TAKE SALTS TO
FLUSH KIDNEYS
Eat less meat if you feel Backachy
or Bladder troubles you-Safts
is fine for Kidneys.

Meat forms uric acid which excitcs
and overworks the kidneys in their eff.
forts to filter it from the system. Reg
ular eaters of meat must flush the hid
|neys occasionally. You must relieve
them like you relieve your bowels; re-
moving all the acids, waste and poison,
else You feel dull misery in the hid
Iney region, sharp pains in the back or
sick headache, dizziness, your stomach
sours, tongue is coated and when the
weather is bad you have rheumatic
twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of
sediment; the channels often get irfi-
tated, obGging you to get up two or
three times during the night.
| To neutralizc these irritating acids
and flush off the bodv's urinous waste
| get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take tablespoon
| full in glass of water before break
| fast for few days and your kidneys
will then act fine and bladder disorders
| disappear. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to clean and
stimulate sluggish kidneys and stop
bladder irritation. Jad Salts is inexpen-
sive; harmless and make a delightful
cffervescent ithia water drink which
| millions of men and women take now
and then, thus avoiding serious kidney
and bladder diseaseS.-Adyt.

WIRELESS OUTFITS
HERE DISMANTLED
Orders Received from Naval Official I'm
mediately Obeyed-Licenses Had
Been Applied for.

Wireless outfits in Brattleboro of
which the government has any knowl
edge have been dismantled at once and
those who have received the orders
from Lieut.. Edward J. Blakeslee Of the
United States navy, radio communica-
tion superintendent, have obeyed them.
The orders were peremptory that the
sets should be dismantled and the re-
cipicnts Of the orders were required
70 notify the officer at once in what
manner the sets had been dismantled.
While there are numerous amateur
wireless sets in Brattleboro only two
or three of them were owned by men
who had applied recently for licenses
and therefore were known to the gov
eminent. The high school, for instance,
has small set for receiving, but no
orders had been received there last
night or today to dismantle it. The
same is true of other owners of small
sets in different parts of the town. 1t
is probable that other sets will be dis
mantled promptly rather than run the
risk Of suspicion or possible blame for
