F KIDNEYS AND
 BLADDER BOTHER
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys and Ncu-

Kidney and bladder irritations often result from uric acid, says a noted authority The kidneys filter this acid from the blood and pass it on to the bladder, where it may remain to ir- ritate and inflame, causing a burn ing, scaldng sensation, or setting up an irritation at the neck of the blad- der. obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. The sufferer is in constant dread; the wa ter passes sometimes with a scaldng sensation and Is very profuse; again there is difficulty in voiding it.
 Bladder weakness most folks call it, because they can't control urina- tion. While 1t is extremely annoying and sometimes very painful, this is often one of the most simple ail- ments to overcome Get about four ounces of lad Salts from your phar- macist and take a tablespoonful in Q glass of water before breakfast; con- tinue this for two or three days. This will help neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is q source of irritation to the bladder and urinary organs which then act normal again.
 lad Salts is inexpensive, harmless, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is used by thousands Of folks who are subject to urinary disorders caused by uric acid irritation. lad Salts is splendid for kidneys and causes no bad effects whatever.

 The result was that at last the companionship between Bess and Ned, forgotten in the dread horror of the early winter months, was revived. Again they had pleasant hours about the stove at the Forks cabin, some times working at pelts, sometimes even enjoying the unheard-of luxury of few minutes of ideness.
 Very naturally, and scarcely aware of the fact themselves, they had come to be the best of companions.
 Ned's hours with Lenore, however, had at first. She somehow failed to understand what he had been through.
 Slowly. by the school of hardship, and conquest over hardship, Ned Cor net was winning new self-mastery, a new sef-confidence to take the place of the self-conceit that had brought him to disaster. But the first real moment of wakening was also one of peril--on the trapping trail one clear afternoon toward the [ bitter close of January.
