# KIDNEYS AND
BLADDER BOTHER
Take q glass Of Salts to fuah out your
Kidneys and neutralize irri'
tating acids.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says q noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder, where
it often remains to irritats and inflame,
causing q 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 scalding
sensation and is very profuse; again,
there is difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call It,
because they can't control urination.
While it is extremely annoying and some
times very painful, this is really one Of
the most simple ailments to overcome.
Get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from your pharmacist and take table
spoonful in glass of water before
breakfast, continue this for two or three
days. This will neutralize the acids in
the urine so it no longer is q source Of
irritation to the bladder and urinary or.
gans 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 splen-
did for kidneys and causes no bad
effects whatever.
Here you have pleasant, effervescent
Whitewater drink, which quickly relieves
bladder trouble.

INSURED HAVE

Automobile Accidents Lead
In Mortality Record,
Report Says.

The favorable health situation
which has prevailed this year among
insured wage earners has continued
during the month of October. 1t is
true that the general death rate was
a little higher than the preceding
month, but IL was, nevertheless, q
very low rate compared with that
for October OF other years.
In the large cities Of the country,
the population rate was Ill per
1000. which is also slightly higher
than that for September and lower
than that for October. 1919. The in
surance and the general death rates
are in close agreement. The favor
able health situation Is due. for the
most part. 70 the continued low NOR
tality from tuberculosis and pneu-
monia. During October. 1919, the
tuberculosis death rate was 1855;
this year II was 1S.l. The October.
1919, pneumonia rate was al, as
compared with the remarkable figure
of 37.9 this year. The death rate for
organic disease OF the heart was
substantially the same during this
month for each of these years.
The less favorable features Of the
months mortality record are the
high rates for diphtheria and auto

presses Where Statis-
tics Fail.

Good success has been made in
interesting young men in saving
money through life insurance by
using a simple diagram, says r. L.
Herschberger. according to the Pa
cific Mutual News. Men :. in the
earlier part Of their productive Pc
riod-in the twenties and thirties-
are the hardest to interest in life
insurance, as every agent knows.
This Is because they have On over
abundance of seif-conidence ana
feel quite certain-that they are 60
ing to succeed in life.
Young men are not easily infiu-
enced by statistics that show the
percentage of men in the different
periods of life who are failures.
They either fail to catch the full
significance of such statistics or
have the impression that you are
trying to scare them into life in
surance; but the average young
American does not scare easily.
A simple diagram. however. is
easily understood and has the ap-
pearance of mathematical finality

FEW AUTOISTS
INSURANCE
Less Than One-tenth
Auto Owners Protected
By Risk Policies.

The field of automobile insur-
ance possibilities has barely been
scratched, according to the Standard
Accidently Insurance monthly. sta
tisticians have estimated conscrva-
lively that by the first of 1891 there
will be more than 100000 OF au-
tomobiles in use in this country and
that less than ]. 100000 Of them will
be covered by insurance Of any
kind.
Daily the need of such forms OF
coverage is being impressed upon
the uninsured. Newspapers and
magazines throughout the country
are regularly devoting a great deal
of attention to the severe conges-
ton of city streets and country
roads. the increasing number OF new
drivers. the many public safety
campaigns. and the multitude OF ex-
cessive and often unjust automobile
damage suit verdicts All, this has
its effect upon the man who drives
an automobile.
With the unlimited field of pros
poets IL remains for the live agent
to start his campaign of education
and solicitation. The future should
be one continuous harvest time for
the insurance man in the held who
realizes conditions and takes full
advantage of this opportunity.
Policies now are written on such
risks as taxicabs, omnibuses. auto
mobile liveries and other similar
lines which. until a short time ago
were considered too hazardous for
insurance. Policies of this kind are
written by the associated companies
made up of eight OF the countrys
leading casualty companies.
Automobile insurance Is here. to
stay and is rapidly becoming one
of the most important of the cas-
ualty lines.
