MEAT CLOGS KIDNEYS
 THEN YOUR BACK HURTS
Take a Glass of Salts to Flush Kid neys lf Bladder Bothers You-
 Drink Lots of Water.

No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make a mistake by flush ing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which excites the kidneys, they become overworked from the strain, get sluggish and fail to filter the waste and poisons from the blood, then we get sick Nearly aal rheu- matism, headaches, liver trouble, ner- vousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and urinary disorders come from sluggish kidneys.
 The moment you feel dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or at tended by a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat and get about four ounces of lad Salts from any pharmacy; take tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast and in few days y0ur kidneys will act fine. This fa- nous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate the kidneys. also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irrita- tion, thus ending bladder weakness.
 lad Salts is inexpensive and cannot injure; makes delightful efferves- cent Whitewater drink which everyone shouli take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active and the blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney omplications.-Adv

LIQUOR LAWS UP 10
 U. s. SUPREME COURT
PROBABLY MOST IMPORTANT CASE OF KIND IN A DECADE
 JOINT ARGUMENT FILED.

Washington.-Fift southern and western attorneys general joined in filing with the Supreme Court of the United States an argument in support of the West Virginia liquor law pro hibiting the receipt and possession of intoxicating liquors for personal use and of the federal Webb-Kenyon H. quor law prohibiting the shipping of intoxicating liquors into states for use in violation of state laws.
 The attorneys general were Wiley E. Jones of Arizona, Clifford Walker of Georgia, J. H. Peterson of Idaho. George Cosson of Iowa. s. M. Brew ster of Kansas, Ross A. Collins of Mississippi, T. w. Bickett of North Carolina Henry J. Linde of North Da- kota, s. P. Freeling of Oklahoma, George M. Brown of Oregon, Thomas H. Peebles of South Carolina, Frank M. Thompson of Tennessee, John Gar land Pollard of Virginia, w. V. Tan her of Washington and William l.. Martin of Alabama.
 The decision in the West Virginia liquor cases, now before the court for oral argument, is expected to be the most important of it's kind in a de- cade. The cases were to have been argued this week, but the presence 1f only seven justices at the courts sit tings resulted in postponement.
 Tt seems strange at this late day the attorneys general said in their brief Ito hear claim made that the state and national governments guar antee to a citizen the right to possess and receive liquor for personal use quantities."
