EAT LESS mf
IF H HURTS
Take a glass of Salts to flush
kidneys if bladder
, bothers you.
Eating meat regularly eventually
J>roduces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says a well-known authority,
because the uric acid ln meat excites
ths kidneys, they become overworked;
get sluggist; clog up and cause all
eorts of distress, particularly back
ache and misery in the kidney re
gion; rheumatic twinges, severe head
aches, acid stomach, constipation, tor
pid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and
urinary Irritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take a tablespoonful ln a glass of wa
ter before breakfast, for a few days
».nd your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
ncid of grapes and lemon Juice, com
bined with Uthia, and has been used
for generations to flush clogged kid
neys and stimulate them to normal
activity; also to neutralize the acids
in the urine so it no longer Irritates,
thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot Injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent rthla
water drink which millions of men
and women take now and then to
keep the kidneys and urinary organs
clean, thus avoiding serious kidney
disease.—Advertisement.

the hair roots so it has never returned.

THIS LUNG REMEDY
A lingering cough or cold which docs
not yield to ordinary treatment, should
be a warning. Preventative measures
should be taken, at oncu. In many
cases, Eckman's Alterative has brought
about recovery. Read this:—
775 St. John's Place, Brooklyn, N. Y.
"Gentlemen: —In the year of 1908 I
was taken with a heavy cold and a
nasty short cough; consequently I fail
ed in health. I then went to the Cats
kills, and seemed to get better, but the
cough still kept up. I stayed there for
one year, and then went to a farm near
Jersey City, a very sick man. About
the time of my return, my brother
recomeuded Eckman's Alterative very
highly. It Is now nearly two years
since I first took it. I am now well,
and I dare say that I would have been

purchased another rusty affair. He
set about to get this in condition for

Dan. He went to a friend and bor

to a match for SIOO a side, to be held
before the regular match began. This
contest has never been forgotten In
Center county. Dan won easily by put
ting three bullets through the center
of the mark, and Just for good meas
ure, ho walked off with flrst prize ln
the following match.
For many years now Dan has been
unable to follow the work that he
loved. After he was obliged to 6ivo
up rafting he purchased Beveral
farms in Perry, Cumberland and Dau
phin counties, which are said to have
aggregated over 2,500 acres. As a
farmer Dan was a hugo success, but as
a financier he was a failure. By inju
dicious investments his estate has
dwindled to almost nothing. Now he
makes his home on a little plot of
ground belonging to E. B. Leiby, of
MarysviUe.
Attached to his home, is a small
plot of ground, on which he raises a
large part of his supplies. On many
days In Fall, Dan can be seen in tho
woods gathering berries, nuts and
roots, which he sells in this place.
Dan, with his basket of mountain
products, is a common sight on tho
streets of MarysviUe.
For the past ten years Dan has
made his home in a lltle log cabin on
this plot of ground, living altogether
by himself. His cabin contains a small
room on the flrst floor and another on

the second. In this lltle cabin ho
lives the life of a hermit, as contented
an old man as can be found anywhere.
During the ten years he has lived
at this place no one has lived with
him. Up until lust winter he re
mained in his little home the year
round. Last year's severe winter, with
old age creeping on, caused him to
desert his little log cabin and go to
live with his daughter at West Fair
view, but as soon as warmer weather
came, Dan came back to MarysviUe
saying, "Here I have lived for ten
yours and here I will die."
He attributes his long life to his
careful diet. Ho will never eat rich
food, living entirely on plain food,
such as mush, potatoes, meat, eggs
and vegetables. Nothing will per
suade him to taste strong drink of any
kind, saying, "I have gotten along
without It for eighty-six years, and 1
will get along without it for the re
mainder of my life."
On Friday "Cap'n Dan' celebrated
his eighty-sixth birthday, and in honor
of the occasion many persons of town
prepared a. donation and an enjoyable
feast for him.
