Il remember hearing of a distin-
guished gentleman" he said, who re-
ported in the press gallery just about
one hundred years ago. He had had
an excellent dinner, washed down
with excellent wine. He was bored
with the debate. He was wearied with
the superfluity of rhetoric which pre-
vailed just as much one hundred years
ago as today He got bored. and he
got up and asked the speaker for a
song.
THE speaker of that day was Mr..
Addington, a gentleman who was moth

except the speaker, was convulsed
with laughter.
The ergeant-at-arms was appealed
to. He went to the gallery and he in

Quaker sitting below him, aud this

SALTS If BACKACHY OR
KIDNEYS TROUBLE YOU
Eat Less Meat If Your Kidneys Aren't
Acting Right or If Back Hurts or
Bladder Bothers You.

When you wake up with backache
it generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they be-
come sort of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated.
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, channels Oft
en- get sore. water scalds and you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult a good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in glass of
water before breakfast for few days
and your kidneys will then 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 clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize
acids in the urine so it no longer irri-
tates, thus ending bladder weakness.
