A few days ago welfare worker
in Omaha said to representative
OF The Bee, Can't your paper do
something to furnish shoes for the
poor children of Omaha who are
unable to ;.ttend school because Of
the high cost of shoes? The parents
are usually able to supply every
thing else, yet shoes are most i'm
portant of all"
Could The Bee do anything? OF
course we could, but we wanted to
be sure first the need was there. so
we made a careful investigation.
Everywhere from social workers
came the same reply: Shoes are ex-
pensive, absolutely necessary and
hard to get"
School authorities told US lack of
shoes caused the most truancy and
they would gladly assist in handling
d shoe fund if secured.
In response to The Bees request
Superintendent Beveridge appointed
q committee consisting of Miss
Pearl McCumber, Miss Frances
Gross and Miss May Anderson. the
first two principals, the latter a
tcacher, in the city schools, to buy
shoes for the children. Teachers
who find worthy families in their
districts whose children are out of
school because they do not have
shoes will report to this committee,
Gases reported from parochial
schools will also have due atten-
tion.
So you are invited to send in to
The Bee small offerings. A few
dollars will outfit a child with foot
wear. The limit is S., as we want
10 make this a popular fund and to
let 'everyone have a chance to help.
Every cent will be used to buy shoes

IF KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache is a sign you
have been eating too much
meat, which forms uric. i
acid.

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 WELL
known authority. Meat forms uric
acid which overworks the kidneys
in their effort to filter it from the
blood and they become sort of par.
alyzed and loggy. When your kid.
neys get sluggish and clog you must
relieve them, like you relieve your
bowels; removing all the body's urin.
Gus waste, else you have backache,
sick headache, dizzy spells; your
stomach sours, tongue is coated, and
when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, channels
often get sore, water scalds and you
are obliged to seek relief two o.
three times during the night.
Either consult a 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 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 clean
and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also
to neutralize acids in the urine so
IL no longer irritates, thus ending
Bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is life saver for regu.
lar meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive,
cannot iniure and makes a delight
full, effervescent lithia-water
