QUIT MEAT IF YOUR
KIDNEYS ACT BADLY
Take Tablespoonful Of Salts il
Back Hurts or Bladder
Bothers.

We are a nation of meat eaters and
our blood Is Allied with uric acid, says
a well-known authority. 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
becpme weak from the overwOrk; they
get sluggish; the eliminative tissues
clog and thus the waste is retained in
the blood to poison the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel like
humps OF lead, and you have singing
pains in the back or the urine is
cloudy. full Of sediment, or the blad-
der is irritable, obliging you to- seek
relief during the night; when you have
severe headaches, nervous and dizzy
spells. sleeplessness, acid stomach or
rheumatism in bad weather. get from
your pharmacist about four ounces of
Jad Salts; take a teaspoonful in a
glass Of water before breakfast each
morning and in a few days your kid
neys will 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 fusn
and, stimulate clogged kidneys, TO
neutralize the acids in urine so it is no
longer a source OF irritation, thus end
ing urinary and bladder disorders.
lad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
in-ue; makes a delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink, and nobody can
make a mistake by taking little oc-
casionally to keep the kidneys clean
and aCtive-Adv.

name of the business finn to
which the name of Wilson g.

Not a single one could tell me.
All they knew was that the

become very well and very
favorably known and that il
stands for the highest ideals
IN business pracice-that it
stands for the highest prin-
clples IN service to the public
facts that are borne out BY
the statement that the business

Everywhere | so-and | meet
hundreds of people every week

Chicago people are very proud
of the name Wilson. They

These startling figures showing
what the extra hour of daylight doe'
for home food production were giver
by Mr. Pack:
There were 5.2S5.OOO home food pro
ducing plots in 1915" said Mr.. Pacl
"and with twenty-six working days II
each of the seven months We have
Isl extra hours of time. If only on'
gardener worked this extra hour II
each plot it will be seen that s6l.S'0.ro

country's wealth Since there arr
