MEAT CAUSE OF
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take Salts to flush Kidneys il
Back hurts or Bladder
bOthers.

II you must have your meat every
day. eat 1t. but flush your kidneys with
salts occasionally. says noted au-
thority who tells US that meat forms
uric acid which almost paralyzes the
kidneys in their efforts to expel 1t from
the blood. They become sluggish and
weaken, then you suffer with a dull
misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in the back or sick headache,
dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue
is coated and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy. full Of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irfitated,
obliging you to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush OFF the
body's urinous waste get four ounces
of Jad Salts from any pharmacy here /;
take tablespoonful in glass of wa
ter 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, combined with
lith.a. and has been used for genera
tions to flush and stimulate sluggish
kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in
urine. So it no longer irritates, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure, and makes a delightful efferves-
cent lithia water drink.

COLBY COLLEGE

The Colby football squad held one of
the best and most encouraging practices
of the season yesterday afternoon. There
was large squad out, more than enough
for two full teams, and some lively
scrimmage resulted. The work Of the
first days this week helped to eliminate
some of the faults which were so appar-
ent in the game last Saturday, especially
in the forming of interference for the
backs. Coach Smith paid special atten-
ton to a few lnemen, correcting some
of the mistakes they have been making.
After this preliminary work came tina
scrimnage, and the manner in which the
first team backs tore through the opposi-
ton was the most pleasing sight seen on
the field this season.
