When the kidneys are weak or diseased, these natural filters do not cleanse the blood sufficiently, and the poisons are carried to all parts of the body. There follow depression, aches and pains, heaviness, drowsiness, irrita bility, headaches, chilliness and rheu matism. In some people there are sharp pains in the back and loins, distressing d bladder disorders and sometimes obsti T nate dropsy. The uric acid sometimes forms into gravel or kidney stones. When the uric acid affects the muscles and joints it causes lumbago, rheuma tism, gout or sciatica. This is the time to send Dr. Pierce, Invalids’ Hotel, Buffalo, N.

BIG EATERS HAVE BAD KIDNEYS AND BACKACHE Take a Glass of Salts at Once If Your Back Is Hurting or Kidneys and Bladder Trouble You. The American men and women must guard constantly against Kidney trou ble, because we eat too much and all our food is rich. Our blood is filled with uric acid which the kidneys strive to filter out, they weaken from overwork, become sluggish; the elimi native tissues clog and the result is kidney trouble, bladder weakness and a general decline in health. When your kidneys feel like lumps of lead; your back hurts or the urine 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 you have rheu matism when the weather is bad, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a table spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kid neys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys; to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot In , jure, makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water beverage, and belongs in every home, because nobody can make a mistake by having a good kidney flushing any time.—Adv.

"What's that song they're singing now?” '* ‘Rock of Ages.’ ” “‘Rock of Ages?’ Well, that’s the first time I ever heard those words to 'Rock of Ages,’ and that's the first time 1 ever heard that tune to it. Must be something new. Nice win dow they got there, ain't it?” “Ye-e-es, 1 should say it is!” "I don't think I'll care much for your new preacher—don’t like his col lar.” “John!” “Well, I don't! ' And I don't like the way he says ‘idear,’ neither. If your other preacher hadn’t talked like he had a lot of potato in his mouth all the time, I’d have come oftener. Lots of time I came here just on your ac count, and sat here in misery.” "Yes, how many times were you here in the last year?” "Wasn’t 1 here last Children's day?” Anticipating a Demand. He was the proprietor of a large draper's and milliner's shop, and was also very enterprising, and ever ready to turn anything to account. "By the way, Miss Wililams," he re marked one morning, addressing one of his charming black-gowned sales ladies, “do you happen to know any thing about the new minister who's going to have charge of the church round the corner?” “Why, yes,” was the quick reply. ‘‘He is a tall, handsome, fine-looking man, about twenty-eight, I should say, and he isn’t married.” ‘‘Miss Williams,” said the proprietor briskly, “you may put all the new hats in the shop window at once.” Hard to Fill. “Mister Jedge,” said the old colored citizen whc came into the Justice's court leading a small negro by the coat collar, “Mister Jedge, I wish you’d please, suh, give dis boy ten years whar de stafe’ll furnish de vittles for him.” “What do you mean?” asked the as tonished justice. “What has he been doing?” “Eatin' me out er house en home, suh,” was the reply, “wid dat appetite er his.

S' —-™— >< ..—• PROVED DEPTH OF HIS LOVE By Saying He Would Do That Which Would Please Her Least If Put to the Test. The twc lovers sat together with clasped hands. It was one of those solemn, tender moments in the early dusk. But at last she turned her love ly face toward him, her rich voice quivering with emotion. “Darling,” she said, “I have some thing I think 1 ought to say to you. ! hesitate to mention it, because it is about horrid business.” “Say anything you please,” he mur mured, rapturously. "It is about our future. This is a practical age, an age of efficiency, wrhen each one of us is taught to look ahead with some definite plan. Psy chology teaches us that love is a well defined and often limited mental vi bration, subject to Inevitable laws. Sci ence has laid bare to us the secrets of human life. Sociology has shown that we are often the distressed victims of forces beyond our control. In view of these undisputed facts, in view of the possibility which, however remote it may seem to each of us at the pres ent moment, I think it is my duty to ask you, in case after we are married anything should happen to draw us apart, just what regular alimony I could count upon?” The lover at her side uttered a sigh of anguish. “My darling,” he muttered, “1 shod der when I think of such a horrible possibility. Nevertheless, I hope 1 am big and broad enough to appreciate thoroughly the wise and thoughtful spirit in which you have had the su preme courage to approach this ques tion.” He turned and faced her, taking both of her beautiful hands in his. “And so," he replied, “I shall an swer you truthfully. If things get so that we cannot live together, and I am called upc t for alimony, you can count upon me not to give up one red cent, even if it takes all my salary to defend myself in the courts. Before I do that I'll keep on living with you!" She buried her head on his shoul der. “Now I know that you love me sin cerely," she whispered.—Life. CLEARED UP THE MYSTERY Disgruntled Hotel Guest Had Satisfac tion of Finding Out Where His Towel Had Gone. A traveling man with headquarters in Columbus and who makes many vil lages in Ohio, tells the following about a small town in the southern part of the state: “I got up one morning, and, of course, there was no towel in my room, just because I was in a hurry. So I had to go down in the public lava tory and wash. A jovial, fat fellow was sitting across from me at breakfast, and when he noticed my disposition, for I was sore about that towel, he said, ‘What's the matter, sleep well?' “I told him my troubles." “ Say, I've, solved that problem,’ he exclaimed. ’Why don’t you do as I do? When there’s no towel in my room, I just slip into the adjoining room and take the other fellow’s, while he's asleep. 1 had to do that this morning, and fortunately the door next to mine was unlocked.’ " ‘What's the number of your room ?’ “ 'Fourteen.' “ Then I know where my towel went.’ ”—Columbus Dispatch. No Change. "It's a scandal the way women dress nowadays. Our grandmothers never wore any such immodest garments." “Perhaps not, but I'd be willing to bet that our grandfathers made just as big a fuss over the things they did wear as you men do about the present styles.” Careless. "What brought you here, my poor man?" asked the prison visitor. “Just plain absent-mindedness," re plied the prisoner. “Why, how could that be?” “I forgot to scratch the monogram off a watch before I pawned it."
