II LESS MEAT
IF BACK HURTS
Take glass of Salts to flush Kidneys
if Bladder bothers you-Drink
lots of water

Eating meat regularly eventually pro-
duces kidney trouble in some form or
other, says a well-known authority, be-
cause the uric acid in meat excites the
kidneys, they become overworked; get
sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of
distress, particularly backache and mis-
cry in the kidney region; rheumatic twin
ges, severe headaches, acid stomach, coz
stipatiou, torpid liver, sleeplessness,
bladder and urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
flush elogged kidneys and stimulate them
TO normal activity; also to neutralize the
acids in the urine so it no longer irri-
tates, thus ending bladder disorders.

Two latest type Curtiss aero
planes, similar to those used by the
y. S. army, and fully equipped for
long distance flying, are making a
tour over eight states, visiting $50
cities and town. The planes carry
a consignment of Wrigley's chewing

cago, the largest chewing gum manu-
facturer in the world, has charter
ed these planes to exemplify com

The tour is under the direction
of John N. Hammond, representing

turned from overseas service with
the 26th division. His pilots are C.
R. Borkland, formerly of the British
Royal Flying Corps Air Force, and
j W. Schroeder, formerly instruct
or in the U. S. Air Service.
The "Spearmint One" and "Spear-

ornamented with Wrigley trade
marks and packages. They will drop
twenty-five small parachutes upon ar
rival over a city, each parachute car
rying a package of gum, and four
of them containing complimentary
ticket which will be honored for a
free ride in one of the aeroplanes
Finders of these tickets ride free
others will be taken for birds

The tour will cover the middle

months. Manufacturers of light
package goods are watching the

is much in favor of the Aero Ex-
