WHEN KIDNEYS
START ACHING
Take Salts to flush Kidneys IL back
hurts or Bladder bothefs.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery In the kidney region 1t
generally means that you have been
eating too much meat, says q WELL
known authority. Meat forms uric acid
which 0verworks the kidneys in their
effort to filter 1t from the blood and
they become sort of paralyxed and log
gy. When your kidneys get sluggish
and clog you must relieve them, like
you relieve your bowels; removing all
the body's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache. dizzy spells;
your stomach sours. tongue Is coated.
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine Is
cloudy, full of sediment. channels often
get sore, water scalds and you are
obliged to seek relief two or three times
during the night =.
Either consult a good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from. your pharma
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts:
take a tablespoonful in q glass Of wa
ter 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, COM
bined with ithia, and has been used
for generation to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys. also to neutralixe
acids in the urine SO it no longer irri-
tates, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is a life saver for regular
meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes a delightful, efferve0-
cent Whitewater drink.-Adv.

WHAT THE HENS LIKE
Poultry Feeding Tests Carried on by
the Missouri Experiment station.

! T. L. Quisenberry, director of the
Missouri state poultry experiment sta
ton, at Mountain Grove, reports that
for the purpose of determining some
thing about the likes ard dislikes of
hens, a pen of 10 hens, composed of five
single comb White Leghorns and five
Buff Orphingtons were placed in a
house and yard November 49, and have
had 80 different kinds of the most sta
pie foods placed before them in open
hoppers, so that they might take their
choice and help themselves.
The results show that these hens ate
more wheat han any other one food.
They ate principally wheat, corn, mil
let, sunflower seed, kaflir corn and oats.
They ate five times as much ground
and rolled oats as they did corn meal.
They consumed but very little bran.
They used four times as much oyster
shell as grit. In animal or meat food
they only ate two pounds each of beef
scraps anu HSn scraps, anu drank oZf
pounds of buttermilk. They were out
of buttermilk practically month dur
ing this time and this accounts for the
fact that they drank little more wa
ter than buttermilk. When they had
both before them and could take their
choice, they drank about equal quanti-
ties of each. If this test indicates any
thing it indicates that sour milk or
buttermilk is better meat food than
beef scraps or fish scraps. They ate
scarcely no alfalfa meal, in spite of
the fact that this pen was kept on a
bare yard and was given but little 9TH
er green food. Our poultry will not eat
alfalfa meal or shredded alfalfa, even
when scalded, unless forced to do so
by mixing it with other ground feeds.
Out of practically every nine pounds
of milk, water and feed consumed
these hens manufactured one pound of
eggs.
