drink MORE WATER
If KIDNEYS BOTHER
Eat Less Meat and Take Salts
for Backache or Bladder
Trouble.

Uric acid in meat excltes the kid
neys, they become overworked; get
sluggish, ache, and feel like Jumps
of lead. The urine becomes cloudy;
the bladder is irritated, and you may
be obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night. When the
kidneys clog you must help them
flush off the body's urinous waste or
you'll be a real sick person shortly.
At first you feel dull misery in the
kidney region, you suffer from back
ache, sick headache, dizziness, stom-
ach gets sour, tongue coated and you
feel rheumatic twinges when the
weather is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots Of water;
also get from any pharmacist four
ounces Of Jad Salts; take tablespoon
full in glass of water before break
fast for few days and your kidneys
will then act fine. This famous salts
ia made from the acid Of grapes and
lemon Juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for generations to clean
clogged kidneys and stimulate them to
normal activity, also to neutralize the
acids in urine, so 1t no longer is a
source Of irritation, thus ending blad-
der weakness.
lad Salts is inexpensive, cannot In
lure; makes a delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active. Druggists
here say they sell lot Of Jad Salts to,
folks who believe in overcoming kid
ney trouble while 1t Is only trouble.

OHIO STATE COURT
CONSTITUTES TREATY
Relating to the Powers Of Con-
suIs In Reference to Estates
Left without Wills.

COLUMBUS, O., AIN. 26.-Con-
STRUNG an international treaty the
supreme court Of Ohio Tuesday de-
cided that consuls Of foreign nations
have not the exclusive right to act as
administrators of the estates Of their
countrymen who die in the United
States without leaving Wills.
The court gave this ruling in five
cases to determine whether Nicolo
Cerfi, royal Italian yice-consul for
northern Ohio, should displace ad-
administrators already appointed by
the probate court to dispose Of the
estates of deceased Italian subjects,
who died in Ohio.
Cerri contended that under the
treaty beween the United States and
Italy he should be the person to act
as administrator Of the estates In
question. The Trumbull county court
decided in his favor, while the Lor-
rain county court decided against
him. The supreme court holds that
a consul of foreign country is not
vested with an exclusive right to 80
act.

WHAT thin FOLKS SHOULD
DO TO Gain WEIGHT
Good Advice for Thin, Undeyeloped
Men and Women.

Thousands, Of people suffer from
excessive thipness, weak nerves and
feeble stomachs, having tried ladver-
tised ficsh-makers, food-fads, phys
ical culture stunts and rub-on
creams, resigning themselves to life
long skinnlness and think nothing
will make them fat. A recently dis
covered combination Of asslmilative
agents has made fat grow after years
Of thinness, and 1t is also unequaled.
Judging from reports, for repairing
the waste Of sickness or faulty
digestion and for Strengthening the
nerves. This remarkable prapara-
ton is called Sargol. Six strength
giving, fat-producing assimilatiye ele-
ments Of acknowledged merit have
been combined In this preparation,
which is endorsed and used BY prom
inent people everywhere. It Is abso-
lutely harmless, inexpensive and eff
ficint. ! sHg,
A few weeks systematic use Of
sargol should go far to produce fesn
and strength by correcting faults Of
digestion and by supplying nourish-
inghing fats to the blood. II not,
every druggist, who sells It Is ati-
thorized to return the purchase price.
Increased nourishment is obtained
from the food eaten, and the addi-
tional fats, that thin people need are
thus provided. All leading drug
gists sell Sargol and say there Is q
large demand, for,it.
While this new preparation has
from reports given splendid results

Is not recommended to nervous peo-
