EATLESS MEATS
IF BACK HURTS
Tage a Glass Of Salts to Flush Kid
neys If Bladder Bothers You
Drink Lots of Water.

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some
form or other, says a well-known
authority, because the uric acid in
meat excites the kidneys. they be-
come overworked; get sluggish I;
clog up and cause all sorts of dis
tress, particularly backache and mis-
cry in the kidney region; rheumatic
twinges, severe headaches, acid
stomach, constipation, torpid liver,
sleeplessness. bladder and urinary
irritation.
The moment your back hurts or
kidneys aren't acting right, or IL
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 dys 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 ben used for generations
to flush clogged kidneys and stimu-
late them to normal activity; also
to neutralize the acids in the urine
so it no longer irritates, thus end
ing bladder trouble.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
millions of men and women take
now and then to keep the kidneys
and urinary organs clean, thus
avoiding serious kidney disease

ing notice to the public:
Arrangements have been perfected
whereby the Christmas mail to the
American Expeditionary Forces In

mas morning. Without the fullest
cooperation on the part of the pub
lie 1t will be impossible to accomplish
this result.
The three essential respects in

happy Christmas at the front are
Mail early, address intelligentIy. and
pack securely. For this reason It is
urgently requested that all persons
having Christmas mail for the SOL
diers and sailors and the civilian

tons:

tionary Forces in France, is u cents
