MEAT CAUSE OF
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys if
Back Hurts or Bladder
Bothers.

If you must have your meat every
day. eat 1t, but flush your kidneys with
salts occasionally, says noted author
ity who tells us that meat forms uric
acid which almost paralyzes the kid
neys in their efforts to expel it from
the blood. They become sluggish and
weaken, then you suffer with a dull
misery in the kidney region, sharp pains
in the back or sick headache, dizziness,
your stomach sours tongue Is coated
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine gets
cloudy. full of sediment. the channels
often get sore and irritated, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night.
TO neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off the
body's urinous waste get four ounces
of Jad Salts from any pharmacy here;
take tablespoonful in a glass of wa
ter 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 lithia. and has been used for gem
erstions to flush and stimulate sluggish
kidneys, also to neutraliZe the acids in
urine, so It no longer irrtates, thus end
ing bladder weakness
.Iad Salts is inexpensive; can not in

Southerners Treat Their Wives
Better Than Northerners Treat
Theirs, She Declares.

Miss Nina Melville, being an actress
and a young woman of exceeding
grace and beauty, probably never will
have to advertise for a husband, but
if she ever does, there'll be something
in the want" columns like this:
Wanted husband; must have
been born and reared in the South.
Trifiers save stamps"
Because" Miss Melville affirms, "a
Southern man is the ideal husband,
and when the orchestra plays Here
Comes the Bride with me in the
leading role, it must be a son of
Dixie who is keeping step with me.
And | won't care whether he has 4
bank roll or whether he has Is cents
and owes all of tiff he's the right
man.
Girls are more likely to find the
right man among the men of the Sun
ny South than among the men of the
North, and I've seen enough of the
Southern people to know that; and
that is why I've made up my mind
that when | change my name home
in Dixie must go with the change.
Southern men know how to treat
their wives. They make them sharers
in their joys, not their sorrows only,
and they do not consider them mere
chattels. They are allowed some men-
tai as well as physical freedom ar6
are treated like comrades, not merely
glorified cooks!"
OF course, Miss Melville says that
when she finds the right mana
Southern man-she will quit the
stage Right now, however she is
playing in Mrs. F'iske's company,
which comes to the Atlanta soon,

rife crash and hurled from their
berths by the rebound of the vessel
ran to the decks clamoring for life
preservers.
Panic on Nantucket, Too.
F1ghting their way to the boat
deck, where sailors were already
working at he davit ropes, they
pleaded for places.
No danger: keep COOL was the
word circulated by the officers.
AT the rail of the Nantucket the
passengers could see the Monroe with
her hull tossing in the water a few
yards away. The cries of fright COM
ing from the sinking ship intensified
the fears of the passengers on the
Nantucket at first. but after a time
the perseverance of the officers on
the latter ship had it's reward The
fright began to die out and many of
ten snlVerlng passengers retired to
their staterooms for warm clothing
For fear that some other liner might
run down the already crippled ships
in the gloom, the captain of the Nan
tucket ordered her siren to be kept
in action and the incessant clamor
from the big horn echoed above the
cries and commands.
Two Ships Answer Call.
All diOilS lHe virginia coast the
wireless operators, who had heard the
distress calls from the Nantucket,
were pounding out the international
IS. o. s." signals The steamship
Virginia was in the vicinity cropping
her way through the soupy sea and
turned her prov toward the disaster.
Her master sent reassuring messages
to the Nantucket When the Onon-
daga picked up the call she started
at once pushing her way through the
murk at a pace which would have
been considered dangerous If the sal
walton of human lives had not been
her goal
When the Onondaga arrived she at
once took command of the situation.
On account of the perilous condition
of the Nantucket it was considered
eXpedient to get her into port at once,
so the Onondaga took her in tow and
started for Norfolk AS she did so a
wireless message was flashed to shore
saying that 80 of the persons on the
Monroe had been saved.
Comparatively New Vessel.
The Monroe was one of the newer
ships of the Old Dominion Line. She
was built at Newport News in 1908,
and was equipped with all the modern
life safeguarding appliances.
She was 344 feet long and 46 feet in
the beam, and her tonnage was $500.
She was driven by single screw.
After her construction the Monroe
was put in the coastwise trade, ply
ing between New York and Norfolk,
having accommodations for about 125
passengers.
Shortly after she was put in com
mission she was in trouble off the
New Jersey coast, striking a sub
merged wreck. She. had. to be, towed
to port, but her damage YVES found to
be slight and after a short spell in
dry dock was again able to resume
her regular trips.
Captain Johnson, master of the
Monroe, was considered one of the
ablest and most cautious shippers in
the Old Domirion service.

ascertain to what extent his own ship

that crash of such force must have
been fatal to the other vessel
The Nantucket's bows had been
crumpled, and she began to ship wa
ter heavily. Within an hour her con-
dition was so dangerous that the mas
ter began to fear for the safety of
those on board his own vessel. The
pumps were kept steadily in action
and wireless calls were directed To
any other ships in the neighborhood
TO stand by in case of an emergency.
Sturdily and heroically worked the
sailors on the Nantucket Driving
their lifeboats under the towering hull
of the helpless Monroe, they risked
their lives to save the passengers and
crew of the sinking boat
Women Carried Into Lifeboats.
Not less heroic was the work of the
seamen on the Monroe The Monroe's
the passengers, and many of the
women passengers tainted and had to
be carried into the lifeboats The
Monroe was settling fast and the pas
sengers had no time to dress or lock

pitch that they gave no thought to
such trivials. Escape was the com
polling idea.

said that another ship had struck us,

came nightmare of noise and tc-

Senseless From Flying Debris.
Some of the passengers were badly
injured by flying debris. Sailors
picked up senseless men and women
and carried them or deck where he
rescue work was going on in the fiie%-
ering glow of lanterns.
There were a number of children
on the Monroe. Separated from their
mothers and fathers, the little ones
We're paralyzed with fright. They
were herded to the boats by the sea-
men, who were under orders to see
that women and children got away
first.
Captain Johnson was among the
last to leave his ship. When the
Monroe had settled until the water
was washing her decks, he called to
the remaining seamen on board:
Every man for himself now, boys!"
That was the final signal. With
their captain, the sailors leaped, TAX
ing chances on keeping themselves
afioat with wreckage until picked UP.
All the while the scene of terror
was being enacted on the Nantucket,
although in lesser degree. The pas
sengers on the Merchants and Miners
