Does your back ache with a dull, unceaaAnjrthrob, until it seems you just can't stand it any longer? Then look to your kidneys! Grip, colds and chills an mighty hard on the kidneys. They fill the blood with poisons and impurities that the kidneys must filter off.- The kidneys weaken under this rush of new work; become congested and inflamed. It's little wonder, then, that every cold leaves you with torturing backache, rheumatic pains, headaches, dizziness and annoying bladder irregularities. But don't worry! Simply realize that your kidneys arp overworked at such times and need assistance. Get a box of Oau'i Kidney PilU and give your weakened kidneys the help they need. Assist them, also, by drinking pnre water freely, eating lightly and getting plenty of fresh air and rest. Deu'i KMaay PilU have helped thousands and should help you.

'4; DIVIDED INTO FOUR GROUPS growth, and experienced gardeners prefer to plant their potatoes at a time when the weather and soil conditions are right rather than according to the phase of the moon. Experience has shown tliat the point of most importance is to have the land in first-class condition for planting, then proceed to plant aa soon as weather conditions permit. The dwarf or smooth varieties of English peas may be planted about tbe same time as Irish potatoes, or just as soon as the ground is dry enough to work In the early spring. Here again soil preparation is Important, and the ground should be made ftne and mellow before planting. Opinions differ as to the deptb to which the seed peas should be covered. Some authorities claim they should be covered as much as 4 inches, while others maintain that 2 or 3 inches is sufficient. Much will depend,. however, upon the character of the soil in which the crop is planted. •wn ma|i M.lfr «i0ka*! r at the Kent**y Dscby.

S0THER1 OPEN n .CHILD'S BOWELS WtW CALIFORNIA FI6 SYRUP Fit* V«gttablM That Will Wlth«£nd Frost; Second, Semi-Hardy Crops; Third, Those Easily Killed; Fourth, Heat-Loving Plants. Common garden crops are divided by the United States Department of Agriculture into four groups as regards the time of planting them in the open ground. Tbe first-group includes the vegetables that will withstand considerable frost and which may be planted two or three weeks before the dsnger of frost is past In the spring. The second group, or semi-hardy crops, may be planted a few days before, or about the time that the last killing frost Is likely to occur. The third group, those easily killed by frost, should not be planted until all danger of frost la over. The fourth group, the heat-loving plants, should never be planted in the open until both the soli and the air are thoroughly warm. Among the crops of the first group-- that may be planted before frosts are past--are Irish potatoes, smooth peas, onion sets, cabbage plants, kale, turnips, beets, lettuce, and mustard. They may be planted early because they require some time to come up. While the young plants are injured by frost, by the time they sprout and come to the surface, frost danger is likely to be past. Dont Follow Moon Rule. Some gardeners formerly believed In planting Irish potatoes and certain other garden crops according to the signs of the moon. No one seems to know how the old moon theory originated, but it seems to date back to prehistoric times and probably was based upon the method of keeping time by moons rather than by months. There is no definite experimental dats to show that the moon lias any influence one way Or the other upon planft or those that should not be planted If tlie soil Is a light sandy loam and Inclined to dry out quickly, the peas should be covered 3 to 4 inches. But if the soil is rather heavy and inclined to pack closely, they should not be covered more than 1 to 2 inches. The varieties of peas having wrinkled seed coots should not be planted until about fwo weeks after the smooth varieties. They are Just a little more susceptible to injury from frost and will mature about as early if planted when the ground has slightly warmed. When to Take Chances. In the case of certniivjjarden jrops, the investment in seed is too great for taking a chance with the weather, but with beets, lettuce, and radishes a very small quantity of seed Is required, and If they come through in good shape, the product will be ready for use much earlier than if the planting were delayed. About 25 or 30 feet of row will give all the early beets required by an ordinary family. Radishes may be planted in the rows with early peas. However, It will be necessary to remove the radishes before they begin to crowd the peas. As a rule, radishes will be ready for use in three or four weeks after planting, or Just about the time that the peas have begun to make a vigorous growth. Most gardeners make the mistake of planting too many radishes, or at least of planting too many at one time and not being able to use the product. The old-fashioned method of growing lettuce was to plant a bed along one side or in one corner of the garden, and when the plants were large enough, to thin them, using the product as needed and leaving the remainder to grow larger. This method of growing lettuce is not so desirable as the plan of planting it in rows, where it can be more easily cultivated. Lettuce Is very susceptible to heat, and It Is difficult to grow it after the weather has become hot. For this reason it is best grown ss a spring and a f^Jl crop. Two or three plantings at Intervals of 10 days or 2 weeks in spring and a. planting or two in antumn should be sufficient for the needs of the ordinary family. Planting Second Group. The second group, including cil*otS, beets, parsnips, radishes, salsify, wrinkled peas, spinach, swlss chard and early sweet corn, may be planted shortly before the probable time for the last spring frost. The planting of these crops should be so timed that they will escape frost and yet be started Just as early as possible. The third group of garden crops, until after danger of frost is past, includes cucumbers, muskmelons, okra, snap beans, cauliflower, and well hardened tomato plants. The time of setting tomato plants, however, will depend on local conditions. If they art not crowding each other too much In the plant bed, it may pay to delay setting them in the open ground until the air is thoroughly warmed. Little is gained by planting tender plants In the opeh ground too early. The fourth group of plants, commonly known as the heat-loving plants, Includes peppers, eggplant, Lima beans, sweet potatoes, and Bummer squash. These crops are easily injured by cold nights and periods of rainy weather, and it is always best to delay planting them until a safe period has been reached. It should be borne In mind that certain soils warm up slowly in spring, and that such plants as eggplant and peppers are susceptible to Injury from cold soils. little one will love the "tralty" t®ste of "California Fig Syrup" even llf constipated, bilious, irritable, fsverish^ or full of cold.
