LESS MEAT # BACK.
AND KIDNEYS HURT.
Take a Glass of Salts to Flush Kid
neys If Bladder Bothers
You.

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says a we'll known awnor-
ity, because the uric acid in meat ex.
cites the kidneys. they become over
worked; get sluggish; clog up and
cause all sorts Of distress, particular
ly backache and misery in the kidney
region; rheumatic twinges, severe
headaches, acid stomach, constipa-
ton, torpid liver, sleeplessness, blad-
der and urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or
kidneys aren't acting right, or If blad-
der bothers you, get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take a tablespoonful in glass Of wa
ter before breakfast for few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, CON-
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 initiates,
thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone:

and women take now and then to

for Many Mlshaps-In
Several Colors.

Every school room in the city will
soon be supplied with a safety first
calendar, gift from the Keokuk Elec-

campaign for children.
An order for these calendars has
been sent in to the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit company for whom the calen-
dars were originally made, and the
order is expected here shortly.
Some time ago one Of the calendars
was received here from the Brooklyn
company as gift. For each month
there was large picture showing how
children are injured by street cars,
automobiles and wagons by careless
ness. These posters were displayed in
the Keokuk Electric company window
for some time and attracted the at
tention Of many Keokuk people.
J. P. 1ngle. manager Of the Keokuk
Electric company, decided that the
calendar would be a good one for the
schools, so wrote ordering one hun
dred. The Brooklyn Rapid Transit
company had the calendars made es-
pecially for its own use, but they have
proven Of so much value that num-
Der of public service corporations
throughout the country have ordered
them for display purposes. They have
been supplied at cost. The calendars
are in several cOlors, will have the
name OF the Keokuk Electric company
printed on them and will record from

EAT A SQUARE MEAL AND
NOT FEAR INDIGESTION

There are hundreds of people in
Keoku!I who were not the least bit
surprised when they read a while ago
that druggists are now selling Mona
on q guarantee to refund the money
in case it did not relieve. This re-
markable dyspepsia remedy has
proved it will relieve the worst case
Of indigestion, headache, dizziness, or
the general played-out condition that
afflicts every one suffering with stom-
ach trouble. Mi-o-na does not simply
relieve. it aims to cure.
There is hardly a druggist but can
tell you of many well-known peopse
in this city who this remedy has re-
stored to health, often after they
have tried many other methods OF
treatment with little or no benefit.
We really believe no other dyspepsia
remedy has made so large percent
age of cures as Mi-o-na. 1t is SO
| large that dealers who have sold it
! for years stand ready to refund the
price to any customer whom it does
not help.
; The best kind Of advertising Is the
praise Of pleased customer, and
there are hundreds today prasing Mi
o-na because it has done for them
what it is advertised to do. A few
months ago they could eat nothing
without wondering what the result
would be. Since using Mona, they
| eat what they want and when they
want with no fear Of suffering. This
medicine comes in the form Of tab
let and is very pleasant to take. 1t
speedily and permanently relieves al
most all forms of stomach misery and
is the only one sold under posi-
tive guarantee without any restric-
ton, to refund the money If it does
not relieve. You can get Mi-o-na on
this basis from Wilkinson & Co. or
any leading druggist in Keokuk.

lows:
THE president is disposed to sup
port the contention that merchant
ships have the right to arm for defen-
sive purposes.
what is defense, he does not say
and l do not know. Furthermore his
attitude is, as l understand it, that ii
a German submarine should attack
merchantmen and if American citizens
should suffer, he would hold the Ger
mn government strictly to account
and if the German government persist
ed in its course, he would call the
matter to the attention Of congress,
the war-making body Of the govern
ment.
"My opinion is mature and my
sense of duty is imperative. My view
point is that if a merchant vessel Is
armed and if in transporting NUM-
tons or contraband or troops it Is
in every fundamental sense war
ship.
But with the aid Of congress the
president would be able to bring both
Germany and Great Britain to terms
and relieve the acute situation.

situation, Stone requested that con-

Another reason was to, give Chairman
