MATTRESSES ARE TO BE EMPLOYED
 AT MESS HOUSE

TREADWELL, Sept. 1S.-A decid- ed change at the company mess house is under consideration, accord
 ing to Steward l.. s. Ferris, the proposition being to install a corps of girl walters to replace the time stained and efficient corps of Jap anese walters which was recently greatly depleted by the departure of four of the best, Tomato Ketchup, Yam Potato, Vermiciili Soupo, and Cakayama Hamphato for the land of their nativity where the sun flower mods in the gentle Zephyrs and tea houses abound. All of the four took with them their savings of several years, sufficient to put them in the capitalist class when they reach the land of the Mikado.
 MT. Ferris, in speaking of the matter this morning, said 1t seems impossible to secure competent male help in the messhouse these times and expressed the belief that the problem can best be solved by the employment of girls. It is believed that, with the close of the fishing season, a number of good and com potent girls who are now employed at canneries can be procured and that they will prove satisfactory.

DRINK MORE WATER
IF KIDNEYS BOTHER
Eat less meat and take Salts for Back
ache or Bladder trouble
Neutralizes acids.

Uric acid in meat excites the kidneys,
they become oyerworked; get sluggish,
ache, and feel like humps of lead. The
urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is irri-
tated, and you may be obliged to seek re-
lief two or three times during the night.
When the kidneys clog you must help
them flush off the bodys urinous waste
or you'll be real sick person shortly.
At first you feel a dull misery in the kid
ney region, you suffer from backache,
sick headache, dizziness, stomach gets
sour, tongue coated and you feel rheu-
matte twinges when the weather is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots of water;
also get from any pharmacist four ounces
of Jad Salts take q tablespoonful
in q glass of water before 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 clean clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to normal activity,
also to neutralize the acids in urine, so
it no longer is a source of irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in
jure; makes delightful cffervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone should
take now and then to keep the kidneys
clean and active. Druggists here say
they sell lots of Jad Salts to folks who
believe in overcoming kidney trouble
while it is only trouble.
