flushing the kidneys occasionally,
says a we'll known authority. Meat

the strain, get sluggish and fail to
filter the waste and poisons from the
blood. then we get sick. Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness
and urinary disorders come from slug
gish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache
in the kidney or your back hurts or
if the urine is cloudy. offensive, full
of sediment, irregular of passage or
ATTENDED by a sensation of scalding,
stop eating meat and get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy; take a tablespoonful in glass
of water before breakfast and in a
few days your kidneys will act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia and has been used
for generations to flush and stimulate
the kidneys, also to neutraliZe the

Here's a lad who deserves to be rated
as one of the most remarkable athletes
in the world. Eddie Carroll is his name,
and he wears the colors of Bryant High
school of Long Island City. Carroll,
despite the fact that he lost his left arm
above the elbow when he was a little
child, is one of the best broad jumpers
in the metropolitan district, and in addi-
ton, he can skim over the low hurdles
at clip that is most remarkable for a
lad competing under such handicap.
Carroll is now but Is years OF age, and
his fame is so widespread that several of
the big colleges are casting sweet
chances in his direction.
Carroll has one victory to his credit
that many full-ledged champion is en-
vious Of He beat Howard p. Drew, the
remarkable colored athlete, when Drew
was running and jumping for Springfield
High school. This event took place year
ago, at the Amherst college games, at
Amherst Mass. On that occasion Carroll
leaped % feet inches and nosed out
Drew. who fell an inch or two short OF
that mark.
Eddie Carroll lost his arm when he was
A little bit of chap as result OF
terrible fall that he had. Even at that
age his tendencies were decidedly ath-
letic and when the doctor was forced TO
perform the amputation operation the lit
tie fellows chief regret was that he
could not grow up to be "champeen."
Carroll soon learned to romp and play
without his left arm. and it was not 50
very long before he began to beat all OF
the little fellows his own size and not a
few OF the bigger ones.
when he got into high school, Carroll
quickly became mixed up In the Public
School A. L. events and at once he
showed a tremendous springing power.
