BEGIN ON SALTS
At FIRST sign
Of KIDNEY PAIN
WE EAT TOO MUCH MEAT. WHICH
CLOGS KIDNEYS. THEN THE
BACK HURTS.
SAYS GLASS OF SALTS FLUSHES
KIDNEYS AND ENDS 5LAD-
DER IRRITATION.

Uric acid in meat excites the kidneys
they become overworked: get sluggish.
ache. and feel like Jumps of lead. The
urine becomes cloudy: the bladder is
irritated, and you may be obliged to
seek relief two or three times during the
night. When the kidneys clog you must
help them flush off the body's urinous
waste or you'll be real sick person
shortly. At dfst you feel dull misery
in the kidney region. and you suffer
from backache, sick headache, dizziness,
stomach gets sour, tongue coated and
you feel rheumatic twinges when the
weather Is bad.
Eat less meat; drink lots Of water:
also get from any pharmacist four
ounces Of Jad Salts: take a teaspoon
full in a glass of water before breakfast
for few days and your kidneys will
then act fine. These famous salts is
made from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with Hthia, and has
been used for generations to clean clog
ged kidneys and stimulate them to nor
NAL activity, also to neutraliZe the
acids in urine, so It no longer is a
source of irritation, thus ending blad-
der weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-wat drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active. Druggists
here say they sell lots of Jad Salts to
folks who believe in overcoming kidney
trouble while it is only trouble.

BURSTING PIPE OF sPRINkLlNG
SYSTEM CAUSES IMMENSE
DAMAGE AT SIOUX CITY.
LOSS WILL AMOUNT
TO $4,000 OR 100000
Two Floors OF Big Store Flooded With
Water - General Merchandise De-
partments Delueed-Cause Of Break
Unknown - Damage Is Covered by
Insurance.

Sioux Sitv. Nov. IA bursting wa
ter pipe yesterday flooded the rea ~
to-wear department and the general
merchandise department of the Pelie-
tier store affecting goods valued at
sl4O, 900. The loss was estimated by
+. NJ. Pelletier from $4,000 to 100000.
The pipe, two inches in diameter,
was attached 20 the ceiling Of the
ready to-wear cabinets. which are
built along the entire north side OF the
second floor. II was used in connec-
ton with the sprinkler system.
The theory is that the pipe burst
from the pressure Of the ceiling of the
cabinets. While the ceilings IN the
section where the pipe broke are ot
glass cit is believed that the heavy
goods suspended from the ceiling
brought about the break.
Mrs. Beulah Oliver and Miss Kate
Savage, clerks in the ready-to- wear
department, were i'll the cabinets when
the pipe burst. They were drenchea
by the stream before they could escape
Five. Minute Flood.
The stream was shut off in the base
ment five minutes after the break.
During those few minutes the floor on
the second story was Hooded with one
foot of water in some sections. Spout
ing against the walls of the cabinets
the water spread over the stock hung
on adjacent racks
Running thru floor. the water fell
in torrents upon stock on the first
floor, directly below. Material dam
aged on the aEst aGoT included silks
dress goods. blankets and other mer-
chandise. Oilclo-h was quickly spread
over portions of the merchandise. but
heavy damage resulted.
Employees donned boots in order to
wade thru the food on the second loor
Suits and cloaks, which made up mos,
of the apparel in this department, were
taken to the fourth floor TO be dried.
The pressure of the water was more
than 100 pounds, coming from the city
reservoirs. 81
Damage Fully Covered.
The damage, according TO F. NJ. Pei
letter. president of the Pelletier stores,
is covered by insurance.
The greater part Of the goods in
the two departments was drenched"
said Mr.. Pelletter. Some Of the ner-
chandise was only slightly touched by
the water. The value 81 the goods at
fected ranges frcm 31,5,o0o to $40. 600
but the total loss. OF course, will be
smaller. because quantities are still
saiable."
The store will be i1convenienced for
several days on account Of the lack Of
merchandise In the two affected de-
partments said Mr. Pelletier. Orders
for new goods VIII have to be placed
Immediately for the holiday trade, he
said. sF Ell
Clerks fed in panic when the water
pipe burst. The sudden Goar OF the
stream frightened women. who rushed
down stairs for safety.
