# BACK HURTS Use
SALTS FOR KIDNEYS
Eat less meat If Kidneys feel Like lssA

md need a flushing occasionally, else We
have backache and dull misery In. the
kidney region, severe hesdaches, rheu-
matte twinges, torpid liver, acid stomach,
sleeplessness and ell sorts of bladder die
orders.
You simply must keep your kidneyc
active and s,,...-a, and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney
region, get about four ounces Of Jad
Salts from any good drug store here,
take q tablespoonful in glass Of water
before breakfast for q few days and
your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts lie made from the acid Of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and is harmless to flush cloggsd
kidneys and stimulate them to normal
activity. IL also neutralizes che scids
in the urine 20 IL no longer irritates,
thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which everybody should take
now and then TO keep their kidneys clean,
thus avoiding serious complications.
A well-known local druggist says he
sells lots Of Jad Salts to folks who believe
in overcoming kidney trouble whila e =

Gift-giving is, of course, the echo
of the Wise Mems gifts; and mince
pie, turkey and plum buildings arc
modern relics of the pagan feasts.
Santa Claus, known TO every child In
every land in this old world is the per-
sonification of the spirit Of loving and
giving.
The holly, synonymous Of Christ
mas, was sacred plant and the mis-
tletSe mysterious plant, supposed by
the ancient Druids to have some mys-
tic power of healing and preventing
misfortune. II was never allowed to
touch the ground, hence the modern
superstition that 1t is unlucky for a
mistletoe bough to fall from its place.
1t was dedicated to the Goddess of
Love, which explains the custom of
kissing under the mistletoe.

brated as a Christian festival for sew

The origin of the Christmas tree Is

Christmas is not just a day
of tree-trimming and toy-giving
for the kiddies-not just a holi-
day for youngsters to outgrow.
Its spirit is of the heart, the soul

our friends. 1t changes not,
however we may. May its glow
be reflected for you through all
The coming year.
