IF BACK HURTS
BEGIN ON SALTS
Flush Your Kidneys Occasionally II
You Eat Meat Regularly.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally,
says a well-known authority. Meat
forms uric acid which clogs the kid
ney pores so they sluggishly filter or
strain only part OF the waste and
poisons from the blood, then you get
sick Nearly all rheumatism, head
aches, liver trouble, nervousness, con-
situation, dizziness, sleeplessness,
bladder disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts, or II
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full Of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation Of scalding, get
about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any reliable pharmacy and take
tablespoonful in a glass of water be-
fore 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, combined
with lithia and has been used for gen
erations to flush clogged kidneys and
stimulate them to activity, also to
neutralize the acids in urine so it no
longer causes irritation, thus ending
bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
iniure: MAKES delightful effer-
vescent lithia- water drink which all
regular meat eaters should take now
and then to keep the kidneys clean
and the blood pure, thereby avoiding
serious kidney complications.

NEW STORE FRONTS
SHOULD Be BUILT
owners Of Buildings should Cooper
ate With Merchants In This,
Says M. E.
Justice.
INCREASES IN BUSINESS
construction Of New Store Fronts,
One Of Main Objects Of the
Contest, Justice
Says.

"Owners of business buildings
should cooperate with the merchants
IN the Improvement of their stores
and windows by the construction OF
new store fronts where they are need
cd and are wanted by the merchant.
r is practically impossible for. ma
chant to display his goods to the
hest advantage in an old style store
front. A new and modern store front
NOT only enhances the general at
tractiyeness Of the store and Is
means of increasing the volume OF
business but is an added incentive to
the merchant to keep his windows ana:
his store throughout in the best pos
sible condition" This is what M. u.
Justice, president of the Retailers
league had to say this morning when;
discussing the effect of the first dis
play contest.
MIR. Justice said he believed quite q,
number of new store fronts Will pc
constructed as a direct result OF the
contest being conducted under tae
auspices Of the Retailers league. His
idea is that the contest will awaken
the merchants to the value of GOOD
window displays and that the con-
struction of new fronts will follow as
a matter OF course.
There is no question but that the,
general appearance Of Keokuk could
be practically transformed iffall the
old out of date fronts could be re-
nlaced by new and modern ones. That
the total volume of business trans
acted by Keokuk merchants would be
greatly increased can hardly be ques-
toned
The store front creates the hrst
impression on the customer, and as
rule that impression will be carried
out after he enters the store.
The construction Of new store fronts
and the permanent betterment of the
window displays Of local retailers are
the objects sought by the ofhcers OF
the Retailers league in holding this
contest. The immediate increase OF
business resulting from the contest is
"a minor matter in comparison with
the real object of the contest.
