QUIT MEAT IF YOUR KIDNEYS ACT BADLY Take 'Tablespoonfil of Salts If Back Hurts or Bladder Bothers. We are a nation of meat eaters and our blood if filled with uric acid, says a well-known authority, whe warns us to be constantly on guard against kidney trouble; The kidneys do their utmost to free the blood of this irritating acid, but become weak from the over- work; they get sluggish; the elimin- ative tissues clog and thus the waste is retained in the blood to poison the entire system, When your kidneys ache and feel tike lumps of lead, amd you have stinging pains in the back or the urine is cloudy, full of gediment, oy the bladder is irritable, obliging you to seek relief during the night. When you have sever headaches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or rheumatism in bad wea- ther, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water be- fore breakfast each morning and in a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes d lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neu- iralize THE aclds Th wrine so it is no longer- a sofirce of irritation, thus ending urinary and bladder disor- ders.

Two Eskimos, Sinnisiak and Uluksuk, murdered two Catholic priests, Fathers Laroux and Rouvier, near Bloody Falls, on the Copper- mine River, far in the Arctic Circle, in 1913. After a pursuit that lasted for more than three years, and ex- tended over 6,000 mites, the mur- derers were brought to Edmonton by Sergt. "Danny" LeNouze and Con- stables Wright and Withers. They were convicted; indeed, they freely confessed their crime and were. sen- tenced to death, but on the strong advice of the jury and the judge it was decided that it would be a crime {6 execlits men whe understovd so little the nature of their offence and who at the time it was committed feared that the priests were about to shoot them. So the Eskimos will be gent back to their icy homes, there to spread among their fellows this wonderful story of the long arm of British justice, The hunt for the Egkimos began on May 1, 1915, 'when Sergt. "Danny," the Irishman with the French name, took his two men and left Edmonton for Peace River. Here the party fitted out for a three- year trip, then proceeding down the Peace River to Lake Athabaska, then down the Slave River across the Great Slave Lake, and into and down the Mackenzie River as far as Fort Norman. Here they picked up an Eskimo interpreter, who, with his wife and daughter, was attached to the party. At this point, too, an- other constable joined the party. They reached Bear Lake on August 4 after a hard journey. Here they found old Fort Franklin, still stand- ing and in good repair. It is named after the Arctic explorer, who once spent a winter on the spot. Then they started across Great Bear Lake, a huge body of water, and it took them from August 12 to September 8 to make the distance of 400° miles. All were seasick. 'The party had a dozen husky dogs with them and had to firh daily for their food. The next stop was at Dease Bay, ll where they expected to come across the cabin of the priests, It was at | this spot that Stefansson found the t evidences of a blonde Eskimo in 1911. When they came across the the priests had been 'murdered, for it was looted, but still there was no- || thing to give a clue to the murder- ers. Up to this time, it ought to be remarked, the officers were only a report that the priests had been killed by unknown Eski- mos, and until they r>ached thie ran- | sacked cabin they had not éven pre- sumptive evidence that a crime had || been committed.

By the middle of -Mareh all was ready for the dash into the Arctic. It was March 29, 1916, when they began the last stage of their journey, a 200-mile trek to the world's rim. In a month of sled- ding and traveling by foot they had reached the Coppermine River. Here they fell in with Eskimo bands, &nd the real hunt began. They were armed with automatic pistols and rifles, for they did not know what sort of reception they might meet, but the Eskimos, though sometimes sullen, were never hostile, and not once did.the officers have to use their weapons, It would have been useless to do to in any event, for had the Eskimos meant mischief they were numerous enough to over- whelm the white men. What gave them their wonderful authority was not their guns, but the knowledge that they represented the North- West Mounted Police, men who never let go of a man once they had seized him, and would follow a murderer to the ends of the earth, The Eskimos, however, were comparatively friend- ly, though at first it was difficult to get much information, from them. The police traveled heré and there, and finally drifted out to Cape Lam- bert, in the Dolphin Straits. It was here they learned the story of the murder, an that 'he murderers were in the sJelghborhood. : It appears that the two murderers had been practically expelled by their tribe, and were living like outcasts. At a point near the edge of Victoria Land the officers found Sinnisiak in an ice hut. When théy walked in on him be merely glanced up, though a big gun lay near his hand. The in- terpreter told bim tbat he was under arrest. He immediately told all the details of the crime, and offered not the slightest objection 10 going with Sergt.

They came in ex- cellent condition, and . the contents were just such things as.we wanted and codld appreciate. Altogether I think the new syrtem very good. Be- fore it came into force some men were getting much more food than they required, and were even then not satisfied, and were continually grumbling. Now every man gets the same amount. There is, therefore, no discontent, and things run more smoothly. n "With regard to the bread coming from Switzerland, 1 think that dur- ing the summer time this is a great waste. For three years tie British people have been told about the bread going bad, and yet it still keeps coming out, and in conse- quence thousands of pounds of bread have been wasted. The bread is, of course, sent"to the main camps, and in the ease of men who are actually there when it arrives they' get it in good condition. ¥For the men in working camps, however, things are different, as the bread has to be sent on, and takes perhaps another three weeks to get there, by which time it is quite uneatable. "I would recommend that instead of this bread being sent to the pris- oners, rusks or biscuits should be substituted, The biscuits sent to the French prisoners are excellent, and if dipped in a little water and heated, rise and take tme form of bread; moreover, these biscuits will keep an almost indefinite time, The French prisoners have their biscuits sent out in bulk to the various main camps, and they are distributed from there to the small working camps, "To my knowledge the parcels were never stopped for any reason, except during the six weeks I have mentioned, but I have heard rumors of the Germans threatening to stop them. I do not think they will do so in thetcase of the British prisoners at any rate; if they did thew would not get a single stroke of work out of them, The Eskimos at Home, Some interesting and amusing in- formation concerning the aboriginal inhabitants of the Arctic regions is contained' In an article, "Wireless with the Eskimos," by Douglas R. P, Coats in The Wireless World, = The author kept a diary of his experience while on a voyage to Baffin Land and Hudson Bay on board the Nas- copie, a sealer and ice-breaker en- gaged in carrying supplies to various Hudson Bay stations in the Far North-- "The Eskimo at home was rather a surprise. 1 was taken to a wooden hut, which helched forth the Eskimo stench as we opéned the door. There were four or five inhabiting the hut, and they lived in a state' of semi- cleanliness, perhaps superior to many of our brethren in eivilized slum- fand. They all assumed the happy Eskimo smile as we entered their dwelling and arose politely to their feet. Snowshoes and various seal- skin garments hung upon the walls, while from the shadow in one.corner protruded the horn of a phonograph! It seemed so utterly incongruous, this possession of an up-to-date marvel by a family who ate raw seal and whose children Gelighted, most like- ly, in nothing better than chewing a piece of walrus hide, that I wanted to laugh. I had not heard then of the passionate love which the Eskimo has for music. In some regions, where missionary influence is strong, he has his own brass, band, and pro- duces horrible noises in the process of mastering the trombone or eu- phonium---just like ourselves. "The smile of the Eskimo is a con- tinuous one. When he is hurt be smiles; when his kyack upsets and precipitates him into icy water he smiles; when he is friendly he smiles again, and - when he is not friendly I am willing to wager that he smiles to. kK palls upon one who is not accustomed to it, and I was not sorry when we bade the family good-tye and went out into the fresh air."
