URIC ACID IN MEAT
CLOGS THE KIDNEYS
Take glass Of Salts if your Back hurts
or Bladder bothers you-Drink
more water.

If you must have your meat every day,
eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts
occasionally, says a noted authority who
tells us that meat forms uric acid which
almost paralyzes the kidneys in their eff
forts TO expel it from the blood. They
become sluggish and weaken, then you
suffer with a dull misery in the kidney
region, sharp pains in the back or sick
headache, dizziness, your stomach sours,
tongue is coated and when the weather
is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or three
time during the night.
{ To neutralize these Irritating acids, to
cleanse the kidneys and flush of the
body's urinous waste get four ounces of
Jad Salts from any pharmacy here;
take a tablespoonful in q 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 flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralixe the acids in urine,
so it no longer irritates, thus ending
bladder weakness.

The De Forest laboratories of High
Bridge, N. Y, announced that during
the last thirty days wireless telephone
conversations have been carried on
between Ossining and Chicago. a dis
lance of some 900 miles. as well as
with cities and towns in Indiana, Ohio,
western New York, and South Caro-
lima, with the use Of small aerial,
a low wave length, and power of only
one-third of one kilowatt.
Robert +. Gowen, engineer In
charge of the De Forest Radio COM
pany station at Ossining, said that the
success during the last month, in the
face of all sorts of weather difficulties
was ascribable to new type of mod
ulating circuit and the use Of new
glass in the De Forest audion--a de-
vice which earned for that particular
kind Of apparatus the term of bottled
wireless"
Claims Saving Of Expense.
After asserting that the experiments
pointed to the elimination Of expen-
sive, high-powered generators and tell
ing how he had worked entirely on the
375 meter amateur wave length, Mr..
Gowen said:
1.-THE effect of the new circuit is to
render the voice transmission much
clearer. while the use of new type
of glass permits of much greater input
circuit In the development of wire
less power.
"It is further interesting to note
that all my experiments are being con-
Quoted on a comparatively low wave
length-that is to say, the special
amateur wave lengths permitted by
the government regulations. In addi-
ton, the experiments show that the
distance between Ossining and Chicago
is covered by using one third of the en-
or oscillating audion is capable of

Improvements made on radio appa-
ratus during the war. At that time
radio experts were able to talk from
airplane to the ground and from ship
to ship for only few miles.

the whereabouts of their mother who,
too, had remained with her old master.
