< The theaters. the pictures, the
music, and now-the church.
How stupid they were, the men
and women who founded these Uni
ted States Of America.
They never talked about sex at
all-they didn't have time. They
were too busy thinking about Indi-
ans and r~attlcsnakes, hunger, and
cold, and how TO make corn grow,
and what TO do to keep the loi
cabin warm.
And they cut down the trees, and
chopped holes in the ice 10 catch
enough fish to keep them from
starving to death, and they fell in
love and they married like sensible
sane, healthy. normal people and
they let sex take care Of itself.
And they brought up big famil-
les and neve told one OF them one
single word aobut what we love to
call the facts Of life"
Yet somehow the boys and girls
seemed to know enough TO fall in
love at the right time and nobody
had to give them lessons in mar
riage." They conquered the wilder
ness, founded great schools. built
magnificent cities. and now we have
to hear young sprigs who couldn't
decently chop down a tree or pillow
a field to save their lives, sit up and
sniff at the men and women who
did these things and did them as a
matter Of course.
What Is there new about sex any
way-that we should rend the heav-
ems with our wild cries of discov-
cry?
Grandma and Grandpa appear tc
have heard that there was such a
thing as a difference between a
man and a woman
And in Grandpa's time. when ar
old gentleman began to talk about
his conquests. people began to raise
their eyebrows and realize that he
was just-talking.
I wonder II these young people
who are so determined to Talk Sex"
are Just a little bit like the old gen.
tleman who took his emotions out
in talking?

DRUGS EXCITE
The KIDNEYS,

Take Salts at First Sign of
Bladder Irritation or
Backache

The American men and women
must guard constantly against kid
ney 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
overwork, become sluggish, the elm
NATIVE 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: If you SUI
fer with sick headache, or dizzy,
nervous spells, acid stomach, or if
you have rheumatism when the
weather is bad, begin drinking lots
of good soft water and get from
your pharmacist 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 years to help flush and
stimulate clogged kidneys, to neu-
tralize the acids in the system so
they no longer are a source of ir-
ritation, thus often relieving blad-
der disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; can not
injure, makes a delightful efferves-
cent lithia- water drink and belongs
in every home, because nobody can
make a mistake by having a good
kidney flushing any time.-Adver-
