CAMELS FAILED HERE.
Were Imported as Carriers in South
west Before Civil War.

The proposition to import camels in
to this country for use in the sandy
and arid regions of the Southwest is
nothing new-and unimportant. Even
if the motortruck had not come into be-
ing, the camel still would not solve any
try. The experiment was tried more
than 50 years ago. and failed then, and it
would probably fail again. ar.. ID. ..
y Congress made an appropriation in
1855, and a few years alter sent a dele
gatiol 10 Egypt to buy a cargo of eamels
and dromedaries for use in the South
west. After. many vicissitudes, some
thing like 80 Of the ANIMALS We're safely
landed in Texas. A few of them We're
bred and the herd slightly increased.
They were used for time in transport
ing goods from San Antonio, Texas, to
New Mexico, but the proposition was not
successful. The CIVIL war came along,
the camels were abandoned, and the
herd disappeared. They did not increase
as did the cattle and horses released
from captivity from one time to another.

Some of our American soldiers evidently
came into contact with the camel herds

could be proftably used in this country;
hence the proposition which is now made
to import them. But he was not famil-

SALTS If KIDNEYS
OR BLADDER BOTHER
Harmless TO Flush Kidneys and
Neutralize Irritating Acids.

Kidney and bladder weakness re-
suit from uric acid. says a noted au-
thority. The kidneys filter this acid
from the blood and pass it on to the
hladder, where it often remains to ir-
1itate and inflame, causing burning
scalding sensation, or setting up an
irritation at the neck of the bladder,
obliging you TO seek relief two or
three times during the night. The
sufferer is In constant dread. the
water passes sometimes with scala-
ing sensation and is very profuse:
asain, there Is difficulty in avoiding
il.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
it because they can not control uri-
nation. While It is extremely an
loving and sometimes very painful.
this is really one Of the most simple
ailmeQts to overcome. Get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from your phar-
naacist and take a tablespoonful in a
glass Of water before breakfast, con-
t.hue this for two or three days. This
will neutralize the acids In the urine
so it no longer is a source Of irrita-
ton to the bladder and urinary or
cans which then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive. harmless
and is made from the acid Of grapes
and lemon juice. combined with lithia
and is used by thousands of folks
who are subject to urinary disorders
caused by uric acid Irritation. Jad
Salts is splendid for kidneys and
causes no bad effects whatever.
Here you have pleasant, effer-
yescent Iithia-water drink. which
Gnictlv relieves bladder trouble.
