No one who is familiar with the

when you start with him over the trail
followed by the fearless Coronado,
that you are not receiving first hand
the truth in regard to the most ex-
traordinary expedition of modern
times.
Actuated by lust for gold, and in
famed by Pizarro's brilliant conquest
of Peru, Conorado and his band left
the City of Mexico early in the year
1910 and started on their two years
search for Ell Dorado, the tabled land
of gold. In his inimitable style and
with beautifully colored stereopticon
slides, DR.. Monsen will introduce you
to the Land of the Zuni, will go with
you through the ruins of a departed
race and to the buffalo country of
the great Southwest. You will stand
on the site of the famous massacre OF
Juan de Zaldivar and be shown the
life and manners of the Indians of
that day.

If KIDNEYS AND
BLADDER BOTHER
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys and
neutralize irritating
Acids.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says a noted author
ity. The kidneys fitted tbs acid from
the blood and pass it on the to blad-
Ger, where it often remains to irri-
tate and inflame, causing a burning,
scalding sensation, or setting up an
irritation at the neck of the bladder,
obliging you to seek relief two or
two times during the night. The suf-
ferrer is in constant dread, the wa
ter passes sometimes with a ,scalding
sensation and is very profuse; again,
there is difficulty in voiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
il, because they can't control urina-
tion. While it is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this is
really one of the most simple ailments
to overcome. Get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from your pharmacist
and take tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast, continue this
for two or three days. This will neu-
tralize the acids in the urine so it no
longer is a source of irritation to the
bladder and urinary organs which then
act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and is used by thousands of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caused
ty uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is
splendid for kidneys and causes no
bad effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, effreves-
cent lithia-water drink, which quickly
relieves bladder trouble. 8
