MARRIED HAPPINESS
 RUINED BY QUARRELS
Families Are Broken Up Because of Nerves

Doctors claim a man or woman with strong nervous system has complete control of happiness.
 It is only those who are played out by overwork, worry, excesses, and throughtless dissipation that are quar- relsome and disappointed in life. Do not condemn them, their nerves are starved, they are depleted of life and energy and no thought is given to supply them with food nerve energy to make them calm, strong and con- trolable.
 The foolish waste of nerve force turns a cheerful happy person to the grouch that accounts for so many separations.

Agitation has developed point where it has become
systematic business instead of spontaneous oubu as In
years gone by Agitation has been put upon strictly COM
merca basis and there it promises remain until the public
comes to realize the size of its annual agitation bill.
An aeitato who interested in the recent prohibition
campaign in Ohio quoted saying that the struggle cost
the dys $751; 900 and that the faction is preparing to
spend $780, 900 in similar campaign next Safe to say
the ntiprohbonss have been equal expense and yet
the state of Ohio still faces the prohibition question
In Indiana prohibition organization alone reported an
expenditure of $4,000 year when there practically no
agitation of the liquor question in this state Taking into con-
sderaton expenditures of both factions apparent that

LESS MEAT If BACK
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Take a glass of Salts to flush Kidneys
ifBladder bothers you-Drink
lots of water.

Eating meat regularly eventually pro
duces kidney trouble in some form or
other, says a well-known authority, be-
cause the uric acid in meat excites the
kidneys, they become cverworked; get
sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of
distress, particularly backache and mis-
cry in the kidney region; rheumatic twin
ges, severe headaches, acid stomach, con-
stipation, 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 tablespoonful in glass of water
before breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid CT 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 80 it no longer irri-
tates, thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot in:ure anyone !;
makes delightful effervcacaut 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.

BULLDOG GUARDING STILL
FAILS TO STOP REVENUE
MEN IN "ORY" ATLANTA

United States revenue officers late
Wednesday raided a still which they
discovered or the outskirts of College
Hill. Eight hundred gallons OF beer
was taken by the officers and a fifty
gallon still in process OF fermentation
was destroyed
Various brands of Illicit liquors
were found al a farmhouse nearby and
the occupant Of the place was sub
jected to a rigorous questioning. The
latter denied any knowledge as 10 the
ownership of the still or any connec-
ton with it.
The officials were kept at bay at
the still by a large bulldog for some
minutes when they first surrounded
the place. The dog. it is surmised, had
been put on guard by the operators of
the still and its ownership may cut
considerable figure in the case.-At.
