SALTS IF BACKACHY OR
KIDNEYS TROUBLE YOU
Eat Less Meat II Your Kidneys Aren't
Acting Right'or If Back Hurts or
Bladder Bothers You.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
1t generally means you have been eat
Ing too much meat, says a well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they be-
come sort of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them, like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, channels oft
en- get sore, water scalds and you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult good, reliable physi
clan at once or get from your pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take 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, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize
acids in the urine so it no longer irri
tates, thus ending bladder weakness
Jad Salts is life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes a delightful, effer
vescent lithia-water drink.-Adv.

DECISION GIVEN IN
FERTILIZER CASE
STATE SUPREME COURT MAKES
A VERY IMPORTANT
RULING.
NOT LIABLE FOR TAXATION
Two Murder Cases Are Affirmed
and One Reconsideration
Made to Rehear James
Bogart Case.

-lNdSUN lllS.
Among the cases decided by the
supreme court was one which settles
a very important question in Tonnes
see, and that is whether the capital
stock of manufacturing corporations
of a certain character is liable
for taxation. The case decided is
that brought from Maury county,
the style of the cause being
Tennessee Fertilizer Co. ct al. VS.. w.
S. McFall, Trustee, ct AL" which in
volved back taxes on the 100000
stock of the corporation. In the opin-
ion of the court, such stock in the
hands of stockholders is not liable
for taxation, although the property of
the corporation as a corporation is
taxable. The opinion in the case was
rendered by Justice Grafton Green.
Two second-degree murder cases
were affirmed by the court, James
Durham of Sumner county receiving
twenty years in prison and Leonard
Smith of Giles county receiving fiji
teen years.
The case of Frank Holman of Rob-
ertson county, for the killing of
Claude Norman, was reversed and re-
manded and the court took occasion
to rebuke the Encouragement for the
tactics pursued in the trial of the
case.
A motion was made by Judge ]. M.
Anderson in the James Bogart case
to file a petition to rehear. Bogart
was given ten years in prison for the
killing of one Harrison at the Phil
lips & Buttorff foundry.
