DRINK MORE WATER
IF KIDNEYS BOTHER
Eat less meat and take Salts for Back
ache or Bladder trouble
Neutralizes acids.

Uric acid in meat excites the kidneys,
they become overworked; get sluggish,
ache, and feel like humps of lead. The
urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is irri-
tated, and you may be obliged to seek re-
lief two or three times during the night.
When the kidneys clog you must help
them flush off the body's urinous waste
or you'll be real sick person shortly.
At first you feel a dull misery in the kid
ney region, you suffer from backache,
sick headache, dizziness, stomach gets
sour, tongue coated and you feel rheu-
matte twinges when the weather is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots of water;
also get from any pharmacist 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,
combined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to clean clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to normal activity,
also to neutralize the acids in urine, so
1T no longer is source of irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in
Jure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which everyone should
take now and then to keep the kidneys
clean and active. Druggists here say
they sell lots of Jad Salts to folks who
believe in overcoming kidney trouble
while it is only trouble.

selves. A time, when our best and
dearest friends cannot tell what to
do and if they do tell us it is best
not to heed We must follow out the
dictates of our own heart. Some
thing which prompts, and we must
obey. When looking back you some
times wonder why you did such a
thing at such a time, but it is passed
and gone and you have learned a les
son and it is for you to profit by it
or pass it by. At such a time as this
we first meet Sue" the leading char
acter in Kentucky Sue' simple
mountain girl, who has stumbled on
to the first romance of her young life

with her own clan and marry the
man of her fathers choice instead of
her own. See kentucky Sue" and
