IF KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache is sign you have
been eating too much meat,
which forms uric acid.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat. says well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid
which cyerworks the kidneys in their
effo. - filter it from the blood and
they become sort of paraiyZed and
loggy. When your kidneys get slug
gish end clog you must rel;eve them.
like YOU relieve your bowels: remov-
ing all the bcdy's urinous waste, else
you Rave backache, sick headache,
dizzJ SIS; your stomach sours,
tongue coated and when the wealth
err is bad you have rheumatic twinges
The urine is cloudy full of sediment,
channels often get sore, water scalds
and you are obliged to seek relief two
or three times during the night.
Either consult a good, reliable ply
stefan at once or get from your phar-
macist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of wa
ter before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then a;t fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia, and has been used
fer generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize
acids in the urine so it no longer ir-
ritates, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is a life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, can
not injure and makes a delightful,
effervescent lithia- water drink.

DARING PHOTO PLAY
"Where Are Ny Children" at the
Orera House Next Week.

Three months OF phenomenal bust
ness has been registered by Where
Are My Children" that daring photo
play that has been filling the Majestic
Theatre in Boston, four times daily
during that time; and still the interest
is undated; still the throngs fill the
lobby OF the theatre and there is al
ways a line at the box-office.
where Are My Children" will be
seen at apera house three days be-
ginning Monday, Oct 10th.
Three months, and four performan-
ces a day means great many people,
great many thousand people who
have witnessed this wonderful Elm
play. And it means that the play has
some strong attractive power, and
heart interest. And the play has that
heart interest, and is especially APP
peals to women, who constitute the
larger part of the audiences.
The particular heart interest in
where Are My Children is the
inherent love OF children and the
yearning of the childless for the car
esses of baby hands, the prattle OF
childish voices. To the district attor-
ney whose wife has borne him no
children the JOY CT his neighbor in his
little flock is a source Of constant
regret And when he discovers why
he is childless. discovers that his wife
has been cheating him out of these
blessing through her own selfishness
and love OF ease. is it a wonder that
all seems dark to him and he can see
but cherries days ahead and lone
some old age.
That the contributing cause of all
this unhappiness is convicted and
faces long Imprisonment, that sever
al society leaders are shown up in an
unenviable position all this fails to
comfort the district attorney whose
dreams of happiness have vanished.
No children are admitted. Adv.

Attractive Novelties for
the Pretty Dining Table

OLORED embroidered luncheon
sets and very long lace dinner
cloths are the novelties Of the
season in dining room paraphernalia.
The luncheon sets come in blues
greens and combination red and green,
as a rule, though some exceptions are
found in bronze colors. copper reds,
dull yellows and gold. The old fash
!oned Chinese willow design has sprung
into vogue in the colored motifs. and
the Chinese embroidery In blue worked
In Chinese grass linen is a delightful
new dainty.
The most attractive OF both the
breakfast ana luncheon sets are all
white with coiored borders. Three
colors predominate In these--blue
green and yellow though there is a
new plum design in purple and green
that is as attractive as II is novel. 1t
is a regular damask cloth Of white
scroll with the colored border. a green
rose design woven in luncheon and
breakfast sets is also bidding high for
favor.
The prices of the colorcd designs
vary considerably. ranging from below
$50 to $3.50 ana more.
There ale some very pretty effects
