MEAT CAUSE OF
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys it
Back Hurts or Bladder
BOtherS

If you must have your meat every
day. eat it. but flush your kidneys
with salts occasionally. says a noted
authority, who tells us that meat forms
uric acid, which almost paralyzes the
kidneys in their efforts to expel 1t
from the blood. They become slug
gish and weaken, then you suffer
with dull misery in the kidney re-
gion, sharp pains In the back or sick
adache, dizziness; your stomach
sours, tongue is coated, and when the
weather is bad you have rheumatic
twinges. The urine gets cloudy, full
of sediment, the channels often get
sore and irritated. obliging you to
the night
To neutralize these irritating acids.
to cleanse the kidneys and flush on
the bodys urinous waste, get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here; take a tablespoonful in
a glass of water before breakfast for
few days, and your kidneys will
then act fine. This famous salts is
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for generations to flush
and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also
to neutralize the acids in urine. SO 1t
no longer irritates, thus ending blad-
der weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive: can not in
jure. and makes a delightful effer-
vescent lithia-water drink.-Adver-

THREATENS TO
SUE C[UbW0MEN
Mrs. Prewitt Says She Has
Been Falsely Accused of
Anonymous Letters

Society matrons ond clubwomen will
be made defendants in damage suits
growing out of the anonymous letter
scandal which agitated club circles a
month ago. Attorney George A. Knight
announced positively this morning
that Mrs. Elizabeth Prewitt had de-
cided to institute court actions against
the women who accused her of writ
ing the anonymous notes.
THE suits will soon be brought,
said Knight this morning. I'VE have
decided to sue, but have not decided
lust whom shall be made defendants
The date of the anonymous letter
writing reaches back two years, but
the blame was not put on the shout
ders of Mrs. Prewitt by number OF
the clubwomen until little over
months ago. 1t appears that the
charges were made after Mrs. Fred M.
Fenwick, one of the women who had
received letters, had returned from a
trip south.
There is absolutely no proof that
Mrs. Prewitt did write these letters,
and there is proof that she did not
write them. 1t is not the money she
cares about" said Attorney Knight
"It is Just to vindicate herself in a
court OF law. A judgment of 81
would be just as satisfactory to her
as one for $1,000"

Officials Want Information

City Attorney Long has been asked
by the board of supervisors to deter
mine whether the city officials have
the legal right to prohibit the estab-
lishment Of the proposed Inside inn
on the exposition grounds Attorney
William A Kelly for the Hotel Mems
association presented a vigorous pro-
test to the supervisors against the
inn, declaring its proposed establish
ment would be unfair to local hotel
men, whose holdings represent an in
vestment of $50. 5000 and who can
provide ample accommodations for the
1915 visitors. He pointed out that the
Inside inn would have special privi-
leges which hotels outside the fair
grounds could not possibly obtain.

dictate the necessity for the develop
ment and perfection OF some system
OF automatic train control to be used
in connection with existing signal
systems.
High speed was an important con
tributing cause OF several serious ac-
cidents during the past year. On
many roads there is no limit to the
speed at which passenger trains are
allowed to run. Enginemen are thus
encouraged TO run their trains at ex
cessive speed in an effort to make up
time lost on schedules that are in
many cases already sufficiently fast
for safety. Such high speed is
especially dangerous in times of fog
or storm, when signals can be seen
but q comparatively short distance.
The maximum allowable speed of
trains on all roads should be estab-
lished at safe limit, and it should
not be left entirely to the judgment
of enginemen to determine whether
or not this limit is exceeded.
