SALTS IF KIDNEYS
OR BLADDER BOTHER
Harmless to flush Kidneys and neutral
ize irritating acj ls-Splendid
for system.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder, where
it often remains to irritate and inflame,
causing burning, scalding sensation, or
setting up an irritation at the neck OF
the bladder, obliging you to seek relief
two or three times during the night.
The sufferer is in constant dread, the
water passes sometimes with a scalding
sensation and is very profuse; lin,
there is difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call it,
because they can't control urination.
While it is extremely annoying and some
times very painful, this is really one of
the most simple ailments to overcome.
Get about four ounces OF Jad Ealts
from your pharmacist and take a tablf-
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast, continue this for two or three
days. This will neutralize the acids in
the urine so it no longer is a source OF
irritation to the bladder and urinary Or
gans which then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
is used by thousands of folks who are
subject to urinary disorders caused by
uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is splen-
did for kidneys and causes no bad
effects whatever.
Here you have pleasant, effervescent
lithia-water drink, which quickly relieves
bladder trouble.

WRONG MAN GETS PAPERS
Divorce Summons Intended for Nc
eress Goes to White Wife

Louisville, Ky.-Through an order
by Judge Samuel b. Kirby, divorce
attorneys must incorporate in the cap
ton of the petition whether the par.
ties to the cases are white or negro.
Unless such information is placed in a
prominent position the clerk in charge
of the suit desk in the office of the
Circuit Court will refuse to issue pro
cesses in the case.
This ruling was brought about thru
the action of deputy from the Sher.
ifs office, in serving a summons In
n divorce case on a white woman
when IL should have been served on
a negro woman of the same name. AT
ter being served with the notice the
woman whose husband was out of
town on business, tearfully told him of
the notice that had been served on
her. She said that there had never
been-any trouble between he and he
husband and she was unable to &C
count for his action. It was not until
his return a few days later that the
situation was cleared up to the salts
faction of the wife.

about one minute to go through this

The plant is about one foot in height
and is of dark, lustrous green color
The plant is said to be of a very hardy
growth. Mr.. Adams, who is leaving

Sales Of More Than $1,000, 900 In Feu:

st. Louis, Mo.-The worlds great
central fur market has shifted. n US
ed to be In London. England. 1t is
now In st. Louis The million dollar
fur sale held here recently, at the
Funston Fur Exchange. announced
this new era In the fur business.
What this achievement means to
the United States can best be realized
by noting the effect on the great trad
ers who control the worlds fur busi-
ness. They were all there. All the
large fur houses OF France, Russia,
Germany and other European coun-
tries, as well as those OF Canada and
the United States. had their expert
buyers on the floor OF the exchange.
Over 300 of them came In a special
train of their own.
The bidding was spirited and CON-
petition keen. In the four days Of the
sale over a million dollars worth OF
furs changed hands.
The scene on the exchange floor
was not unlike legislative chamber.
Each of the 800 expert buyers sat be.
hind his own desk facing the elevat-
ed court like bench OF the auctioneer
Pages and messenger boys scurried
about. The selling was rapid-and ex-
citing. A bid of dollar might actual
ly be a bid of a thousand If the lot
CHANGED to be one in which there Were
a thousand pelts. In the same way,
1O-cent raise might easily mean cool
hundred dollars. Yet the buyers, sea
soned veterans, took all the excite
ment calmly enough, tho the sale OF
single pair of silver fox skins for
$2,350 did bring a ripple of applause.
For such skins to bring $3.50 and
$1,000 was a mere nothing. The furs
OF fifteen different countries were rep.
resented at all kinds Of prices-from
6 cents upward. The prices for the
fur of common blue and black house
cats went up as high as 46 cents each
and the demand was lively. On the
whole, the prices commanded were
high, in some cases showing an adj
vance of 80 per cent over last year.
Domestic skins from American trap
pers were much in evidence
Among the buyers present were ex-
perts representing Goetz Freres, Par
