MEAT INJURIOUS
TO THE KIDNEYS
Take a Tablespoonful of Salts if
Back hurts or Bladder bOthers
Meat forms uric acid.

We are a nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid, says
a well-known authority, who warns
us to be constantly on guard against
kidney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid. but
become weak from the overworll; they
get sluggish; the eliminative tissues
clog and thus the waste is retained in
the blood to poison the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps of lead, and you have
singing pains in the back or the urine
is cloudy, full of sediment, or the
bladder is irritable, obliging you to
seek relief during the night: when
and dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid
stomach or rheumatism in bad wealth.
er, get from your pharmacist about
tablespoonful in a glass of water be-
fore breakfast each morning and in
few days your kidneys will 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 and stimulate
clogged kidneys, to neutralize the
acids in urine so it is no longer a
source of irritation, thus ending uri-
nary and bladder disorders
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful efferves-
cent Whitewater drink, and nobody
can make a mistake by taking a little
occasionally to keep the kidneys clean
and active.--Advertisem

OWE LIVES TO HORSES
Chicago Scientist Has New Serum to
Prevent Infantile Paralysis.

Chicago, Jan. 19.-Many babies in
Chicago next fall will owe their lives
to two horses. DIR. John w. Nuzum,
resident pathologist at the Cook
county hospital, who developed a new
and efficient serum for the cure of in
fantile paralysis. is relying on horses to
obtain enough serum to meet an cpl
demic which, it is feared, will break
forth in Chicago this summer.
Two young and virile horses have
been obtained and they will be inn
munized. From them enough of Doc
tor Nuzum's serum, "Poliomytelitis."
will be developed to cure 1000 cases
of the disease. 1t will take about
three months to get the necessary
serum. Heretofore sheep have been
used but Doctor NuZum declares that
to obtain large supply of the serum
horses will be necessary. Doctor MI
yum declared tonight that the serum
has proved satisfactory so far, but thai
it would take a great number of cases
breaking forth at once to really gauge
its worth

tions of the modern tendency Of the banks of the country towards perfect co operation when cooperation. even to the extent of unification, is needed. Fur thermore, this experience demonstrates that if there be money power, 1t is one which the people can rely upon for serving just ends There is no money trust in the sense in which the term was formerly used. There never will be one under the present federal reserve banking system.
 Only with respect to the magnitude of the financing which the subscriptions to the second liberty loan represent does New York stand apart from the other financial centers of the United States. With one or two exceptions, all the fed eral reserve district marched in true and rythmic step to the movement in New York city and maintained a pres tige which, compared with their re- sources, is fully as great as Is the pres tige secured in this second federal re- serve district. But in no other district. so far as Is known, have the banks come together In cooperation and placed resources of hundreds of millions at the disposal of a small money committee for the purpose of amply assuring business interests that they could rely upon their usual banking accommodations.

 Children should be taught to stay on the sidewalks when there is no other place for them to play. They should never be permitted to play in the streets, or to cross the streets while playing. Absorbed in their games, they do not notice the ap- preaching trolley car, even though the motorman is ringing his gong, while the swift, silent automobile is apt to run them down before they know of it's presence. When children run in front of advancing cars and vehicles, it is frequently impossible to stop in time to save them from in jury and death.
 A great responsibility rests on parents in this matter. They them selves are to blame if their children are sacrificed.
