A SPOONFUL. OF
SALTS RELIEVES
Il ACHING KIDNEYS
We eat too much meat, which
clogs Kidneys, says
noted authority
If back hurts or Bladder bothers,
stop all meat for
while

When you wake up with backache
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 kidneys 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 rheu-
matte twinges. The urine is cloudy,
full of sediment, channels often get
sore, water scalds and you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult good, reliable
physician at once or get from your
pharmacist about four ounces of
Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for
a few days and your kidneys will
tnen 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
clean and stimulate sluggish kid
neys, also to neutraliZe acids in the
urine so 1t no longer irritates, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is n life saver for regu-
lar meat eaters 1t is inexpensive,
cannot tnjure and makes a delight
ful. effervescent lithia-water drink.

Women to Be Er lged
as Rural Mail Carriers

Women are to be admitted to Office
as rural mail carriers throughout
the country as a war measure. This
announcement has been made by the
fourth assistant postmaster general
The first examination will be given
April %, the announcement says.
This is the first time since 1911 that
women have been eligible to this
post. At that time it was found i'm
practicable TO admit women to the
post because of the climatic condi-
tions in the northwest. There are
now in the service 200 women whose
appointment dates from the time of
those examinations. The Post Office
Department has found their services
satisfactory and in opening the field
again to women, gratifying results
are expected.
