EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
Courses Open for Che New Year.
By GEORGE T. HUGHES.


What courses are open to the in
weston planning his program for the
coming year?
First he bay leave the major por-
ton of his funds in the bank sacrific-
ing his present income in the hope
that he may enter the security market
on more advantageous terms at some
later time. For those who believe
this the best solution the savings bank
furnishes the best medium. Money
there deposited is always Immediately
available, and If left long enough it
earns it's keep. incidentally the saw
ings banks pay a larger interest on
accounts than is to be had from
United States Government bonds. In
most States these institutions are Sec
ond in safety only to Government
bonds.
Secondly the investor may turn to
real estate mortgages. There is much
to be said in favor of this form of in
vestment just now. The return, Sc
curity considered. is liberal compared
with either stocks or bonds. Mort
cages have the disadvantage of not
being marketable. They are suitable
for those who want permanent in
vestment. There is no opportunity
for appreciation of capital in a real
estate mortgage.
Two other drawbacks should be men
toned and one is that although mort
cages are written for a definite term,
usually three years, as a matter OF
practice they run on indefinitely. A
formal renewal is very often dis
pensed with as long as the interest
is kept up regularly. The other is the
expense and trouble Of foreclosure in
hn IN.
weston has to take wore the property
and carry it.
All this admitted, we'll chosen real
estate mortgages. on which anywhere
from to per cent can be had, are
as attractive as anything else in the
way Of an investment under present
conditions

Weed Has High Rank in Forces of Nature

Weeds are the wound dressers of
the soil. Whenever man or nature
makes scar, the vigorous, coarse
fibered weeds find out the spot and
straightway mend the injury. Hated
and much objurgated, the weed, of
whatever breed, is one of the most
useful forces in nature. The farmer
regards it as a foe, the gardener as
a nuisance. In truth, it is friend
that persists. regardless of i'll treat
ment and attempts at extirpation.
Soil, to preserve it's strength, must be
protected with some sort of nature
covering, otherwise the rains leach 1t,
or wash away the precious particles
of mold that make it reproductive.
Man neglects this factor in his deal
ings with the earth. Plowed fields are
allowed to go uncovered after the
crop is harvested Washouts are left
to take care of themselves. So is

The American men and women must
guard constantly against kidney
trouble because we often eat too much
rich food. Our blood Is filled with
acids which the kidneys strive to
filter out; they weaken from over
work, become sluggish, the elimina-
tive tissues clog and the result is kid
ney trouble, bladder weakness and
general decline in health.

Is cloudy, full of sediment, or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night; if you suffer
with sick headache, or dizzy, nervous
spells, acid stomach, or if you have

begin drinking lots of good soft water
and get from your pharmacist about
four ounces Of Jad Salts. Take q
tablespoonful in glass of water be-
fore breakfast for few days and
your kidneys may then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM

for years to help flush and stimulate
clogged kidneys, to neutralize the
acids in the system so they no longer

relieving bladder disorders.
