SALTS If BACKACHY
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Drink lots Of water and stop eating
meat for while If your Bladder
troubles you

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 well-nown authority.
Meat forms uric acid which overworks
the Kidneys In their effort to filter il
from the blood and they become sort of
Paslyzed and loggy. When your kidneys
get sluggish ard 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
u coated, and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The urine
e cloudy, full of sediment, channels often
get sore, water scalds and you are obliged
q seek relief two or three times during
The night
Either consult good, reliable physi-
elan at once or get from your pharmacist
about four ounces of Jsd Salts; take
. tablespoonful In & 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 neutralize acids in the urine so it
no longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is a life saver for regular
meat eaters tt is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes delightful, eifer-
rescent Whitewater drink.

n SHOOK HIS NERVES.
IN Incident That Made a Man Feel
Queer For Awhile.


Zone night" said a LAWYER, 81
vas preparing some tedious plead
tngs which had to be submitted to
court the following morning, and,
knowing that I would need every
moment of my time, I locked my
self in a small private consu ZION
room in the rear of my suit, Where
no chance caller could interrupt me
The room is very dimirutive, with
only one window, looking into a
court, and no furniture except a
table and two or three chairs. Well
l worked on steadily hour after
hour long after the city had settled
into sleep and silence. The build
ing was so still ! could hear even an
occasional mouse scamper across
the floor alone. At last / concluded
The task and, sitting erect in my
chair, began to stretch my cramped
limbs.
"As l did so my eyes happened
to fall on a lighted cigar stump ly-
ing on the carpet not four feet
away, and l stopped stock still, fro
zen with amazement- l do not
smoke. l had been sitting for hours
in that little locked room. / could
swear that no one had entered: The
window was tightly closed, yet there
right at my feet lay a half con-
sumed cigar with great live coal
still glowing at the end. 1t seems
ridiculous to confess, but a thrill OF
horror ran through me like a gal
sanic shock. A hallucination of any
kind is an appalling thing; it makes
no difference how grotesque or
homely the subject. 1t carries such
frightful suggestion of breakdown
In ones mental engine room.
"Weu, l finally summoned up
enough nerve to stoop down and ex-
anime the stump, and what do you
think it was? Why. tin foil cap
sule from the top of an ordinary
quart bottle of mucilage. In strip
ping it of it had assumed the cir.
cular twist of cigar and, the foil
being brown, was just the right col
or. The red seal at the top formed
the coal, and 8 yard or so away the
illusion was perfect. l drew deep
breath of relies. but it was actually
several days before my nerves re
sumed their formal tension."-

"dry" paper AS the state OF Washing
ton only voted for prohibition by 49,
600 majority, opponents OF the Anti
Saloon League declare that citizens
are dissatisfied with their brief expert

Washington state officially became
"dry" last January l. Since that time
there has been a shocking increase in
drunkenness and crime.
Another story from the Seattle Star,
says:
March shows a startling increase in
the number of arrests for drunkenness.
Express shipments show more than
one-third Increase over February.
Violators continue to trifie with she

sidered the most "air-tight" anti-liquor
law in operation has proved inadequate

March was a blustery month for The
prohibitionists.
Not only did drunkenness increase
over the previous month, but 1t exceed
ed the two previous months, and more
than doubled the February record.
The squad of tipplers who found
their way into the police station dur
ing March numbered 294. During Feb
ruary the number was III. and during
January only "a.
The record for March, as matter
OF fact, is only GO lower than that o.

The records in the auditors office a
the courthouse show that in January

state were issued.
In February the number increased
TO 1869. and In March 10 $3.50.
Beer Shipments Increase.
March beer shipments into the stat

it was necessary to effect a thrill

In Rosemary" Mr.. Bacon has the
role of Professor Jogram, n part
he has longed to play. When John

Mr.. Bacon for this part. But the

he was unable to accept Mr.. Drew's

DRUG STORES

Once the first of the year, IS new drug
- stores have sprung up in King county,
according to county officials. A good many
of these have been established in the city.
ALL these new drug stores cannot be sup
ported legitimatey No man can conscien.
tiously or in reason believe that all Of them
are on the square.
There is no beating about the bush.
Great quantities of liquor are being sold
and some of the old drug stores as well as
some of the new ones are making farce of
the prohibition law.
Drunkenness in Seattle is becoming al
most as common as it was before the state
went dry.
The people of this state voted for the pro-
hibition law. 1t is not the square thing to
wink at this open violation of the law. 1t is
un-American and unprincipled. 1t is detri-
mental to public peace and to private bust
ness. 1t serves to keep up an agitation over
the "booze" question that should be, by this

not afford to be eternally bothered with
