LESS MEAT IF BACK
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Take a Glass Of Salts to Flush
Kidneys If Bladder BOthers
YOu---Drink Lots Of Water

Eating meat regularly eventually pro-
duces kidney trouble in some form or
other, says a well known authority, be-
cause the uric acid in meat excites the
kidneys, they become overworked get
sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of
distress, particularly backache and mis-.
cry in the> kidney region; rheumatic
twinges, severe headaches, acid stom-
ach, constipation, torpid liver, sleepless-
ness, bladder and urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces Of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take 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
lithia, and has been used for generations
to flush clOgged kidneys and stimulate
them to normal activity; also to neu.
tralize the acids in the urine so it no
longer irritates, thus ending bladder dis,
orders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia.
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then to keep the
kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus
avoiding serious kidney disease.

Committee Recommends
Brandeis' Confirmation

Washington, May 24.-The senate
judiciary committee today recommended
confirmation of Louis D. Brandeis as
associate justice of the United States ,
supreme court. The vote was 10 to 8
ON straight party lines. Senator Chields
of Tennessee voted with the other
democrats in favor of confirmation.
Friends of Brandeis are iubilant.
They forecasted that the floor division
of the senate would be similar to the
committee vote and make Brandeis a
winner by an easy margin. Cummins
was absent from committee when the
vote was polled, but his ballot was
counted for Brandeis.
A protracted fight in the senate is
expected on Brandeis. The matter of
his appointment is likely to be reached
within week, with a long drawn out
debate and a possible filibuster.
Backers of the appointment of Trade
Commissioner Rublee, held up by the
senate, are expected to seize this op-
portunity to urge that his name again
