HALTs HOLMES CASE TO
 SELECT MURDER TRIAL JIJPY

Trial of the Royal 6. Holmes case in the superior court today (Wednes- day) will not be resumed till noon as a jury is to be empanalled for the
 trial cf the Groton murder case in which Giacomo ShTaglio shot and killed Giuseppi .Darezzi
 Witnesses in this case were in court
 or. Tuesday and just before court ad-
 journcd Judge William M. Maltbie ad-
 dressed the jury. telling them that the
 court was to take the rather unusual course of halting the Holmes case
 while jury was selected for the
 murder case. The additional jurors i, had Ill been summoned in for Wed- nesday morning and it seemed adyis- able to carry out this plan that would save the state the expense of summon ing them in for another time He said the court would thus be reposing con- iidence in the present jury not to talk about the Holmes case to the other jurors with whom they would mingle and he hoped no one would abuse that confidence.
 He told the present jurors that they would have to be in court at 10 o'clock and some of them might be selected for the jury in the murder trial, and he told the attorneys in the Holmes case that it would be resumed at noon

SALTS IF BAcKAcHY
 AND KIDNEYS HURT
Stop Eating Meat for a While H Your Bladder Is Troubling You

When you wake up with backaehe and dull misery in the kidney region it generally means you have been eat ing too much meat, says well-knoWn authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworl1s the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and ioggy. When your kidneys get slug gish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; remov- ing all the body's urinous waste, else you have baclache, sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sotirs, tongue is coated, and when the wealth CT 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 ph1< sician at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, 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 l injure, and makes a delightful, effer- vescent hthia-water drink.
