BOROUGH SUFFERS
FROM COAL LACK
Many Serious Cases Reported
to Dealers; Advice to Those
Who Have Supply

Although becoming serious, the
coal situation in Steelton is not yet
acute, was the opinion of w. r,
Abercrombie, manager of the Steel
ton Store Company. A member OF
the Detweiler Brothers coal concern
said that the situation here is the
worst 1t has been since the short
age existed. He said further that
many families are actually in need
of coal and in several instances the
conditions are serious.
Mr.. Abercrombie said that he finds
in many sections of the town where
residents have been caught without
a supply and what little they had
Oh hand was exhausted and that the
borrowing and lending method is be-
ing followed out. The manager stat
ed that it was not more than right
that those with a supply on hand
should help out their neighbor who is
without a bit of fuel.
The Steelton Store Company an
ticipating the present shortage, held
back a small supply for persons un-
able to purchase more than a bushel
at a time. This was done in order
to alleviate hardships among the
poorer class. A rush on this supply
was made when many unable to get
coal took advantage of the bushel
purchase method. This supply is ex-
hausted.
The borough is without wood and
coal now, dealers report. 1t is i'm
possible to do anything now but TO
borrow from someone who has
supply of fuel on hand, is the advice
dealers give to customers.
Dealers started late last week TO
refuse any orders until a shipment
arrives. Several hundred orders are
booked ahead by local dealers, it is
repCrted

IF BACK HURTS
TAKE SALTS To
FLUSH KIDNEYS
Says Backache is sure sign you
have been eating too
much meat
Uric Acid in meat clogs Kidneys
and irritates the
bladder

Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels. get sluggish and
clogged and need a flushing OCCASION
ally, 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 kid
neys active and clean, and the mo-
ment you feel an ache or pain in the
kidney region, get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from any good drug
store here, take a tablespoonful in q.
glass of water before breakfast for
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 kid
neys and stimulate them to normal
activity. 1t also neutraliZes the acids
in the urine so it no longer irri-
tates, thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is harmless; inexpen-
sive; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia water drink which everybody
should take now and then to keep
their kidneys clean, thus avoiding
serious complications.
A well-known local druggist saws
he sells lots of Jad Salts to folks who
believe in overcoming kidney trouble
while it is only trouble.
