If KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache Is Sign You Have
Been Eating Too Much
Meat.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
1t generally means you have been
eating too much meat, says a WELL
known authority Meat forms uric
acid which overWorks the kidneys in
their effort to filter it from the blood
and they become sort of paralyzed
and loggy. When your kidneys get
sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve, your bowels;
removing all the body's Grinous waste,
else you have backache, sick headache,
dizzy spells; your orhach sours,
tongue is coated, and when the wea-
Their is bad you have rheumatic
twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of
sediment, channels often get sore,
water scalds and you are obliged to
seek relief two or three times during
the night.
Either consult good reliable phys
iclan at once or get from your phar-
macist about fouT ounces of lad
Salts; take a tablespoonful in a 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 tor generations to neutralize &C
ids in the urine SO it no longer irri-
tates, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is life saver for regular
meat eaters. It is inexpensive, can
not lnjure and makes delightful, eff
tervescent lithiawater drink.-(adv.

MERCHANT FINANCIAL
WRECK

Il am a financial wreck because
of the expense of doctors and medi
cine for my wife. She has been a
chronic sufferer for 10 years. Some
pronounced it gall stones, some gas
trltis and some intestinal inflanlma-
ton. l happened to read an adj OF
Mayr's Wonderful Remedy and from
the first dose my wife has steadily
improved" 1t is a simple, harmless
preparation that removes the ca
tarrhal mucus from the intestinal
tract and allays the inflammation
which causes practically all sto ach,
liver and intestinal ailments, including
appendicitis. One dose will convince
or money refunded. -(adv.)

Also in Hotel Blaze
Family Lost $4,000 and
Had Narrow Escape From
Flames at Fortress Monroe

Charles NJ. Schweinert, his wife and
their daughter Marjorie were finishing
their dinner at 7:10 O'Clock last night
at AZ Riverside Drive and congratu-
lating themselves on being at last in
their own home which, because of
strikes and high prices it had taken
them year and $4,000 to redecorate
to suit their tastes. Although Mr.
Schweinert bought the house q year
ago, he was able to move in only
three weeks ago.
Suddenly a white-faced maid burst
into the room and, needless Of the
shocked remon frances of the butler
cried to Mrs. Schweinert:
Please, ma'am, there's a gentleman
at the door and he says the house is
ahre and he has sent in an alarm"
Flames Shoot Through Roof
Sparks and smoke edd ed around the
family as they emerged from the front
door and, looking up, they saw that
the whole top floor Of their four-stor,
whltestone home was afame. Flames
were shooting through the roof ano
curling about the gables.
The fire was through the roof when
DR.. c. F. c. Mehlig, Of 527 Fifth Ave.
nue., who had been visiting g patient
discovered it. He was passing the
Schweinert home.
From the top floor the fire ate its
way to the first floor despite the eff
forts of Deputy Chief Thomas
Dougherty and his men, burning out
the entire three upper stories. Mr.
Schweinert placed the damage at nearly
Sl50, 900. Between fire and water, he
SAID, all the renovating which he had
accomplished at such expense of money
and patience, was wreck.
Embers From Dump Suspected
He asserted the fire must have heen
started by embers from dump of
the Street Cleaning Department at
seventy seventh Street and the Hud-
son River, where rubbish is burned
every evening. He and other residents
OF the vicinity had complained fire.
duently of this fire, he said, both be-
cause OF the offensive odor and danger.
Complaints brought nothing, Mr..
Schwelnert said, except an explanation
from the Street Cleaning Department
that the rubbish had to be burned be-
cause there were not scows enough to
handle it.
Deputy Chief Dougherty said the fire
might or might not have been started
from the dump fire. 1t might as easily
have resulted from defective insulation
he thought
Mr.. Schweinert is a manufacturer of
automobile valves He and his family
barely escaped with their lives from the
recent fire in the Hotel Chamberlin at
Fortress Monroe. In that fire they lost
Jewelry and clothing valued at $25 900.
