MEAT CAUSE OF
LAME BACK
AND KIDNEY
TROUBLE
Take Glass of Salts to Flush Kidneys
if your back is aching.
Noted authority says Uric Acid from
meat irritates the BLADDER.

Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their eff
forts to filter it from the system. Reg
ular eaters of meat must flush the kid
neys occasionally. You must relieve
them like you relieve your bowels; re-
moving all the acids waste and poison,
else you feel a dull misery in the kid
ney region, sharp pains in the back or
sick headache, dizziness, your stomach
sours, tongue is coated and when the
weather IS bad you have rheumatic
twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of
sediment; the channels often get irri-
tated, obliging you to get up two or
three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take a table
spoonful in glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and your kid
neys will then act fine and bladder dis
orders disappear. This famous salts IS
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for generations to clean
and stimulate sluggish kidneys and
stop bladder irritation. Jad Salts is in
expensive; harmless and makes de-
lightful effervescert Whitewater drink
which millions of men and women
take now and then, thus avoiding SER
ious kidney and bladder diseases

Hol0 to Easily Shed
That Bad Complexion

We cannot restore degenerated facial
tissue any more than we can restore a lost

The rational procedure is to remove the
complexion instead-remove the devital-

ever, as the underlying cults is too thin,
too tender. to withstand immediate ex-
posture. Applying ordinary mercolized wax
will gradually absorb the offending cuticle
By degrees, a new, youthful skin appears
soft and delicately tinted as a rose petal
No lady need hesitate to try this. Pro-
cure an ounce of mercolized wax of the

Not a Bite of
Breakfast Until
You Drink Water
Says a glass of hot water and
phosphate prevents iIlness
and keeps US fit

Just as coal, when it burns, leaves
behind a certain amount of incom-
bustible material in the form of ashes,
SO the food and drink taken day after
day leaves in the alimentary canal a
certain amount of indigestible ma
terial, which if not completely elimin-
ated from the system each day, be-
comes food for the millions of bacteria
which infest the bowels. From this
mass of leftover waste, toxins and
ptomaine-like poiSonS are formed and
sucked into the blood.
Men and women who can't get feel
ing right must begin to take inside
baths Before eating breakfast each
morning drink a glass of real hot wat
er with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash out the thirty
feet of bowels the previous days ac-
emulation of poisons and toxins and
to keep the entire alimentary canal
clean, pure and fresh.
Those who are subject to sick
headache. colds, biliousness, constipa-
ton, others who wake up with bad
taste, foul breath, backache rheuma-
| tic stiffness, or have a sour, gassy
stomach after meals, are urged to get
| a quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate from the drug store, and begin
practicing internal sanitation This
will cost very little, but is sufficient to
make anyone an enthusiast on the
subject

Results of Test Made Last Winter by
Springfield People Now
Announced.

In the South, everyone uses Vick'a
VapO-Rub Salve. the external treat
ment for all forms of cold troubles,
but 1t was introduced in Springfield,
Mo, for the first time, last winter.
Naturally the local druggists were
skeptfcal. they had to be shown" that
Vick's Vap-O-Rub really would relieve
most cases of Group in fifteen minutes,
and colds over night. So arrange
ments were made for each druggist to
present complimentary jars of Vap-O-
Rub to a few of his customers, on con-
dition that they give it a thorough
trial. Among the customers of the
J..W. Crank Drug Company were Mr.
John Turner, 1901 N. Campbell St,
Mrs Bert Hume. 1926 Howard ST., and
Mrs Hattie Gibbons, S22 w. Division
St. Their reports are as follows
Mr.. Turner reports-"I and my fam
fly have used Vap-O-Rub for catarrh,
colds in the head, sore throat, and also
in a severe case OF pneumonia l suf-
fered. We found this to be excellent
and our family doctor recommended
its use along with his medicine"
Mrs. Hume writes-FWe have used
Weeks Vap-O-Rub Salve for colds in
the chest and head and find it is fine.
Just rubbed it over the throat and
chest and in a minute it seemed as If
the children breathed easier"
Mrs. Gibbons says she used vick's

LEO ScHNNKER FINED
 IN UNITED STATES COURT.
Norwich Man Must Pay $2o and Spend
 One Day in the Local Jail.

The grand jury in the United States district court at New Haven on Tues : day returned 19 indictments. One against Edward A. Conklin of Meri- den, charged with stealing from the mails, on which he pleaded not guilty, had been returned earlier. The court will come in Thursday afternoon, when the. defendants will be put to plea
 Edgar R. Jones, negro, who drove a wagon for the mail transfer agent in Hartford, arrested for stealing articles from pouches, and registered letters besides upwards of % suits of clothes sent through the mails was sent to Atlanta prison for two years He is 19 years old and did not want to go SC far south. United States District At torney Spellacy had described the case saying that Jones was very bad boy, when it appeared that the prisoner was only 19. c. W. Comstock, who happened to be in the court room. was made guardian ad litem. Jones said the charges were true and so sentence was imposed.
 Leo Schanker of Norwich, charged with perjury in that he svore to being married in applying for naturalization papers, whereas he was only living with a woman, whose husband later got divorce, was fined $2O without costs and given a day in the Norwich jail. At MT. Comstock's request the court set the jail day for next Tues day, as t4s prisoner had scruples about going to jail during the Jewish holiday. Schanker has since married the wom- an. It was pointed cut by MT. sSpella- cy that the seriousness of the case was that had Schanker been naturaIized the woman would have become nat uralined, as she was in effect his com mon law wife.
 Charles A. Ruszenas, 16, of Moosup, was charged with using the mails to defraud. He sent orders to a western mail order house and followed with cheeks drawn in a business college be- tween students in payment The firm accepted two, sending back 6 balance due, as :he orders were less than the face of the checks. On large orders and checks they became suspicious. Ruszenas cashed the, firm checks, se- curing the balances. MT. Spel1acy said the boy was bad one. The father, who has six children, thought the lad would not be bad any more. Judge Thomas said that the father evidently had not kept close enough watch on the lad and did not realize the seri- ousness of the case. A fine of s2O without costs, which the father paid. and three months in jail were imposed on the lad.
 Frank Kzanowski, alias Miller. charged with securing and cashine a pension check for Frank Miller, a Civil war veteran of Bridgeport, described as bad man, who had three times been courtmartialed' and dishonorably discharged in the United States army. was given six month in Bridgeport jail.

Public Utilities Takes Up Matter of
 Complaints of Service.

The public utilities commission bav- ing received a number of complaints that the service of the Shore Line Electric Railway Co. has not been satisfactory, held a conference with of ficers of the company Monday, says a Hartford despatch. One of those com plaints come from the Essex Light and Power Co.,. and another from residents of Madison. The commits sion decided to ask the officials of the company just what the trouble was. .Ea 4T za:
 The operation of the plant is in the hands of the J. G. White Co.,. of New York, which was represented by J. G. R. Choate vice president, and P. Ripley, railway engineer of the con- pany. R.. w. Perkins, president of the Shore Line Electric Co.,, and General Manager Callaghan were also in at tendance.
 From the statements made it seem ed that the trouble was caused by the disintegration of the boilers of the plant at Saybrook. On Aug 12 the boilers were examined by inspectors of the insurance company with which they were insured and pronounced all right. A few weeks later the tubes in the boiler began to disfntegrate. The boilers were declared to be all right in July and in few weeks they went all to pieces, said Commissioner Hale. General Manager CalIaghan said the company had spent s11 900 during the past summer in repairs

FINE COMMANDING FIGURES.
Mime. Clara Butt and signor FoIi.

Surrounded by flowers from the gar den that he loves, MT. Percy Harrison sat in his office in Birmingham yester- day (Sept. 9thl and gave, in an inter view with representative of the Lon don (Eng) Observer, his recollectlons of famous artists who have played and sung in concerts in all parts of the country under his direction during the past fifty years. From the gallery of portraits on the walls these artists looked down upon us as we talked. They call him variously Daddy" The Boss" Uncle" and "Grandad.'' An early portrait of Mime. Clara Butt is inscribed ''To Daddy from Baby" and Miss Ada Crossley's "To my cunning old Grandad.'' To others, like Fade rewski, he is ''The Bishop" which is, perhaps, more in harmony with his appearance, the celebrated pianist ded- icating his picture ITO my dear Bishop, with pious devotion"
 Christine Nilsson, Alhani and Melba also came under the direction of Mir. Harrison. Mime. Melha, besides Being a great singer, has impressed him most, he said, as "a woman of the world, with great intellectual gifts.' Mime. Albani went to him very early in her career He also practically brought out Mme Clara Butt, who met her husband, MT. Kennerley Runford, for tEe first time on one of the Harrison tours. "She is too we'll known. MT. Harrison said, "to need any description. She possesses the most glorious voice of the century. Signor F'o.i, who used to sing on the same tours with her, had just the same glorious voice as a bass as she has as a contrafto. They were two fine commanding figures, and peo pie used to turn round in the street to look at them"
 The late Signor F'o1i was an uncle of Mrs. Archibald Mitchell of Norwich.
