SALTS is FINE FOR
KIDNEYS, QUIT NEAT
Flush the Kidneys at Once When
Back Hurts or Bladder
Bothers.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally. says a
wel-known authority. Meat forms urfo
acid which clogs the kidney pores so
they sluggishly filter or strain only
part of the waste and poisons from
the blood, then you get sick. Nearly
all rheumatism, headaches, liver trou-
BILE, nervousness, constipation, dizzi-
ness, sleeplessness, bladder disorders
come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache In
the kidneys or your back hurts, or ii
the urine is cloudy, irregular of pas
sage or attended by a sensation OF
scalding, get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any reliable pharmacy and
take tablespoonful in a glass of wa.
ter before breakfast for a 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 md has been used
for generations to flush clogged kid
neys and stimulate them to activity.
also to neutralize the acids In urine
so it no longer causes irritation, thus
ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes delightful effervescent
liathia-water drink which all regular
meat eaters should take now and then
to keep the kidneys clean and this
blood pure, thereby avoiding serious
kidney complications.

An UnfrIendIy Attitude.

Conditions at home are Of course,
much better than in these countries,
though there are reactionary symp-
toms to be seen, especially in the
larger industrial centers. The situa-
ton in the railroads continues unsat-
isfactory, while the expulsion Of a
large and influential express COM
pany from the field for purely econ
omic causes, adds but another COM
plication to the situation. A promin-
ent financial authority points out that
the unfriendly attitude Of congress to
business and large corporate inter
ests in general remains one Of the
most depressing features in the stu
alton. Protests from successful
business men Of high character appear
to have little or no effect upon the
national legislature.
II is not generally known that there
are between 100000 and 1S,oO0.000
of savings depositors in the United
states, whose deposits aggregate near

per cent of the total bank deposits In
the United States. Nor is 1t generally
realized that the mutual savings

Lsy w. 8. Cousins, Editor the American Banker.]

NEW YORK, April 6. Three
months Of the new year have passed.
When 1914 was ushered in, it was
with the hope and prospect that be-
fore the spring months had fairly be-
gun, the country would be enjoying a
business boom the like Of which we
had not seen in a century. With
promises Of cooperation from the
white house, with foreign trade max
ing new records, with currency and
tariff problems satisfactorily adjusted
theoretically, at least-with bust
ness men thoroughly convinced of the
certainty Of better times ahead, It
was but logical to conclude that the
most satisfactory basis for future
prosperity had been laid. And yet 1t
is the unanimous verdict OF business
men that the promised boom has not
yet materialized.
