The year 1880 was presidential one.
Mark Twain was for General Garfield
and made q number Of remarkable
speeches in his favor. General Grant
came to Hartford during the campaign.
and Mark Twain was chosen to make
the address of welcome. Perhaps no
such address of welcome was ever
made before. He began:

hospitalities Of Hartford. the city Of
the historic and revered Charter Oak.

while Grant himself grimly smiled.
He then spoke Of the general being
now out Of public employment. Of how
grateful to him his country was, and
how It stood ready to reward him "in
every conceivable-inexpensive way"
Grant had smiled more than once
during the speech. and when this sen.
tence came out ct the end bis com.
posure broke up altogether. while the
throng shouted approval. Clemens
made another speech that night at the
opera house-a speech long remember

efforts Of his life.

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

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says a 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 a 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 diseass.-Adv
