IF BACK HURTS USE
 SALTS FOR KIDNEYS
Eat Less Meat If Kidneys Feel Like
 Lead or Bladder Bothers

Most folks forget that the kidneys, like the bowels, get sluggish and clogged and need flushing occasion ally, else we have backache and dull
 misery in the kidney region, severe headaches, rheumatic 'twinges, tor
 pid liver, acid stomach, sleeplessness
 and all sorts of bladder disorders. You simply must keep your kidneys active and clean, and the moment you feel an ache or pain in the kidney re- zion. get about four ounces of lad Salts from any good drug store here, 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, com
 bined with lithia, and is harmless to
 flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity. It also neu- l tralizes the acids in the urine so it no 1 longer irritates, thus ending bladder 1 disorders.
 1 lad Salts is harmless; inexpensive;
 makes a delightful effervescent lithia-
 water drink which everybody should l take now and then to keep their kid
 neys clean, thus avoiding serious com plications
 A well known local druggist says he
 sells lots of lad Salts to folks who believe in overcoming kidney trouble while it is only trouble.

 Director Mott wires at end of third day on basis original national goal en- tire nation had subscribed only thir- ty-seven per cent, but that he had heard of no state which does not full ly intend to press beyond goal of fifty per cent. versubscription. He says further without doubt campaign is dragging seriously in certain parts. First owing to influenza second 10 Mondays celebration, third failure of many people to grasp idea that much more money is required for demobil- zation period and period between ces- sation of hostilities and beginning of demobilizaton than was required on regular war basis. All this makes it absolutely necessary that each commu nifty shall drive ahead beyond the goal as much as possible. He also reaffirms necessity of sacrifcal giving out of principal to meet sacrifice service of ! our men now detained overseas.
