TAKE SALTS TO FLUSH KIDNEYS
Eat Less Meat II You Feel Backachy
or Bladder Troubles You-Salts
Is Fine for Kidneys

Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their eff
forts to filter it from the system. Reg
ular eaters of meat must flush the kid
|neys occasionally You must relieve
them like you relieve your bowels; re-
moving all the acids, waste and poison,
else you feel dull misery in the kid
|ney region, sharp pains in the. back
or sick headache dizziness, your stom-
ach sours, tongue is coated and when
the weather is bad you have rheumat-
ic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full
of sediment; the channels often get r.
ritated, obliging you to get up two or
three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four. ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take a table
spoonful In a glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and your kid
neys will then act fine and bladder dis
orders disappear. 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 and
stop bladder irritation. Jad Salts is
inexpensive; harmless and makes a
delightful effervescent lithia water
drink, which millions of men and WON
EN-, take now and then, thus avoiding
serious kidney and bladder diseases.

ABOUT LOVE AND MARRIAGE
Signs Reveal Something, but Fact Re.
mains That We All Have to
Take a Chance.

:. No man is ever really in love who
can say so with all the ease, ardor and
eclat Of stage lover. No man ever
loved woman just because she was
good. The man who says pretty things
to his wife all the time may have had
lots Of practice either before or since
his marriage. aa ar.- 'rN a.
The husband who never gives his
wife decent word or compliment
would knock down any other man who
1, would treat her in the same way.
% The sincerest lovers are those who
are tongue-tied, and don't know where
to put their feet.
A man who seems very stupid in
crowd can often be extremely interest
ing in dimly-lit, cozy corner with only
one other person present.
There are two kinds of courage
the courage Of the limelight, which
prompts nice young man In white
ducks to jump overheard after girls
handkerchief, and the real courage
that makes man face the horrors of
a fashionable wedding, the torture Of
meeting the bills of a housekeeping
apartment, and the agonies of walking
the floor all night with a baby. The
two are seldom coupled in one young
man.
The first wife Of widower never
was such an angel as she seems to him
after his second marriage.
A man is like piece Of cloth-war-
ranted to wash-and matrimony is the
laundry. It may improve him. give
him starch and freshen him up, or it
may take al the color out Of him. You
have to take the chances. Philadel-
phia Inquirer.
