MEAT INJURIOUS
 TO THE KIDNEYS
Take a Tablespoonful of Salts If Back Hurts or Bladder
 BOtherS.

We are a nation of meat eaters and
 our blood is filled with uric acid, says well-known authOdity. who warns us to be constantly on guard against kidney trouble.
 The kidneys do their utmost to free the blood of this irritating acid, but become weak from the overwork; they get sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and thus the waste is retained in the blood to poison the entire sys- tom.
 ''iWhen your kidneys ache and feel like Jumps of lead, and you have stinging pains in the back or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or the bladder is irritable, ooliging you to seek reliee during the night; when you have severe headaches, nervous,
 and dizzy spells, sleeplessress. alid stomach or rheumatism in bad weath CT, get from your pharmacist abOu, four ounces of lad Salts; take table spoonful in a glass Of water before |Abreakfast each morning and in few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has ben used for gen erations to flush and stimulate clog ged kidneys. to neutralize the acids so it is no longer source of irrita- tion, thus ending urinary and bladder disorders.
 lad Salts is inexpensive and can not injure; makes a delightful effer- vescent lithia-water drins, and nobody can make mistake by taking little occasionally to keep the kidneys clean and active. Advt

LOCALS SPLIT
 SERIES WITH LITTLE ROCK
Drop Afternoon Game But Pluck Laurels in the
 Night Contest.

i The Pine Bluff "Y" team, consist ing of old stars from the High School won from the Little Rock ":Y" team last night 30 to 29. The afternoon ses- sion was loss for the High School score 32 to 12.
 The game last night was perhaps the fastest and most thrilling game of the local season. The game was re- plete with thrills from start to finish, and many spectacular plays brought the spectator to his feet many times with cheer.
 The game was well attended. There was the ticket taker, two coaches, two teams, and reporter and the latter was a dead-head. No doubt the ef- feet of such an array of empty seats was the spur which urged the two teams to fast playing.
 For the visitors, Craig and Potts were the stellar performers, while for Pine Bluff, Howell, Quinn and Sanders starred. The score at the end of the first half was IF to ) in favor of Pine Bluff. In the second half, the locals loafed bit to make the game interesting, and before they were aware of 1t, the game had be- come almost too interesting. All of which made the game more interest ing to the spectator.
 The afternoon game was proceeded by preliminary game in which two girls teams, the Phi Psi and the sbr- osis tangled up. When the score was unscrambled, it was found that the Phi Psi-ycu gotter whistle it!-had won, 6 to 4.
 The line up for the night game was:
 Little Rock: Wachter and Craig. forwards; Potts, center; Bratton and Powell, guards. Bethner substituted for Powell. :s
 Pine Bluff: Toney and Dansby, forwards; Howell, center: Sanders and Quinn, guards. Hart substituted for Sanders.
 The line up for the afternoon game was the same for Little Rock. For Pine Bluff: Hensley and List, for wards; Tenne, center; Mcintyre and McNew, guards.
