MEAT INJURIOUS
TO THE KIDNEYS
Take a Tablespoonful of Salts

We are a nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid, says
a we'll known authority, who warns us
to be constantly on guard against kid
ney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork; they
get sluggish; the eliminative tissues
clog and thus the waste is retained
in the blood to poison the entire sys-
tenn.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps of lead, and you have sting
ing pains in the back or the urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, or the blad-
der is irritable. obliging you to seek
relief during the night; when you
have severe headaches, nervous and
dizzy spells. sleeplessness, acid stom-
ach or rheumatism in bad weather.
get from your pharmacist about four
ounces of Jad Salts; take table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast each morning and in a few
days your kidneys will act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid
OF grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for gen.
erations to flush and stimulate clogg-
ed kidneys. to neutralie the acids in
urine asogtt is no longer a source of

bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot

cent Whitewater drink. and nobody
can make mistake by taking a little
occasionally to keep the kidneys clean

HIS DREAM MATERIALIZED.
Curious Incident In the Career OF
Novelist S. r. Crockett.

Novelist S. r. Crockett.
One morning the postman brought to
S. R. Crockett. the novelist, a letter
Gazette containing small check as
payment for a contribution. Mr..
Crockett knew that nothing was due
to him, that he had been paid for all
articles, and-remarkable mamie did
the check up in an explanatory note
and returned it to the editor.
The next day back came the check
from the editor-remarkable man
with a note saying it was due. The
st. James Gazette had published an
article from the pen of Mr.. Crockett
which had not been paid for, hence
the check. Again Mr.. Crockett-re-
markable man-returned the check,
and still. the remarkable editor refor-
warded ii, this time with the article
cut out of the columns of the st.
James Gazette.
Now comes the curious feature of
the incident. When Mr.. Crockett
clapped his eyes on the article he was
astonished to find it one of his dreams
materialized. One night. going to bed
extra tired, he dreamed that a good
idea for n ST. James Gazette column
had occurred to him, that he then and
there sat down, wrote it and posted it.
Next morning he remembered his
dream and made UP his mind some day
to write the article exactly as he
dreamed. he had written it. when. to

Martial of nearly 1000 years ago. The
