When you wake up with backache | nd dull misery In the kidney region )ft may mean you have been eating tpo much meat, says a well known au thority. An excess of meat may form uric acid, which overworks the kid neys In their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and leggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you | must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels, removing all the body’s urinous waste, else you have back ache, sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channejs often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. Either consult a good reliable phy sician at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; 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 lithla, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids In the urine so It no longer Irritates, thus often ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is Inexpensive, cannot In jure and makes a delightful, efferves cent lithla water drink.

There was a continua tion of the heavy eastern profit-taking in wheat and oats, but it soon ran It* course and a rally came toward the last that carried all grains above the finish of the previous day. Thq December futures were decidedly er ratic with rapid price changes. Shorts were forced to bid up to cover, while* the leading long* were good sellers on the upturns. At the inside price May wheat showed 6 l-4c under the high of Thurs day. Closing trades were l-2c lower to 1 l-4o higher on wheat, while com was 1 -21 5-8c higher, oats 3-8c lower to 1 -4c higher and rye l-8c low er. Lard gained 10@12 1*2c while ribs were 6c lower to 2 l-2c higher. Heavy Profit Taking. Heavy profit taking was on In grains during the greater part of the week, bulk of which was regarded as evening up for Income tax purposes. New York oper ator* ho last heavily in stock* late In the year and had large profits In grains were disposed to take them. This was mainly 1 responsible for the sharp break. At the last wheat was V*c higher to l^c lower, the latter on May. Corn was V»<&J3c high-; er, December leading, oats lower and rye lc lower. Lard gained 25 to 27Vic and ribs 7{*20c. News developments counted for little in any grain. Liverpool wheat closed ’a®Id low»*r, making a poor response to 'he decline in America Friday, but it failed to Induce buying. Houses with eastern connections who have been free sellers for several days were active on that side during the first 15 minutes of trading, but the market quieted down thereafter. There was an excellent class of buying In wheat at $1.21 and under for May. Looal short covering made the final rally. Fxport demand was active, but mainly In Manitoba*. Corn Prices Ad\mice. There was no material pressure on corn and the market showed stubborn resist ance to pressure. There was free buying by local professionals around 71c and with short covering brought about an advanofc of 1%C from the inside figure for the Ma>. Exporters weic after corn down state and outside markets outbid Chicago 1 % 4$ 2 %e a bushel in the Springfield, III., territory. Teona solij 100,000 bushels to go to New Orleans. Houses with eastern connections head ed the selling of oats early but the pres sure quickly subsided and the undertone was much firmer than of late. Domestic* shipping demand showed improvement. A much larger » xpo. t business has been put through in rye of late than reported. There was around 1.500.000 bushels or more sold In the past two days, mainly to Germany. Houses with seaboard con nections bought futures steadily. Pit totes. It was the belief or close observers st the close that, tin- heavy fluctuation in grains had spent Its force. Large hold ers have sold for three days and weak longs went out today. December grains went out without any congestion. Wheat was on he market freely nt around $1.26, or 3%o over the May. Torn finished at 7 5%, or 3c over the May; oats, Lb, a discount of 3c under the May. Open Interest was sc* largo that trading continued until about 16 minutes after the regular close in order to even up oil the business. It is said that there has been a good sized short interest here in all grains and that it would not taka much buying to start a general covering movement. Philip J. Reddy has been nominated as chief of tho board of trade. R. W. Me- j Ivlnuon of Thomson A McKinnon has with drawn from the race as will bo Impos sible for him to devote his time to the work as ho spends u great deal of Ills time in New York. Board of trade memberships are $6. 300, the rango for the paid year was $5,000 to $7,450, compared with $5,000 to $8,450 pet to the buyer In 1921. John R. Mantf, secretary of the Chicago board of trade, is said to be slated for the new position assistant to the president at $20,000 a year, and James J. Fones. who retires as vice president, is said to be elected secretary at $ir."00, according to tho gossip of the board. The new di rectory which takes hold January 16, is expected to make appointments. Thompson and McKinnon will establish private wire connections with Baird and Botterell of Winnipeg, commencing Tues day.

Dec. 30.—Repeating the experience of a year ago, the stock exchange ended the year with rising prices and a display of financial cheerfulness. Railway shares moved little as a rule, although even in that quarter there were several advances of a point or more. But industrial stocks were particularly strong, gains of 2 to 3 points for the day being nu merous. For this movement of prices, as for the moderate recovery in foreign ex change rates, abundant cause might be found in the rather extraordinary overnight developments at Washing ton, in which our government’s cards in the European game were laid face upward on the table. We shall have to wait a bit to see precisely what re sponse Europe will make to Seore taVy Hughes’ overtures. But in the meantime, the really Important part of the matter is that the whole dis cussion has been brought up in con crete form on the floor of congress, (ipneml Trend Upward. Comparison of today’s closing prices with those of the preceding Saturday showed the woek's changes In the stock market to have been variable (as they usually are in the last week of Decem ber) but with a general upward trend. A little more Interesting comparison may be made with the closing prices of 1921. In some respects the changes are likely to cause surprise to people who have not lately taken a similar measure ment. That some industrial stocks, aside even from oil shares and the recipients of "stock dividends" have made great advances during the year. everyone knew; such net gains as the 13 points In United States Steel and 39 In Baldwin Locomotive are Instances In point. But the comparison of prices for the railway shares is in its way more Impressive be cause they have generally been discussed as "refusing to move.” But when Union Pacific and Pennsyl vania end the year with a net advance of 11 points, New York Central with 10.

As tho year 1922 passes Into history It rr ay he of interest to readers of thla column to « all to mind some of the varied and marked changes that have character ized th-- hide market during the year Th* market was at Its lowest at the begin ning of the year, and weak and unsettled until earlj In June when an Improvement set in. and prices gradually advanced un til October at which time the demand slackened, anti prices eased off from J to 8 He per pound on nearly all selections c'f hides and skins. It Is known now that v. hen prit • s were forced up to the Oc tober level it was an unnatural level, much above the parity of leather values. One of two things were hound to result from this artificial condition, either leather would have to show a substantial ad vane* or hides would have to work back to » lower level. With th® big stocks “f leather In the hands of tanners and leather merchants the former was Impos sible. So hides dropped to a lower level and are now on a lower basis and mon nearly on a parity with leather than they have been for some time. It Is not expected that there will be an Improvement in hide prices until there is h better demand for leather. 'Phis may come in the early months of the year. Seme arc of the opinion that leather can not be forced up very much until th* burdensome stocks are absorbed. Economic conditions, however, are Improved, and men and women aro better employed, and generally earning good wages which should be reflected In a larger consump tion of boots and shoes as we go Into th* new year Farmers arc getting bcttoi prices for their products, ntid on th* whole th* outlook Is lor better business fer 1923.
