LESS MEAT IF BACK

Eating meat regularly eventually pro
duces kidney trouble in some form OF

cause the uric acid in meat exctes the
kidneys, they boone overworked; get
sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts OF
distress, particularly backache and mis-
cry in the kidney region; rheumatic
twinges, severe headaches, acid stomach,
constipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness,
bladder and urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy; take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water be-
fore breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them
to normal activity; also to neutralize
the acids in the urine so it no longer IL
ritates, thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone; makes
a delightful efrervescent lithia water
drink, which millions of men and women
take now and then to keep the kidneys
and urinary organs clean, thus avoiding
serious kidney disease.-Adv.

WHAT OUR SOLDIERS NEED.


The published announcement that the
soldiers now in mobilization camps in
New England and over other parts of
the country are dependent upon the Red
Cross society or some other organization
for contributions of sweaters, wristers,
trench caps, etc, inasmuch as the L. s.
war department has discontinued the is
suing of such articles, will be calculated
to spur the Red Cross branches in every
town or city to renewed efforts to make
good the supply to meet the demand. 1t
is said on authority of the officers of the
Red Cross that the soldiers are in great
need of sweaters, while there also is in
sistent demand for other articles of wear
ing apparel which can be made in the
hoines or in the sewing bees. Already
the busy workers in the Red Cross
branches have turned out great quanti-
ties of these articles, the women having
been very diligent in the undertaking;
but the military forces of the govern
ment are increasing in such rapid fash
ion that the work devolving upon these
patriotic societies is even greater than
before. Therefore, it is to be hoped that
the women who already are members of
the Red Cross branches will continue
their occupation of knitting for the sol
diers and seamen and that thousands
more women will hurry to lend their Co
operation in the fine work. 1t is prob
able that there will be use for all they
can turn out for months to come
