MEAT INJURIOUS
TO THE KIDNEYS.
Take a Tablespoonful of Salts II
Back Hurts or Bladder
BOthers.

We are nation of meat eaters
and our blood is filled with uric
acid. says a weIl-known authority,
who warns US to be constantly on
guard against kidney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to
free the blood of this Irritating
acid, but become weak from the
overwork; they get sluggish: the
eliminative tissues clog and thus
the waste is retained in the blood
to poison the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps of lead, and you have
singing pains in the back or the
urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or
the bladder is irritable, obliging
you to seek relief during the night;
when you have severe headaches,
nervous and dizzy spells, sleepless-
ness, acid stomach or rheumatism
in bad weather, get from your phar-
macist about four ounces Of Jad
Salts; take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast each
morning and in a few days your
kidneys will act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid Of
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with 1ithia, and has been used for
generations to flush and stimulate
clogged kidneys, to neutralize the
acids in urine so it is no longer
source of irritation, thus ending
urinary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes a delightful ef-
fervescent lithia- water drink, and
can make a mistake by tax
ing a little occasionally TO keep the
kidneys clean and aCtive-(Adver-

FACING.
twsn.,a s.-,p,,r Union Ss,. serv,s.., ,

Paris, Jan. e.-Members OF the
council of the League Of Nations have
been talking informally on the advisa-
bility Of sending a special intermedi-
ary or envoy to PresIdent-elect Hard
ing Immediately after his Inaugural
tion.
The envoy will present the case of
the League Of Nations, and point out
the difficulties which European coun-
tries would experience In abandoning
the league and setting new form of
association Of nations.
Principal grounds for this conten-
ton are that the covenant Is part OF
the peace treaty which gives the
league administration over the Saar
valley. the Danxig region. and num-
ber Of mandates and plebiscites.
The view Is held among members Of
the French ministry that the solidar-
ity Of the treaty would be shaken II
the league part were abandoned.
This has led to a growing convic-
tiOn among the principal allied powers
that the league should be kept going
In some form. but not necessarily as
now constituted. the advisability Of re-
vision OF the covenant being quite
generally recognized.
1t is considered an understanding
on the future form Of the league could
be more readily reached II repre-
sentative Of the league council were
able to discuss the subject directly
with Mr.. Harding.
Confidence is expressed that II di.
rect discussion eliminated from the
covenant all that is Objectionable to
the United States, the President-eleci
would not insist on the abandonment,
OF the organization already at work.
