IF KIDNEYS ACT 8AD TAKE SALTS Says Backache Often Means You Have Not Been Drink ing Enough Water When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it may mean that you have been eat ing foods which create acids, says a well-known authority. An excess of such acids overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter It from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get slug gish'and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels, remov ing all the body's urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is conted and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine Is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to Feek relief two or three times during the night. ,, ,, . Either consult a good, reliable phy sician at once or get from your phar^ macist 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 llthla, and has been used for years to help clean and stimu late sluggish kidneys, also to neutral ize acids in the system, so they no longer Irritate, thus often relieving bladder weakness. Jad Salts Is Inexpensive, can not In jure and makes a delightful, efferves cent llthla-water drink. Drink lots of soft water. By all means have your physician examine your kidneys at least twice a year. “Speed” Murphy, Boxcar Aristocrat, Says Hobo Is Savior of Country > m \ . - V / -% ■ . • _ i •» /**%>' *s- ^.o/?e <s <sf" tACu rn ay .—— . ■ ' ... . These self satisfied bourgeoise who think a hum, a 'bo and a tramp are all the same thlng^imke "Speed" Mur phy ache to give them a swift paste in the "kisser," ns “Speed" humor ously terms the facial orifice that one talks with. "Speed" is a 'bo, and proud of it. Ile'd rather be a 'bo than a director In a hank. But just call him a bum, and you’ve got a tough man on your hack. "Speed" Is proud of his pro fession. "Speed” lives under Ills hat, and when his hat happens to he In Oma ha he stays on lower Douglas street. In a "flop house.” When he isn’t in Omaha, which Is most of the time, ho Is likely to be most anywhere from Tallahoochee, Miss., to Kethchifykan, Can., or on the brake rods between those two cities. "Speed” is Philanthropist. “Speed” is a student, philosopher, and philanthropist. One might guess. I to look at his not-always-trimmed hair, that he was a philosopher, but one would never accuse him of being a philanthropist. Hut one never knows. "Speed" was In Omaha last week on official business for himself, and he whiled away a. few idle moments with a bit of light, reading in the edt torfttl columns of The Omaha Hec. Hr ran across an editorial headed "Tramps In a New Right.” and it pleased his fancy so much that he wrote a letter to the^edltorlal writer, to tell him that he was "one of the wonders of the present century.” Then he went on to explain. ‘■You stated that ttie tramp and the thief were considered the same thing In the past," Speed wrote. "The peo ple have not changed. They think the same of the tramp today.” Then followed a huge ink blot, expressive of Speed’s "contempt for folks who confuse tramps and thieves. Hobos Are Aristocrats. After this outburst, Speed went on to point out-kthe difference between tramps, hobos, bums, and thieves. Of these, he declares, the hobos are the aristocrats of the world's floating population. They are builders, he implies, just as much as Itotary club members. ‘‘AVe have over 3,000,000 so-callel tramps In this country." lie says. f.Oft Calaveras Mining 2 - - 2700 Cunurlo Copper.. .4 3 * r? 100*Chino Ext.51 B1 100 Cons Cop Min.... ■%, «£» *T* 2no Oressoti Glhl. •''» ' '** 500*l>lamoiu1field B B. 6 '» ’ 1900 Engineers G Min.. 20 li iJ 400Q*Eureka Croesus . 17 1 > ** 1000*Eirst Thought G M 20 2000*Golden States-- 9 * 2000*Goldf Ield Cons ... 4 ♦ * 2000*Qoldfield Deep ..2 - - 4000*Gohlfield Dev .. 4 4 J 2000*Harmin DW Min.. 11 JJ }J_ 5000 Hrrl.i Min .

Swilzeiland ...1934 "We have the seasonal trencents (or Is It transients? Speed's writing is Hot always clear) who are about 60 per cent of the tramps. Bui they tire not known as tramps, but as holms. "These hobos are very Important to the advancement and progress of the country. They travel thousands of miles to get some big job that fambly (or is that word family?) man cannot and would not work at. be cause he would not ride the freight or blind, which is the space between the coaches of a passenger train. But the '1)0 takes all kinds of chances to get the job, and lives under bad conditions most of the time.” Contempt for Brakemen. "Speed” has, naturally, only con temptuous toleraime for hrakemen, but he puts in a good word for the railroads. "Thousands of ’bos are arrested by railroad officers during the off season in witch ths/ cannot work,” he says. "But when the outdoor work starts in the spring, the rail roads beg the ’bos to ride on the freights Into the harvest fields. That means millions in their coffers, and prosperity for the country. And re gardless of what people think, the railroads are always pulling for pros perlty for the whole country.” This Is the way "Speed” explains the difference between a hum, a 'bo, and a tramp: "The hum Is n man that Is a crip ple In body or mind. They seldom leave the city, hut beg on the streets at all hours of the day or night. "The tramp Is some old man who cannot work because of his age. All lie wants Is to keep traveling from one part of the country to another until he drops by the ’wayside or is found dead in some 10-cent flop house.” 'Bos’ Superb Sacrifices. "I would like to tell you of some of the fine sacrifices that I have seen 'hos make for tramps, or to help some man that Is sick yor dying, down in the Valley of Lost Men, but it would take too long.” "Speed” then casually drops in a paragraph to say that “in the last four months I have spent $700 to help down-and-out men that I have met. I wish it was $7^,000.” "Speed” is a vaudeville actor once in awhile, but he found that he could not make a go of it in Omaha, so, he says, “I am catching a freight out at Cllbson tomorrow, to go to some other town where I can get some work at something or other. But whenever I want r rast or have any money to spend, I come hack to the only home I know—Omaha." AI> V KRT1HEM ENT.

D. The subject of diets and how to re duce is at present a popular toojAin many households and social giHnor Ings. The fact of being slightly overweight, even though feeling per fectly well, is the bane of the pres ent generation, or in other words it is decidedly unpopular to be fat. Reduction cures are essential for some people because overweight at times leads to disease, but to reduce just to satisfy dame fashion is a dan gerous pastime. Diet is one of the most essential factors in retaining good health, and it is imjiorttint that we at least know something about balanced rations and our respective needs before blindly attempting to reduce. Food Source of Knergy. Food is the source from which our energy Is supplied and therefore must be chosen wisely so that repair and waste will retnin their proper rela tionship. Vltamlnes have been dis cussed frequently in popular lectures of lats, and great advance is also be ing made in scientific research, dis covering their relationship to disease. Vltamlnes are essential substances contained in certain foods, the ab sence of which over long periods of time will cause definite nutritional disturbances known as deficiency dis eases, examples of which are scurvy, rickets, beriberi and pellagra. Most diets of our daily routine are sufficiently balanced to contain these essential elements and hence these conditions are rarely met In our country. Continued fasts and depri vations such as resulted In certain districts during the recent war have demonstrated the great effect of diet on human welfare. The ordinary reducing diets con tain balanced rntioifll and little if any harm results, unless prolonged over long periods. Kxtremes of any kind usually lead to disaster, nn<j likewise Improperly balanced reduction diets are often factors In producing many minor and occasionally serious ail ments. Food Composition. Foods are composed of carbo hydrates, proteins, fats, salts and water, and a well-balanced ration contains them' all. Carbohydrates are sweets, starchy foods, flour, cere als, bread, potatoes, etc. Proteins are chiefly meats, eggs and milk, hut also contained In vegetables such ns peas, beans, etc. Fats are found In butter, lard, fatty meats, oils, etc. The proteins are largely tissue builders, while fats and carbohydrates are energy producers and tissue savers. Salts, such as so dium, potassium, calcium. phos phorus, iron, Iodine and sulphur, are also essential, and are found In table salt, fruits, vegetables, eggs and meats. Water Is also essential and should he more regularly consumed than is the usual habit of some peo ple. The human system may he likened to a. stove or furnace, and the food we consume Is our fuel. Some foods such as carbohydrates and fats burn more readily, and resemble soft coalj Some foods such as proteins resemble hard coal and burn less readily. Care should he taken lest we choke our human furnace with an oversupply of Improperly combusted fuel. Na ture conserves fuel much better than our furnaces, and stores up its excess of energy in the form of fat. This fat may be of great value In emer gencies, such as high fevers, and Ill nesses where the body storehouse Is called upon to supply our fuel. This is why fevers often times cause great loss of weight. We now give highly nutritious, easily digestible food In fevers, while in times past, starvation diets were employed. We have definite heat units for food, the same ns we nave for fuel. Backed by Over Half a Century | of Success in the | ' Treatment of | Catarrh and | Catarrhal I Conditions Sold Everywhoro T*bUt* or _ These heat units are measured In form of calories. A large calorie, the one most commonly useil. Is the amount of heat required to raise one kilogram (or 2.2 pounds) of water one degree centigrade. The body needs less fuel or caloric Intake at rest than It does at work, also it takes more fuel to produce the same amount of heat In some In dividuals than it does In others. All healthy bodies need exercise fi prevent clogging In the human fur nace, and likewise exercise should be taken wisely so ns to meet our needs and still not overtax our vital organs, especially our hearts. A man past 40 should not exercise as strenuously as a youth of IS. AVe also must not Jump from a sedentary life to on/ of vigorous exercise, but should use judgment and common sense in all things. lAn ordinary person at rest requires 30 calories per kilogram (2.2 pounds) of body weight to nourish the body, and 40 calories per kilogram at work. This is a general rule, and Is modi fied to meet our special requirements: i gram of carbohydrates equals 4.1 calories. . 1 gram of protein equals 4.1 calories. I gram of fat equals 9.0 calories. 1 grain of alcohol equals 7.0 calorics It is easy to sec which foods most readily produce fat, namely those of high caloric value, such as fats, oil, cream, butter, and those easily burn ed, such as/carbohydrates, namely sugar, sweets, potatoes, white bread, dessert*, etc. Varied Advice. ’ Everyone's neighbor, or some fad dist usually has some excellent ad vice to give in regard to reducing, but be sure it meets your require ments before following the same. People, the same ns sheep, frequent ly follow tfleir 1 felcr to their de struction. Ob'esity and overweight are not al ways due to faulty diet. There are certain organs in our bodies such as the thyroid gland, the ovaries, tes ticles, pituitary gland and pancreas which by' their faulty function are a great factor in producing obesity. Some fat individuals may ent little and still be fat This Is usually due to faulty metabolism (burning of fuel), and frequently caused by disturbed function of the above organs. The thyroid gland is our human damper, and Is a great factor in caus ing loss of weight by Its overfunction, or an excess of weight by a lessened function. An extract of this gland Is frequently given to reduce weight and Is used In many advertised reduc tion cures without strenuous diet. An over use of this gland has a deleter ious effect on the heart, and nervous system, and hence should be used with great caution. Many people have used it with no ill -effects, but that is because nature made them like a “fool proof car.” that occas ionally stands for great abuse. Thyroid extract properly used Is undoubtedly of great value, but Its promiscuous use Is to be condemned. ATgorous purges and sweats nre likewise abused. Prolonged purging often causes severe bowel trouble and Is to be discouraged. Sweats are occasionally of value, If not used to a degree of fatigue, or in constitutional ly weak individuals, or bad heart cases. The Daily Cross Word Puzzle _; tty RICHARD II.
