IF KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache is a sign you
have been eating too
much meat.

When you wake up with back
ache and dull misery in the kidney
region it generally means you have
been eating too much meat, says a
we'll known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which overworks the kid
neys in their effort to filter it from
the blood and they become sort of
paralyzed and loggy. When your
kidneys get sluggish and clog you
must relieve them, like you relieve
your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy
spells; your stomach >sours, tongue
is coated, and when the weather is
bad you have rheumatic twinges.
The urine is cloudy, full of sedi-
ment, channels often get sore,
water scalds and you are obliged to
seek relief two or three times dur
ing the night.
Either consult good, reliable
physician at once or get from your
pharmacist about four ounces of
Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in
glass of water before breakfast
for few days and your kidneys will
then act fine. This famous salts>fs
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations
to clean and stimulate sluggish kid
neys, also to neutralize acids in the
urine so it no longer irritates, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is life saver for regu-
Ter meat eaters. It is inexpensive,
cannot injure aud makes a delight

done through postoficcs. The min

issued probably will be $1,000 and
the maximum $4,000. with any
amount between these sums in null

British Administrator Says the
Situation is Serious and In
Inmates Further SaCri-
fiCes Necessary.

London, Nov. l3.-John Robert
Clynes, British food controller, said
today that the food situation in
Europe continues to be serious,
necessitating larger shipments until
spring. He said that he confidently
expected America to back up any
British sacrifices which might be
necessary in behalf of the needy
peoples of Europe.
Mr.. Clynes remarked that the sit

becoming critical only by the fact
that certain amount of wheat -four
reserves had accumulated in Eng
land.
He continued: 1--WE are not yet
sufficiently informed as to condi-

tries to announce any definite policy.
In liberated countries we are doing

 Old Stock Held

Chicago. May 1S-(SpecialD D--A spe- cial meeting of Swift Co. stock holders was held here today and Pres ident Louis F. Swift issued the fol- lowing:
 "Increased business requires in- creased capital; the extremely high prices of live stock. for which we pay cash, the larger stocks of meat that war conditions necessitate and the con- tinuous increase in cost of operation have made large demands upon us We are, therefore, offering to our share holders. s25.O0o,ooo additional stock for cash at par at the rate of one share of new stock for each four shares of old sstock.
 "The $25 5000. .ooo cash proceeds of this issue will greatly strengthen the if nancial position of the company and will enable it to discharge it's function with a full degree of efficiency.
 "We feel sure that the new stock will be recognized as desirable in- vestment. We realize that there are many calls for funds at this time and in order not to interfere with govern ment financing out of the savings of the people. we have thought it oppor- tune to issue free of cost a dividend of $25, ,00o. 900 in stock of the company. which will facilitate the purchase of the new stock at par by our share x holders.
 This dividend is not being paid out of earnings It is being issued against surplus resulting from. an adjustment of values of the fixed assets of the company to values current January l.. 1914, based upon an aprpaisement under the American Appraisal company of Milwaukee"

GREATEST DANGER
FOLLOWS GRIP
Weakened Victims Fall Easy
Prey to Other Diseases

The getting-well stage Of grip is
the most dangerous of all because
the body, weakened by the grip, is
wide open to attacks Of other Turk
ing disease germs.
That is why all the organs of the
body must be kept in their best
working order, not only to drive out
the poison left by the grip germ, but
that the patient shall regain
strength as soon as possible to avoid
further attacks resulting from the
poison in the system.
As a means toward good health

cine builds up the body because it is
all pure wholesome nourishment and
