Uric acid in meat excites the kid

sluggish, ache, and feel like Jumps of

bladder is irritated, and you may be
obliged to seek relief two or three

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
kidney region, you suffer from back
ache, sick headache, dizziness, stom-
ach gets sour, tongue coated and you
feel rheumatic twinges when the
weather is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots of water;
also get from any pharmacist four
ounces of Jad Salts; take a table,
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This fam

generations to clean clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to normal activi-

irritation, thus ending bladder weak

Harry Williams, who is much better
known by the sobriquet of Marcus
Daily" returned last week from Idaho
where he has been mining for num-
Der OF months. MIR. Williams is one of
the oldest and best known miners and
prospectOrs in northern Okanogan
county How long he has tracked his
feet through the mountains of this
part OF the state in the quest of hid
den and elusive precious metals, living
largely on hope much of the time, we
know not, but he was chasing float
and occasionally pounding a drill
twenty years ago around the old Loo
mis- camp. when that place was the
Mecca for most of the old ground
scratchers of early days. In the course
of time and vicissitudes of the ups
and downs Of the prospector's life
Harry managed to stake out some
very choice claims, not only juicy as
regards territory embraced but pre-
senting possibilities of wealth from
excellent mineral showings thereon.
He has been on the eve of making a
turn that would put him comfortably
on Easy street number of times and

in his favor II he can stave off the
grim reaper for few years, as he has
an attractive proposition on in his
holdings. Williams may be back to
stay, or it may be fleeing visit to
his old stamping ground, but so long
as he holds his claims they will be an
attraction to draw him back to this To-
cality no matter where he may 60 from
here.
