IF BACK HURTS
BEGIN ON SALTS
Flush the Kidneys at once when Back
achy or Bladder bothers-Meat
forms uric acid.

No man or woman who eats meat regu-
1arly can make a mistake by flushing
the kidneys occasionally, says a we'll
known authority. Meat forms uric acid
which clogs the kidney pores so they
sIuggishly filter or strain only part of
the waste and poisons from the blood,
then you get sick. Nearly all rheuma-
tism, headaches, liver trouble, nervous
ness, constipation, dizziness, sleeplessness,
bladder disorders come from sluggish kid
neys.
The moment you feel dull ache Id the
kidneys or your back hurts, or if the
urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sedi-
ment, irregular of passage or attended
by sensation of scalding, get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any reliable
pharmacy and take tablespoonful Ia
q 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, COM
bined with lithia and has been used for
generations to flush clogged kidneys and
stimulate them to activity, also to neu-
tralize the acids in urine so it no longer
causes irritation, thus ending bladder dis
orders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes a delightful effer-
vescent lithia-watar drink which all reg
ular meat eaters should take now and
then 70 keep the kidneys clean and the
blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kid
ney complications

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION
By President Wilson

THE season approaches when it
bebooves us to return from the dis
fractions and preocupations of our
daily life, that We may contemplate
the mercies which have been vouch-
safed to us, and render heartfelt and
unfeigned thanks unto God for His
manifold goodness.
'"This is an old observance of the
American people, deeply imbedded
in our thoughts and habit The bur-
dens and the stresses OF life have
their own insistence.
Lessons of War Healing
1--WE have abundant cause for
thanksgiving. The LESSONS of the
war are rapidly healing. The great
army of free men which America
sent to the defense of liberty, re-
turning to the grateful embrace of
the nation, has resumed the useful
pursuits of peace as simply and as
promptly as it rushed to arms in
obedience to the country's call. The
equal justice of our laws has re-
ceived steady vindication in the
support of law-abiding people
against various and sinister attacks,
which have reflected only the baser
agitations of war, now happily pass
ing.
'FIn plenty, security and peace our
Virtuous and self-reliant people face
the future, it's duties and it's oppor-
tunities. May we have vision to dis
Germ our duties; the strength, both
of hand and resolve. to discharge.
to realize that the truest oppOrtun
tiles are those of service.
Spirit of Devotion
"In a spirit, then, of devotion and
stewardship we should give thanks
in our hearts, and dedicate ourselves
to the service of Gods merciful and
loving purposes to his children.
"Wheretore, I, Woodrow Wilson,
president of the United States of
America, do hereby designate Thurs
day, the twenty-fifth day of Novem-
Der next, as day of thanksgiving
