E!G EATERS HAVE BAD KIDNEYS AND BACKACHE Take a Class of Salts at Or.ce If Your Eick Is Hurting or Kidneys anH Biadder Trouble You. The American men and women must guard constantly against Kidney trou ble, because we eat too much and all our food is rich. Our blood is filled -with uric acid which the kidneys strive to flier out, they weaken from overwork, become sluggish; the elirni naiive tissues clog and the result is kidney trouble, bladder weakness and a general decline in health. When your kidneys feel like lunrni of lead ; year back hurts or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment or you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night; if you suffer with : i':k headache or dizzy, nervous si - He, add stomach, or you have rheu matism, when thj weather is bad, get from :vr pbarmaeiet about four '.. of Jad Salts; take a table e; .'til in a class c water before tie ,e.e t for a f..r,v dsys cud your kid neys v.-id then act fine.

'.- j.- Confessions gf a Mailorder Man By- Mr. M. O. X. Rev-lations by One Whose Experience in the 1 ''.i-ii.TC-.s Covers a Rd.iije From Oilioe IJ' to Geaeral Manager HOW I VOSKCD THE CMED1T SYSTEM. U was always my euetom to state in the cUaiegae in several places -"money cheerfully refunded." If you are dissatisfied, how many limes do you get your money back? Dm. you ever get it back promptly ard without a struggle? This is my game to pretend that your money will be returned in case yea are, not pleased with your pur chase and then, if you do send in a good hot kick yen wiil get a letter back asking you to select something ohu from the catalogue. You .will be tired out with letters and sug gestions as to what you should take instead of the article you kicked on until you finally decide to save any meee trouble and take something else, some-thing you didn't want at all. Hut 1 suppose that really the great est joke of all is played on the peo I 'e in tie small towns' by my so caiied "m,edit"''t?ystem. I send you a catalogue and iu-vh- you to buy anything you want an 1 to take your own time to pay fur it. The literature 1 send out leads cu to telieve that 1 do not care for money nt all. 1 try to make you be lieve that j on are a great friend of my concern, that you are entitled to great coils-deration, that your wants shall be supplied with the greatest possible care and that ycu are reliable and entitled to credit. "I will not make any inquiries con cerning 3 our ciebk," i.aj s my litera ture. "No r-eestiens will be asked of your neighbors," : s another paragraph. "Your neighbors and friends will never know that you are dealing with us on credit," says still another sec tion of my letter. Hut I most certainly do inquire about you. For instance: I had an outside concern that is a concern running under another name and with a separate address from the main store. This address was the home cf my credit manager or the of fice cf my "collection lawyer." "When ycu write in for credit this is the way 1 do it. I have you sign, first of all, a' paper which is a part of the order blank and is really a legal contract, giving me power and author ity to come into your home and tako out, not only the things you have pur chased on credit from me but also i everything else. When you sign an or '. der for foods on credit you unwitting I ly sign a (liaib l mortgage on your ': ktfuschchl property. Then, after this j paper is in my possession I can swoop : down on ycu and drag out every stick of furniture you have in the place and sell it at auction to pay the amount still due. If a bookkeeper makes an cnor in f gur es. if some clerk steals a remit tance from you, sent in to ap.eiy on your account, you have absolit.ly u chance to object. It is the law. Now, when you send in your order and application for credit, you must send, also for such is my rule an order ard the amount specified as the first payment. You expect to get the goods right av ay but no, there are cer tain tnings to be done before I ship the good:?. I have your money, so you must wait. Then my credit man fends a letter, written on the "fake" letterhead of my outside concern, to some of your neigh bors, asking them if your character is good, if you are in the balet of paying your bills, if your morale, are good, how much you earn a week, etc. Your order is held until answers are re ceived from those of your neighbors to whom the letters of inquiry were sent. Then if the answers have bean satisfactory, you are sent a contract to be signed by you and you must wait until this has been received by my credit department. Then the goods are shippe'h. And the awful prices goodness gracious what prices charged for the very cheapest and most unreliable class of ! goods. My policy is to set a price, the i first payment of which pays for the I actual cost of the goods. Then all th rest is "velvet." All of the future paj i ments are profit to my house. You ! really pay for the goods, the actual i value, when you send in the first pay- ment. I won't lose anything if you : never send in another cent. I Dut think of 'it you must keep ; sending in money to meet the other : payment?! Tor perhaps two years e. i much each month. Any time yo i fail ' to meet a monthly payment I send the papers to a leeel lawyer and be can ' u e-1 possession of your household goods and sell them on the street. : ome of the goods 1 send you ; ut.; not worth hauling to the cars. 1 ! re. . rrhor one lot of parlor furniture ih ;t bad a lot of da ma res, one of vb ' -, v , e a broken letr cut the divan.

Another strict rule is that you must make your complaints within a cer tain period of time after you have re ceived the goods. No matter what was sent you, if you do not make a eomplnfht according to the rules - I have laid down, it is all off. You Lave no red re-"". You must keep whatever was sent to you. I spend a big part of my expenses In the hiring of collectors and in the maintaining of a credit and collection dee : a. meat. Your name is kept ui a caul index system. A girl has chaigo of a certain mm;.' r f . ards." tli-o works this list evciy s; of. en. If you are slow pay, and keep on being slow, your c ird is taken out and placed in another list and if you keep on rot paying, your card is finally placed in the list handled by the house lawyer, who comes after you with all sorts of threats. If you persist in not paying, than there are two things to do. I vift sr.u the account to a Dee! lawyer and im will come to your house and demand the payment. But if it is a small ac count I will not send it for collection but will continue to send you dun no tices for months afterward. Feme times I sold these small accounts to "shyster" lawyers for a small percent age and they collect whatever they can. They will even follow a eon or a tlaiiEhter with the unpaid bills of par .cuts. And the stuff you get from r. isn't worth having. It is t'-n? cheapest 'sir.:? imaginable. If it is clothing it won't wear well and will come to pieces the first t'me yen wear it out in the loan. If it is furniture it will brook if a heavy person sits down on it and if t:'s i a! .!-. a: if is im dependable ami v ill never beep sharp and it probably has a flaw in it so that it will break at the fret strain. It's net worth buy'ne in the first place and it isn't worth having alter you have bought it. Dmbt order it in the first place. Buy from your local dealer, who at least will listen to your ccmphvhiU and replace any article not up to standard. He keeps a more de pendable stock cf stuff than I do. You can rely on biai, to 5. He can't run away or seek refuge behind letters and mS. Yes, it's tbo best thing to buy what you mod of your merchant in youi own home town. Do is entitled to receive your business ami he keeps a plae hi win Ii a,o can tind what you require. The various articles illustrated in my catalogues look good in the pic tures, they are made that way to 'fool you. They aro misrepresented in the written descriptions and they aro manufactured so as to cheat ycu in every possible manner. You will get better value in the store of your own merchant. Think of this when yon next require something. Try him cut, aek him if he has it or if be hasn't get it in stock if he can't order it for you. lie will be glad to do so. J0UHNEY1MG3 OF HOUSE FLY Kouceho'd Fe.s, It Is Found, Seldom Travel Far From the u -;d:'r.-j Ground. Dr. J. T. Nash, an English physi cian, who has devoted much attention to the spread of disease by flies, finds that the common bouse fly does not readily leave a house in which it finds protection, warmth a id food. Such houses situated neat places where flies breed where garbage is depos ited, or refuse from stables is kept un duly long suffer from a plague of flies not found in houses in the next street farther away. These nearer houses effect a consid erable arrestment of the spread of flies. In thess infested houses, al though fly-paper may bill hundreds, just as many the.; are found 21 hours later if the windows are left open and the weather is warm. When fdes are numerous, they de crease in numbers in different houses, in inverse ratio to the distance from the breeding grounds. Flies ily far ther when places of arrestment, in the shape of houses, are few or far off. Yi'bero houses aro few, more flies v. ill be found than w here hom es are many. Where louses are numerous, few fics wiil travel more than a quarter cf a mile. One's Weakest' Point.

The most sumptuous copy of Shake speare's "Romeo and Juliet" in exist ence was recently sent from England to a purchaser abroad. The value of the book is between ?7000 ami $7,500. It has been reproduced as an illu minated manuscript on vellum, and the volume is notable as being the entire work of one artist, Alberto Sangorski, who was engaged upon it for IS months. The title is in pearls set in gold, and the 'cover is embel lished with 214 rubies and ihJ ame thysts. sage tea and sulphur . car?:ens your gray hair Look Years Younger! Try Grandma's Recipe of Sage and Sulphur and Nobody Will Know. Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur properly compound ed, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair'when faded, streaked or gray; also ends dandruff, itching scalp and stops falling hair. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sul phur Hair Remedy." You will get a large bottle for about 50 cents. Every body uses this old, famous recipe, be cause no one can possiliy tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it to naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking ono small strand at a time; by morn ing the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy and you look years younger.
