HEAVY MEAT EATERS
HAVE SLOW KIDNEYS
Eat less meat if you feel Backachy OF
have bladder trouble-Take
glass Of Salt&

No man or woman who eats meat reCIl-
larly can make a mistake by flushing the
kidneys occasionally, says well-nown
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
excites the kidneys, they become over
worked from the strain, get sluggish and
fail to filter the waste and poisons from
the blood, then We get sick. Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, dizziness, sleeplesaness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in the
Kidneys or your back hurts or if the
urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sedi-
ment, irregular Of passage or attended by
q sensation of scslding, stop eating meat
and get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take .
tablespoonful in glass of water before
breakfast and in few days your kidneys
will act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon jules,
combined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush and stimulate
the kidneys, also TO neutralize the acids
in urine so it no longer causes irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and csunot
injure; makes q delightful eferwescent
Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications.

SCHOOLS MAKE A
SPLENDID BEGINNING
OPENING WEEK 355 PUPILS
WERE ENROLLED-THE OUT
LOOK is VERY BRIGHT.

The opening attendance of the
Dawson public schools was a splendid
one. The records show that 355
pupils were enrolled the first week.
Every teacher reported for duty, and
no time was lost in getting down to
real work. Notwithstanding the fact
that the weather was very unfavor-
able a part of the week the at
tendance was very gratifying.
Both pupils and patrons seem de-
termined to establish a new record
for punctuality. This is as it should
be, for regular attendance will help
solve the problem brought about on
account of lost time.
Extra care is taken to keep pupils
comfortable in cold weather and on
rainy days. Unless pupils are sick
there is little reason why they should
not attend every day.
The school has made a good begin
ming. 1t is hoped that the good work
may continue

palace that twilight overlook him
