TWO WINDOWS AT
P. 0. SATISFACTORY

Postmaster Ben s. Hancock is re-
ceiving many compliments as a result
of his action in establishing separate
windows for white and colored pa
irons for the local postofice. Both
white and colored patrons seem
pleased with the new arrangement
which greatly relieves the congestion
during the rush hours. It gives both
white and colored people an equal
status, which was scarcely possible
when only one window was used, and
the convenience Of the change can
hardly be over estimated.
When the second window was first
opened there was some objection
from persons who did not fully under
stand the reasons for the change and
protests were made against what they
considered discrimination. Consider
able publicity was given to the mat
ter in northern papers and protest
was filed with the postal authorities
at Washington. The plan has worked
out so well that it now seems to have
the approval of all patrons of the
postoffice.

CUT OUT MEATS

URIC ACID IN MEAT EXCITES
KIDNEYS AND IRRITATES THE

NOTED AUTHORITY SAYS WE
MUST FLUSH KIDNEYS WITH
SALTS IF BACK HURTS.

We are nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filed with uric acid, says
well-known authority, who warns
us to be constantly on guard against
kidney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork;
they get sluggish; the eliminative It's
sues clog and thus the waste is re-
tanned in the blood to poison the en-
tire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps of lead, and you have
singing pains in the back or the
urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or
the bladder is irritable, obliging you
to seek relief during the night; when
you have severe headaches, nervous
and dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid
stomach or rheumatism in bad
weather, get from your pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
a tablespoonful in glass of water
| before breakfast each morning and in
a few days your kidneys will 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 and stimu-
late clogged kidneys, to neutralize the
acids in urine so it is no longer a
source of irritation, thus ending uri-
nary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful efferves-
cent Whitewater drink, and nobody
can make a mistake by taking a little
occasionally to keep the kidneys clear
and actfve.-Adv.
