O'Clock this evening TO shape defn-
itely the proposal that will be sub

Most folks forget that the kidneys
like the bowels, get sluggish and
clogged and need a flushing OCCASION

misery in the kidney region, severe
headaches, rheumatic twinges, torpid
liver, acid stomach. sleeplessness and
all sorts Of bladder disorders.
You simply must Keep your kid
ncys active and clean, and, the mo-
ment you feel an ache or pain in tho
kidney region, get about four ounces
OF Jad Salts from any good drug
store here. take a tablespoonful in a
glass OF water before breakfast for a
few days ind your kidneys will thea
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lIthia, and is
harmless to flush clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to normal activ-
ity. 1t also neutralizrs the acids III
the urine so it no longer irrttates,
thus ending bladder disorders.
lad Salts is harmless; ine%pen-

drink which everybody
Should take now and then to keep
their kidneys clean, thus avoiding
serious complications.
A well-known local druggist says
he sells lots of Jad Salts to folks wllo
