{ MEAT INJURIOUS
TO THE KIDNEYS;
Take a Tablespoonful of Salts
If Back Hurts or Bladder

Uric Acid.

VIC arc nation of meat eaters
and our blood is filled with uric
acid, says d well known authority,
who warns Us to be constantly on
guard against kidney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to
free the blood of this irritating
acid, but become weak from the
overwork; they get sluggish; the
climinative tissues clog and thus
the waste is retained in the blood
to poison the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like humps of lead. and you have
singing pains in the back Or the
urine is cloudy, full of sediment,
or the bladder is irritable, obliging
you to seek relief during the night !;
when you have severe headaches,
nervous and dizzy spells, sleepiess-
ness, acid stomach or rheumatism
in bad weather, get from your
pharmacist about four ounces of
lad Salts; take tablespoonful in
a glass of water before breakfast
each morning and in a few DAYS
your kidneys will act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid
Of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia. and has been
used for generations to flush and
stimulate clogged kidneys, to neu-
tralize the acids in urine so it
is no longer a source of irritation,
thus ending urinary and bladder
disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive ami can
not injurc; makes a delightful eff
fervescent lithia- water drink, and
nobody can make a mistake by
taking a little occasionally to keep

HINT OF STORMY SESSION.
Merely an Outward Indication, How
ever, as Explanation Proves.

Ah-at last 1t had happened. Surely
there could be no doubt that the board
of education had had a regular row, in
deed a real fight" The board be-
yond doubt had lost its unity and had
had great split, even as Dame Rumor
had been predicting about town for the
last few months.
Everything gave forth such indica-
lions. There was table in the office
of the superintendent turned on It's
side. Scattered about profusely were
chairs in quite unusual positions. Any
there. from the floor. large portion
of the carpet had been ripped and lay
in convulsed heap.
Aye. surely everything indicated that
the board had been having a stormy
session. That Is. everything except
