Take Salts to Flush Kidneys and
Help Neutralize IrrI*
tating Acids
Kidney and bladder Irritations often
result from acidity, says a noted au¬
thority. The kidneys help filter this
acid from the blood and pass it on to
the bladder, where it may remain to
irritate and inflame, causing a burn¬
ing, scalding sensation, or setting up
an irritation at the neck of the blad¬
der, obliging you to seek relief two
or three times during the night. The
sufferer is in constant dread; the wa¬
ter passes sometimes with a scalding
sensation and is very profuse; again,
there is difficulty In voiding It.
Bladder weakness, tnost folks call
it because they can’t control urina¬
tion. While it Is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this Is
often one of the most simple ailments
to overcome. Begin drinking lots of
soft water, also get about four
ounces of .Tad Salts from your phar¬
macist and take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast. Con¬
tinue this for two or three days. This
will help neutralize the acids in the
system so they no longer are a source
of Irritation to the bladder and uri¬
nary organs, which then act normal
again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, and is
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with llthia, and
Is used by thousands of folks who are
subject to urinary disorders caused
by acid Irritation. Jad Salts causes
no bad effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, efferves¬
cent lithla-water drink which may
quickly relieve your bladder irritation.

^■KHERE Iron rails was and the usual burr grinding and of
a pres¬
sure on the ears, as a long train,
Inbound from Boston, entered the tun¬
nel and made its way to the great
terminal at Thirty-third street. As Is
always the case immediately before or
after Christmas, the cars were crowd¬
ed with persons going to their homes
or coming from some big holiday cele¬
bration and, as Is also the case at
such times, everyone was in good hu¬
mor.
As the door swung open and red
capped porters met the heavily loaded
travelers, there was the rush of a
great, sweeping crowd past Jack Del
mer, as he stood a moment waiting to
get his direction. He looked up. It
was but a moment he had paused. He
must go with the crowd—must follow
them. Soon he had traversed the long
platform, ascended a flight of stairs
to another train level, and found him¬
self seated again In a great steel
coach.
Passengers were coming on rapidly.
Men, women and children were In the
crowd. There were the well-do-do
(or apparently so) as well as the poor¬
ly clad. But In spite of class, or con¬
dition, or age, the holiday spirit was
still present with the crowd. But
for that spirit, of course, there might
have been friction and bickering and
dissension among the crowd.
A man with u sense of humor and
something of a tinge of irreverence
once remarked that God could under¬
stand men. He was sure of that.
But he doubted that He could under¬
stand a whole car full of them.
It was a motley crowd, It is true.
One wondered, naturally, whence they
came and.whither they were going.
At last, the car was about full. It
was but one minute to starting time.
The sound of the testing of air brakes
was heard. Conductors, brukemen and
porters stood ready when the signal
was given, to come abourd, close the
vestibule doors and take their places.
Just as the words “all aboard” were
heard along the line, a young woman
entered the car. She had raced for
the train and was out of breath. She
was not flustered or perturbed, how¬
ever. She stood in the aisle when
the train started and looked toward
the rear. Jack wondered where she
would gravitate.
Every seat in the car, save his, as
far as he could see, had its quota of
two. She had passed this.
Jack Instinctively said to himself;
“Wish she’d come here. I'd much
rather sit with a nice looking girl next
me than have some crude foreigner,
reeking with the smell of onions, as
n seatmute for the next three or four
hours.”
His intentions were good. He was
merely being honest with himself.
Suddenly the girl turned. A pair of
quick, bright brown eyes detected the
vacant seat, and the girl moved to¬
ward it. Jack's eyes were as quick
as hers. In a first glance he surveyed
the girl from head to foot. As she
seated herself calmly beside him, he
could have made an Inventory of most
of her wardrobe and belongings. He
didn’t miss tbe skating boots and
skates, and the flue hockey stick she
had with her. How could he! di¬
stinctively he sensed that the young
woman was the kind whose compan

tonship he could enjoy. He knew she
was a refined and an educated girl.
Refinement was written In every mo¬
tion of her body, and education and
understanding in ber features. She
loved pleasure. He could see that,
too. Hor natty sports costume told
that plainly.
The train rolled on. The tunnels
were passed. Suddenly Jack grew
more courageous and ventured:
"You've been having a good time, I
see.”
“I have. Indeed,” she replied; and
every intonation and inflection bespoks
the lady.
Perhaps Jack's appearance be¬
tokened a relatively high social traln
; iug. There was no fear or apprelien
t sion in her voice. “Just the loveliest
| | time,” she the continued, Hudson. “a And holiday what house could
party on
1 have been more fun!”
Jack learned then of the skating,
skiing, tobogganing and a score of

other winter-time pleasures which th
girl had enjoyed.
“She has had a good time, I should
say," he thought to himself, after an¬
other look in which he studied hei
carefully, almost analytically, “and
she has helped to gtve a good time,
too, I’ll warrant.”
The train sped on. Conversation
lagged, and both dozed. Cinders rat¬
tled down upon the car roof with tha
patter of a brisk April shower.
Suddenly the girl turned toward
Jack with a startled expression upon
her face and the query: “Is it rain¬
ing T
Jack peered through the dirty pane.
He could not determine. “I believe
not,” he replied.
The train sped on. Conversation
became easier between the two. They
felt as If they could be friends, If
they were not already. The girl spoke
more freely and fluently than the
man. But then—it’s a habit women
have. When there’s anything at all
to talk about they will relate it in an
Interesting way—when there Isn’t they
can talk about that, too. They have
the genius! Anyway, she rattled along,
her eyes lighting up with Interest. She
had had a good time. Jack knew by
the Incidents she related and the ray
of pleasure In her voice as she spoke.
“I was expected home In Philadel¬
phia,” she said, “on the train leaving
New York at six o’clock. Father and
Brother were to meet me. Perhaps
they're still waiting!” she exclaimed.
I hope not.”
“She told of the good time she and
a large crowd of friends had enjoyed
on the snow-clad hills above Newburg,
of coasting parties, and skating, and
of dancee that followed. She ex¬
plained how, missing an earlier train,
she had run over to Brooklyn to vleflt

an aunt and uncle, and how, because
of this, she had missed still another
train.
Now she was troubled'. Could Fa¬
ther and Brother be'waiting yet—all
these long hours—at the station for
her? Her bosom heaved wltly a fegh.
“Would they scold her?" she won¬
dered. Of course, they must be an¬
noyed, but would they understand?
She feared they might not. She be¬
came restless. As the train neared
the station she became more so.
When the train slowed, preparatory
to making Its stop, she smiled at her
traveling companion, remarked some¬
thing about the monotony of a tire¬
some Journey being broken by her
meeting him, picked up her neat bun¬
dle of sporting paraphernalia, In¬
cluding her new hockey stick, and
passed out.
As she stood on the platform wait¬
ing for an elderly couple to prec-ode
her, she gave another look back to¬
wards Jack; their eyes met in a aort
of understanding, and she passed out
to the dimly lighted station platform.
*•••** *
“There,” he mused, “goes a flue girl,
and one I would like to know.” They
had not exchanged names or told any¬
thing Intimate about themselves. Pro¬
priety had prevented that, and Jack
fell sure—they both did, In fact—that
they would never again meet.
**•**••
It is a small world. Often In its rev¬
olutions the “spot" falls on the same
actors. One scarcely dare think, let
alone say: “I will never see him or
her again.” As soon say when you
cast your dice: “It will never fall
with a six up.” It will. You cannot
say where, but you know that It will
fall that way some time again.
Jack didn't know this then, but
months afterward, as guest at a house
party in the Poconos, he looked Into
a face that seemed very familiar. Si¬
multaneously there was a sign of rec¬
ognition and an expression of glad¬
ness.
We will not carry the story further.
The reader knows what happens un¬
der such circumstances, when ‘ youth
meets youth with a complete under¬
standing. There may be tiny differ¬
ences In expression, but the chief Inci¬
dents in the chapters are similar.
It was the outgrowth of a Christ¬
mas journey, but It brought to Jack
the beginning of one of his happiest
New Year’s.

GETTING RID OF
RATS AND MICE
Modern Housekeeper Tries
Plan of Extermination.
(Prepared by the Unlte4 States Department
of Agriculture.)
The modern housekeeper, of course,
no longer climbs shrieking on the
nearest chair if she happens to see a
thouse running across the floor; much
less does she Indulge In a fainting
spell. Instead, three questions are
likely to pop Into her head almost si¬
multaneously : “Now, how did that
creature get in here?” “What have I
left around to attract a mouse?” and
“How shall I get rid of him and all
his tribe?”
She begins by hunting for any pos¬
sible openings in the walls, around
baseboards, near water or heating
pipes, or in closets. She also casts her
eye about for traces of careless house¬
keeping—either her own or that of a
maid—crumbs scattered, food left un¬
covered, or in paper packages, starch
or waxovl paper exposed where mice
can gnaw It, or any other tidbits like¬
ly to appeal to their wide range of
tastes. She may be horrified to find
mice tracks on the pantry shelves. In

towels, upstairs in closets, in rugs
stored in the attic, although she has
up to this time never even suspected
there was a mouse in the entire house.
Rats, of course, leave similar indi¬
cations of their presence in gnawed
clothing, paper, food supplies. They
are to be feared not only because of
the damage they do, and the rapidity
with which their numbers increase,
but because they often carry and con¬
vey diseases, kill poultry, and other
animals, and sometimes bite viciously
when cornered or attack babies or
children while sleeping. Similar
j methods of control are used against
both rats and mice. The »limina
! tion of either pest from a whole com
| munrty is the end to be desired, bqt
! this can only be accomplished by the
; organized effort of all citizens. When
straight side draperies are easy tr
make and hang, and the fabric Is a
good quality washable marquisette.
Even though soot and dust settle,
their traces can be quickly washed
out and the curtains put up looking
as fresh as new.
Notice that the side draperies come
to the bottom of the “apron," or board
that finishes the window casing at the
bottom. Also the valance is about one
sixth as long as the draperies.
Harmonize With Furnishings.
These curtuins are also in harmony
with the other furnishings of the room.
Their lines reflect those of the simple
painted bookshelves topped with a pair
of plain brass candlesticks. The can¬
dles are soft yellow to match the dots
in the curtain fabric, and in other ac¬
cessories of the room.
people realize that rats alone cause
over $200,000,000 worth of damage a
year, and that this is totally unneces¬
sary waste, they are more willing to
take measures to get rid of this ex¬
pensive pest.
The individual housekeeper can at
least make a beginning by closing up
all openings through which rats and
mice are likely to get into the house.
Use a mixture of cement, sand, and
broken glass or crockery In such
holes. If you find any, or cover them
with a sheet of metal. If your house
has open studding in the walls from
cellar to attic, they will be used for
runways and passages to their nests
by these pests. The studding should
be closed. Buildings are frequently
made entirely rat-proof now, when
first constructed by the use of deep
cement foundations, but older build¬
ings must be protected as far as pos¬
sible by closing holes and runways.
If the traps do not eliminate the
pests, try poisoning with barium car¬
bonate, if poison can be used with
safety, where It will not be touched
by children, poultry, or pets. This
substance is an Inexpensive white
powder, both odorless and tasteless,
and baits containing It are readily
taken. The best way to spread poi¬
son is to mix It with a variety of foods
and try placing different ones about
on successive nights. Mix some with
such foods as hamburg steak, sausage,
fish, liver, bacon or cheese. Spread
some on slices of vegetables and
fruits, such as tomatoes, cucumbers,
muskmelons, apples; or mix It with
canned corn or squash, or pumpkin
seeds, mashed banana, boiled carrot,
or baked sweet potato. Mix another
lot with rolled oats, bread, cornmeal,
flour or cake, and with various table
scraps. Add water to the barium
carbonate when necessary to make the
bait soft, or sprinkle the powder over
the sliced baits, rubbing It into them
with a knife. Use about one part poi¬
son to four parts food.
One way to expose the bait Is to put
about a teaspoonful of each of several
kinds into different paper bags, twist
the tops, and drop them in places fre¬
quented by rats or mice. Another
way is to put the bait on small pieces
of cardboard. Do not use stale or
spoiled food as bait Uneaten baits
should be picked up the next day
and destroyed. Do not use baits over
again If not taken. Continue to dis¬
tribute baits until the rats and mice
seem to have disappeared. The baits
are usually carried into burrows or
behind protecting boxes or furniture
and eaten comfortably. The effect of
the poison Is gradual, and the rats
generally have time to return to their
burrows before they succumb.
Farmers’ Bulletin 1302 gives other
suggestions for rat control and. for
community co-operation in achieving
it. The United States Department
of Agriculture will be glad to send
you a copy.
Left-Over Hominy Grits
Left-over hominy grits may be cut
into slices and browned in butter or
other fat to make a most appetizing
dish good to serve at any meal. The
slices should be at least a half inch
thick, dipped in flonr, and fried a deli¬
cate brown on both sides. Have the
fat hot enough to form a brown crust
quickly on the grits before the inside
soaks up the fat. Also time the cook
mg so that the fried grits can be
served as soon as they are browned.

Well-nourished people usually es¬

the sign of a well-nourished person.
Muscle tone and the character of elim¬

ered. Departure from normal nour¬

by amount of food consumed. Habits
of sleep, exercise and mind as well as
regularity of meals and variety of
food are all important.
