When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney région, it. generally means you have been eating too mueh meat, says a well- Known authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become s-rt paralyzed and 1oggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; removing all therbody's urinous waste, else you have back- ache, sick headache, dizzy spells; ur stomach sours, tongue is coat- , and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you aro. obliged to seek relief two er three times duriag the night. ~ Either consult a good, reliable physician at once or get from your rmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablaspoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few. days and your kidneys will then act ne, This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon . nice; combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending blad- der weakness.

In Canada the two foremgst instances of this pleasant blend Joseph Howe and T. €: Halibu . Ome eaumot imagine 'Robert - Baldwin celebrating the triumph of nsible 'govern: went in: verse, as did Howe, or Sir Jolin Macdonald, for all hs wit and love of letters, writing » novel to show up the weakness of 'un- checked democracy; as did the toty leader in 'Nova . Scotia; In: Ontario Sir George is our best, example, and he es high praise #s" a statesman, who through a tong and arduous political career has 'steadily vefused to" forsake letters' and to become absorbed in the mere playing of the game, . His present work is not so much u history of the senate as u discussion in the Tight of history of the mun: der in which it came into being, of its powers and its duties: This leads Sir George to a discussion of the proper method of amapding the B.N. A. Act. On this he holds that the Act is a compact between the pro- vinces, only to be set aside by the unanimous cofisent of the powers which entered into it.' If any one province vbjects to any change 'im the Act, that change casnot be made, Of these provincial rights the senate is the guardian. It thus, in' resist: ing any change in its" present vom: stitution, is really fulfilling the nob- Jor task of defending the rights of the provi and the sanctity of | contract. : v i To this theory there are serious ob- stacles, both coustitutional and prac- tical. Does the theory of the com- pact apply only to the four or inal provinces ? Ur does it include rit- ish Columbia and Prince Edward Is- land, which came in later? Or will Sir George extend it to the provinces | which are the creation of the dowin- lion? Even ii he does, will he serious- {lv maintain that by the compact { there has not been created a nation, { of which the national rights and obli- ! gations must prevail 7 The B.N.A. act was a very wonderful bit of work, {all things considered. But it was avowedly a compromise, based on rivalries which have im some cases lost their vitality and on condition now in great measure changed. Since its passage, the whole economic strue- 'ture of Canada has altered. Is this 'obsolescent relic to be permanently foisted on us as long as some back- ward province shall demand ? Must Canada, like certain trades unions, allow the glowest to set the pace? Sir George's defence of the imparti- ality of the senate is not convincing. He proves by statistics that whether the senate is of the same political stripe as the lower house, or of 'an- other, it throws out about the same percentage of , bills. 1; But «he passes fiahtly over the character of tlie bills rejected, angl the 'reasons for reject- ing thew. Bie senate had the fullest constitutiogal (right to reject. the na- val aid Lill last session; proof of this is superfluous; a senate which nftrely echoed the: lower house wight as well disband; but it is 8 serious criticism of the senate that-jun the discussion of the naval afd bill the speaking and voting followed party lines and party exigencies as excluiugly, a8 they did in the lower house. true 'criticism of the senate is not that it has defied the popular will, but-that it did so in the interests of a party and at the bidding of a party leader. : An interesting: table given by Sir George shows that at present wore than half of the members of the sen ate ave over seventy years of age. Another list gives : the members ap- intéd since co tion: - The two ists prove that the chief characteris- tics of the seoate are longevity and mediocrity. Sir George's book is well and clear- ly written, as one would expect from so practiced a hand.

The Williamsons, who have spent considerable time and money studying their subject at first hand, can always be depended upon to give] their readers a full measure of ad- vertvre and love-making. "It Hap- pened in Egypt" is the outcome of last winter spent in Egypt. The story bégins on the Laconia between New. York and Naples. Ther come Alexandria, Cairo, Assiut, Luxor, Gizeh, Khartoum-----all the placer that everyone visits and many that few visit, It includes the ex- ploration of "The Mountain of the Golden Pyramid," where the mummy of an Egyptian queen held a King's ransom between her hands. But the story Is unique among talds of treas- ure-trove, for when the litfle partly had reached the goal of their search they left the gold untouched, feeling tint it would be sacrilege to take it. That was Monny* Gilder's feeling, and her will generally carried the day. There are plenty of lovers in thir book, and their sight-seeing to- gether in one party leads to many a fuany and many a troublesome ingi- dent. Monny is an American heir- ess, winning in manner but impa- ttent of restraint, who is attracted by o British officer who, in disguise, is carrying on 4 secret and danger- ous mission for his country. Then their is Lord Ernest Borrow, known a3 the Duffer, who fills many a qQif- { fult position with satisfaction to everybody, himself ineluded. Inci- dentally we are privileged to see how cleverly the intrepid Britisher efiects the rescue of an American gnl, who had soon come to regret her hasty tharriage to a much-mar- ried Turk. - The 'descriptive work throughout the book .is admirable. Many excel- lent passages will delight and en- thrall the reader. To quote just one, and that not the best by any means: "The stars spoke walked, soft-footed, through the sand; and the pure wind of the desert spoke other words of the same language, the language of the Unis verse and of Nature. Here and there yellow lights in a distant camp flash- ed out like fireflies; far away across the billowing sands, rocks bleached like bone gave an effect of surf on an unseen shore; now and then a sHent, swilt-moving Arab stealing out of shadow, might have been the white Woman _who haunts the Sphinx, Hurrying to a fatal tryst; and the Great Pyramid seemed to float' between desert and sand and cloudless sky like the golden palace of Aladdin being transported through air by the Geni of the Lamp.

Uglow & Co., city, We are informed by the title page that this is "a mystery story." But it is more---it Is a gruesome story, an awful story--a story that might prostrate a nervous woman or give a strong man the jim-jams. Mrs. Rinehart, who is a favorite maker of stage farce and suspicion steries, can 'usually be depended upon to in- trodauce plenty of dime-novel sensa- tiens. In this particular instance she has excelled even herself, and, to use the vernacular, "that is going some."" She deals in murders-- three lovely brutal ones--and grisly teriors, in a wholesale way. It is net an amusing story at all, dear no! You wen't laugh: you'll shiver, and hastily glance over your shoulder pow and then, as you read, to make sure this mysterious murderer of hors is not after you, too. And to think that it all started off 50 peaceful like! A jolly party en a charming private yacht embark on a pleasure trip tothe tropics, partly to eure the dipsomaniac owner of the drink habit.

IDONIA 3) Arthur F. Wallis. Goodchild, Toronto, 319 pages. Price, Uglow & Co., city. i "ldonia--a Romance of Old Lon- don" is by a new English futhor who "gives promise of becarding a favorite. He has achieved some- thing remarkably good in his por- trayal of the conditions and fascina- tions of London in the stirring days of Queen Elizabeth. One irecog- nize: that the past has been ;resur- rected most faithfully, and that the period of which he writes has been treated very distinctively. The re- production of the speech and dtmos- phere of the Elizabethan periad, the Slowing pietures of life in the six- teenth century, the clever ploi, the charming and restrained love story, ail tend to remind one of "Lorna Doone" and "The Broad Highway." "Idonia™ is an unusually well-writ- ten story. If Arthur Wallis never writes anything else, we predict' that this book alone will make his vepu: tation secure. Denis Cleve, the hera, a callow, West Country youth, possessed, how- ever, of a certain stubborn grit, comes to London with £500 of his father's money.to provide the means for a fair trial of his uncle, who has beer apprehended for treasonable practises. How the here's quest pioved a mare's nest and plunged him into a vortex of rascality in which his uncle was the biggest ras- cal of them all, and how he mef the fair Idonia and rescued her from the toils in which he found her, it would be unfair to fhe reader to tell hére. Suffice it to say that the love story of Denis and this beautiful high- spirited girl is cleverly woven inte & narrative full of adventure. Eventu- Ally the happy pair are married, ahd the story 'ends in some beautifully vritten pages, . with the .death of Denis' father. The day on whigh he died he sits chatting with them, watching the ships whieh were to scatter the Armada passing up thé channel, and his last words include this fine motto for Englishmen: "In what estate soever we be found, we be neither angry nor afraid."

Price, Uglow & Co., city. i In a preface to this book the auti- or explains that these'short stories were entitled "Loot" because what: ever the volume may bring in hard cash must be regarded as lopt. This engaging frankness is commendable and refreshing, and, after reading these delightful storiettes, we feel like wishing that considerable "loot" may fall to the author. stories are not generally recognized as a serious contribution to litera- ture, yet Kipling and many another noted author have used them 'to good 'advantage. Those comprising this book---some sixteen in number ---~are all cleverly written, They in- iroduce the réader to many inter- esting characters and transport him to many lands. For the mpst part they are humorous, the dialogue is bright and sparkling, and they al waye end well. Into most of them the author has introduced some mystery, the solving of which sus- tains the interest and hurries the reader along. There is a fascination and finish about these condensed stories that will hold the reader un- ti! he has finished them all. 'The Kangaroo," "The Dasher," "The Hero's Last Engagement" and "Hannibal Hoke, Phil. D., M. D.," are - perhaps the . best of the stories; There are too: many of them fo attempt a de scription, and their character is so varied that a limited review could not do them justice.

Bach volume is attrac- tively bound and profusely iliustrat- ed, and will Torm a welcome edition to any libfary. The author is an American, Nevin 0. Winter, of Toledo, Ohlo, who has travelled extensively in Russia, who bas observed carefully during his trav ols and who knows his Russia well He Las the happy faculty of taking up such subjects as the general reader is likely to be interested in, to make the work comprehensive and to give enough information on each subject to make Russia in a certain degree understandable. A close acquaint ance with this great empire, with its history and early struggles, its peoples and its problems, has en- deared the land to the author, and he therefore writes of it sympathet- lcally and courageously. At the same time he has not hesitated to criticize where he considered critic. ism warrantable. The author traces the growth of Russia, and shows how Moscow, one of the smallest of the principalities of medieval times, gradually be- came dominant and extended its sov- ercignity over the whole of what is now the Russian Empire; how the Muscovites, once the least import- ant of the Slav tribes, acquired as- cendancy and overcame all rivals, including their far more powerful Stavonic neighbors, Poland. It is an absorbing story, full of dramatie in- cidents, the like of which can scarce- ly be duplicated by any other nation in Europe. ' Great credit is, of couse, given to T'eter the Great for the wonderful work he did in laying the founda- tions of a greater Russia. The life stories of his, for the most part, un- fortunate successors, are traced with fidelity and clearness. . The reader is given a concise and yet comprehensive history of the empire's problems, such as the land question, the drink habit, the Jewish pale and its unfortunates, nihilism and revolution, autecracy and bur- eaucracy, the struggle for represen= tative government, etc. The reader who desires to learn fomething of Russia----its past problems and its struggle upward into the light, will find Interesting material here.. A great deal of study and research has enabled the author to produce a work that is invaluable as a refer- ence and refreshing as an historical narrative Literary Notes Pook love, my friends, is your pass to the greatest, the purest, and the most perfect pleasure that God has prepared for His creatures. It losts When all other pleasures fade. It will support you when all other recreations are gome. It will last yon until your death. It will make your hours pleasant to yop as long a3 you live. --Anthony Trollope. A monumental work is being un- dertaken by the Publishers' Asso- ciation of Canada, Toronto, in the publication of a series of volumes on "Canada and Its Provinces." These books will deal with the his- tory of the Dominion from 1867 to the present day. Te Prof. O. D. Skelton, of Queen's University, this city, .fell the honor of' writing the first book, entitled, "General" Econ- omic History of the Dominion: 1867- 1912.". Those who have perused the work pronounce it an enlighten- ing treatise, exhaustive yet condens- ed, impartial yet forceful, In a poll of its readers tof deter- mine their choice of 'the three greatest living English poets in or- der of excellence," the English Jour- ral of Education found that Rud- yard Kipling, William Watson and Robert Bridges were the favorites. In his recent book, "Was the Apostle Paul an Epileptic?" Dr. Matthew Wodds refutes' this and his opinion is that of a special- ist on epilepsy.
