SALTS FINE FOR
ACHING KIDNEYS
We eat too much meat, which clogs
Kidneys, then Back hurts and
Bladder bothers you.

Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels, get sluggish and clogged
and need a flushing occasionally, else we
have backache and dull misery in the
kidney region, severe headaches, rheu-
matte twinges, torpid liver, acid stomach,
sleeplessness and all sorts of bladder dis
orders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney
region, get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any good drug store here,
take a tablespoonful in a glass of water
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, combined with
ithia, and is harmless to flush clogged
kidneys and stimulate them to normal
activity. 1t also neutralizes the acids

Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive;
makes delightful effervescent nthia-
water drink which everybody ahould take

thus avoiding serious complications.
A well-known local druggist saws he
sells lots of Jad Salts 30 folks who believe

was one of the most peculiar ever
caused by an automobile in this city
Mr.. Arnell last evening was waiting
for car at Sixth avenue and Twenty
first street. An automobile travelling
at high speed approached, the driver
giving no warning, and Mr.. Arnell was
barely able to get out of its way. AS
he jumped aside he felt a singing
blow on the side of the head which
staggered him and an instant later he
discovered that a cut had been infiict-
ed.
When he had somewhat recovered
from the shock he looked about for the
missile which had struck him and
found thin piece of steel, triangular

You Are Tired of the Scream
of "Half Price" Aren't You?

The constant yell of 'HALF PRICE!
HALF PRICE, by some stores, as
though all this section of the country had
gone bankrupt, seems ridiculous when in
reality the enormous crop prospects
which we are assured is almost a GER
tainty, calls for rejoicing and optimism.
Tagging trade conditions scared
lot of Manufacturers and they began
slaughtering their stocks, of course we
were buyers.
The fact that these Manufacturers
were foolish, and threw away not alone
their profits but a part of their original
capital, is your good luck-As we buy,
so we sell.
Come any day and see these bargains
that we can't half tell about in the papers
of course We'll tell of some, but the
majority are. unadvertised.
We intend to keep on telling you of
your good luck. Whenever we buy bar

/ The only Recommendation for i'm
provement we can make at this time
/ IS. that the ward for consumptives be
provided with better facilities for
fresh air treatment" or better still
that a tent colony or somthing similar
be established for the use of the con-
sumptives.
One thing that deserves more than
passing notice is the fact that the
steward of the infirmary, F. B. Wylie.
has this year planted a fairly large
tract of ground-about acres-in gar
den truck; in fact a good deal more
vegetables will be raised there this
year than can be used at tie infirm-
airy. although the inmates are served
with plenty of vegetables all the year
round. something that was not done
before Mr.. Wylie took charge. This
surplus is at present being sold in Mo
line, in a stand at Fifth avenue and
Fourteenth street The first day. June
.. the sales amounted to $3.50, and
this without any announcements in
the daily papers. The plans of the
steward Cal: TOR an increased arreage |

must agree with his ideas that on a |
farm of rs acres and with as many in ]
mates capable of working as IL has, a |
larger amount OF vegetables than can

be raised and the surplus sold, the
cash thus secured being used in de-
