RAISING WILD ANIMALS FOR FURS UNSUCCESSFUL "No extensive. Industrj will ever result from efforts to raise, wild animals In cap. tlvlty for their furs," declares P. H "Waterman, a representative of the J. H. Bishop Fur ocfhpany, who Is In Omaha looking after next season's fur business. Ho referred to attempts made In varl ous parts of .the country to produco mar ketablo furs from skunks, muskrats, minks and other. animals In captivity, and said that tho best results from such ef forts had been found lnferlorto furs se cured from .wild animals in tlfelr natural conditions In. America and abroad. '"The trouble,"" he explained, "is that as soon as an animal . Is held in captivity, the .quality ?f . its fur deteriorates. An other obstacle' is that the varying condl tlons of captivity in different localities make it impossible to secure a uniform quality of fur In that manner." He said that several large eastern fur companies .had experimented with fur bearing animals in captivity, and had abandoned that .method of securing pelts.

Meat form uric acid which excites ths kidneys, they bocome over worked from the strain, get sluggish and fall to filter the waste and poisons from tho blood, then we get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, dlxxlness, sleeplessness and urinary disorders com from sluggish icldny. The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidny or your back hurts or it the Urtn is cloudy, offensive or attended by a sensation ot scalding, stop eating meat and gat about four ounce of Jad Baits from any pharmacy; take a tablcspoontul In a glass ot water bsfors breakfast and In a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salt is made from the acid of grapes, and Uroon juice, combined with Uthla. and ha been used for genera tions to flush and stimulate the kidneys, also to neutralize ths acids In urine so It no longer causess Irritation, thus end ing bladdr weakness.
