Take a Glass of Salts if Your Back
Hurts or Bladder
Troubles You.

No man or woman who eats meat reg1-
lary can make mistake by flushing the
kidneys occasionally. says well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
excites the kidneys, they become over
worked from the strain, get sluggish and
fail to filter the waste and poisons from
the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and
urinary disorders came from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in the
kidneys or your back hurts or if the
urine il cloudy, offensive, full of sedi-
ment, Irregular OF passage or attended by
a sensation of scaldIng, stop eating meat
and get about four ounces Of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take a
tablespoonful in glass Of water before
breakfast and in few days your kidneys
will 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
the kidneys, also to neutragze the acids
in urine so it no longer causes irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood

POULTRY cULLINc SAVES $4,000


Hens Get Their's.
The poultry cnlling campaign in
Jasper County closed recently.
A total Of about 1000 birds were
handled and about 1900 culled out.
Counting that the culls cost the
farmer $2.50per year to feed, this
would make a direct saving of
$1,000. This is counting nothing
for those who attended the DEM
onstrations and then culled their
own hocks.
The demonstrations were at
tended by an average Oils famil-
les and the most of them lined up
to learn the art of culling.
Many reports were made about
the success OF culling by those
present, many declaring that it
made poultry raising profitable.
This is only one of the many
ways in which the Missouri Col
lege of Agriculture and the Farm
Bureau has been able through its
extension work to assist in making
Missouri a better place to live.
Please read the testimonials re-
ceived from those for whom we
culled this year and they kept the
culls on test for some time and
kept records of same.
