F KIDNEYS ACT
 BAD TAKE SALTS Says Backache is sign you have been eating too
 much meat

When you wake up with backache and erally means you have been eating too much meat, says a well known authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter 1t from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and losgy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; re- moving all the body's urinous waste. else you have backache, sick headache dizzy spells; your stomach sours. tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night.
 Either consult a good, reliable physi- can at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water be- fore breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then 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 clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the urine so it no longer irritates thus ending bladder weakness.
 lad Salts is a life saver for regular meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot in- jure and makes delightful eftervescenl lithia water drink.-Adv.

 Beautifully Cury Hair!

This is secret that will. I know. be appreciated by my lady who dislikes the tedious and nervous task of twisting her locks around heated iron, per haps singing the hair, burning off the in the operation. From any druggist procure a few ounces of pure liquid silmerine and at night pour little onto down the full length of the hair. A simple thing to do but remarkably eff fectual, as will be apparent in the morning.
 The hair will have a wonderfully soft, fluffy curliness much more natural looking, glossier and livelier in appear ance than where waving iron has been used Silmerine doesn't make the hair sticky or greasy, and there will be no trouble doing it up in any style desired-O1ga Ormsbee.
