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

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.

"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."

Obesity ana Diet
(I'ublUhed by mithorlty of the Com -
mittee of Public Affair* of file Omalm
IlouKla* County Metlieal Society.I
By ADOLPH SACHS, M. 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.

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.
