In music, he has proved himself a

was shy a leading man and as the
Turner Company wasn't yet well or

James Kirkwood and others, and for
them to give me a leading man who

MEAT CAUSE Of
KIDNEY trouble
Take q glass of Salts if your Back
hurts or Bladder bothers-Meat
forms uric acid.

If you must have your meat every day,
eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts
occasionally, says a noted authority who
tells us that meat forms uric acid which
almost paralyzes the kidneys in their eff
forts to eXpel it from the blood. They
become sluggish and weaken, then you
suffer with a dull misery in the kidney
region, sharp pains in the back or sick
headache, dizziness, your stomach sours,
tongue is coated and when the weather
is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or three
time during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids, to
cleanse the kidneys and flush off the
body's urinous waste get four ounces of
Jad Salts from any pharmacy here;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize the acids in urine,
so it no longer initiates, thus ending
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure, and makes q delightful effeTvescent
Whitewater drink.

DERIVATION OF GRASS WIDOW
Term Probably Is Corruption of Grace
and Comes From Middle
Age Usage.

How did the term grass widow
arise? The most popular derivation,
according to Pearson's Weekly, is
that grass" is corruption of grace,
the RECOMMENDATION of which, in the
Latin, is grahse.
In the Middle ages widows were
said to be "under Gods grace" for Il
year after their husbands death, at
the end Of which period they might
properly, if they wished, remarry, and
so Il widow in grace meant a new
widow.
About the same time the wives of
the marriages that were, in excep-
tiOnal cases. amnulIed by the church.
began also to be spoken of as widows
of grace, in the rather different sense
that they owed their virtual ''id0w-
hood to the grace" or favor of the
church. So then, a grace-pro-
nOunCed grass-widOw came to mean
a wife, called a widow by courtesy.
Another explanation is that, exactly

child who explained her condition

band, was contemptuouSIy spoken o.:
as ''widow Of grass"
1t is i'll this sense that the phrase is
commonly used ON the continent
whereas in this country the term gen.
orally means It real wife temporarily
living away from her husband.
