Uric acid in meat excites the kidneys, they become overworked; get sluggish, ache, and feel like lumps of lead. The urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is irri tated, and you may be obliged to seek re lief two or three times during the night. When the kidneys clog you must help them flush off the body's urinous waste or you'll be a Teal sick person shortly. At first you feel a dull misery in the kid ney region, you suffer from backache, sick headache, dizziness, stomach gets sour, tongue coated and you feel rheu matic twinges when the weather is bad. Eat less meat, drink lots of water; also get from any pharmacist four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys 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 clean clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity, also to neutralize the acids in urine, so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in jure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which everyone should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active. Druggists here say they sell lots of Jad Salts to folks who believe in overcoming kidney trouble while it is only trouble. For Sale bv Huntley Bros. (Adv.)

When Enraged They Are Apt to Tear Their Victims to Pieces. "An elephant uses several 'original and effective methods of exterminating its victims." it may "rush upon a man, seize him in Its trunk, beat bim to death on the ground and before leav ing tear up the foliage for yards about There are many instances of ele phants literally tearing their victims to pieces. The story is told of an Eng lish official in Uganda who on noticing a "safari" passing stepped to the door to inquire of the head man the where abouts of his master.1 In response the black swung a human arm before the official and replied that a few days previous his master bad been torn to pieces by an elephant and that he had brought back the arm In proof of his assertion.' Then again aster knocking a man down an elephant will often continue ; on its course without stopping to learn how' much damage it has done. A hunter who was within close proximity of a herd of elephants banded his rifle to the gun bearer and started to climb a tree to look aboat At that moment an elephant cba-ged from the tall grass and made for the gun bearer. As the man started to run he threw up his arms, and In some manner the ele phant h) reaching: for him snatched the rifle from his hand and stopped to hammer it on the ground, while the black made good his escape. J.-Alden Loring in Outing. "A Very Monstrous Great 8hip.'' In her "Life of James IV," Miss I. A. Taylor says that James was untir ing in bis efforts toward the realiza tion of a good Scottish fleet In 1511 the building of the St Michael, "a very monstrous great ship." was com pleted. "All he woods in Fife, save one. had been laid waste to build her," and material was also imported from Norway. : According to Lindsay, this wonder ship, which was 240 feet long and 36 broad, "cumbered all Scotland to get her to the sea." Her sides were ten feet thick within walls of oak. and she cost the king, all told, some 40.000. He paid her daily visits when she lay in the roads, oftenCdinlng and supping on board, and exhibiting hei to the lords and ladies he brought with him. Henry VIII. was covetous of her, but when the singular request was preferred that James "would grant Henry the loan of the apple of his eye. the great St. Michael, the king's reply was to the effect that If he would make peace with France he might command all his ships." Six months after their king's death the Scottish government sold this desirable ship to Louis XII. A Mystery of Diplomacy. Of disappearances, most mysterious was the case of Benjamin Bathurst who vanished on Nov. 25. 1809. while engaged on a secret mission for the British foreign office. Vienna was the young diplomatist's objective and. with a friend and valet in a post chaise. Perleuerg, a small posting town in North Germany, had been reached. Here Bathurst supped and slept, awaiting the arrival of fresh horses. Waking, he asked if the horses were ready and passed out of the inn door to make inquiries. Eight people saw him go out but none ever set eyes on bim again. Various theories were set afoot Napoleon's spies, robbers, illness. About three years ago, in the forest near Perleberg, a skeleton was discovered with a hole in the skull as from a heavy blunt instrument Was it that of "the English lord," as Perle berg people surmised? London Tatler. The Illegible Writer. A protest which Michelangelo once made to his nephew against bis send ing letters in illegible handwriting will arouse a great deal of sympathy in the breast of modern sufferers from the same form of rudeness." It is contain ed in a letter given in the "Life of Michelangelo." "I never receive a letter from you without being thrown into a fever be fore I can read it I am at a loss to know where you learnt how to write! Little love here! I believe if yon had to write to the biggest ass in the world you would take greater care. I threw your last letter into the fire because I could not read it 1 cannot therefore reply. I have already told you, and constantly repeated, that every time I get a letter from you fever attacks me before I succeed in reading it" Insurance and Assurance. They were talking, the little group of agents, about the words insurance and assurance, some claiming tbat the first and some that the second was the better word to use. But with a scornful laugh a Boston agent in gold rimmed spectacles said: "You are all very Ignorant Insur ance is no better and no worse than assurance. Each has a special signifi cance, and each is equally good in its place. The place for assurance is where precaution is- taken against a certainty against, that is. death. Life assurance, we should say if we spoke with perfect correctness. The place for insurance is where precaution is taken against an uncertainty, such as fire, shipwreck, burglary. Fire insurance, marine insurance, we sbould say." Exchange. - - When Macaulay Was a Boy. At one period of bis boyhood Macau lay's fancy was much exercised by the threats and terrors of the law. He had a little plot of ground at the back of the bouse marked out as his own by a row of oyster shells, which a maid one day threw away, as rubbish. He went straight to the drawing room, where his ' mother was entertaining some visitors, walked into the circle and said very solemnly. "Cursed be Sally, for It is written.

He vras an affectionate ani mal and greatly endeared himself to all about the place. They called him Chum, and he Joyfully responded whenever his name was spoken. As the days passed, other poor, homeless dogs were put to death. Finally came Chum's last day of grace, and no one bad come to claim him. The next morning dawned, and the man who was to kill Chum called him into the yard. Chum danced and wagged his tail, no doubt thinking something good was in store for him. The man then said: "Well. Chummy; your time has come. You'd better say your pray ers." Immediately the little forepaws were crossed, the .little head bowed, and Chum said his prayers. As the little body was still in this attitude of reverence a step was heard. The at tendant looked up and saw the super intendent standing there. There were tears in the eyes of each. Chum is still living, but instead of being no body's dog he is now everybody's. St Louis Republic. Proved His Profession. In "Pierre Garat Singer and Ex quisite." is this story of the Parisian favorite: Out alone one evening in 1792 Garat was arrested by a patrol of na tional guards because be was unable to produce bis card of citizenship, as decreed by the convention. And so he, Garat, "whose larynx was said to be a whole opera," was taken to the sec tion bouse, and the officer in command began bis interrogation as follows: "Your profession?" "I sing." "That" retorted the officer, "is not a profes sion. 1 also sing." "Possibly," drawl ed our hero, "but I sing better than you. The case is not the same." "Oh! Sou will have to prove that!" Garat always fond of an innocent coup de theatre, immediately attacked one of the most florid romances of his reper toirea thing of trills, roulades and "dying fails," a performance so aston ishing in that grimy guardhouse tbat his captors not only released bim, but escorted him home in triumph. ' A Novelty In Strikes. The management of a traveling the atrical company demanded 2 shillings for admission. The visitors did not propose to pay more than 1 shilling and after a hasty consultation outside the entrance formed a "theater goers' union." Pickets were stationed, and within a few minutes 278 people practically all who were there had agreed not to pay the 2 shillings. The manager appeared at the door way and refused to make the required reduction. "I'll give ,v...i till I count twenty. said the newly elected president of the new union, "and after that our price will be sixpence instead of 1 shilling. He counted slowly to nine, and then the manager capitulated. The strike was declared nt an end. the quondam strikers trooped into the hall, and the union was dissolved after an existence of about twenty minutes. Sydney (Australia Mail. The Eskimo Mind. The difficulty of conveying the true idea of Christianity to the Eskimo mind is related by Vilhjalmur Stefans son: "Now. it seems that In Kotsebue sound, where the Christian doctrines of the Colville people had originated, fish ing is by nets only. As fishing is prac tically the only work done there the missionary had probably said to them, Do not put out your fish nets on Sun day,' meaning thereby 'Do not work on Sunday.' However that may be. the prohibition came to our community In the form 'God has said you must not use fish nets on Sunday.' Accord ingly the entire community pulled their fish nets out of the river Satur day night fished with hooks all day Sunday and put the nets back into th water Monday morning."

There has been considerable warn ing given by prominent persons and government officials who have made a Study of the SUDDlv and ripmnnrl nf the meat question in th's country un- ucr me ueuei mat we were lacing a fchortage in the supply to meet the de mand. . . - That owing to the rapid increase of the population and the decrease of the meat producing animals of the United States, were approaching a very crit ical period. -' Furthermore the fencing up the free range on government lands, compell ing the ranch men to reduce or sell off their entire herds of cattle with the increase of tho population is like a two-edged sword on the meat question cutting down the supply and increas ing tne demand. This necessitates the farmer in mak ing a greater effort to build up his soil to grow the steer and to enlarge hia herds of swine. The hog has the advantage in many way of proving himself the key to the meat supply. He annually increases from 500 to a possible 1500 per cent; whereas the steer and sheep are from 60 to a possible 80 per cent. While the hog is ready for market in six or eight months, the steer requires two years. The hog again is a gleaner and saver by using the by-products of the creamery, of the beet factory and of the 'wflRtP frnm f ha tollln Imnwn a " " vu vuw VUftS,. iuiu is tto garbage m cities. No other animal will gather the mast or glean the grain in the fields or the fallen fruit of the orchard. Again he will make twice the num ber of pounds of meat from a bushel of corn or grain that the steer will. This is starting up a fresh impetus from the country for hog growing. The South, the West and the Northwest . are taking from the corn and hog belt and producing pork in many instances much cheaper than it can be made in the corn states. Again we see that the cities all over the country aro establishing for the feeding of gar bage which is gathered up, assorted, cooked and fed, maintaining large numbers of hogs from what has here tofore been very largely waste. The experts of the Department of Agriculture are studying the situation an1 finHavniin(r t orof t, ttrtm of the trouble and suggest the remedy. They have just issued a bulletin ad vocating increased hog production ofl the irrigated farms of the West, that pork production be made an adjunct to the creamery wherever conditions permit. They state that the irrigation farmers have a splendid opportunity for the profitable production of pork of the high quality. Pigs, they state, can be raised at a minimum cost on alfalfa and then be finished on grain such as barley and peas. A brood sow can be wintered on alfalfa hay and a few sugar beets daily without corn. They also are favoring the "Boys' Pig Clubs' and "Corn Clubs" that have hppn fnrmorl in thA Sniiih nro-'j n JoH w the Department of Agriculture both state and general government In old countries where the popula tion is dense the mass of the people are deprived of meat. They have to take into consideration that it takes from three to six pounds of grain to make one pound of meat that the lab oring people especially are compelled to use the grain as human food rather than having it transformed into a more concentrated- form at an expense or loss in quantity; In other words there is more food for the human in eating the greater pounds of grain than in the lesser pounds of meat. For this cause it brings the hog into the forefront as the meat key for the mass of people because of his econom ical nature and because of his prolif icacy in production and quickness of. development and because he is the greatest uroducer of meat from Dounds of grain than can be found in the ani mal kingdom. Again it requires perhaps less cost in housing him and handling him for the quantity of meat produced by him than any other animal. He is therefor not only the key but a bunch of keys to keep the meat situation unlocked and furnished. American Swineherd.
