sorts of distress, particularly backache
and misery in the kidney region; rheu-
matte twinges, severe headaches, acid
stomach, constipation, torpid liver,
sleeplessness, bladder and urinary ir.
ritatien.
The moment your back hurts or kid.
neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces Of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take a tablespoonful in a glass Of
water before breakfast for few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
hmed with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush clogged kid
neys and stimulate them to normal
activity; also to neutralize the acids in
the urine SO it no longer irritates, thus
ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then to keep the
kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus
avoiding serious kidney disease-Ady.

TO GET PLANS FOR LOCKS
Property Owners Want Action Taken
on Bayou Lafourche Work.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Baton R6uge-As the result of a
visit of large delegation from AS
cension parish to Governor Hall the
Atchafalaya and Lafourche levee
boards will make plans and have esti-
mates secured for the construction
of the Bayou Lafourche locks. Steps
TO this end will probably be taken at
an early meeting of the two boards,
but by it the board is not committed
to an early plan for the construction
Of the locks.
R. N. Sims and Walter Lemann, of
Donaidsonvilie, were the spokesman
for the delegation that appeared be-
fore Governor Hall. They Insisted that
some steps be taken at once to have
the plans drawn, and to get some fig
ures on the cost of the work. The
United States government they
thought, might at any time require the
removal of the dam across Bayou La
f0urche, which the government allow
ed constructed as a temporary relief
measure, with the understanding that
it was to come down and locks later
built
Victor M. Lefebvre and J. A. Humph-
reys, of the Atchafalaya levee board,
were present. They said that the
board was willing to build the locks,
but that it did not have the money
at this time to begin the task, and had
a higher obligation to perform in the
building of the levees for the proteo
ton of the country below.
