Most folkg forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels, get sluggish and clog
ged and need a flushing occasionally,
else we have backache and dull mis
ery in the kidney region, severe head
aches, rheumatic twinges, torpid liver,
acid stomach, sleeplessness and all
sorts of bladder disorders-
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney re
gion, get about four ounces of Jad

take a tablespoonful in a glass of wa
ter before breakfast for a few days
and your kidney will then act fine.

acid of grapes and lemon juice , com

Merence Between Thrift
and War Savings Stamps
In reply te tie qu stion of the dif
ference between a tlaift stamp and a
War Savings Stamp,! the man in the
bank who is posted) on such affairs
gives the following txplanation:
A thrift stamp is a 25-cent stamp
and you can buy them at the banks,
postoffice and several other places. Af
tor one has twenty (thrift stamps by
adding 17 eeus, they may be taken to
the bank aud exchanged for one War
Savings Stamp with a face value of $5,
due January 1, 1923. There you hava it
a thrift stamp is worth 25-ccnts while
a War Savings Stamp is worth $5.
Another thing to remember is that
the government will bash at any time
the War Savings Staiips on a ten days
notice. Heuco if a person becomes fi
nancially embarrassed but has an in
vestment in War Savings Stamps, they
are just as good as real cash.
On a basis of, July !l, 1918, the War
Savings Stamps hav a face value of
$4.17 and will increase in market value
one cent every month, as the ac
crued interest making the value of the
stamp $5 on June 1, 1923.
The interest figure a trifle more than
four per cent. Without taking into con
sideration the patriotic side of, th.9 pro
position, financial men figure that War
Savings Stamps are gilt edge invest
rneus with the added advantage that if
one becomes a trifle j short of money,
tlia government is ready to redeem them
on 10 days notice. j
Conditions -Favorable
For Large Prune Crop
Conditions are still favorable for the
prune crop, although rain this month
would materially help things. The crop
is growing fast and ,the sizes will av
erage much larger than last year. The
larger size is duo to the fact that the
trees blossomed earlier than usual this
year, giving th fruit a longer time to
develop.
Prune packers believe that the gov
ernment will take a certain percent of
the crop at an established price, but
that thc growers will be asked to place
a market value on the commercial crop.
Last year the season opened up on a
o amid h'i c,-nt basis and later was ad
vanced as high as 7 Gents. The Cali
fornia papers report that the general
opinion down that way is that the grow
er will be asked to name a fair price
basis. Anyhow, there is nothing doing
.except speculating as to what the price
will be as the federal authorities will
not permit of price naming of contracts
