IF BACkACHY Or
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Eat Less Meat, Also Take Glass
Of Salts Before Eating
Breakfast.

Uric acid in meat eXcites the kidneys,
they become overworked; get sluggish,
ache and feel like Jumps of lead The
urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is ir
ritated, and you may be obliged to seek
relief two or three times during the
night. When the kidneys clog you must
help them flush off the body's urinOus
waste, or you'll be real sick person
shortly. At first you feel a dun misery
in the kidney region. you suffer from
backache, sick headache, dizziness,
stomach gets sour. tongue coated and
you feel rheumatic twinges when the
weather is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots Of water
also get from any pharmacist four
ounces of Jad Salts; take tablespoon
full 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 lem
on juice. combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to clean clog
ged kidneys and stimulate them to nor
NAL activity, also to neutralize the acids
in urine. so it no longer is source Of
irritation, thus ending bladder weak
ness.
lad Salts is inexpensive, can not in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia water drink which every one
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active Druggists
here say they sell lots Of Jad Salts to
folks who believe in overcoming kidney

Atlanta Aid Sought
To Build Big National
Park Near State Line

The aid of the Atlanta Chamber Of
Commerce in the move to establish a
national park in the Appalachian
Mountains is being sought by George
S. Powell, of Asheville, n. c, secre-
tary of the Appalachian Park Asso-
citation. He will present the matter 10
the chamber some time in the near
future and urge the support of that
body. Robert F. Maddox, vice presi-
dent of t. American National Bank,
is a director in the association.
The plan is to establish a park on
the order of the Yosemite and yell
lowstone Parks somewher in the Big
Smoky Mountains, in the Eeighbor-
hood of the Georgia, Tennessee and
Carolina lines. Under the Weeks bill,
the Federal Government has already
purchased about 100000 acres of this
mountain territory to be used in the
scientific study of tree growth and for
the preservation of the heads of navi-
gable streams.
Already, says Mr.. Powell, the move
is being supported by many of the
most prominent men of the South.

Drifting to Where 1t Can Be
Comfortable Year Round.

In place of imploring the powers to

the repining singer of one of Mr..
kipling's most rhythmical songs
would have made it "somewheres
south of winter, where it's always
summer time" had he been trying to
live In New York or the dreary East
these chill and stormy days.
Or maybe (by way of being spe-
cific) he would have said;
Just make it Atlanta, Ca"
A couple of outdoor pictures of the
present season tell the story better
than any amount of words, no mat
ter how carefully arranged.
Up East they're fighting billiards
and scrambling through snowdrifts.
School children are enduring the
hardships of Arctic explorers. The
poor are suffering bitterly-some of
them dying of cold and exposure.
In Atlanta the careful mother
wrings her hands because Johnny
simply won't wear an overcoat to

MILDLY blouse is plenty warm enough
why. my goodness gracious! She
was actually perspiry before she got
home from school, and now may she
go out and play basketball please?
All in the same country, on the
same day. by reason of a difference Of
paltry few hundred miles and a few
hours on q fast train.
No wonder the course of empire is
taking It's way southwark, where *
can reign so much more comfortably,
both winter and summer, with just
enough GOODNESS in one to make well
