EAT LESS AND TAKE
SALTS FOR KIDNEYS
Take q glass Of Salts before breakfast
If your Back hurts or Bladder
bOthers you.

The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trouble,
because we eat too much and all our food
is rich. Our blood is filed with uric
acid which the kidneys strive to filter
out, they weaken from overwork, become
sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and
the result is kidney trouble, bladder
weakness and a general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like Jumps of,
lead; your back hurts or the urine is
cloudy, full of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three times
during the night; if you suffer with sick
headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid
stomach, or you have rheumatism when
the weather is bad, get from your phar-
macist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take tablespoonful in 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 has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys;
to neutralize the acids in the urine so it
no longer is a source of irritation, thus
ending bladder disorders.

every home, because nobody can make

Rev. M. P. MOORE PASSES
AFTER PROTRACTED ILLNESS
Was Principal of Negro Public School
Thirteen Years. Remains Sent
to South Carolina.

The funeral of Rev. M. P. Moore,
principal of the negro public school,
who passed away Tuesday, was very
impressively conducted by Rev. T. NJ.
Galloway. It was at the request of
the family of the deceased that the
white pastor oficiated, and it was his
privilege to pay high tribute to the
character of the deceased, whose in
fiuence among his own people was
for their uplift.
Several of the colored people pres
ent spoke feelingly of the life of
their leader and counsellor The
school children covered the casket
with beautiful flowers. The eigth
grade with subdued voices and a mel
ody peculiar to the singing of the
colored race gave a selection, adding
to the pathOs of the occasion. "Steal
Away" and other songs were render
ed by the choir.
Honored by Cleveland.
During President Cleveiand's first
administration he was sent on mis-
sion to Africa to investigate and re-
port as to the condition of The negro
colonists who had gone from the
Southern states to Liberia and also
as to whether or not it was feasible
and desirable to encourage negro en-
igration from America to that coun-
try. On his return he submitted an
unfavorable report and discouraged
the exodus of his race from the Unit
ed States.
Rev. Moore came to Dawson 23
years ago, and for several years con-
Quoted barber shop. Thirteen years
ago he was elected principal of the
negro colored schools, and held that
position continuously up to the time
of his death.
The remains were sent to his form
er home in Batesburg, South Carroll
ma, and were accompanied to the
train by large concourse of friends.
The deceased is survived by his wife
and eleven children.
