# 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 gen
orally means you have been eating too
much meat, says a well-known authority.
Meat forms uric acid which overworks
the kidneys in their effort to filter it
from the blood and they become sort of
paralyzed and logg. When your kidneys
get sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels; re-
moving all the body's urinous waste,
else you have backache, sick headache,
dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue
is coated, and when the weather is bad
YOU have rheumatic twinges. The urine
is cloudy, full of sediment, channels oiten
get sore, water scalds and you are obliged
10 seek relief two or three times during
the night
Either consult a good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharmacist
about four ounces OF Jad Salts; 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, combined with hthia,
and has been used for generations to
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to nsutralize acids in the urine 80 1t
no longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is a life saver for regular
meat eaters. It Is inexpensive, cannot
iniure and makes q delightful, efer-
yescent hthis-wstef drink

Record Up To Date
AMERICAN IDEALS AND
WEAKNESSES.
publicity Department American
Bankers Association)

publicity Department American
Bankers Association.)
Pinions may differ materially as
to what is the leading motive in the
life of the average American and what
the leading ideal. We have been
charged with being a nation of mate
rialists, bent on getting money, get
ting money all the time and all we
can of it-not to save particularly, but
to spend. Our aim is not to save
more, but to earn more. II we can
not have what we want, we do not
do without, but work harder for it.
We believe in gauging our pleasures
by the cost and not the satisfaction
wwe get out of them. When we
make up our minds that we have been
foolish and frittered away our pos
sessions. we try to recoup. not by
spending less. but by earning more.
II must be admitted that we can,
as a people. make money. We can
save only a small part in comparison
with other nations, but we do have
the knack Of getting 1t. The salaries
paid our officials and leading business
men would make some European
princes envious. and the wages OF
American workmen have attracted
hordes Of European laborers to our
shores
No one denies that we make mon
ey. but is that the leading motive in
American life? The questions: What
in your opinion are the leading ideals
of the men with whom you associ-
ate?" and What do you consider to
be the chief noints of weakness in
American life?" were put to about
one hundred leading men-lawyers,
bankers. editors. business men. farm
ers. scientists and others. and the re-
plies show that forty-six consider
service to ones fellows TO he the
leading ideal. while twentv.eight
think the making Of money for self
ish enjoyment or personal power is
the leading motive.

Auditor liaeorman' report shows
that unto il livery stable owning
commissioner is granted even another
way of making taxpayers recall
elections of regret that such a
thing ever was. The records show
that during August, 1914. the sum
of $37 was paid to elem Larguc for
horse hire. Mr.. Largue is manager
of commissioner Pou's livery stable
business. The amount was paid dur
ing the recall election period. For
what was it spent? Was Mr.. Largue
transporting monkeys and seals to
the municipal menageric or was he
hauling voters to within about a
block of thepolls? You know it is
against the law to haul en- to" the
polls but it says nothing about haul
ing them to within about a block of
the place and dropping them,
Another feature of Auditor lIagcr-
man S report is the disclosure that a
city commissioner who happens to
own livery stable can make trades
that would hardly be possible if the
said commissioner had no Official af-
fiiations Two transactions record
ed on the books bear out this asser-
ton.
There is recorded the sum of SIS
that was paid Commissioner Frank
r. Pou for mule, coupled with the
statement that Commissioner POu
also received horse for the mule
This amount is paid out of the gen
eral fund. when the nature Of the
transaction would indicate that the
payment should have been made (if
