IF BACK HURTS
BEGIN ON SAL Is
Flush Your Kidneys Occasion
ally if You Eat Meat
Regularly

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally, says
a well-known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which excites the kidneys,
they become overworked from the
strain, get sluggish and fail to filter
the waste and poisons from the blood,
then we get sick. Nearly all rheuma-
tism. headaches. liver trouble, nerv-
BUSINESS, dizziness, sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts or IL
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular OF passage or at
tended by sensation of scalding. stop
eating meat and get about four
ounces Of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy; take a tablespoonful in a glass
of water before breakfast and in
few days your kidneys will act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon Juice, COM
bined with 1ithia. and has been used
for generations to flush and stimulate
the kidneys, also to neutralize the
acids in urine so 1t no longer causes
irritation. thus ending bladder weak
ness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can not
injure: makes delightful efferves-
cent lithia-water drink, which every
one should take now and then to keep
the kidneys clean and active and the
blood pure, thereby avoiding serious
kidney complications.--Adve rtisement

NJ REYNOLDS FOR
REAL TRUST CURB.
Attorney General in Report
Opposes Oil and Tobacco
Dissolution Plan
Rx Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Dec. s.-Attorney
General McReynolds in his first report
as head of the law department of the
government, submitted to congress to-
day, makes few recommendations for
legislation. The changes he urges
have more to do with the machinery
of courts than with the fabric Of the
law.
On an antitrust legislative pro-
gram the attorney general was silent.
He asked congress for no amendment
to the Sherman act, the rod his de-
partment uses to bring trusts to
terms, and he points out no fault in
its operation.
President Wilson intends to send a
special message on the trust ques-
ton to congress soon, and that un-
doubtedly will embody some of the
attorney generals views.
OPPOSES COURT DEGREES
Attorney General McReyno1ds made
1t clear that so long as he was head
OF the department he would oppose
court DEGREES in antitrust suits
where the combination was dissolved
into parts under the control OF the
same STOCK nOlQcTS. lH4l pAdIis
adopted in the Standard Oil and To-
bacco cases. he calls a fundamental
defect" and later adds in the same
connection. MY fixed purpose is to
oppose any plan of dissolution which
would leave the separate parts of the
unlawful combination under the con-
troll of the same set of men,"
Coming to a review of the events
with which his department has been
concerned for the fiscal year, the at
torney general shows that when he
took office SO cases were pending un-
der the Sherman law. and that since
March 4 eight cases have been begun.
WAR ON WHITE SLAvERS
Through the bureau of investiga-
tion and corps of local white slave
officers the department. the attorney
general says, has vigorously carried
on the work of prosecution of Of
tenders and has helped suppress the
traffic.
