# BACKACHY OR
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Eat Less meat and take q glass Of
Salts to flush out Kidney
Drink plenty water.

Uric acid in meat excites the kidneys;
they become overworked; get sluggish,
ache, and feel like humps of lead. The
urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is irri-
tated, and you may be obliged to seek re-
lief two or three times during the night.
When the kidneys clog you must help
them flush off the body's urinous waste
or you'll be a real sick person shortly.
At first you feel dull misery in the kid
ney regiol, you suffer ION backache,
sick headache, dizziness, stomach gets
sour, tongue coated and You feel rheu-
matte twinges when the weather is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots of water;
also get from any pharmacist four ounces
of Jad Salts; take tablespoonful
in 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 clean clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to normal activity,
also to neutralize the acids in urine, so
it no longer is source of irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in
jure; makes delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone should
take now and then to keep the kidneys
clean and active. Druggists here say
they sell lots of Jad Salts to folks who
believe in overcoming kidney trouble
while it is only trouble.

DAIRYING IN MISSISSIPPI.
A Profitable Business that is In
creasing Wonderfully in this
State.

Agricultural College, Miss, Oct.
14.-Something like AN approx
mate idea of the gradual spread of
the dairying branch of the general
country life industry in Mississ-
ippi m yabe had by casual study
of the dairy division mailing list.
This list is in charge of Mr.. L. A.
Higgins, dairy husbandman of the
Agricultural College, and has
grown to large proportions during
the past few years. This list is
composed of bona fide farmers and
herd owners and carries more
than 5000 names, both white and
negro.
Incidentally to these 6000 and
odd dairying workers Mr.. Higgins
is giving some timely suggestions,
calling the attention to all dairy
farmers to the opportunities now
before them to make the most Of
the gradual increase in butter fat
prices, and also devote intelligent

DRINK HOT WATER
BEFORE BREAKFAST
Says you really feel clean, sweet
and fresh inside, and
are' seldom i'll.

Headaches are caused by auto
intoxication-which means self
poisoning. Liver and bowel pois-
ems, called toxins, sucked into the
blood excite the heart which
pumps the blood sc fast that it
congests in the smaller arteries
and veins Of the head, producing
violent, throbbing pain and dis
tress, called headache. You be-
come nervous, respondent, sick,
feverish and miserable, your
meals sour and almost nauseate
you. Then you resort to acetani-
lid, aspirin or the bromides,
which temporarily relieve but do
not rid the blood of these irrita-
ting toxins.
A glass Of hot water with a tea
spoonful Of limestone phosphate
in it, drank before breakfast will
not only wash these poisons from
your system and cure you of head
ache, but will cleanse, purify and
freshen the alimentary canal.
Ask your pharmacist for a
quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate. It is inexpensive, harm
less as sugar.
If you aren't feeling your best,
if tongue is coated Or you wake
up with bad taste, foul breath or
have colds, indigestion, bilious
ness, constipation or sour, acid
stomach, begin the phosphated
hot water cure to rid your system
Of toxins and poisons.
Results are quick and is claim
ed that those who continue to
fun out the stomach, liver and
bowels every morning never have
any headache Or know a miser-
able moment.

100 Per Cent Relief.
'The aim of the organization is 100
per cent relief, the relief which puts
those aided on a self-supporting basis,
which instills in them confidence for
the future, places in their hands the
means with which to begin life anew,
and in their hearts the courage to go
on. Work, that is the prescription
subscribed and provided by those loyal
men and women who have journeyed

IL the industrial establishments of the
Near East Relief, where wool is fur
nished for the women to spin and
weave, and all the girls who are strong
enough are washing wool, sewing beds,

problem is to make these women indie

Where Money Goes.
Funds for relief purposes are dis
tributed in two ways: First, the var-
Gus relief centers are authorized by
the Executive Committee to draw sight
drafts on New York FOR specific
amounts each month; second, by sup
plies purchased in America, the major
portion of which are shipped to the
COMMITTEES warehouses at Derindje,
and the remainder either to BeyrOuth
or Batoum.
"The relief is rapidly expanding and
meeting the situation, but the future
depends on the continuation of Ameri-
can support"
According to Mr.. Hemphill, the need
for American help to see the destitute
peoples Of the Near East through the
crisis of present conditions is greater
now than ever before on account of the
uncertainty as to the future, the trucu-
lence of the Turkish government and
the danger of bolshevisln from Russia,
which threatens TO engulf the whole of
Armenia.

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have The Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need OF it.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects url-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

Swamp Root by Parcels Post. Address
