The Pilgrims signed their simple and majestc covenant a full century and a half before, and set aflame their beacon of liberty on the coast of Massachusetts. Other pioneers of uew world freedom were rearing their new standards of lib erty from Jamestown and Plymouth for five generations before Lexing ton end Concord heralded a new era. , "It was all American In the des tined result, yet all of It lacked the soul of nationality. In simple truth, there was no thonght of nationality in the revolution for American inde pendence. The colonists were re sisting a wrong, and freedom was their solace. Once it was achieved. nationality; wast the only agency suited to its preservation. "Americanism really began when. robed In. nationality, the American Republic began the biased trail or representative popular government. Representative democracy was pro claimed the safe agency of highest human freedom. America headed the forward procession ot civil, hu man and religious liberty, which ul timately will effect the liberation of all mankind.

Meat forma uric acid which overworks the kidneys in their effort to niter it from the blood and they become sort of paralysed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and ciog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; removing all the body's urinous waste, else you have backache, sich headache, dluy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated, 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 seek relief two or three times during the night.
