The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trou-

our food is rich. Our blood is filed
with uric acid which the kidneys
strive to filter out, they weaken from
overwork, become sluggish; the elimi-
native tissues clog and the result Ia
kidney trouble, bladder weakness and
a general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like Jumps

is cloudy, full of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night; If you suffer
with sick headache or dizzy, nervous
spells, acid stomach, or you have rheu-
matism when the weather is bad, get
from your pharmacist about four
ounces of Jad Salts; take table,
spoonful in glass of water before
breakfast for few days and your kid
neys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid Of grapes
and lemon Juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to

to neutralize the acids in the urine so
1t no longer is source of irritation,

THE NEWEST REMEDY FOR
BACKACHE, RHEUMATISM AND DROPSY

Kidney, Bladder and Uric Acid trou-
bles bring misery to many. When
the kidneys are weak or diseased,
these natural filters do not cleanse
the blood sufficiently, and the poisons
are carried to all parts Of the body.
There follow depression, aches and
pains, heaviness, drowsiness. irrita-
bility, headaches, chilliness and rheu-
matism. In some people there are sharp
pains in the back and loins, distressing
bladder disorders and sometimes obsti-
nate dropsy. The uric acid sometimes
forms into gravel or kidney stones
When the uric acid affects the muscles
and joints 1t causes lumbago, rheuma-
tism. govt or sciatica. This is the time

BUSINESS ON SUNDAY CLOSING.

BUSINESS ON SUNDAY CLOSING.
Heads of the big industrial con-
Germs of Chicago see very direct re-
lation between the enforcement Of
the Sunday-closing law and the phys
ical and mental condition of their en-
ployees on Mondays, and naturally
they are. not inclined to agree with the
liquorites' caustic criticism of the pur-
itanical, undemocratic law and its en-
forcement. The men who manage the
great industries tell US that Sunday
drinking has meant lessened effi-
cheney, decreased mental and moral
stamina, deprecated physical vigor
and the wasting Of money and conse-
quent worry over financial conditions
'Our workmen now come to the
plants ON Monday morning with clear
heads and rested bodies" said a fore
man of Armour and Co., the big pack
ing house. 1T was the complaint of
all packers before the saloons were
closed that many Of the men either
did not show up at all on Monday or
reported with hangovers' that re-
duced their efficiency 80 per cent dur
ing the day, and affected 1t for sew
eral days thereafter. Now the men
are on hand Monday morning with
steady muscles, rested bodies and
minds, fit for their tasks
"Our workmen were all on hand last
Monday for the first time in years"
said one of the foremen of the Illinois
Steel company, the week after the
Sunday-closing law was enforced.
When we asked them what caused
the change they said they had moth
ing TO do Sunday but rest for Mon
day. Besides, most of them had
enough of their wages left not to need
to ask for advances before the next
week ended"
"The closing of the saloons Is boon
to industry" said one of the depart
ment managers of the International
Harvester works. when the en-
ployees have had time to note its ef-
feet, they will give 1t their heartiest
support"
1.-THE direct effect on the building
trades is that about rs per cent more
workmen were on hand last Monday
than at any time during the period
have been handling large numbers OF
workmen," said member of the Con.
tractors Association Of Painters and

Arizona's prohibition law went into
effect January. 1915. A booklet issued
in the state detailing results tells Of de-
crease in criminal costs and increase
in building and in bank deposits.
In one county the increase in the
value of taxable household goods is
nearly half the taxable value Of the
liquor stock last year. The value Of
household goods plus the value Of au-

became effective almost equals the
total amount of liquor stocks in that
