LESS MEAT IF BACK
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Take a Glass Of salts to Flush
Kidneys if Bladder
BotheTs You,

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says a well-known authority,
because the uric acid in meat ezcites
the kidneys, they become oyerworked;
get sluggish; clog up and cause all
sorts of distress, particularly back
ache and misery in the kidney region;
rheumatic twinges, severe headaches,
acid stomach, constipation, torpid
liver, sleeplessness, bladder and uri-
nary irritation.
The momdpt 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 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, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush clogged kid
neys and stimulate them to normal
activity; also to neutralize the acids
in the urine so it no longer irritates,
thus ending bladder disorders.
Q Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia,
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then to keep the
kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus
avoiding serious kidney disease.-Adv.

RENT PROF|-
TEERS IN AMARILLO
(From Amarillo News

A list of the names Of landlords in
Amarillo who are charging exhorbi-
tant rentals on buildings, both mer-
camille and residential, and who have,
within the past few months, increased
the rents on their buildings all the
way from 80 to 500 per cent is now
being compiled and is nearing COM
pletion, according to a statement
made yesterday by W. C. Pope, chair
man of the fair price commission, and
will be submitted direct to the United
States prosecuting attorney for any
action he may deem necessary in the
case of those he finds to be profiteer-
ing.
The high rent proposition has be-
come so acute in Amarillo, according
to Mr.. Pope. that the fair price COM
mission will not endeavor to regu-
late the per cent of profit to be made
from rentals by landlords, but will
submit all cases of profiteering di-
rect to the proper authorities to in
vestgate the cases and institute
criminal proceedings against those
who appear to be making an unrea.
sonable amount of profit from THEN
buildings.
Mr.. Pope said tht+ the list now
being compiled includes instances
where landlords have increased rent
ais on dwellings from $3.50 to $50
and on mercantile buildings and Of
fices from $50 to 5000 He is also
making his investigation to includ,
the taxes and insurance paid on thu
buildings, both for last year and fol
the present year, in justice to tn,
property cwner.
