up and asked if he might join US. I

couldn't answer, for although he had
been very nice to Rose this time,

quet for the evening.

doing, you two. You look as fresh as

an admiring look.

that she had met him again at tea.

nothing complimentary to me after
saying something nice to Rose.
Rose was not tactful girl. Af-
ter Everett left US to dress for din
ner she said:
81 notice you still decorate the
walls with Number One"
Everett thinks it would cause

GLASS Of SALTS
CLEANS KIDNEYS
If your Back is aching or Bladder
bothers, drink lots of water
and eat less meat.

When your kidneys hurt and your back
feels sore, don't get scared and proceed
to load your stomach with a lot of drugs
that excite the kidneys and irritate the
entire urinary tract. Keep your kidneys
clean like you keep your bowels clean,
by flushing them with mild, harmless
salts which removes the bOdy's urinous
waste and stimulates them to their nor
NAL activity. The function of the kid
neys is to filter the blood. In "a hours
they strain from it 500 grains of acid
and waste, so we can readily understand
the vital Importance of keeping the kid
neys active.
Drink lots of water-you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast each morning for a few
days and 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 genera
tions to clean and stimulate clogged kid
news; also to neutralize the acids in
urine so it no longer is a cource Of irri-
t. tion, thus ending bladder weakness.
lad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
lure; makes a delightful efferyescent
iithia-water drink which everyone should
take now and then to keep their kid
neys clean and active. Try this, also
keep up the water drinking, and no
doubt you will wonder what became of
your kidney trouble and backache.
