DRUGS EXCITE YOUR
KIDNEYS, use SALTS
If Your Back is Aching or Bladder
Bothers, Drink Lots Of Water
and Eat Less Meat

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a
lot of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clean, by flushing them
with a mild. harmless salts, which re-
moves the body's urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal activ-
ity. The function of the kidneys is
tO filter the blood In "a hours they
strain from it 500 grains of acid and
waste, so we can readily understand
the vital Importance of keeping the
kidneys active.
Drink lots of water-you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take tablespoonful in glass of wa
ter before breakfast each morning for
few days and your kidneys 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 clean and slim
ulate clogged kidneys; also to neutral.
ize the acids in urine so it is no longer
source of irritation, thus ending blad
der weakness.
Jad Salts is Inexpensive; cannot in
iure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep their
kidneys clean and active. Try this, and
also keep up the water drinking, and
no doubt you will wonder what became
of your kidney trouble and backache.

PATHETIC CASE IS
RESULT OF THE WAR

With two brothers held in the Ger
man army and no one here to care for
their dependents, Miss b. Gemkow, of
Gooch, arrived in Salem this morning
looking for work.
The brothers went to Germany in
May to visit. While there they were
held as reservists. Their only posses
sion here is some farm land near Port
land. One brother has three eaildren,
who are mOtherless, and so the land
has been rented to enable the children
to go to school in Portland.
Weeping because of her dilemma, the
woman was found this morning in the
Oregon Electric depot. She speaks lit
tie English but when German people
were brought to her she told of her de-
privation and suffering. Matron Dor
sey said that Miss Gemkow is anxious
to find work with a German family.
