— 10 Smoking Postmen of Korea. A decidedly quaint character is the Korean postman, says a writer in the Wide World. You come across these gentry in the morning, delivering the letters. They appear to recognize the dignity of their office and fulfill ‘their duties in a very quiet and grave man- mer. In wet weather he dons his “rain * elothes” to protect him from the heavy showers, Over his white kaftan he wears a lizht mackintosh, provided by a thoughtful gov ent, while his IF KIDNEYS AND BLADDER BOTHER Take a glass of Salts to flush out your Kidneys and neutralize irritating acids Kidney and Bladded weakness re- sult from uric acid, says a noted au- thoriy. The kidney’s filter this acid fro the blod and pass it on to the bladded, where it often remaians to irritate and inflame, causing a burn- ing, scalding sensation, or setting up an irritation at the neck of the blad- der, obliging you 1o seek relief two or three times during the night. The sufferer is in constant dread, the water passes sometimes with a scalding sensation and is very pro- fuse; again, ‘there is difficulty in avoiding it. Bladder weakness, most folks call it, because they can’t control urina- tion. While it is extremely annoy- ing and sometimes very painful, this is really one of the most simple ailments to overcome. Get about four ounces of Jad Salts from your phar- macist and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast, continue this for two or three days. This will neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation to the bladded and urinary organs which then act normally again. Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless, - and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with li- thia, and is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary dis- orders sauced by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts-is splendid for kidneys and causes no bad effects whatever. Here you have a pleasant, effer- vescent lithia-water drink, which quickly relieves bladder trouble. nead is covered with a waterproof hat made of oil paper. He is further forti- fied against the wet by an umbrella. Like most Koreans, the postman could not possibly work without his pipe. and as he strolls from house to housre he is invariably smoking. The letters are carried in a leather satchel strap- ped to his back. This individual may be taken as a typical example of the physical characteristics of these inter- esting people. They are tall—over a head higher than the Japanese—well -| built and fair complexioned. When Critics Disagreed Professor Lounsbury tells a good story which seems to show that in the matter of poetry critics hold diverse opinions and that one man’s opinion is as good as another’s. According to the professor, Aubrey De Vere, the Irish poet, collected on the same day the opinion of three of his brother poets on the poetical standing of Burns. One of these-poets, who was Tenny- son, said Burns’ songs were perfect, but-that one had to forget his serious pleces to enjoy them. The second, who . was Wordsworth, said that Burns’ “se- rious efforts” showed great genius, but that his foolish little amatory poems were worthy only of oblivion. The third was Sir Henry Taylor, who said that he found Burns’ songs and his se- rious, poems alike—tedious and disa- greeable. B Spoonerisms. Even history bas its charms. As one follows the events of the day start echoes from the past, and sometimes laughter. Example: Here is a quaint fellow in Tay Pay’s Weekly revealing marvels about the signs and names of English inns. Creditable performance, doubtless, though drowsy withal. But we have conned the pages-of history, so remem- ber Spooner—the great, great Spooner —he who got run over while “boiling his icicle” at the side of the road, yet recovered and went home by “the town drain.” To Spooner we.owe a criticism —by deeds, not words—of the names they give inns. Surely you recall his agreeing to meet a friend at the Green Man, Dulwich, and. with his usual ap- titude, hunting all afternoon for the Dull Man, Greenwich.—New York Trib- une. Nothing Like System. “There’s nothing like system,” said a New York official. - “System will ac- complish the impossible. “The director of a recent art show was a fine chap for system.

Scientific Uses of the Radish, An alcoholic solutjon of the skin of a red radish serves as an excellent indi- cator or test for acids and bases. .In the presence of acids the colorless so- lution turns pink, while with bases— alkaline solutions—it turns yellow. It is well known that many plant ex- tracts, such as litmus, and animal products. like cochineal, possess this property of developing marked colors with acids and bases, but no other in- dteator is so simply made. What Did He Mean? “Is there any place around here where I can get my shock absorber fix- ed?” asked Petlow, addressing the man in front of the rural garage. “Waal, ‘I dunno, mister,” was the reply. *“This here’s a prohibition state, but I may hev some on hand for medi- cal purposes ef you're reely sufferin’.” —Toronto Globe.
