salts occasionally, says a noted au-
thority who tells us that meat forms
uric acid which almost paralyzes the
kidneys in their efforts to cxpel 1t from
the blood. They becomes luggish and
weaken, then you suffer with a dull
misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in the back or sick headache,
dizziness your stomach sours, tongue is
coated and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges The urine
gets cloudy, full Of sediment, the chan
nels often get sore and irritated, oblig-
ing you to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
To neutralize these Irritating acids
to cleanse the kidneys and flush Off the
bodys urinous waste get four ounces
of Jad Salts from any pharmacy here;
take tablespoonful In a glass of
water before breakfast for a 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 lthia, anu mas been used
for generations to flush and stimu-
late sluggish kidneys. also to neutral
lie the acids in urine, so it no longer

TO BUILD SUMMIT LINE
Extension Of 'strsst Railway System in
Summit Street, West Of Thirteenth,
TO Be Built Next Summer.

The Summit street extension Of the
Thirteenth street car line will be built
next summer. j. b. Wardle, OF Cedar
Rapids. chief engineer OF the Iowa
Railway & Light Company. while in
the city Thursday, said that the COM
pany was planning to build this 1900
foot extension In the summer.
Mr.. Wardle could not say just when
the company would get to it. but he
said It was planned to have it fin
ished before the end OF the season.
The company announced this extension
as one Of the new pieces of work II;
intended to do last summer. Then the
European war broke out caused the
money market to tighten. and the COM
pary thought 1t best not to attempt
any more new work until the money
market became better.
r. s. Cook, of Cedar Rapids. assis
tant general manager and purchasing
agent of the company, accompanied
Mr.. Wardle to this city. The men
came to secure specifications for ma
terials for the rebuilding of the North
Third and West Main street lines.
The materials are to be ordered very
soon, and the work Is to be begun as
soon as the material arrives, which
Mr.. Wardle thought would be early in
the summer.

CATARRH CAUSED
BY A GERM
Must Be Destroyed Before catarrh
Itself Can Be Cured, Says Specialist.
Wonderful Results From Breathing


Itself Can Be Cured, Says Specialist.
Wonderful Results From Breathing
Medicated Air.
Medicine taken into the stomach will
never cure catarrh. And neither will
the sprays, douches. lotions, creams
and other temporary reliefs that so
many catarrh victims make O habit of
using. To cure catarrh so it won't come
back you must first drive from your
body the millions of germs that are.
fiourishing in the inner recesses Of your
nose and throat and are causing the
disease. .FFs
There is preparation which does
this called Hyomei (pronounced High
O-me). Hyornei is q germ killing vapor-
lied air FORMED from the purest oil of
Eucalyptus, combined with other heal
ing and antiseptic ingredients. You
breathe Hyomei through! the mouth and
nose By means OF a little hard rubber
inhaler which druggists furnish with it.
This medicated germicidal air pene-
trates into every fold and crevice of
the throat, kills the catarrh germs that
lodge there, soothes, reduces and heals
the swollen inf1amed membranes, stops
the discharge and opens up the clogged
nose and air passage in a truly won
derful way. 1t gives blessed relief in
five minutes from catarrhal distress of
every kind and if you make a practice
OF breathing IIyome; tcr 9 few minutes
each day for just few weeks not only
will all the symptoms OF catarrh van
ish but the disease itself will be thing
of the past. No one need try or buy
Hyomei on pure faith. A. T. Elder and
many other leading druggists in Mar
shailtown and vicinity sell it with the
positive guarantee that 1t must cure
catarrh or that the money paid for 1t
will be refunded. Hyomei Isl very In
expensive and with this : protecting
guarantee behind your purchase. there
is absolutely no reason why any suffer-
Ier from Catarrh should not give it a
fair trial.

name.
He was buried today. Not in the pot

to lie, II he cared for birds. The small
trim bodies of DuertneTs oanaries will
be sold to pay for the immemorlal and
mystic distinction of funeral paid for
out of mans goods or the goods of his
friends.
So 1t is good thing that Duertner did
not sell his canaries, though he was
urged to do so often enough by folk too
poor to do anything but advise him.
Unable to work. because OF deep-seated
illness. he came to the pass where there
were crumbs enough to keep his birds
