MEAT INJURIOUS
To THE KIDNEYS

We are a nation of meat eaters ard
our blood is filed with uric acid, says a
well-known authority, who warns US to
be constantly on guard against kidney
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 system
When your kidneys ache and feel like
Jumps OF lead, and you have stinging
pains in the back or the urine is cloudy,

table, obiiging you to seek relief during
the night; when you have severe head
aches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleepless-
ness, acid stomach or rheumatism in bad
weather, get from your pharmacist about
four ounces of Jad Salts; take q
tablespoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast each morning and in few
days your kidneys will act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid OF
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
hthia, and has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys,
to neutralize the acids in urine so ~ -
no longer a source of irritation, thus
ending urinary and bladder disordsrs
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
iniure; makes a delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink, and nobody can make
q mistake by taking a little occasionally
to keep the kidneys clean and active. /.

URGES PRESSURE
TO AID THE BILL
Head of River Levee Associa-
tion Says People Can
Help Get Money.

John a. Fox, secretary-manage OF
ton, has just gotten back from Wash
ington, where he has been for the past
five months in the interest of the ap-
priation for the lower Mississippi riv-
er, and while he feels hopeful for the
passage of the pending river and har-
Dor bill carrying the SS,000,000 for the
Mississippi river below Rock Island,
nevertheless, he states that every
effort should be made to keep the mat
ter before congress. In order that the
friends of the measure throughout the
delta may be informed how matters
stand. Mr. Fox gave out the following
interview:
THE river and harbor bill was re-
ported to the senate on June 90 by the
commerce committee and was to have
been taken up as the regular order of
business. but owing to certain trust
legislation that was deemed necessary
by the administration, the bill was
temporarily laid aside until these meas
ures could be disposed of, it being
agreed when the bill was supplanted
by the trust measures that discussion
should be heard upon the bill in case
there should be any cessation during
the debate on the other bills. The bill
came up for debate several times dur
ing the latter part of June and the
early Part of July when some adverse
criticism was made on it by several
senators who have planned TO defeat
the bill, if possible. At the present
democratic caucus of the senate it was
decided to proceed continuously with
the trust bills and get them out of the
way and then take up the river and
harbor bill and dispose of it and then
adjourn. Many of the friends of the
bill feared that placing 1t thus at the
end of the program had greatly weak
ened it's chances of being enacted into
law, but Senator Simmons, chairman
of the committee on commerce, and
many other able senators stated posi-
lively that congress will stay in ses-
sion and that the bill will be passed.
THE people of the Mississippi val
lev can all do effective work along
this line, and l strongly urge every cit
izen to whose attention this interview
