- A girl friend of mine who
is to be married next month is
being given a dinner in her honor
by friend. My husband and
are invited. and I am in doubt as
to whether to bring the. guest of
honor gift. II so, what would
you suggest, and should 1 bring
1t with me on this evening?
| am under the impression that
in this case the guest of honor
should be given a gift, but I
want to be absolutely sure.
A READER.
see no reason why you should
4 take present to the guest of
honor of the party. Such a party
Is merely given in honor of the
bride-to-be-and 1t would seem to
me ridiculous for the guests to
be expected to bring presents, too.

Clean Kidneys
BY Drinking
Lots of Water
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys II
Bladder Bothers or
Back Hurts

Eating too much rich food may pro-
duce kidney trouble in some form,
says well-known authority, because
the acids created excite the kidneys.
Then they become oyerworked, get
sluggish, clog up and cause all sorts
of distress, particularly backache and
misery in the kidney region, rheu-
matte twinges, severe headaches, acid
stomach, constipation, torpid liver,
sleeplessness, bladder and urinary irri-
tation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or If bladder
bothers you, begin drinking lots of
good water and also get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any good
pharmacy; take tablespoonful in
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 lithfa, and has
been used for years to flush clogged
kidneys and stimulate them to activ-
fly; also to neutralize the acids in
the system SO that they DO longer
irritate, thus often relieving bladder
disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which millions of men
and women take now and then to help
keep the kidneys and urinary organs
clean, thus often avoiding serious kid
ney disorders.

Herd of Antelope Is
Found in Texas County

Mercedes, Texas.-In the remote
wilderness of chaparral In the border
district between Mercedes and Laredo,
herd of antelope was recently dis
covered by Charles G. Jones, state
game warden. Mr.. Jones said upon
his return to Mercedes that the ranch
region Of the border is still teeming
with wild game.
"For three weeks l have been get
ting acquainted in Starr, Zapata and
jim Hogg counties and find game
PLENTIFUL" he said. "There ere thou
sands of quail, deer and wild hogs on
every side. There are about $50 ante
lope in Jim Hogg county. If the
hunter was ever careful in his life, let
it be when he runs across these pro-
tected animals, for no one is allowed
to shoot an antelope in Texas at any
time.
'"They are the most graceful animals
that ever lived, and the hunter should
view them for their beauty and not
their meat. This little herd In Jim
Hogg county is practically all that is
left of hundreds of thousands Of these
noble creatures that 35 years ago
roamed over the prairie sections of
Texas"

No mother in this enlightened age
would give her baby something she
did not know was perfectly harmless,
especially when few drops Of plain
Castoria will right baby's stomach
and end almost any little i'll. Fretful-
ness and fever, too; it seems no time
until everything is serene.
That's the beauty Of Castoria; it's
gentle influence seems just what is
needed. 1t does all that castor Oil
might accomplish, without shock to
the system. Without the evil taste.
It's delicious Being purely vegeta-
able, you can give it as often as
there's sign Of collie; constipation;
diarrhea; or need to aid sound, nat
ural sleep.
Just one warning: it is genuine
Fletchers Castoria that physicians
recommend. Other preparations may
be just as free from all doubtful drugs,
but no child of this writer's is going
to test them! Besides, the book on
care and feeding of babies that comes
with Fletche1's Castoria is worth it's
weight in gold.

carved as astronomical figures on
