DRINK MORE WATER
# KIDNEYS BOTHER
Eat Less Meat and Take Salts
for Backache Or Bladder
Trouble.

Uric acid in meat excites the kid
neys, they become overworked; get
sluggish, ache, and feel like Jumps of
lead. The urine becomes cloudy; the
bladder is %irritated, and you may be
obliged to seek relief TWO or three
times during the night. When the kid
neys clog you must help them flush off
the body's urinous waste or you'll be
a real sick person shortly. At first
you feel a dull misery in the kidney
region, you suffer from backache, sick
headache, dizziness, stomach gets sour
tongue coated and you feel rheumatic
twinges when the weather Is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots OF water;
also get from any pharmacist four
ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoon
full in a glass Of water before breakfast
for a 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
clogged kidneys and stimulate them to
normal activity, also to neutralize the
acids in urine, so it no longer is a
source of irritation, thus ending blad-
der weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, can not in
lure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active. Druggists
here say they sell lots of Jad Salts to
folks who believe in overcoming kid
ney trouble while it is only trouble.

NEW THEATER IS
A POSSIBILITY
Sites Near Main and Adams
and Main and Union Are
Under Consideration

There seems a possibility that the new
theater, which has been talked Of for
the past two or three years, may
actually be under construction before
the summer ends.
Two sites are under consideration and
options have actually been secured on
most of the realty involved at both
prospective sites.
Negotiations have also SO far pro-
crossed that owners OF property in the
two different sections have met and
are prepared to offer 10 take stock in
the proposed new theatrical building
enterprise, II they can be shown that
there is something more tangible than
talk behind 1t.
Real estate men Interested refuse to
give out any more specific Information.
The fact that Marcus Loew, who repre-
sents big interests In the Theatrical
world. Is In Memphis and the further
fact that he also declines to say a word
about any plans he may have, has led
property owners to believe that the
plans now really are being made to take
over one or the other site on which OPP
lions will soon expire. and go ahead
with the construction this year.
Mr.. Loew spent Monday In conference
with a number OF real estate dealers
who control the property involved.

COnciLidtOr At
Work Trying To
Settle Strike

W. c. Liller, Of Cincinnati, concilia-
tor Of the department Of labor, held a
two-hour conference Monday morning
with representatives of the striking
painters of Local No. 40, Painters and
Decorators OF America, representatives
Of the Builders exchange and the
Building Trades council, in the effort
to a~djudicate the differences between
the painters and the master painters Of
the Builders exchange.
Mr.. Liller has no direct authority to
compel r settlement Of the strike, but
can merely make recommendations to
the parties at loggerheads and to his
denartment in Washington.
The painters demand that the master
painters in the Builders exchange sign
the new wage agreement prepared by
their union, which provides for an in
crease in painters wages from 62i5
cents an hour to rs cents, and increase
Of decorators and p%aperhangers' wages
from SIS cents to so cents an hour. The
master painters. according to the by
laws Of the Builders exchange, must
permit all wage differences to be
handled by this body and cannot sign
without permission OF the exchange.
The exchange firmly insists upon arbi-
t%ration, and accuses the union of refus-
ing to arbitrate before striking.
Only 10 master painters are in the
exchange and 26 others out Of the or
g~anization have signed.
