HEAVY MEAT EATERS
HAVE SLOW KIDNEYS
Eat Less Meat If You Feel
Backachy Or Have Blad-
der Irouble---Take Glass :
OF Salts.

No man or woman who eats meat re-
gularly can make mistake by flush
ing tho kidneys occasionally, says a
we'll known authority. Meat forms uric
acid which excites the kidneys, they
become overworked from the strain, get
sluggish and fail to filter the waste
and poisons from the blood, then we
get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, head
aches, liver trouble, nervousness, dizzi-
ness, sleeplessness and urinary disor-
ders como from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache in
the kidneys, or your back hurts or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by sensation of scalding, stop
eating meat and get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take
tablespoonful in a glass of water be-
fore breakfast and in a few days your
kidneys will act fine. This famous salts
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for generations to flush
and stimwate the kidneys, also to
neutralize the acids in urine so it no
longer causes irritation, thus ending
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful efferveseent
lithia-watcr drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications.

II on Legitimate operators.
One Of the first acts OF the meeting
last evening, one Of benefit to owners
Of city property, was to offer reward
for the arrest and conviction OF any
person found defaeing or in any way
damaging property. It is well known
that property-espeeial houses not oc
eupied- -haye suffered considerable
damage the past year and il is to pre-
vent this that the Salem Realty board
has offered cash reward for the ar
rest and conviction Of an offender.
Paul A. Cowgirl OF Portland, secre'
tary of the Interstate Realty associa-

what has been done to secure coopera.

Mr.. Cowgirl conferred today with
Governor Withycombe in reference to
some much needed legislation and it
is probable that the realty boards Of

AMERICAN RED CROSS
WILL MAKE NO DRIVES
After Conclusion Of Member
ship Campaign No More
Calls For Funds.

i Portland, Or, Dec. 5.-The Red Cross
has held its last war fund drive. The
Christmas roll call campaign is the very
Foundation of Red Cross effort.
These are facts brought out in a tel
egram just received by Wilher E. Co.
Imam, state chairman of the Christmas
roll call drive, from II. p. Dawson,
chairman of the war council of the Am
erican Red Cross.
That the Red Cross would make no
further war fund drives was tremen-
dous surprise to Red Cross leaders, but
Mr.. Dawson teiegraphs that he makes
the announcement after consultation
with President Wilson.
| 1t is probable, also, that there will
be no other war drives for any organ
ization whatever. !.
Despite the fact that no war fund
campaigns will be held. Red Cross ef-
fort is to continue on tremendous
scale. 1t is probable that notwithstand-
ing the enormous amount cf work stu
to be done by the Red Cross, both in
this country and in Europe, its sole
source of revenue will be dues from
memberships.
/ For this reason a greater and great
er effort is to be made to make the
Christmas roll call campaign thorough

MARION COUNTY WAS
ANXIOUS TO PAVE
But State Highway COInmis-
sion Didn't Seem Ready To
Work In Marion County.

The Marion county court is not only
willing to pave roads in the county ae-
icording to the plans and specifications
of the state highway COMMISSION next
year, but it has been ready sor the past
two years.
The court has notified the highway
commission that, according to law, II
is ready and will grade and dram all
the roads in Marion county that the
commission will pave or hard surface.
All that the county court is waiting
for now is that the state highway com
mission will designate, according to law
what roads it will pave and the coun'
ty will at once get busy ia preparing
the roads according TO the plans and
specifications of the commission.
AS the matter now stands and has
stood ever since the passage of the
So 900, 900 road bonding act, the court
has been willing to pave but can do
nothing until the highway commission
legally designates what roads shall be
prepared by the county for the hard
surface.
The fact that no roads have been
hard surfaced in the county has peen
a great disappointment 10 many and
for time it was thought that the
county court had not proceeded as 1t
should have.
This paving proposition was brought
10 the attention Of Judge w NJ. Bushy
and Commissioners j. I. Hunt and W.
H. Goulet yesterday by the receipt OF
letter from the state highway com
mission in which it was asked that the
court set forth to the commission by
Dee. 10 just what aid the county
would expect from the commission
during 1919.
The letter of inquiry also asks Tor
as to the amount OF grade
the county had prepared for hard sur
| faciu gunder the s6,000,00e bond act
and what mileage the county will re-
quest the coming year.
