Salta Before Eating Breakfast. ITrtc 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 Irritated, aud you may be obliged to seek relief 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 he a real sick person shortly. At first you feel a dull misery In the kidney region, you suffer from backache, sick headache, dizziness, stomach gets sour, tongue coated and you feel rheumatic twinges when the weather Is bad. Eat less meat, drink lots of water; also get from any pharmacist four ounces of Jad Halts; take a tablespoonful In a glass a of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous sails Is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with tlthla, and has been used for generations to clean clogged kidneys, also to neutralize the acids In urine, so It no longer ta a source of Irritation, thus e tiding bladder weakness. Jnd Halts Is inexpensive, cannot Injure; makes a delightful effervescent lltlila water drink which everyone should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active. Druggists here say they sell lots of Jad Halts to folks who believe In overcoming kidney trouble while It Is only trou ' hie. The Holthouse Drug company.

ONE WHO DESERVES TRIBUTE Stenographer, Hammering Out Dictated Paragraphs, Times Her Efficiency to Our Limitations. Who else knows us half so well? She has heard all that we have said and then made notes of it. She has read our incoming letters. She knows who pleads with us for help and what we do about It. Do we write frankly or evasively, she follows the straight hewed line or the curve of our deviousness. Are we courteous only to the powerful, or Is our treatment even to all who come seeking? The woman at our elbow, hammering out our paragraphs, is a clear eyed wltnesß. Over the telephone" voices drift in from the world, and the tone of each Is caught and judged before our presence Is acknowledged. She knows whether our friends are worthy. Is the home happy? She knows it. She notes all our tricks of person. Our good temper our clean speech, fly further than we guess. She Is familiar with the stale phrases we scatter over the thousand routine letters, and is gladdened when we light up the languid page with an unspoiled turn. She Is aware when we have tumbled out from a laden desk to a world’s series bail game. She, too, would enjoy a great player’s versatility, but Bhe wades through our debris till twilight. She could keep our tardy correspondence up to the minute, but she has to time her efficiency to our limitations. Never outpacing us, she is as loyal in the back ground as our shadow. — Collier’s Weekly. RELATIONSHIP WITH THE WILD Something Hard to Define, but All Lovers of Nature Will Have Knowledge of What It Means. The wild! What is that that it should so Impress the heart of man; that it should have lured me all the days of my life, like music, a solace and an enchantment? It is beautiful in its way, as in a very different way cultivation Is beautiful, but this alone does not explain Its Influence. There is a spirit of the wild, with which the spirit of man acknowledges a relationship as old as the race; and if the conditions of his evolution from primitive man have, in the course of ages, separated him farther and farther from that original affinity with nature an 1 made him a wanderer from the fatherland. that bond will never become wholly a thing of the past. It still haunts and will haunt —a dim, Inexplicable, subconscious memory of a long buried past. It Is natural, then that In the presence of any bit ol wild landscape, or a patch of virgin forest, some minds should experience with a thrill a half return to an original state—with a thrill, indeed. There is a wilderness motif heard In an Inner ear by these men, as Siegfried heard the Valhalla motif, it rules their stars, as might the wanderlust or the passion for music or art.— Prom “North and South,” by Stanton Davis Kirkham.

Lord North’s Witty Reply. When he was til his doctor asked him what he felt. “What I have noi felt for a long time,” said North; “my riba.” He was, Indeed, what used to be termed a man of full habit, and could make a Jest of It. In the house an angry opponent once railed at him as "that thing, a minister.” North rose unperturbed. “Well, to be sure," said he, patting his ample sides, “I am an unwieldy thing; the honorable member, therefore. when he called me a thing said what was true, aud 1 cannot be angry with him. But when he udded ‘that thing, a minister,’ he called me that thing of all things he himself wished most to be; and therefore 1 took It as a compliment.” In hieblind age he met an old antagonist who was similarly afflicted; "Ah. (’ol. Barre," said he, "1 am persuaded there are not two men living who would be more happy to see each other.” Well might Gibson say. “If they turned out Lord North tomorrow they would still leave him one of the best companions In the kingdom.” Eastern Fanaticism, A French statistician wrote to the vail of Aleppo and asked these four questions: “What are your Imports? What la the water supply? What it the birth rate? The death rate?" The vail replied: "It Is Impossible for any one to know the number of camels that kneel in the markets of Aleppo. The water supply is sufficient. No one ever died of thirst In Aleppo. The mind of Allah alone knows how many children shall be born in this vast city In any given time. As to the death rate, who would venture to ascertain this, tor U is revealed only to the angels of death who shall be taken and who shall be left. O son of tbe west, cease your Idle and pre sumptuous questionings, and know that things are not revealed to tbe children of men!’ Simple Remedies. For sick headache apply a hot-wa-ter bottle to head and one on stomach. This gtvea relief In a short time For tired and aching feet put two tablespoonfuls of salt in two quarts of hot water; when cool add two ta blespoons of alcohol or camphor. Let feet soak In thla for 15 minutes. This ta also good for sore throaL Dip compress In the warm raxlture and bind on tbroat. For burn*, use butter; It takes the fire out quickly. For cuts peroxide will stop bleeding. For colds take a cup of milk and add a level teaapoonfu! or red pepper; stir well and drink very quickly
