under way, with the eldest son
leading the way, his naked sword
in his hand In order to clear the

go along, carrying to the grave
gifts for the priests. When they
arrive there, wives and children
and the near relatives march in
procession around the grave car
rying lighted candles. A prayer
Is said. the body is buried and
sometimes a rocket Is fired.

Have Kidneys
Examined By
Your Doctor
Take Salts to Wash Kidneys II
Back Pains You or Bladder
Bothers

Flush our kidneys by drinking a
quart of water each day, also take salts
occasionally, says a noted authority, who
tells us that too much rich food forms
acids which almost paralyze the kidneys
in their efforts to expel it from the
blood. They become sluggish and
weaken; then you may suffer with a
dull misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in the back or sick headache, dizzi-
ness, your stomach sours, tongue is
coated, and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The urine
gets cloudy, full of sediment, the chan
nels often get sore and irritated, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night.
To help neutralize these irritating
acids, to help cleanse the kidneys and
flush off the body's urinous waste, get
four ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here; take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for a
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 years to help flush and stimulate
sluggish kidneys; also to neutralize the
acids in the system so they no longer
i~rritate, thus often relieving bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; can not IN
jure and makes a delightful efferves-
cent lithia-water drink. By all means
have your physician examine your KID
neys at least twice a year.

HITS AUTO.

DIR. and Mrs. w. E. Dean had q
thrilling experience a few days ago
when, while driving near Big Timber
they encountered a storm and their
automobile was struck by lightning.
Neither was injured, but the bolt tore
a hole in the top of their car and
knocked bolts out of the rear fender
and the frame. Thus is the general
belief that lightning never strikes an
auto disprOved.

It is a recognized fact that the soil
producing food stuff and other COM
modities required for the sustenance
and comfort of humanity is the final
basis from which everything must be
reckoned.
Communities, states and even ma
tons have risen to the peaks of pros
perity or have sunk to the depths Of
poverty through proper recognition
of the Importance of building up and
maintaining the fertility of their
soils or neglecting that duty as the
case might be.
We have examples of this in the
so called deserted farms" in sections
Of the extreme eastern parts of the
United States, where everything vas
taken and nothing returned to the
soil for generations, until the produc-
tivity was entirely exhausted. Then,
we have the middle west, where years
ago the Importance of fertilization
was temporarily overlooked until It
was so forcibly brought home to the
land holder that proper recognition
was given to the subject, and in those
middle western sections we now OBJ
serve what is propably as we'll a
balanced, prosperous and diversified
an agriculture as may be found any
where in the world; with livestock
occupying its place as one of the most
important units in that prosperous
structure. It was in this section
where the old saying originated
"show me the condition of the soil
and I will tell you the character Of
the farmer"
1t is a self evident fact that year
