QUIT MEAT WHEN

Take a glass of Salts if your

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a 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, sleep
lessness and urinary disorders come
from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache
in the kidneys or your back hurts or
If the urine is cloudy, offensive, full

stop eating meat and get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy; 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, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush and stimu-
late the kidneys, also to neutralize
the acids in urine SO it no longer
causes irritation, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes delightful effer-
vescent Whitewater drink which
everyone should take now and then
to keep the kidneys clean and active
and the blood pure. thereby avoiding
serious kidney complications.

FLAYS MONEY
MAKING PREACHER
Evangelist Insists, However
That Selfish Businessman
Is Just as Bad

w. a. Bodell, evangelist conducting a
campaign in the Covenant Presbyterian
church, last night scored the preacher
who uses his pulpit to selfish ends and
to make what money can be made out
of the job.
The evangelist, however. reached the
conclusion that as every mans life
was a part of the plan of God, such a
preacher is no worse than the man who
uses his business or his farm solely
for his own selfish ends.
Bodelrs sermon was a plea to men
and women to find the place God has
for them in his plan. He drew his
subject from the use the Lord made
of the ass in his triumphal entry into
Jerusalem. He showed that as this
event was prophesied a thousand
years before it came to pass, that the
Lord had a plan for this dumb beast
that was centuries in working out.
The meeting was opened with a sun
shine hour" led by Harry L. Maxwell.
The congregation was familiarized
with the sunshine" songs and taught
to whistle. Mr.. Maxwell sang the
melody of Donizetti's sextette. 20 My
