F KIDNEYS AMI
BLADDER BOTHER
Take a glass of Salts to flush out your
Kidneys and neutralize irri-
tating acids,

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder, where
it often remains to irritate and infiame,
causing burning, scalding sensation, or
setting up an irritation at the neck of
the bladder, obliging you to seek relief
two or three times during the night.
The sufferer is in constant dread, the
water passes sometimes with scalding
sensation and is very profuse; again,
there is difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call It.
because they can't control urination.
While it is extremely annoying and some
times very painful, this is really one of
the most simple ailments to overcome.
Get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from your pharmacist and take a table
spoonful in glass of water before
breakfast, continue this for two or three
days. This will neutralize the acids in
the urine so i no longer is a source of
irritation to the bladder and urinary or.
gans which then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless.
and is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
is used by thousands of folks who are
subject to urinary disorders caused by
uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is splen-
did for kidneys and causes no bad
effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, effervescent
lithia-water drink, which quickly relieves
bladder trouble

DORSEY TO CALL
EXTRA SESSION
ONLY If URGENT

ATLANTA, Feb. 26.-STong argu-
ments in favor Of an extra session of
the legislature were presented yester-
day afternoon to Governor Dorsey at
the highway hearing and conference
held by him in the senate chamber of
the capitol.
Prominent men from every section
of the state attended the hearing. Num-
bers made brief speeches, while the
others attested by their presence that
they are in favor of the movement for
an extra session. Besides hearing the
arguments presented to him, Governor
Dorsey also heard, in joint conference
with the budget commission, the state
highway commission and the legisla-
tive committee of the legislature,
reading of the several highway bills
prepared by the subcommittee ap>
pointed from these three bodies.
Just what the governors decision
will be in regard to the extra session
will probably be made known by him
within a few days. Necessity for
prompt and speedy action to get Geor-
gias program under way without de-
lay is the fundamental reason for an
extra session as presented to him.
From the way Governor Dorsey
questioned the various speakers yes
yterday, it was evident that he would
not call an extra session unless it
was shown beyond doubt that an ex-
ira session was urgent in the strictest
sense of the term. However, he favors
highway legislation and will make a
an extra session is not called.
