SALTS fine FOR
ACHING KIDNEYS
We Eat Too Much Meat
Which Clogs Kidneys,

Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels. get sluggish and clog
ged and need flushing occasionally,
else we have backache and dull misery
in the kidney region, severe headaches,
rheumatic twinges, torpid liver, acid
stomach, sleeplessness and all sorts Of
bladder disorders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney re-
gion. get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any good drug store here,
take a 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 of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and is harmless to flush clogged
kidneys and stimulate them to normal
activity. 1t also neutralizes the acids
in the urine so 1t no longer irritates,
thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is harmless, inexpensive;
makes q delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which everybody should
take now and then to keep their kidneys
clean, thus avoiding serious complica-
lions.
A well known local druggist says he
sells lots of Jad Salts to folks who
believe in overcoming kidney trouble

COAL AND A PROMISE.

* SSURANCE has been given the public by the Ore
of placed in the service supply the coal needs
of southern Idaho and for next winter
We inaugurated fight for coal in the in
teres of the public and not to harm any large
negotiations to create any anagonistic Impressions
We felt the time had to demand to know what the
public might depend Our sole object to obtain
assurance that coal would be supplied minus exorb
of late and sparse deliveries.
We are disposed to accept this assurance. All
ask and all the public asks is that there be
necessary delay in making good.
There has been nothing unreasonable in the represen
aons made for by the public The people must have
fuel and it must be provided without any holdup attach
ments Failure to provide it excepting in to add
to public discomfort if not suffering would be sure to
create most undesirable situation.
We prefer believe that fuel will be furnished and at
reasonable COST that there will be no actual suffering
and that condition of affairs most painful contemplate
will be happily avoided
AS have taken lead in this matter we are inclined
to the belief that the public will accept advice when
we urge them to make all possible storage
operators and coal dealers and the railroad do
their SHARE the public should do it's share Any marked
Indifference the part of the public might be taken ad
vantage of with sufficient showing of justification to bar
any action.

London, Aug. 31.--The Moscow con- ference will have lasting effect on the Russian nation and the conduct of the war will be speeded up, Prem fer Kerensky declared in an inter view in Moscow on Wednesday,
 The government convened the Mos COW conference, the Exchange Tele- graph company's report of the inter- view says, to get acquainted with opinions, tendencies and needs of the country; to tell representatives of all classes the truth concerning the crisis through which Russia is pass ing and to impress on the nation necessity for united efforts for the defense of the country and for secur- ing liberty for Russia.
 "I am sure," the premier said. that the truth learned by the whole nation at the conference will not fade away. It will have effect for long time and will burn in on ever in- creasing flame. The conduct of the war and the struggle against our enemies will gain greatly"
 The correspondent quotes Premier Kerensky as using the following ex- pression in his closing speech:

 Is your back lame and painful? Does it ache especially after cxer- ton?
 Is there a soreness in the kidney region?
 These symptoms suggest weak kid neys.
 If so there is danger in delay.
 Weak kidneys get fast weaker.

 Doan's Kidney Pills are for weak kidneys.
 Your neighbors use and recommend them.

 Mrs. w. E. Lambeth, 1901 East Sixth street, says: M, and others of the family have used Doan's Kidney Pills for troubles caused by weak kid : |neys, such as pain in the back, dizzy spells, headaches and irregular kidney action. Doan's have always brought prompt relief. We are never without a box of Doan's Kidney Pills in the house and generally get them at the Mann Tankersley Drug Co.,"
