HEAVY MEAT EATERS
HAVE SLOW KIDNEYS
Eat less meat if you feel Backachy or
have bladder troub1e-Take
glass of Salts

No man or woman who eats meat regu-
1arly can make a mistake by flushing the
kidneys occasionally, Gays a well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
excites the kidneys, they become over
worked 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 sedi-
ment. irregular of passage or attended by
a sensation of ecalding, stop eating meat
and get about four ounces Of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast and in a few days your kidneys
will 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 and stimulate
the kidneys, also to neutralize the acids
in urine so it no longer causes irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness
Jad Salts is Inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
), kidneys clean and active and the BLOOD
pure, thereby avoiding serious Edne,
; complications.

ISOLATION during these lonely hours of
sorrow and sadness and be resigned to
His holy will, for it was His will, not
ours, who has taken little Balfour from
us. He always doeth all things well.
and be reconciled with the loving
thought Of meeting your little boy
again in a land that is fairer than
day.
His remains were taken to Nahala
church Wednesday afternoon at three
o CLOCK where the impressive funeral
, services was conducted by Rev. Mr..
Fleming, of Tarboro. During the ser
Vice selected choir sang softly Crock
, of Ages, and "Blest be the tie that
Binds,' after which he was laid ten
derby to rest in the churehyard, there
TO await the glorious resurrection by
the side of his little brother Raymond
who had but just few years preceded
him to the spirit world.
/ AS his grave was being filled the
choir sang sweetly again, ''Nearer Ny
God to Thee. -
His grave was completely banke,
with beautiful white flowers by lovins
friends.
He has left us for a fairer shore an.
there will shine forever more in HEAVIER
with God, and oh, may we meet hin
there, where all is love, joy and peace
