STOP EATING MEAT IF
KIDNEYS OR BACK HURT
Take Glass Of Salts to Clean Kid.
neys If Bladder Bothers YOU
Meat Forms Uric Acid.

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says well-known authority
because the uric acid in meat excites
the kidneys, they become overworked;
get sluggish; clog up and cause all
sorts Of distress, particularly backache
and misery in the kidney region; rheu.
matte twinges, severe headaches, acid
stomach, constipation, torpid liver,
sleeplessness, bladder and urinary ir.
ritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid.
neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces OF
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
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 lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush clogged kid
neys and stimulate them to normal
activity; also to neutralize the acids in
the urine so it no longer irritates, thus
ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which millions Of men and
women take now and then to keep the
kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus
avoiding serious kidney disease.-Adv.

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp-Root, DR.. Kilmer's Prescrip.
ton, Overc0mes Kidney Trouble

It is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to re-
markable degree and do a tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
fltering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less ex-
ercise, drink less water and often eat more
rich, heavy food, thereby forcing the kid
neys to do more work than nature in
tended. Evidence of kidney trouble, such
as lame back, annoying bladder troubles,
smarting or burning, brickdust or sedi-
ment, sallow complexion, rheumatism,
maybe weak or irregular heart action,
warns you that your kidneys require nelp
Immediately to avoid more serious trou-
BILE.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as kidney and
bladder remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. There is nothing else like it. 1t
is DR.. Kilmer's prescription used in pri-
vate practice and it is sure to benefit you.
Get bottle from your druggist.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation, send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghainton, N. Y, for q
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

while under the general election laws,
judges and clerks are allowed % cents

in these will receive the regular al

tence. A moment later, however, he
had recovered his composure, his
shoulders Strengthened and he walked
back from the judges bench to the
seats inside the courtroom rail where

was granted to give Smith time to ar
range his business affairs before en-
tering the prison.

lesser charge was accepted by the
state because all money obtained by
Smith through his populations in the
state treasurer's office was made good
Despite this stay, Smith was taken
Immediately to the Ramsey county
Jail, where he will probably remain
until he goes to Saltwater. Sitting
beside his wife and daughter in the

81 wish you'd thank my friends for
standing by me in my troubles" he

too. The newspapers treated me very
decently. In considering my case I
want the people to realize the state
has not lost cent through any trans
action of mine. l will take my medi-
cine and l am glad it's all over"
r. c. Pfckit, former clerk in the
state auditors office, assigned to the
state investment board, the man who
was implicated with Smith in the
school fund shortages and whose con-
fession brought Smiths arrest, was
called for trial in Ramsey county dis
trict court at p. m. on an indictment
charging first degree forgery.
Pickit pleaded guilty to forgery in
