KIDNEYS CLOG UP FROM
EATING TOO MUCH MEAT
Take Tablespoonful Of Salts II Back

Forms Uric Acid.

We are nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filed with uric acid, says
well-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 It's
sues clog and thus the waste is re-
tanned in the blood to poison the en-
tire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like humps 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 stomach or
rheumatism in bad weather, get from
your pharmacist about four ounces Of
Jad Salts; take tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast each
morning and in few days your kid
neys will 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
and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neu-
tralize the acids in urine so 1t is no
longer source of irritation, thus end
ing urinary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure: makes a delightful efterves-
cent lithia-water drink, and nobody
can make mistake by taking little
occasionally to keep the kidneys clean

GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA
TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR
She Made Up Mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur to Bring Back Color,
Gloss, Thickness.

4 Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays.
by asking at any store for "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you
will get large bottle of this famous
old recipe for about SO cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it SO naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another APP
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy. Adv.

Elaborate preparations for the an
nual meeting of the Mississippi Bar
association at Gulfport, the latter part
of this month. are now being made.

pleasant and profitable, because, fol-
lowing meeting of the Mississippi
and Louisiana bar associations, in sep

most distinguished attorneys in the

arate conventions at IL a. m, on
Thursday, April 30. The Mississippi
association will hold it's convention on

Gulfport court house.
Judge Robert B. Mayes of Jackson
president of the Mississippi Bar asso-
ciation, will deliver the opening ad-
dress of the convention of Mississippi
attorneys. Officers will be chosen at
this meeting. In this connection it is
interesting to note that Chief Justice
Sidney Smith Of the supreme court,
who has been secretary of the associa-
ton since it was formed in 1906, re-
fuses to be candidate for reelection,
and in fact says that he cannot see his
way clear to become a candidate. Judge
Smith frankly says that he does not
want the office again.
The lawyers of both states who will
gather in Gulfport the latter part of
the month will be royalty entertained
on the coast. The social features in

Float Bond Issue.

1t is probable that among the first
acts of Gov. Brewer will be the pre-
liminary steps toward getting the mil
lion and quarter dollars bond issue
provided for by the legislature floated
and on the market. Early action in
this respect is necessary, in view of
the absolute stringency in the states
financial situation at this time, and as
the preliminaries necessary to the
floating of the bonds will consume
some time, it is expected that Gov.
Brewer will make an early start.
There is practically nothing in the
treasury at the present time, and the
small amounts received from time to
time are swamped by outstanding
claims against the general fund, even
before they are actually paid into the
treasury. It will be necessary to ad-
vertise the issuance of these bonds for
several weeks, in the financial jour-
nails as well as through the columns of
the metropolitan press, and pending
the actual sale to prepare the serial
bonds, as the act directs, so that they
may be ready for the market and for
delivery when the sale is made. These
are details which require time, care
and method, in order to meet the ex-
actions of the bond market, and will
require considerable time in the hand
ling.
