Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says a well-known authority,
because the uric acid in meat excites
the kidneys, they become overworked;
get sluggish; clog up and cause all
sorts of distress, particularly backache
and misery in the kidney region; rheu-
matte twinges. severe headaches, acid
stomach, constipation. torpid liver

tation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take tablespoonful in a 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, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush clogged kid
neys and stimulate them to normal
activity; ais, to neutralize the acids

National Council as the authority hav-

"The japanese Government" said the
note has noted with deep sympathy

Czecho-Slovak people to exact free and
independent national existence. These
aspirations have consciously been made
manifest In their determined and well
organized efforts to arrest the progress

these circumstances.
