CLASS OF SALTS
CLEANS KIDNEYS
If YOUR BACK HURTS OR BLAD-
DER BOTHERS YOU. DRINK
LOTS OF WATER.

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with
a lot of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clean, by flushing them
with mild, harmless salts which re-
moves the body's urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal actlv-
ity. The function of the kidneys IS
to filter the blood. In "a hours they
strain from it 500 grains of acid and
waste, so we can readily understand
the vital Importance of keeping the
kidneys active.
Drink lots of water-you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad salts,
axe a Tablespoonful in a glass OF wa
ter before breakfast each morning Tor
a few days and your kidneys will 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 and sum-
ulate clogged kidneys; also to neu-
tralize the acids in urine so 1t no ION
ger is a source of irritation, thus END
inv bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
lure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia- water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep
their kidneys clean and active. Try
this, also keep up the water drinklnf,
and no doupt you will wonder what be-
came of your kidney trouble and back
ache.

GERMANS TOLD NOT TO
THINK OF PEACE NOW

Rotterdam, Aug. 31.-The Frankfurt
ter Zeitung says:
"The entente's new Balkan plan,
which consists Of Russian and Ruman-
ian cooperation with the operations
from Saloniki, and perhaps Of forced
cooperation by Greece, and which has
for it's object the separation of Bulga-
ria and Turkey from the Central En-
pres as we'll as the destruction Of
Austria Hungary, once more shifts the
center Of gravity of the world war to
the southeast, and the issue of the OPP
erations will perhaps decide the end
of the whole war"
The article concludes with an ap-
peal to the people neither to think
nor speak Of peace at this moment,
but to pursue the new war with all
the force and decision possible.
