HEAVY MEAT EATERS
! HAVE SLOW KIDNEYS

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make q mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally,
says a well-known authority. Meat
forms uric acid which excites the
kidneys, they become overworked
from the strain, get sluggish and
fail to filter the waste and poisons
from the blood, then we get sick:
Nearly all rheumatism, headaches,
liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness,
sleeplessness and urinary disorders
come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache
in the kidneys or your back hurts or
if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full
of sediment, irregular of passage
or attended by a sensation of scald-
ing, stop eating meat, and get about
four ounces of Jad Salts from any
pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in
glass of water before breakfast
and in a few days your kidneys will
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid if grapes and lemon
Juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush
and stimulate the kidneys, also to
neutralize the acids in urine 80 it
no longer causes irritation, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; make a delightful effer-
vescent lithia-water drink which
everyone should take now and then
to keep the kidneys clean and &C.
tive and the blood pure, thereby
avoiding serious kidney complica-
tions.-Ady.

(The Philadelphia Public Ledges.)
A Philadelphia dentist had the
nerve to publish a picture Of Wash

"Our first President owed his
wonderful, health to sound teeth"
I assume that the dentist knows
more about teeth than he knows
about history. Washington's teeth
were his one physical defect. They
amounted almost to a facial blemish
when he smiled, and one sour critic
of our first President, who knew

HOlStein Cattle

That there is great demand for
Wisconsin dairy stock, especially Of
the Holstein breed in Kansas and
other southwestern states, is forcibly
illustrated by the recent visit to Wis
cOnSin OF Mr.. Fisk Of LeavenWOrth
Mr.. Fisk bought 101 head of pure-bred
cattle at an average of $685. per head.
These cattle have been shipped to the
Fort Leavenworth tract, a large body
OF land under the supervision of the
government and managed by Mr. Fisk,
formerly general manager of the Fred
PabSt stock farm. Milk from the COWS
purchased is to be used by the United
States government and the herd will
be cared for by the Fort Leaven-
worth prisoners directed by compe-
tent men. While in Wisconsin making
his purchases Mr.. Fisk was material
ly aided by S. E. Jones, the well-known
WatertOwn breeder, who is an excel
lent judge Of stock and has lifetime
experience in handling Holsteins. 1t
is not surprising that Mr.. Jones was
able to secure for Mr.. Fisk such a
splendid shipment of Holsteins To
head this splendid herd a 30-pound
bull was purchased from Fred Pabst,
also son Of Pietertje Maid Ormsby
and another 30-pound bull from John
Irwin Of Minneapolis, Mimi. Mr.. Jones
also sold for this shipment three
daughters of Canary Paul Homestead,
having records ranging from 18-
pound two year Olds to 25-pound three
year olds. The writer recently &C
cepted the invitation of Mr.. Jones to
visit his farm two miles north of Wa
tertown and see Jessie Fobes I'd
Maude Homestead, the famous daugh-
Ter of Homestead Junior De Kol and
one of the living evidences of the SUI
periority Of this great sire. She is not
only a large Individual, possessing
practically all Of the desirable points
in the Holstein conformation, but has
already two records recorded above
80 pounds. At five years of age she
made 31.17 pounds of butter, 1850
pounds milk in seven days; 1884
pounds butter, 2993.7O pounds milk in
81 days. At seven years she made bet
ter than 3O-pound record and 73s
pounds milk. At three years he pro-
duced 2O.05 pounds butter and 66O.1O
pounds milk, which was the worlds
record when made. A son of this we'll
known COW sired by Canary Paul
Fobes Homestead, that has more than
% A. R. O. daughters, is now junior
nerd sire Of Mr.. Jones herd One OF
the remarkable records Of this COW is
that her two seven days records av-
eraged 1926 pounds milk, which is
considerably above 100 pounds OF
milk per. day. Her 30-pound record
was also made with practically an av-
erage of 100 pounds of milk per day
