THE
EAT LESS MEAT
IF BACK HURTS
HERMISTON
HERALD,
DDUDEN
Take a glass of Salts to flush
Kidneys if bladder bothers
you.
Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or another, says a well-known author­
ity, because the uric acid in meat ex-
cites the kidneys, they become over­
worked; get sluggish; clog up and
cause all sorts of distress, particularly
backache and misery in the kidney re­
gion; rheumatic twinges, severe head-
aches, acid stomach, constipation, tor­
pid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and
urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid­
neys aren’t acting right, or If bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of wa­
ter 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, com­
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush clogged kid­
neys and stimulate them to normal
activity; also to neutralize the acids
in the urine so it no longer irritates,
thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then to keep the
kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus
avoiding serious kidney disease.

Try Grandmother’s old Favorite
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.
Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound-
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streak­
ed or gray. Years ago the only way
to get this mixture was to make It at
home, which is mussy and trouble
some. Nowadays, by asking at any
drug store for "Wyeth’s Sage and Sul­
phur Compound." you will get a large
bottle of this famous old recipe. Im
proved by the addition of other in-
gredients, for about 50 cents.
Don’t stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap­
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.
Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Com­

for those who desire dark hair and a
youthful appearance. It is not intend-

Mr. STARR’S HEART SINKS
WHEN HE DISCOVERS
JERROLD HARMER AND
PRUDENCE EXCHANGING
TENDER GLANCES AND
SOFT WORDS
Mr. Starr, widower, Methodist
minister at Mount Mark, la., has
five charming daughters. Pru­
dence, the eldest, keeps house for
him. Fairy is a college freshman.
Carol and Lurk, twins, are in
high school. Constance is the
"baby.” The activities of the
girls—Prudence’s work, Fairy’s
school affairs, the youngsters’
pranks—and the family perplexi­
ties, make the story. It is simply
a recital of homely incidents
glorified by affection. The pre­
ceding installment described an
accident which Prudence suf­
fered during an early-morning bi­
cycle ride and her rescue by a
strange and fascinating young
man. -
CHAPTER IX—Continued.
He went upstairs to obey, with de­
spair in his heart. But to the girls,
there was nothing strange in this ex­
actness on the part of Prudence. Jer­
rold Harmer was the hero of the ro­
mance, and they must unite to do him
honor. He was probably a prince in
disguise. Jerrold Harmer was a per­
fectly thrilling name. It was really a
shame that America allows ro titles—
Lord Jerrold did sound so noble, and
Lady Prudence was very effective, too.
He and Prudence were married, and
had a family of four children, named
for the various Starrs, before one hour
had passed.
"I’ll begin my book right away,”
Lark was saying. She and Carol were
In the dining room madly polishing
their Sunday shoes, what time they
were not performing the marriage cer­
emony of their sister and the hero.
"Yes, do! But for goodness' sake,
don’t run her into a mule! Seems to
me even Prudence could have done bet­
ter than that.”
“I’ll have his automobile break down
In the middle of the road, and Pru­
dence can run into It. The carburetor
came off, and of course the car
wouldn't run an inch without it.”
“Yes, that's good,” said Carol ap­
provingly. “It must be a sixty-cylin-
der, eight horse power—er—tonneau
or something real big and costly.”
“Twins !
You won't be ready,”
warned Prudence, und this dire possi­
bility sent them flying upstairs in a
panic.
,
While the girls, bubbling over with
excitement, were dressing for the great
event, Mr. Starr went downstairs to
sit with Prudence. Carol called to him
on his way down, and he paused on
the staircase, looking up at her. .
“Lark and I are going to use some
of Fairy’s powder, father,” she said.
“We feel that we simply must on an
occasion like this. And for goodness'
sake, don't mention It before him I It
doesn’t happen very often, you know,
but today we simply must. Now. don't
you say anything about falling in the
flour barrel, or turning pale all of a
sudden, whatever else you do. We'd
be so mortified, father.”
Mr. Starr was concerned with
weightier matters, and went on down
to Prudence with never so much ss a
reproving shake of the head for the
worldly-minded young twins.
"Father,” began Prudence, her eyes
on the lace coverlet, “do you think It
would be all right for me to wear that
silk dressing gown of mother's? I
need something over my nightgown,
and my old flannel kimono is so ugly.
You know, mother said I was to have
it, and—I’m twenty now. Do you think
it would be all right? But if you do
not want me to wear It—”
"I do want you to,” was the prompt
reply. “Yes, it is quite time you were
wearing it. I’ll get It out of the trunk
myself, and send Fairy down to help
you.” Then as he turned toward the
door, he asked carelessly, “Is he very
good-looking. Prudence?”
And Prudence, with a crimson face,
answered quickly, “Oh. I really didn’t
notice, father."
He went on upstairs then, and pres­
ently Fairy came down with the dainty
silk gown trimmed with fine soft lace.
"I brought my lavender ribbon for your
hair. Prudence.
It will match the
gown so nicely. Oh. you do look sweet,
dearest. I pity Jerrold Harmer. I can
tell you that. Now I must hurry and
finish my own dressing."
Rut with her foot on the bottom
stair, she paused. Her sister was call­
ing after her. "Send father down here,
quick. Fairy."
Father ran down quickly, and Pru-
dence, catching hold of his hands,
whispered wretchedly. "Oh. father, be
—he is good-looking. 1—I did notice
it I didn’t really mean to Ue to you.”
‘There, now, Prudence,” he said,
kissing her tenderly, “you mustn't get
excited again. I'm afraid you are too
nervous to have callers. You must lie
very quietly until he comes. That was
no Ue, child. You are so upset you do
not know what you are saying today.
Be quiet now, Prudence, it’s nearly
time for him to come.”
“You are a dear good father,” she
cried, kissing bls hands passionately,
"but it was a lie. I did know what I
was saying. I did it. on purpose." ’
And Mr. Starr’s heart was heavy, for
he knew that his fears were realized.
CHAPTER X.
Roused From Her Slumber.
At twenty minutes to four, the par­
sonage family clustered excitedly in
the sitting room, which the sunshine
flooded cheerily. They were waiting
for the hero of Prudence’s romance.
“Oh, Larkle, will you run upstairs
and bring my lace handkerchief?
Would you keep these pearls on.
Fairy, or would you take them off?”
“I would keep them on, Prue. You
do look so sweet, but your face is very
flushed. I am afraid you are feverish.
Maybe we had better not let him see
Prue today, father.”
“Fairy !” exclaimed Prudence. “Lis­
ten, listen, girls ! Look, Fairy, and see
if that Is be! Yes, It is, I know—I
can tell by his walk.’’ Warm rich
color dyed her face and thront, and
she clasped her hands over her heart,
wondering If Connie beside her could
hear its tumult.
“I’ll go to the door,” said Father
Starr, and Prudence looked at him
beseechingly.
“I—I am sure he Is all right, father.
I—you will be nice to him, won’t you?"
Without answering, Mr. Starr left
the room. He could not trust his voice.
“Listen, girls, I want to hear,” whis­
pered Prudence. And she smiled as
she heard her father’s cordial voice.
"You are Mr. Harmer, aren’t you?
I am Prudence's father. Come right
in. The whole family is assembled to
do you honor. The girls have already
made you a prince in disguise. Come
back this way. Prudence is resting
very nicely.”
When the two men stepped Into the
sitting room. Prudence, for once, quite
overlooked her father. She lifted her
eyes to Jerrold Harmer’s face, and
waited, breathless. Nor was he long
in finding her among the bevy of girls.
He walked at once to the bed, and
took her hand.
"My little comrade of the road,” he
said gayly, but with tenderness. “I’m
afraid you are not feeling well enough
for callers today.”
"Oh, yes, I am,” protested Prudence
with strange shyness.
He turned to the other girls, and
greeted them easily. He was entirely
self-possessed. “Miss Starr told me so
much about you that I know you all to
begin with.” He smiled at Fairy as
he added, "In fact, she predicted that
I am to fall In love with you. And so,
very likely, I should. If I hadn't met
your sister first.”
They all laughed at that, and then
he walked back and stood by Prudence
once more. “Was it a bad sprain?
Does it pain you very badly? You
look tired. I am afraid it was an im­
position for me to come this after-
noon."
“Oh, don’t worry about that,” put in
Connie anxiously. “She wanted you
to come. She's been getting us ready
ior you ever since the doctor left. I
think It was kind of silly for me to
wear my blue just for one caller.”
The twins glared at her, realizing
that she was discrediting the parson­
age, but Jerrold Harmer laughed, and
Prudence joined him.
"It Is quite true,” she admitted
frankly. ‘The mule and I disgraced
the parsonage this morning, and I
wanted the rest of you tn redeem it
this afternoon.” She looked at him
Inquiringly. “Then you had another
coat?”
"No, I didn't I saw this one in a
window this morning, and couldn't re­
sist it Was the ride very hard on
your ankle?”
Mr. Starr was puzzled. Evidently it
was not lack of funds which brought
this man on foot from Des Moines to
Mount Mark, half-way across the
state! He did not look like a man
fleeing from justice. What, then, was
the explanation?
“You must have found It rather a
long walk.” he began tentatively, his
eyes on the young man’s face.
"Yes. I think my feet are a little
blistered. I have walked farther than
that many times, but I am out of prac­
tice now. Sometimes, however, walk­
ing is a painful necessity.”
"How long did it take you coming
from Des Moines to Mount Mark?" in-
quired Carol in a subdued and respect­
ful voice, and curious, withal.
“From Des Moines," he gasped.
"Good heavens! I did not walk from
Des Moines! Did you—" He turned
to Prudence questioningly. "Did you

“Yea." And added hastily. "But I

make any difference how you came."
HERMISTON,
OREGON.
For a moment he was puzzled. Then
be burst out laughing. “I am afraid
we had too much to talk about this
morning. I thought I had explained
my situation, but evidently I did not
I drove from Des Moines in the car,
and—”
“The automobile,” gasped Carol,
with a triumphant look at Lark.
“Yea, just so. I stopped at several
places on business as I came through.
I drove from Burlington this morning,
but I got off the road. The car broke
down on me, and I couldn't fix it—
broke an axle. So I had to walk in.
That is what I was seeing about to-
day, sending a man out for the car
and arranging about the repairs." He
smiled again. “What in the world did
you think I would walk from Des
Moines for?” he asked Prudence, more
inquisitive than grammatical.
"I did not think anything about it
until they asked, and—I did not know
about the car. You did not mention
it."
“No. I remember now. We were
talking of other things all the time.”
He turned frankly to Mr. Starr. “Per­
haps you have beard of the Harmer
Automobile company of Des Moines.
My father was Harvey Harmer. Two
years ago, when I was running around
in Europe, he died. It was his desire
thnt I should personally take charge
of the business. So I hurried home,
and have had charge of the company
since then. We are establishing sales
agencies here, and in Burlington, and
several other towns. I came out for
a little trip, and took advantage of the
opportunity to discuss the business
with our new men.
That’s what
brought me to Mount Mark.”
For the first time in her life, Pru­
dence distinctly triumphed over her
father. She flashed him the glance of
u conqueror, and he nodded, under-
standingly. He liked Jerrold Harmer,
as much as he could like any man who
stepped seriously into the life of Pru­
dence. He was glad that things were
well. But—they would excuse him, he
must look after his Sunday’s sermons.
A little later the twins and Connie
grew restless, and finally Connie blurt­
ed out, “Say, Prue, don’t you think
we’ve upheld the parsonage long
enough? I want to get some fresh
air.”
The twins would never have
been guilty of such social indiscretion

Before Breakfast
a Splendid Habit
Open sluices of the system each

poisonous, stagnant matter.
Those of us who are accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when we arise;
splitting headache, stuffy from a cold,
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom­
ach, lame back, can, instead, both look
and feel as fresh as a daisy always by
washing the poisons and toxins from
the body with phosphated hot water
each morning.
We should drink, before breakfast, a

neys and ten yards of bowels the pre­
vious day’s indigestible waste, sour
bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleans­
ing, sweetening and purifying the en­
tire alimentary tract before putting
more food into the stomach.
The action of limestone phosphate
and hot water on an empty stomach
is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans
out all the sour fermentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast and it
is said to be but a little while until
the roses begin to appear in the
cheeks. A quarter pound of limestone
phosphate will cost very little at the
drug store, but is sufficient to make
anyone who is bothered with bilious-
ness, constipation, stomach trouble or
rheumatism a real enthusiast on the
subject of internal sanitation. Try it
and you are assured that you will look
