QUIT MEAT when
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take a Glass of Salts if Your
Back Hurts or Bladder
Troubles You.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally, says a
well-known authority. Meat forms uric
acid, which clogs the kidney pores so
they sluggishly filter or strain only
part of the waste and poisons from the
blood, then you are sick Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, constipation, dizziness.
sleeplessness, bladder disorders come
from sluggish kidneys
The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts. or if
the urine is cloudy. offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalding, get
about four ounces OF Jad Salts from
any reliable pharmacy and take
tablespoonful in a glass of water be-
fore 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 lithia. and has been used for
generations TO flush clogged kidneys
and stimulate them TO activity, also
to neutralize the acids in urine so il
no longer causes irritation. thus end
ing bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which all regular
meat eaters should take now and then
TO keep the kidneys clean and the
blood pure. thereby avoiding Eerious
kidney complications.-(Adv.)

Seventy Cent Corn-Ninety Cen
Wheat

Chicago March 23.-The March,
1914 corn rally is based on the South
western crop failure of last summer
and the trifiing reserves of March z,
last.
All old corn months should appar-
emily assume the 70-cent level and the
Argentine surplus still labeled
Hugh" "Monstrous" and the like is
burden that must be carried by our
1914 new crop prices.
In a bull year corn has a disagree
able habit( for bears) of advancing
to new and permanent levels at the
end of March.
We repeat. corn receipts should
dwindle and Chicago receipts during
April should not exceed 200. 900,
smallest in years, while shipments
should exceed 100000. Recent
shipping pace from Chicago has been
100000 to 100000 per month"
Our Southwestern correspondents
say a dry March is always followed
by dry April. Around Wichita, Kan,
wheat has stooled with from so to 300
shoots per grain, a perfect mat on the
ground.
The amount of wheat growth and
foliage is so ample that il will require
three or four times the usual spring
moisture to force the plant along.
The 1913-1914 provision market re-
mains a rigid affair No breaks of
consequence for six months. No sign
OF large summer hog supplies. Stocks
liberal, but hog costs high, without

one thing necessary to enable the
people of this country to enjoy the
potential benefits of the parcel post
No one has ever questioned the pos

by establishing direct relations be-
ween the ultimate consumer and the
original producer. A complete means
'or such direct transportation was
provided for the first time by the
of the domestic parcel
