CLASS OF salts If
YOUR kidneys HURT
Eat less meat If you feel Backachy or
have Bladder trouble.

Meat forms uric acid which excites
and Overworks the kidneys in their eff
forts to filter it from the system. Regu-
lar eaters OF meat must flush the kid
neys occasionally. You must relieve
them like you relieve your bowels; re-
moving all the acids. waste and poison,
else you feel a dull misery in the kid
ney region, sharp pains in the back or
sick headache, dizziness, your stomach
sours. tongue is coated and when tho
weather is bad you have rheumatic
twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of
sediment; the channels often get irrl-
tated, obliging you to get up two or
three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take a table
spoonful in a glass Of water before
breakfast for few days and your kid
neys will then act fine and bladder dis
orders disappear. This famous salts
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for generations to clean
and stimulate sluggish kidneys and
stop bladder irritation. Jad Salts IS
inexpensive; harmless and makes a
delightful effervescent lithia-water
drink which millions of men and wo-
men take now and then, thus avoiding
serious kidney and bladder diseases.

"It was MIR. Bryan's ambition to he

now the cursed spite he has to leave
the Cabinet over an issue that MAJ
lead TO war.
at Is unfortunate for Mr.. Wilson and

that Berlin may conclude that the nation
has not been united for the Wilson
policies respecting Germany and that
Berlin can afford to treat the President

whether Mr.. Bryan was justified in
leaving the Cabinet in this international
crisis. must avail the publication of
the paper that he refused to sign. AS
for Mr.. Bryan, he was a failure as
Secretary of state and during his term
lost prestige throughout the nation, and
as Mr.. Bryan receded the President grew

Mr.. Bryan has resigned because he

people do not believe there will be war.
They. however, would not have the

the United States has the ends OF hui

time for clubbing has passed. Ger

THE country has confidence n the

reflection on Mr.. Bryan to say that not

matter OF common knowledge that on
