EAT LESS AND TAKE
SALTS FOR KIDNEYS
Take a Glass of Salts Before Breakfast
if Your Back Hurts or Bladder
Bothers You.

The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trOu
BILE because we eat too much and all
our food is rich. Our blood is filled
with uric acid which the kidneys strive
to filter out, they weaken from over
work become sluggish; the elimina-
tive tissues clog and the result is kid
ney trouble, bladder weakness and
general decline in health.
When your kidneys fell like Jumps
of lead; your back hurts or the urine
is cloudy, full Of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night; if you suffer
with sick headache or dizzy, nervous
spells, acid stomach. or you have rheu-
matism when the weather is bad, get
from your pharmacist about four ounc-
es of Jad Salts: take a tablespoonful
in a glass Of water before breakfast
for a few days and your kidneys will
then act fine. This famous salts is
made from the acid of grapes and lem
on juice combined with hthia and has
been used for generations to flush and
stimulate clogged kidneys; to neutral
iZe the acids in the urine so it no lon
ger is a source Of irritation, thus end
| ing bladder disorders.

make mistake by having good kid

HOW TO PREVENT
ACID STOMACHS AND
FOOD FERMENTATION
By a Stomach Specialist.

AS a specialist who has spent many
years in the study and treatment of
stomach troubles, | have been forced
to the conclusion that most people
who complain of stomach trouble pos
sess stomachs that are absolutely
healthy and normal. The real trouble,
that which causes all the pain and
difficulty, is acid in the stomach, usu
ally due TO, or aggravated by, food
fermentation. Acid irritates the deli
cate lining of the stomach and food
fermentation causes wind which dis
tends the stomach abnormally, caus-
ing that full bloated feeling. Thus
both acid and fermentation interfere
with and retard the process of diges-
ton. The stomach is usually healthy
and normal, but irritated almost past
endurance by these foreign elements
acid and wind. In all such cases
and they comprise over 80 per cent
of all stomach difficulties-the first
and only step necessary is to neutral
ze the acid and stop the fermenta-
ton by taking in a little warm or cold
water Immediately after eating, half a
teaspoonful of bisurated magnesia,
which is doubtless the best and only
really effective antacid and food cor
receive known. The acid will be neu-
tralized and the fermentation stopped
almost instantly. and your stomach
will at once proceed to digest the food
in a healthy, normal manner. Be sure
to ask YOUR chemist for the bisurat-
ed magnesia, as I have found other
forms utterly lacking in its peculiarly
valuable prOpertieS.-F. J. G..

the county during the last quarter OF
1913, $1,17S34 was given out in food,

of the last three months, the trustees
say, than Richmond.
In Boston township there were no
calls for aid and no money was spent
for that purpose, according to w. S.
Porterfield, trustee. Only 81 was
spent by Trustee G. j. Paullin of
Webster township while w. E. Brown
of Greene township spent So; l.. H.

high school to play a curtain raiser to
the Earlham-Winona Aggies basket
