IF BACKACHY OR
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Eat less meat and take a glass of
Salts to flush out Kidneys
Drink plenty water.

Uric acid in meat excites the kidneys,
ache, and feel like humps of lead. The
urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is irri-
tated, and you may be obliged to seek re-
lief two or three times during the night.
When the kidneys clog you must help
them flush off the body's urinous waste
or you'll be a real sick person shortly.
At first you feel a dull misery in the kid
ney region, you suffer from backache,
sick headache, dizziness, stomach gets
sour, tongue coated and you feel rheu-
matte twinges when the weather is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots of water;
also get from any pharmacist four ounces
of Jad Salts; 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 iithia, and has been used
for generations to clean clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to normal activity,
also to neutralize the acids in urine, so
it no longer is a source of irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone should
take now and then to keep the kidneys
clean and active. Druggists here say
they sell lots of Jad Salts to folks who
believe in overcoming kidney trouble
while it is only trouble.

REFUSES To SEND

Mrs. Newton Herring, Arrested,
Passes Off Older Daughter
as Younger Child.
BUT TRICK Is DISCOVERED

BUT TRICK is DISCOVERED

Mrs. Newton Herring, 1906 Fourth
avenue, was arrested yesterday by the
local police for alleged breaking OF
the compulsory education law which
requires all children under the age OF
have passed through the eighth grade
and have a certificate from the city
superintendent to show that they
have gone this far.
Mrs. Salisbury, police matron and
truant officer, discovered that Mrs.
Herring was having one of her daugh-
tiers, said to be Is years of age, stay
out of school to work and investiga-
ton showed that she had not passed
the eighth grade. The mother was
therefore arrested but released with
out bond and instructed to appear in
police court this morning. She i'm
mediately became defiant AMI said
she would appear in court if she felt
like it and not otherwise. When
gently informed by the desk sergeant
however, that If she failed to show up
a policeman would go after her and
she would be locked in a cell. Mrs.
Herring changed her defiant manner
and decided to appear in court.
Brings Married Daughter.
The woman came to the police
court this morning accompanied by
her 19-year-old married daughter.
whom she passed off as the girl in
question. When duly sworn in and
the age of the girl established, Justice
Entrikin dismissed the case, not know
ing that this was not the girl in ques-
ton. Mrs. Salisbury, however, soon
learned of the trick and another war
rant was sworn out against the wom-
an. This time she is apt to get into
trouble of serious nature unless she
brings her younger daughter into
court. If the police establish the fact
that the girl is not yet 16 years of
age the mother will be forced to send
her to school until she has attained
that age or has passed through the
eighth grade.
The woman declared this morning
in court that the schools, the police
and the law were rotten.
