If you must have your meat every
day, eat 1t, but flush your kidneys with
salts occasionally, says a. noted au-
thority who tells us that meat forms
uric acid which almost paralyzes the
kidneys in their efforts to expel it
from the blood. They become sluggish
and weaken, then you suffer with a
dull misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in the back or sick headache,
dizziness, our 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 seek relief two or three
times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the bodys urinous waste get four
ouuces Of Jad Salts from any pharm-
acy here; take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for a
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 neu-
tralize the acids in urine, so it no

mankind can devise, and in fact the

now on their 22d annual tour, and will
give two complete exhibitions at Rich

present season is newer and richer than
ever.
To add to the variety, a complete Jap

very cleverest Oriental acts ever impor-

America for the first time.
Over 100 great artists appear with this
big show. Dean and his matchless band

other new dances. satisfied that those
who rave against them have very little
knowledge of whereof they affirm. That
they can be danced indecently, and they
sometimes are, cannot be gainsaid. But
decent people do not dance that way,
and properly performed they are as
pleasing and as proper as any other oi
the dances.
Recognizing the popularity of the two
dances, Baden Baden has decided tc
hold an international tournament during
the last ten days in August, with prizes
aggregating 81, 500, part of which will,
with trophy, be awarded to the best
dancer, which will carry with it the

American couples will doubtless be lin

much money in getting that which would
not be worth much after it was obtained
There have been those ever since we

dancing as the objectionable sin. But

they belong to the old fogy class, who
