MORGAN WAS PREPARED

When j. P. Morgan died he had TO
leave behind him 1888 worth of Gig
ars, $4i,734 worth of liquor and $174,-
$50 worth of watches These figures
were revealed by the appraisal of his
estate and will give the ordinary man
a better idea of how rich Morgan was
than the statement that his total es-
tate was valued at $7S,149,024. If
Morgan could have taken all his Gig
ars with him, and smoked one nice,
fat cigar every evening after dinner
with Noah or some other fellow, it
would take him fifty years to finish
up the lot. Did j. P. believe in pre-
paredness? He did Exchange.

EAT LESS MEAT
AND TAKE SALTS
IF KIDNEYS HURT
Says a tablespoonful of Salts
flushes Kidneys, stopping
Backache.
Meat forms Uric Acid, which
excites Kidneys and Weakens
Bladder.

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says a well-known authority,
because the uric acid in meat exciues
the kidneys, they become overworked;
get sluggish; clog up and cause all
sorts of distress, particularly back
ache and misery in the kidney region;
rheumatic twinges,. severe headaches
acid stomach, constipation, torpid
liver, sleeplessness. bladder and urin-
ary 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 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, COM
bined with lithia and has been used for
generations to flush clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to normal activity;
also to neutralize the acids in the
urine so 1t no longer irritates, thus
ending bladder disorders.
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.
