SALTS If KIDNEYS
OR BLADDER BOTHER
Harmless to Flush Kidneys and Neu-
tralize Irritating
Acids

Kidney and bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it ON to the bladder,
where it often remains to irritate and in
fame, causing burn, scalding sensation,
or setting UP an irritation at the neck
of the bladder, obliging you to seek relief
two or three times during the night. The
sufferer is in constant dread, the water
passes sometimes with scalding sensa-
ton and is very profuse; again, there is
difficulty in voiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call it,
because they can't control urination.
While it is extremely annoying and
sometimes very painful, this is really
one of the most simple ailments to over
come. Get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from your pharmacist and take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast, continue this for two or three
days. This will neutralize the acids in
the urine so it no longer is source of
irritation to the bladder and urinary
organs, which then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless, and
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon Juice, combined with lithia, and is
used by thousands of folks who are SUBJ
ject to urinary disorders caused by uric
acid irritation. Jad Salts is splendid for
and causes no bad effects what
ever.
Here you have pleasant, .effervescent
litha-water drink, which quickly relieves
bladder trouble.-Advt.

good money crop, the wheat also fam
ly good while the clover maintained the
fertility of the soil.
The veg able garden also played
very important part in the i,'come of the
family, and afte. some ;ears of hard
work it became a source of great profit,
yielding some years several hundred dol
lars net. In the spring the garden was
carefully planned out, several hundred
pounds of home mixed fertilizer put on,
and the soil worked until il was in fine
condition for seeding. Small fruits were
also started--first strawberries and cher
ries: then the currants, gooseberries,
raspberries, etc, great care being taken
to plant early, mid.season, and late vari-
cites, so that there might be no gaps in
their selling capa bilities.
In the orchard there were plums.
peaches. pears, apples, and grapes, two
acres of the land being devoted to these
fruits, while the fertility of the soil was
maintained by the same methods as on
other parts of the place. Flowers also
had their share of adding 10 instead of
from the income, and 30 va
rieties of roses were grown successfully.
which sold very well for outdoor speci
mems. In 80 short space il is impos
sible to give all the details, but even
this slight summing.up will show the
struggles and handicaps with which a
man NAV set out in life, and how, with
time. intelligence. and labor. he may
turn what seemed almost hopeless into
a paying proposition.

WILSON STILL
CHEERFUL
Recent Reverses Have No
Effect on His Psy-
chology
SUCCESS IN NEXT
YEARS ELECTION
War Record He Believes
Will Be Popular
with Voters

Washington, April l3-The Thompson
landslide in Chicago and Republican vic
tories in many other municipal elections
last week, while disappointing to the
president, do not disturb his confidence
that the people will indorse the Demo
cratic national administration in the
presidential election next year. He be-
lieyes there will be two principal factors
in the Judgment of his administration
by the voters and in both cases it will
be favorable. These two factors are:
The guidance of the affairs of the ma
tion through the maze of pitfalls pro-
duced by the European war.
The enactment of legislation which the
president believes has liberated business
from monopolistic control.
The president fully realizes that for
several months the Republicans have
been able to make political capital of
the business depression. for which they
urged the people, apparently with con-
siderable success, to blame the Demo
Gratis. But times are on the mend in the
opinion of the president and within few
the ht "iti
be bereft of this issue.
Some Democratic leaders express the
opinion that the wave of speculation
which has hit the New York stock ex-
change heralds the advent of real pros
perity. Convinced that a business boom
is at hand investors say these politicians
are scrambling to get in on the ground
floor and win fortunes from the impend.
ing rise in stocks.
Republican leaders say that if pros
perity comes it win be in spite of the
Democrats and that the people will dem
onstrate at the polls next year that they
care TO take no chances on repetition
of the conditions of 1913 and 1914 The
more they study the Chicago election
the more convinced they are that Illi-
nois is back in the Republican column
to stay and that the state will WELD
more powerful influence than ever before
in the selection of a Republican candi-
late.
