MEAT INJURIOUS ]
TO THE KIDNEYS
Take q Tablespoonful of Salts if Back
hurts or Bladder bothers~Meat
fsshs uric acid

We are nation o. meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid, SAYS a
well-snown 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
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 system.
When your kidneys ache and feel like
humps of lead, and you have stinging
pains in the back or the urine is cloudy.

table, obliging you to seek relief during
the night; when you have severe head
aches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleepless-
ness, acid stomach or rheumatism in bad
weather, get from your pharmacist about
four ounces of Jad Salts, take a
tablespoonful in glass of water before
breakfast each morning and in a 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 been used for generations
to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys,
to neutralize the acids in urine so it Is
no longer source of irritation, thus
ending urinary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes q delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink, and nobody can make
a mistake by taking little occasionally
to keep the kidneys clean and active.

SOFT DRINK IS
NOW MORE POPULAR
Industry in Its Entirety Enjoying Re-
markable Growth; Orange Crush
Meeting With Favor.

One of the few industries which
has kept pace with the automobile in
dustry in rapid development is the
soft drink business. This phenomi-
nal growth of the bottling industry
is chiefly attributable to two causes
improvement in the character of
the beverages offered, and improved
methods of bottling.
In the days when pop bottles were
corked by rubber shoppers fastened
on the inside of the bottle, absolute
sanitation was almost impossible. A
high standard of cleanliness was the
exception rather than the rule.
With the advent of the crown cap
sanitation became easily attainable
by all bottlers. So generally is this
recognized that the more important
soft drink concerns-like the Orange
Crush Company for instance-will
not sell their products to bother
unless his plant satisfies certain rig
i'd requirements as to equipment and
sanitation.
In typical Orange-Crush bottling
works, such as the local Coca Cola
plant, the empty bottles are scald-
ed in a solution of caustic soda and
hot water, then brushed and rinsed
in warm water, and finally sprayed
inside and out by cold water and un-
der pressure. They are then filed
with orange-Crush, capped, labelled
and packed in the cases.
Except when put in washing tanks
and when taken from the Gaping ma
chine The bottles are scarcely touch
ed by human hand in the entire
process. The bottling plant is light
and airy, the machinery radiates with
cleanliness, and the workmen are i'm
maculate in their dress and in their
person.
range-Crush also typifes the 9TH
er tendency which has been so potent
a stimulant in the development of the
industry-improvement in the char
acter of beverages 1t is blend of |
the flavor of the worlds finest oran-
ges. Combined with the piquancy of
water the full rich bavor
of the ripe fruit and the fragrance
of orange groves make Orange Crush
a drink that is almost of universal
appeal.
In addition to being pure and de-
licious, 0range-Crush is said to be
nutritious. Ounce for ounce it con-
tains more food value as measured in
calories than whole milk. Physicians
recommend it, for~u use in the sick
room.
The enthusiastic welcome this drink
has received indicates that the public
is keenly alive to the value of whole
some beverages properly prepared,
and continued growth and develop
ment for the soft drink industry may
be safely predicted.

EXPERIENCES TOLD
People in all Ranks of Life Tell What
Celebrated Medicine Has Done
For Them,

One Of the most noteworthy features
in connection with Taniac and the n
that stands out more prominently than
any other, perhaps, is the very large
number Of well-known men and wo-
men from all parts or the country who
have recently reported astonishing
and rapid increases in weight as a
result Of its use.
When so many well-known people OF
unquestioned integrity make state
ment after statement. each CORRIDOR
ating the other, the truth Of such
statements can no longer be doubted.
Thousands have testified that this
famous medicine has completely re-
stored them to health and strength,
after every other medicine and the
most skilled medical treatment have
failed.
One of the most remarkable cases
on record is that of Mrs, Viola Ives
of 315 Cross street, Little Rock, Ark.
whose statement appears below.

CovelL pastor of Trinity Church last
night pleaded with the laity to demo-

You have surrendered your relig-

men," he said. "All the talking, all
the reading. all the praying in the
church is done by one man whom you
call a minister. but whose power
would cause an outsider to regard
him as some monarch of religion.
You have turned over to the clergy
the definition and activities of religion
and when you cry out for participa-

the more narrow-minded of them re-
fuse to have their powers discon-
tinued.'

STRIKES SPREAD
over WIDE AREA
Reports Indicate Number of
Men Out Will Reach
100000.

Approximately $4,000 men are on
strike throughout the country, it was
estimated here yesterday.
Based on incomplete returns 10 the
Labor Department. figures of the
American Federation OF Labor and
newspaper reports, this estimate Is
considered fairly accurate in the ab-
sence of more authenticated figures.
More than 10000 men are affected
directly and indirectly through strikes,
lockouts and controversies reported to
the Labor Department for mediation.
Officials pointed out that the total
number of strikers throughout the
country must be far above this figure
because the Labor Department is ask
ed to mediate only in a small per-
ccntage of cases.
Labor Department figures include no
reference to the strike of Brooklyn
carmen and the files contain only one
or two strikes in New York, although
New York officials estimate that ITO
separate strikes now are going on
there.
Thousands of machinists are on
strike in and around Chicago in ad-
dition to 5000 who are said to have
quit work in railroad shops.
New England cities. especially Hart
ford. Conn. are experiencing a strike
