SALTS IF KIDNEYS
OR BLADDER BOTHER
Harmless to flush Kidneys and neu-
traIize irritating acids
Splendid for system.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder,
where it often remains to irritate and
inflame, causing burning, scalding
sensation, or setting up an irritation
at the neck Of the bladder, obliglng
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night. The sufferer is in
constant dread, the water passes
sometimes with scalding sensation
and is very profuse; again, there is
difficulty in avoiding 1t.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
it, because they can't control urina-
ton. While 1t Is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this is
really one of the most simple ailments
to overcome. Get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and
take a tablespoonful in glass of
water before breakfast, continue this
for two or three days. This will neu-
tralize the acids in the urine SO it no
longer is a source Of irritation to the
bladder and urinary organs which
then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice. combined with lithia,
and is used by thousands Of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caused
by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is
splendid for kidneys and causes no
bad effects whatever
Here you have a pleasant, effervesc-
ent lithia-water drink, which quickly
relieves bladder trouble.-(Adv)

How To Prevent
Appendicitis

Appendicitis is primarily due to the
poisons formed by decaying food in the
bowels. It is a disease caused by I'M
proper and insufficient bowel elimina :
ton. Many people have only small
passage in the center of the bowels.
while the sides are clogged with old.
stale, fermenting matter. They may
have a bowel movement every day but
1t is not a complete movement and the
old stale matter stays in the system to
ferment and cause trouble. Besides
appendicitis such unclean bowels
cause headaches, stomach trouble and
90 percent of all other sickness. The
old foul matter sticking to the sides of
the bowels often stays in for months.
poisoning the body and causing that
listless. tired feeling known as auto
intoxication."
HOW TO AVOID TROUBLE
The way to avoid sickness and to
keep feeling full Of ambition is to
watch your bowels. Just as you keep
the outside of your body clean, you
should also KEEP THE INSIDE
CLEAN. 1t is even more important to
keep the bowels clean than it is to keep
your body washed, because the millions
of pores in the thirty feet of bowels
quickly absorb poiSons generated by
decaying food left carelessly in the
bowels. Don't allow the old, ferment-
ing filthy stuff to stay in your bowels
for weeks. but GET 1T OUT and keep
it out. Remember, filthy bowels are
the cause of most sickness-no stom-
ach. liver of any other organ can do
its work with foul cesspool sending

out gases and posons. Even if your
bowels move slightly each day, that is
not enough. There must be an occa-
sional THOROUGH. complete cleans
ing to rid your system of all accumu-
lated, decaying matter.
HOW TO CLEAN BOWELS QUICK
The MOST COMPLETE bowel cleans
er known is a mixture of buckthorn
bark, gly cerine and ten other ingredi-
ents. put up in ready prepared form
under the trade name of Adler-i-ka.
This mixture is SO powerful a bowel
cleanser that 1t ALWAYS does it's work
properly and thoroughly. 1t removes
foul and poisonous matter which other
cathartic or laxative mixtures are un-
able to dislodge It does a Co-\'LETE
job and it works QUICKLY and with
out the least discomfort or trouble. 1t
is so gentle that one forgets he has
taken it until the THOROUGH evacu-
alton starts. 1t is astonishing the great
amount of foul: Poisonous matter a
draws from the alimentary canal
matter you would never have thought
was in your system. Try it right after
a natural bowel movement and notice
how much MORE foul matter will be
brought out which was poisoning your

ed, until somebody with a line on the
bassy remembered that during that
morning Prince Hatzfeldt, OF the en-
bassy staff, had been looking for a
New York World Almanac. The first
two words OF the message, Welt Ger
man for World) 1915" supplied the
ciew. Following the other numbers In
the message as representing page, line
and word in the World Almanac for
1915, the Journal men decided the
message as follows: Warn Lusitania

age across the Atlantic" Two days
later the German embassy printed the
now historic advertisement in the New
York papers warning travellers not to
cross the Atlantic, and week later,
on May Z, the Lusitania was sunk by
a German submarine.
A dramatic touch of suggestion OF
death in the message lies in the fact
that the word mot" in it is taken from
the first sentence of an obituary Of the
late Joseph Pulitzer, former owner Of
the World, which publishes the Alma
nae And another grim bit if irony in
it is that the last four words were
taken from an advertisement of a we'll
known marine motor headed The Seal
of Safety at Sea-
Two words of the message are spell
ed out in German. They are "warne,"
which in English is warn; and
"durch,' which means through" The
word "botschaft" is German for EN-
