GLASS OF SALTS IF
YOUR KIDNEYS HURT
Eat Less Meat if You Feel Back
achy or Have Bladder
Trouble.

Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their
efforts to filter it from the system.
Regular eaters Of meat must flush
the kidneys occasionally. You must
relieve them like you relieve your
bowels; removing all the acids, waste
and poison, else you feel a dull misery
in the kidney 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 chan
nels often get irritated. obliging you
to get up two or three times during
the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous
waste get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water be-
fore breakfast for a 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 ir-
ritation. Jad Salts is inexpensive;
harmless and makes a delightful ef-
tervescent lithia-water drink which
millions of men and women take now
and then, thus avoiding serious kid
ney and bladder diseases.-Adv.

large amount of painting in various

SIOUX CITY LIVE STOCK MARKET

Sioux City, Nov. 2.-The market
the opening day under government
regulation was quoted lower. The
opening was one of the latest of re-
cent weeks, and despite the light
run, bidding was slow throughout. i
Chicago reports a heavy run and
a strong market but the rapid de-
cline in prices there yesterday which
forced the price level closer than
normal to prices paid at the Sioux
City yards was the principal cause of
the decline here.
In general the market was dull
throughout, with bidding for all
grades slow from the opening. Prices
paid were around 20@25c lower
than those paid yesterday, with the
decline spread owe all grades sold.
Top hogs sold at $500 and the bulk
,of sales was made at $16.90@17.25
The close, however, was stronger, on
light grades which regained most of
the loss.

When a Madison citizen comes to

neighbors of his experience, you can
rely on his sincerity. The state
ments of people residing in far away
places do not command your conf
dence. Home endorsement is the
kind that backs Doan's Kidney Pills.
Such testimony is convincing. Inves-
tigation proves it true. Below is a
statement of a Madison resident.
No stronger proof of merit can be
had.
August We. IA, retired farmer,
Grant avenue, says: "Doan's Kid
ney Pills are the best remedy l have

order and / suffered a lot from back
