GLASS Of SALTS
CLEANS KIDNEYS
If Your Back Hurts or Blad-
der Bothers You, Drink
Lots of Water.

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore. don't get scared and
proceed TO load your stomach with a
lot OF drugs that excite the kidneys
and trritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clean. by flushing them
with mild. harmless salts which re-
moves the body's urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal ac-
uvity. The function OF the kidneys is
to filter the blood. In "a hours they
strain from il 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 Jad
salts; take tablespoonful in a glass
OF water before breakfast each morn
Ing for few days and your kidneys
will act fine. 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 ciogged kidneys: also
to neutralize the acids in urine so it
no longer is a source of irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness
Jad Salts is inexpensive: cannot IN
lure; makes a delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then TO keep
their kidneys clean and active Try
this. also keep up the water drinking
and no doubt you Will wonder what
became of your kidney trouble and
backache

MULLEN'S STYLE
MOLINE MANAGER SAYS OU-
BUQUE BALL CLUB HAS HOOK
go A LIVE ONE.

That Larry Mullen, the new Du-
buque baseball pilot and angel, is a
( live one and one who will make things
go is the opinion of George Hughes,
the Moline manager, who has returned
from Dubuque with Mrs. Hughes and
Hughes Jr. The new head of the
Plow city team Is now here to stay.
While in Dubuque Hughes held con-
ferences with both Mullen and Clar-
ence Rowland, talking baseball in gen
eral and new players in particular. He
is not ready TO annouce any results.
However, ne brought word that he had
succeeded in annexing the signature
of NJ. G. Davis. a southpaw finger
whom he has been long angling for.
Davis is feet and is highly routed
by the scouts of the Cleaveland team.
Davis is p years OF age, and has
played one year of professional ball.
He played that season during 1914 and
with two leagues alternately, the New
England and the Virginia State. IN
both he is reported to have made good
as a finger. and the record that he
made of winning twenty-five games
and losing eight gives something on
which to base the report. He halls
from Milwaukee.
Uncle Sans morning bundle also
contained the signed contract of Clyde
W. Bundy. Highlander from Bachus
MINI. Statistics in his case show him
TO be youth of 20 summers. , feet
in height and III in weight He
tells of having won 10 games of p
pitched last season, and even as semi
pro games go it's a fair record.
