IF BACK HURTS USE
SALTS FOR KIDNEYS
Eat Less Meat If Kidneys Feel
Like Lead or Bladder
BOthers YOU Meat
Forms Uric Acid

Most folks forget that the Kidneys,
like the bowels, get sluggish and clog
ged and need flushing occasionally,
else we have backache and dull misery
in the kidney region, severe headaches,
rheumatism twinges, torpid liver, acid
stomach, sleeplessness and all sorts of
bladder disorders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney re-
gion get about four ounces of lad Salts
from any good drug store here, take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water be-
fore breakfast for few days and
your kidneys will then act fine. This IA
NOUS salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and is harmless to flush clogged
kidneys and stimulate them to normal
activity. 1t also neutralizes the acids
in the urine so it no longer irritates,
thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive;
makes a delightful efferveseent lithia-
water drink which everybody should
take now and then to keep their kid
neys clean, thus avoiding serious com
plications.
A well known local druggist says he
sells lots of Jad Salts to folks who be
lievc in overcoming kidney trouble

Dimick had something wished on him
when he was made chairman of the com
mittee on consolidation. When he first
came to Salem he had a smile like the
dawning of a Spring morning in the
Willamette valley. 1t looked like 1t
would never come off and il probably
haSn t. A correct diagnosis would prob
ably show it had been driven in and
the hole plugged after it. The attempt
by Multnomah, or someone in that
county to swipe some eleven square
miles Of Clackamas territory started the
smile to ingrowing, and when another
section proposed to take chunk off
old Clackamas big enough TO make a
county Of, the smile also developed
corns and bunionS. Those were small
troubles thouOh compared to the cOh-
solidation business. Just before adjourn
mcnt at noon and night, Dimlck $ voice
can be heard announcing and emphaslZ-
ing the fact that ''the consolidation
committee will meet Immediately upon
adioufnment. and then he goes into
the committees room to wrestle with
innumerable plans for making one
board or commission grow where two
or more found abundant room before.
There are more combinations PGapOsel
than there are on j. Plerpont Morgan 5
safes. The Bateham bill combining six
of the old boards and commissions, it
being senate bill l72, is the most scien-
tific and at the same time the largest
of the proposed mergers. There are
about 30 boards, commissions or offices
in all which are within reach Of the
consolidation people and the reader can
find out how many propositions are be-
fore the Dimick committee by figuring
out how many combinations can be
made of fifty numbers.
Dimick S smile is gone, his shoulders
are bowed as with the weight of years,
and when he says Mr. President, - it
is as a voice from the grave, voice
fairly dripping with tears. Alas! poor
