SALTS FINE FOR
ACHING KIDNEYS
We Eat Too Much Meat, Which Clogs
Kidneys, Then the
Back Hurts.

Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels, get sluggish and
clogged and need flushing occasion
ally, else we have backache and dull
misery in the kidney region, severe
headaches, rheumatic 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
region, get about four ounces Of Jad
Salts from any good drug store here,
take tablespoonful in glass of wa
ter 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
bned with lithia, and is harmless to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate
them to normal activity. 1t also neu-
tralizes the acids in the urnie so it
no lnger irritates, thus ending blad-
der disorders.
Jad Salts is harmless, inexpensive,
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which everybody should
take now and then to keep their kid
neys clean, thus avoiding serious COM
plications.
A we'll known local druggist says
he sells lots of Jad Salts to folks who
believe in overcoming kidney trouble
while it is only trouble.

Fgerer, who is in entire sympathy
with the movement and alive to the
needs of many of our people, assured
me last night that he favored and
would advocate that the city furnish

He believed the other members Of
the council would concur. Of course
il is too late in the season to have
a general vegetable garden. Only a
few varieties can now be raised with
success.
