DID WAINWRIGHT
MEETF0UL PLAY?
Body Is Exhumed at Port By
ron for Post Mortem
Examination.

The body of Boyd Wainwright IS
exhumed at Port Byron Wednesday
and a post norton examination made
by physicians for the purpose of inves-
tiGating a report that the young man
had met with foul play. Wainwright,
who was only Is years of age at the
time of his death, was drowned in the
Rock river near Sterling about two
weeks ago. He was the son of Frank
Wainwright of Rapids City, and of
late an unconfirmed report, the origin
of which could not be learned, had
been floating about regarding the
young mans death. According to the
rumor he met with foul play, and in
order to make sure an investigation
was started which resulted in exhum-
ing of the body Wednesday.
Physicians state that they were I'M
able to find any indications which
would substantiate the report, and
they brand it as idle talk. Nothing
suggestive of foul play could be found
ard the body was buried again.

Eat less meat if you feel Backachy or
Bladder troubles you-Salts is
fine for Kidneys

Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their efforts
to filter it from the system. Regular eat
ers of meat must flush the kidneys occa-
sionally. You must relisss them like you
relieve your bowelsk- removing all the
acids, waste and <fson, else you feel
dull misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in the back or sick headache, diz-
illness, your stomach sours, tongue Is
coated and when the weather is bad you
have rheumatic twinges. The urine ia
cloudy, full of sediment; the channels
often get irritated, obliging you to get
up two or three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before break
fast for a few days and your kidneys will
then act fine and bladder disorders dis
appear. 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 slug
eish kidneys and stop bladder irritation.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; harmless and
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then, thus avoiding
serious kidney and bladder diseases.
