Still Happy

The weather cannot make me
glum, though torrents pour and tenn
pests hum. Whatever climate is on
tap. l wear a brightly beaming map,
and write sane and sounding verse,
contending that things might be
worse. When sunshine on the land
scape floats l hoe my beans and
shredded oats. and carol high, up
lifting lines, until the birds take in
their signs. When wild winds blow
my hat away, / raise no cheap alack-
aday: | have another hat to wear,
and ifit goes l have my hair. And
this glad thought l still rehearse
Somewhere the weather is much
worse. When through long days
the tireless rain is beating at the
door and pane, l sit me down with
divers books wherein the Sherlocks
chase the crooks, and when tire of
Mr.. Holmes ! dig ME up a book
of PONIES, and murmur, as / read
the verse, Somewhere it's raining
ten times worse" I've learned to
take things as they come, nor sigh
when they are out of plumb there s
something pleasant can do when
skies are dark. as when they're blue
there's something soothing can read
when weather bureaus go to seed
there's something joyous l can sing,
though Pluvius must have his fling.
| would accept the universe with
gratitude were it much worse.

10 the Editor of The Star:
Have been reading your valuable

improvements and changes in the ex-

At present you are working hard
better Fairgrounds for the children
and the Older children" In connec-
tion with this theme, 1 remember a
poem from the Fraternal Leader "a

1 believe, will add agreeably to your
campaign for more Fairgrounds. 1t

Proud il the city-she finds q place for many

But she's more than blind II she fails to find a

in the parks Of Washington. So far
as have been able to discover, there

suggest that you also give promi-
nence to this point in your valued

the "unseat-like stone walls" of the
Capitol park, and the seat is anything

the presence of benches in this park
would mar its beauty.
Your paper should receive the
hearty approval and thanks of all the
residents Of Washington, especially
the class that intends renting houses

Big Eaters Get
Kidney Trouble
Take Salts at First Time Of Bladder
Irritation or Baokaehe.

Irritation or Backache.
The American men and women
must guard constantly against kid
ney trouble, because we eat often
too much red meat and all our food
is rich. Our blood is filled with uric
acid which the kidneys strive TO fill
ter out; they weaken from over
work, become sluggish, the elimina-
tive tissues clog and the result is
kidney trouble, bladder weakness
and general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like Jumps
of lead; your back hurts or the
urine is cloudy, full Of sediment OF
you are obliged TO seek relief two or
three times during the night; II you
suffer with sick bachache, or dizzy,
nervous spells, acid stomach. or lf
you have rheumatism when the
weather is bad, get from your phar-
macist about four ounces of Jad
Salts take a tablespoonful In a
glass of water before breakfast for
few days and your kidneys may 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 clogged kidneys;
to neutralize the acids in the urine so
1t no longer is a source Of irritation,
thus often ending bladder disor-
ders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot
injure, makes a delightful efferves-
cent lithia water beverage and be-
longs in every home, because no
body can make a mistake by having
a good kidney flushing any time
