We are a nation of meat eaters and our blood is fled with uric acid, says a wellknown authority, who warns us tv he constantly on guard against kidney trouble. The kidneys de their utmost to free the blood of this irritating acid, but become weak from the overwork; they get sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and thus the waste is re. tained in the blood to poison the en- tire system. When your kidneys ache and feel like lumps of lead, and you have stinging pains in the back or the ur- ine is cloudy, full of sediment, or the bladder is irritable, obliging you to seek relief during the night. When you have severe headache, 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 cf 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 and lemon juice, com- bined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimus late clogged kidneys, to neutralize . the acids in urine so it is. no longer & source of irritation, thus ending urinary and bladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive and can- not injure; makes a delightful effer- vescent lithia-water drink, and no- body can make a mistake by taking a little occasionally to keep the kid- neys clean and active. WE GO TO MR. HENDERSON ? WITH MY TROUBLES (Copyright, 1916, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate). Arthur's astonishment when I to. him abruptly that I wanted him to] aid me In finding Mr. Gordon probab- ly was very patural. I did not think much about it at the time, but when one does not know that a person is| lost, and, in: fact, hasn't thought! thought very mith about that per-| son at all, one is apt to be fairly sur-! prised to be requested to begin a! search for the gentleman desired. This was Arthur's case. Probably! hie had not thought of Mr. Gordon at, all, for several months, and in all! likelihood he never had imagined! that he was not in New York, or, for that matter, that I had not seen him | that day. Under such circumstances to be requested to seek Mr. Gordon | might have implied that he had been, kidnaped or that he had been spirit-| ed away in some very mysterious! fashion. Realizing this, it occurred | to me to explain some of the facts in| the case. | "Mr. Gordon," I told him, "is sup-| posed to have beem captured by the | Germans while engaged in a difficult] and perilous engineering eénterprise| for the French government, to which | he tendered his services several months ago. He and Mariam went | to Paris, and from there he set out| on his mission, 1 have received al letter from her telling me that she' had not heard from him in a long! time and that she could get no as- surance from the government offie-| ials that he was alive, She belléves | that he was captured >y the Ger- mans and is a prisoner in the Kais- er's empire." | "What was he doing for the French government?" 'I do not know precisely, Mar- fam thinks he was consulted regard- ing the construction of railroad lines behind the Fremch and British tren- ches and th he personally visited the dangerous locality so that he would be in a better position to give advice. She admits the possibility of his being killed by a German shell, but she hopes that he was cap- tured. Her hope is borne out to some extent by the fact that no trace either of Mr. Gordon or of the engin- eers who accompanied him has been found. It is reasonable to suppose, therefore, that they were surprised and captured, Do you not think so?" "With such meagre information at hand it would be presumption for me to suppose anything," replied Ar thur a little tartly, "Let me see Mariam"s letter." 1 rose to get it, but stopped sud-| denly, What of the reference to the mysterious pocket? Would not Ar- THE CONFESSIONS OF ROXANE (By Frances Walter) | haste," replied Arthur. thur think it strange that Mr. Gor- don. had left anything of that sort for me? But, even if he did, I was | | innocent of any wrongdoing, and with a clear conscience, what had I to fear? I got the letter from my] desk and gave it to him. He read it slowly, the customary frown upon his brow. "She doesn't give much informa- tion, does she " he asked, ignoring for the time the reference to Mr. | Gordon's message to me. "No. She doesn't seem to have been able io obtain mach." "I mean, she doesn't seem to know much about Mr. Gordon's mission. Where is the previous letter she re- fers to?" "I think I destroyed it." "Was there anything ia it to in- dicate where her uncle intended to 0?" "I think not, In faet, I do not believe Mr. Gordon told her much. He must have been under the neces- sity of strict secrecy, and naturally he would not discuss his mission." "All that is known, then, is that Mr. Gordon has disappeared?" "Apparently that is all, except that he is supposed to be a prisoner in Germany." "It will be a great shock to Mr. Henderson," mused Arthur, half to himself, "He was the closest friend Mr. Henderson had." "Then Mr. Henderson will attempt to find out where he is, will he not?" "Naturally, As I said, he was probably the closest friend Mr. Hen- derson had. They not only were associated very intimately in many business affairs, but they were warm personal friends." "Then Mr. Henderson will take the mattér up immediately with the State Department?" [ asked. 'Come, let us drive at once to Mr. Hender- son's home." "There is no necessity for such * Will dis- cuss the matter with him tomorrow." "But why delay? I am sure Mr. Henderson would want to know it immediately if his best friend was in trouble. Besides, it is possible that haste may mean everything. I have heard of ' court-martials and persons being saved in spite of their friends. Possibly a similar condit- ion may prevail in the case of Mr. Gordon." "It is not likely. If he was ar- rested under circumstances which indicated he was a spy he would have been shot immediately, If he is alive at this time it is because they have no intention of shooting him." "Nevertheless, Mr. Henderson ought to learn of it at once. Let us &o to him now." Arthur rose unwillingly. 'Very well," he said, 'but I shall not take this letter along with me." He gazed fixedly at me for a mo- ment and I fear that I changed color under his scrutiny, However, he said nothing and soon we were on our way to the old banker's home, (To Be Continued.)

The discussion has been revived, if, indeed, it ever subsided with- i the burial place the bones of Columbus historians and anti. quarians resume the century-old dis- pute. It is a controversy that has not been settled, and the prospect that it ever will be settled is not encouraging to those who would have the botss of the great adventurer and discoverer remain at rest in one place. Spain claims to possess the remains of the celebrated explorer in the city of Seville. Dominicans are usually sure that the remains of the discoverer of America are in their possession. Columbus died and was buried at Valladolid, Spain, in 1506. That isa fact which has passed beyond the region of dispute. It is related by adequate authority that seven years after his death his bones were re- moved to Seville, where the bones of his son Diego were also laid. About thirty years later both bodies were exhumed and taken oversea to Santo Domingo, where they were buried in the cathedral.- The bodies re- posed there undisturbed until 1588, when the English under Drake sack- ed the city, and the residents fearing that the tomb might be desecrated, destroyed all evidence of it and hid the bones in some spot in the cathe- dral that later could not be found. This is the way the marrative, which is accepted as history, runs. It is further related that in 1795, when Santo Domingo was ceded to , certain remains found in a vault of the cathedral were taken to Havana, Cuba, and there interred as the bones of Columbus. It was these bones which at the close of the Spanish-Americali war in 1898 were exhumed by Spanish authorities and removed to Seville, where they now rest. Soon after this certain Do- minicans discovered near the altar at the cathedral a leaden casket con- taining bones, a bullet and a silver plate on which®™as an inscription to the effect that the bones which, at the close of the Spanish-Americaa war, were taken to Cuba, were those of the son of Columbus. The weight of opinion seems to be that the bones of Columbus rest in the cathedral in Santo Domingo, and that the bones removed by the Spanish to Havana in 1795 were the remains of Colum- bus' son, Diego. The Speed of Birds, There is nothing more wonderful in nature than the power - of flight possessed by birds, and no subject which yiélds more startling facts upon investigation. "The way of an eagle in the air" is one of these things of which Solo- mon expressed himself ignorant; and there is so in the m ) the + culiar to of prey. even naturalists of the first order have had little or nothing to about the power of flight in birds, while some of them speak on very insufficient evidence, Witness Michelet's statement that the swallow flies at the rate of 240 miles an hour. Roughly this gives us 1,000 miles in four hours, but naturally, even in its swiltest dashes, the swallow doés not attain to any- thing like this speed. But the Duke of Argyll is rather under than over the mark when he computes the speed al more than ome hundred miles per hour, The mechanism of flight in the swallow is carried thro an ascending scale, until in the ft it reaches its highest FOODIE 00 Flying Men § Are Heroes 3 DIDI DD Creed NDEH the title of "English Aviato@e--Who They Are and "What They 1}0." The Matin of Paris receatly published an appreciative article from which we take the following quotations. The statements, how- ever, should not be accepted as au- thioritative or official, although from what we have heard of the Uueroie deeds of British flying men, we see no reason to doubt their accuracy: / The English aviators are eutrusted with the same mission as the French, The same halo of brilliancy encircles them, they obtain the same glorious results, and yet there is an indefin- able something which distinguishes them from' their French colleagues. What 'is this elusive quality whick enables one to distinguish the na- tionality of the aviator on inerely hearing the details of an aerian ex- ploit? I think it is' because : our Allies carry on aerial warfare in a more sporting than military spirit. They regard an encounter in the air with their abhorred enemies as an exciting and thrilling experience. This mode of action, while permit- ting our Allies to obtain remarkable resuits, has also the inconvenience of augmenting their losses. The com" bat in the air is often unequal, the Englishman will not hesitate to at- tack single-handed ten or twelve|s Germans. He brings down several, but is oftea beaten himself in the long run by force of numbers. The English, with perfect loyalty, state tn their official communiques the num- ber of their aeroplanes which do not return to their base. In September they lost 48 avjons, brought dowa 53 enemy machines, and damaged about 100. The French during this month brought down 66, damaged 67, but their losses were much less, But marvellous are the. deeds of heroism inscribed each day in the annals of the Royal Flying Corps. I will cite a few of them. On August 11, during a reconnais- sance in Egypt, an aeroplane was at- tacked by two enemy machines. A bullet broke the English pilot's jaw, another pierced his shoulder, a third found a resting place in his left leg, and finally his left band was also wounded. He fainted, regaining cons sciousness when only 150 metres above the earth. He was over his own lines. He brought his machine safely to land, and then found that his observer was wounded in the chest and shoulder. With dificuity he made his report, fainted and died. During a bombing mission Lieu- tenant Albert Ball enemy aeroplanes, divided into three groups. He advanced towards the first group, which contained seven machines, and fired on them at a distance of ten yards. The first Ger man wavered, wheeled, and Tell. He then threw himself upon the others, firing two volleys at them. The first Boche took fire and fell. The others attempted to escape, but our phet immediately started in pursuit and followed them until he has dis- charged his last cartridge, onc of the enemy machines falling on a house in a village. Ball then returned for more munition, came back . to the charge, and attacked three more |S aeroplanes, which he put out of action; then, having mo more petrol, & Used in Millions of Tea Pots Daily--Every Leaf is Pure Every infusion is alike delicious _or Mixed } Sealed Packets only.

In spite of the bad weather Lieutenant Owen Tudor Boyd one day descended to 'within 350 metres in order to drop bombs on a passing train. Lieutenant Gordon Kidd descended from 2,200 mel ves to 300 for the pleasure of dropping a bomb on a munition train, which caught fire and blocked the line with wreckage. Lieutenant Tayler derail ed a troop train. Lieutenant Gordom Gould, attacked during a recommais- sance, was younded in the leg. In spite of the intense pain he brought down one enemy machine, severely damaged another, day observed four enemy machines, He attacked three, one after another, and put them to flight, the fourth in the meantime being other Englishman.
