TAKE SALTS To
FLUSH KIDNEYS
Eat Less Meat if You Feel Backachy
or Have Bladder Trouble.

Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their
efforts to filter it from the system.
Regular eaters Of meat must flush
the kidneys occasionally. You must
relieve them like you relieve your
bowels; removing all the acids, waste
and poison, else you feel 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 is
cloudy, full of sediment; the channels
often get irritated, obliging you to
get up two or three times during the
night.
! To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take a table,
spoonful in a glass of water before
( breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine and bladder
disorders disappear. 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 sluggish kidneys
and stop bladder irritation. Jad Salts
| is inexpensive; harmless and make a
delightful effervescent lithia-water
drink which millions of men and
women take now and then, thus
avoiding serious kidney and bladder
diseases.

Lee County Nimrods Are Taking no
tice of Proposed Bill to Create
Five Year Closed Season
on Birds.
ARE AGAINST MEASURE
sportsmen Say They Help to Protect
Birds, But Would Lose Inter
tst If Bill Should
Pass.

The general assembly at Des Moines
is considering bill that provides for
a closed season on quail, pheasant
and prairie chicke.. for a period OF
five years.
This bill, If passed. by the legisla-
ture, would seriously effect the sports
men in Lee county and the antagon-
ism against the bill is bitter among
hunters hereabouts. Many of the
sportsmen declare that the bill would
not accomplish what it is hoped 1t
would by the representatives support
ing it. They assert that it is not the
sportsman who diminishes the quail.
hunters themselves are always in
terested in the welfare of the game be.
cause they get some enjoyment every
year with dog and gun in quest of the
birds.
Sportsmen themselves are respo1-
sible for the arrest and conviction OF
large percentage of the persons who
kill quail during the closed season.
Many starve to Death.
More birds are lost through starva-
tion in freezing months than are kill
ed by sportsmen.
In a letter to the legislators. some
of the county sportsmen point out that
they have large number of coveys OF
birds under their protection. They
are feeding the birds and assisting the
state game warden in pulling Bob
White through the winter months, so
that they have some enjoyment when
the season opens that will repay them
for their labor and trouble.
Now il law is passed prohibiting
the killing of these birds for period
of five years, the sportsmen who are
really interested in the propagation OF
the birds will lose all interest IN
them,'' reads the letter.
Will Lose Interest in Birds.
THE men who have no respect for
game laws kill the birds. They will
not be interfered with, should the Jill
become law, because the sportsman
will no longer interest himself in see
ing that the laws are obeyed.'
1t is pointed out by the sportsmen
that by the arrival of next winter,
should the law be changed, Bob White
will have lost his friends, and there
will be no one who will trouble himself
to locate a covey of birds, make few
shelters, Or scatter some corn after
a heavy snow that has covered his
feeding ground with the result that
in five years Iowa will have fewer
quail than it has at present. They as
sert that quail have been increasing
steadily in the last five years and WI
continue to do so under the present
laws and the protection of the state
game warden.
