 KIDNEYS BOTHER
Eat less meat and take a glass of Salts to flush out Kidneys-Drink plenty
 water

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 irrita ted and you may be obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. When the kidneys clog you must help them flush off the bodys urinous waste or you'll be a real sick person shortly At first you feel dull misery Tn the kidney region, you suffer from back ache, 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 lad Salts; take a table spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for O. few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This fa- nous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice combined with lithia, and has been used for genera tions to clean clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity, also to neutrali2e the acids in urine so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bla dder weakness.
 lad Salts is inexpensive, cannot fn- ture; makes 6 delightful effervescent Il hia-water drink which everyone should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active. Druggists here say they sell lots of lad Salts to folks who believe in overcoming kid ney trouble while it is only trouble- Adv

TR0TzKY SEEKS
 HIS OLD JOB
ROlSheVik War Minister AnX- iOus for Quiet Work In
 Kansas.

Girard, Kan, Feb. 17.---Leon Trotz- ky is reported anxious to get a job in Kansas. He wants to give up his career as a Bolshevist statesman to come back to his old place on the New Appeal to Reason here, accord ing to Emanuel Haldeman J ulius manager of the newspaper.
 Tired of revolution, tired of trying to put theories into practice, Halde- nan-Julius says Trotzky asks nothing more than his old job at his old sal ary. Money isn't an object with him. He wants quiet. The principal thing he besought of the editor was a desk in a private office. His emissaries emphasized the 'private.'
 So anxious is Trotzky to return to rural Kansas that he has tried twice very vigorously to land with the New Appeal. Haldeman-Julius says he turned the Bolshevist down hard.
 Trotzky is said to have worked at meagre salary for the New Appeal away back in the days when he was known as Braunstein. Girard re- members him as leader of a strike of the two waitresses in the town s only hotel. The strike. failed.
 When Editor Koplein of the New Appeal was in Europe on a patriotic mission, just before the end of the war, representatives of his time employe are said to have begged for the place.
 Then a tall, bearded stranger aD- peared in the editorial room in Cir ard. He said he was Count Ivan Michaelovitch, right hand man of Trotzky, and this, according to Hald eman-Julius, was his message:
 "Trotzky is a tired man. He is tired of revolution. He is almost a victim of neuras henia. Added to this he has fallen out with Lenine He wants now to get into some quiet corner of the world where he can theorize without having to try to pT his theories into practice. Money isn't an object with Trotzky. He wants a job, a (. 1iet job; the princi pal thing about it should be a desk in q private office.''
 To this appeal Haldeman-Julius says he replied:
