MEAT CAUSE OF KIDNEY TROUBLE Take Salts to flush Kidneys :. if Back hurts or Blad-
 der bothers

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 para lyzes the kidneys in their efforts to expel it from the blood. They be- come sluggish and weaken, then you suffer with a dull misery in the kid ney 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 times during the night
 To neutraIize these irritating acids, to cleanse the kidneys and flush on the body's urinous waste get four ounces of lad Salts from any phar- macy here; take a tablespoonful in c glass of water before breakfast for 8 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. neutralize the acids in urine, so 1t no longer irritates, thus ending blad- der weakness.
 lad Salts is inexpensive; cannot 1n- jure, and makes delightful efferves- cent Hthia-water drink.-Adv.

Ripe Olives Cause
Three More Deaths
In Bronx Family
Doctor Wires for Airplane
to Rush New Serum Here
From Illinois in Effort to
Save Last Two Victims

Three more members Of the Daldene
family died in Fordham Hospital yes
terday, making five deaths resulting
from eating ripe olives recently served
at their table at 1928 Hughes Avenue,
the Bronx. Two others are in the
hospital, one IF them at the point of
death and with only the slim hope that
saving serum may be rushed to this
city by airplane.
A report that such a serum had
been discovered and was to ba had at
the University Of Illinois reached DR..
John Riegelman, Bronx County medi-
cal examiner, yesterday, and he tele-
graphed to the university at once, ask
ing that if it had the remedy it be
dispatched without delay, by airplane
if necessary.
Child May Survive
Angelo Daldene, whose last hope
rests in the serum, probably will not
live beyond nightfali. Concetta Dali
dene, ten years DID, the other surviv-
ing patient, ate only one olive and is
not in such serious condition-al-
though Dr. Riegelman expressed the
with the fatal bacilN would kill an
adult.
"The presence of the deadly germs
in these olives" said DR.. Charles Nor
ris, chief medical examiner, ais due,
in my opinion. to the use Of the So
called cold pack process in their prep
aration. Undoubtedly the bacteria sur
vived the bottling, probably because
the fruit was not exposed long enough
to a sufficiently high temperature ,"
Health Commissioner Cope land agreed
with this explanation. and pointed out
that as the olives were of the "giant"
variety they probably required extraor-
dinary heat. The small, ripe olives,
such as ordinarily are served, would re-
quire boiling for a shorter length of
time, he pointed out. All Of the physi-
clans and chemists called attention to
the fact that only ripe olives were SUBJ
ject to the peril.
Seventy-one Bottles Seized
Seventy one bottles of the >"giant"
ripe olives, similar in appearance to the
one whose contents brought death to
the Daldene family, were seized at the
East Side store where the fruit was
purchased. The olives came from Cali
fornia.
The victims who died yesterday were
Paul Daldenc, his son Anthony and his
brother Angelo. Mrs. Paul Daldene,
who died Saturday, was the first to sue
cumb, and it was thought that her
death was due to natural causes. Then
her son Angelo died, and suspicious
we're aroused. Neither the afflicted
Concetta nor her brother Joseph, ten
years old, has been told yet of the
tragedy. Joseph ate none of the olives.
