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

excite the kidneys and irritate the
entire urinary tract. Keep your
kidneys clean like you keep your
bowels clean. by flushing them
with mild. harmless salts which
removes the body's urinous waste
and stimulates them to their nor
NAL activity. 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
pharmacist about four ounces of
lad Salts: take Il tablespoonful in
glass of water before breakfast
each morning for few days and
your kidneys will act fine. This

Result of Last Election.

The latest returns from the present
election give the democrats 222 and
the republicans 1856, being a plurality
of thirty-flye. How this can be con
strued to mean an administration de
feat is beyond the power Of an ordi
nary mind to comprehend. The only
place the administration was on trio
was in the election OF the members Of
the Senate and House. There has been
a slight gain in the Senate and thu
House remained democratic by good
working majority.
Under these circumstances 1T seems
very strange that the editorials IN

and throughout the country, have given

rule had but one exception to it from
