Uric acid in meat excites the kidneys,

Eat less meat, drink lots OF water;
also get from any pharmacist four ounces
of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful
in glass of water before breakfast for
a few days and your kidneys will then
act fine. This famous salts is made from

had been pretty well pointed out without
the need of legislative investigation. There

Pratt Tor the attorney general, and 90
the revelation OF deplorable business meth.

can be made. Improvement, in fact. has
gone forward pretty rapidly under the
management OF Director j f. Weeks,

give valuable information in regard to the

sumner will be affected by the govern
ment s participation in such a program
whether the, cost of its purchases of
foodstuffs, clothing and other neeessi-
ties would Re radically reduced or not.
The consensus OF opinion seems to be,
at this time, that relatively high
range OF prices will prevail for some
time in such markets, but that gradu-
ally the prices of the majority of ne
cessities will fall, and that the govern
ment s activity in the proposed stabili-
cation program win play its part in
bringing this about without disastrous
results in any direction.
