EAT LESS AND TAKE
SALTS FOR KIDNEYS
Take a Glass of Salts if Your Back
Hurts or Bladder Bothers.

The American men and women
must guard constantly against Kid
ney trouble, because we eat too
much and all our food is rich. Our
blood is filled with uric acid which
the kidneys strive to filter out, they
weaken from overwork, become
sluggish; the eliminative tissues
clog and the result is kidney trou-
BILE, bladder weakness and gener-
al decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like Jumps
of lead; your back hurts or the urine
is cloudy, full of sediment or you
are obliged to seek relief two or
three times during the night; it you
suffer with sick headache or dizzy,
nervous spells, acid stomach, or you
have rheumatism when the weather
is bad, get from your pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
tablespoonful in glass of water
before breakfast for 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 and stlmu-
late clogged kidneys; to neutrallze
the acids in the urine so it no longer
is a source of irritation, thus ending
bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot
iniure, makes a delightful effer..
vescent lithia-water beverage, and
belongs in every home, because no
body can make a mistake by having
good kidney flushing any time

 pearance Features

There wifi be entertainment of the va riety that will please the most exacting at Loew's Biiou for the week and some of the best acts in vaudeville and big gest pictures will be included in the pro- gramme. There are 10 big acts billed for the week, all of high grade and two of the greatest screen offerings of to- day. Loews news pictures will give the latest happenings Of interest the world over, and in addition there will be re- productions Of famous cartoons and new comedies. This combination has proved @ winner with the theatre-going people of Birmingham and Loew's Bijou is en- toying a well deserved popularity.
 Another feature that the patrons of Loew's Bijou appreciate and that is they were not called upon by the mana gss- ment to pay any increase of prices be- cause of the war tax. The Loew iriali- agement collects the tax at it's own ex- pense and does not collect from the patrons any more than the actual amount required by the government

CELEBRATED STAGE SPECTACLE, 'sBEN-HURn
 AT THE JEFFERSON MONDAY AND TUESDAY

The outstanding success of the American theatre today is undoubtedly "Ben-Hur," the play founded upon Gen. Lew Wallace's beautiful TO- nance, which comes to the Jefferson tomorrow and Tuesday, with matinee Tues day.
 Plays come and plays go, but this re- iieious story in it's stage expression of flesh and blood remains with the mes sage and appeal that holds the world with magic power. Its hold on human nature was never more convincingly shown than this year when the attention of the public has wrought a business greater than ever, which is a time test that proves quality. The cause will prob- ably be debated to the end of it's ca reer. but to the writer the real, vital spark and sustaining vigor of the won derful play is the religious theme and reverential treatment of the Messiah. The stimulating chariot race with its gall loping horses and the fierce battle be- tween the galleys are tremendously er- fective for the moment, but neither scene takes hold of the deeper feelings of the spectator, while the reverential treatment of the pivotal idea of the savior reaches the soul and fingers in treasured and sweetened memory long after the passing of the affecting scenes.
 There are 250 people in. the swiftly changing scenes and 20 horses take part in the thrilling chariot race. It is the only play Billy Sunday ever indorsed, and he said he wished 1O0,000O00 people could see "Ben-Hur'' A play that sweeps away all records of a dramatic perform ance, with living players, like this, and towers over all for so long must have singular quality, and it is gratifyingein l the proof of a refined taste in the gen 1 eral public.

beaches and the coral islands one toned sand-color; the palms green, deli cately filigreed as though their fronds were cut from plain paper, they are pleasant and restful to the eye. The trip to the Sandwich Islands is the means of displaying some fetchins gowns and gives more opportunity for characteristic and tropical scenery
 One memorable scene has topaz tinted sky, with buff clouds On one side are blue green trees, and on the other 8 greenery yellowy cottage. The single red touch is furnished by a fam ing wicker bird cage and this Is aug mented presently by the entrance of a red clad hunting chorus, which gives this scene it's final touch of beauty.
 One gorgeous scene follows the other in such rapid succession that it is diff ficult to remember them all. The Ha- waiian dancers appear in bright yellow and green costumes, with decorations of brilliant little fruit.
 Originality is invariably the keynote of success and it is undoubtedly the keynote upon which Stop. Look! Lis tenH' has made its undisputed success.
