EAT LESS MEAT
IF BACK HURTS
Take a Glass of Salts to Flush
Kidneys ii Bladder Bothers
You.

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some
form or other, says a well known
authority, because the uric acid in
meat excites the kidneys, they be-
come overworked; get sluggish;
clog up and cause all sorts of dis
tress, particularly backache and
misery in the kidney region: rheu-
matte twinges, severe headaches,
acid stomach. constipation, torpid
liver, sleeplessness, bladder and
urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or
kidneys aren't acting right, or if
bladder bothers you, get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any good
pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in
a glass of water before breakfast
for 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 clogged kidneys and stimu-
late them to normal activity; also
10 neutralize the acids in the urine
so 1t no longer irritates, thus ending
bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone.
makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which millions of
men and women take now and then
to keep the kidneys and urinary
organs clean, thus avoiding serious
kidney disease.-(Advertisement.)

PRODUCTION OF
Milk 0FF;HEA1
CAUSE OF DROP
Newton and Sieyers Have Best In
dividual Herd and Producers,
Tester Finds.

Extreme heat, flies and poor pas
ture have tended to lower the pro-
duction of milk, according to report
of James C. Mccormick, of the Rock
Island county COW testing associa-
ton. In instances, however, where
herds have had good pasture, plenty
of grain and have been regularly
SPRAYED, the decrease has been
slight.
During June, five herds produced
milk testing over percent butter
fat, Is over 3.5 percent and seven
over percent Three cows nro-
duced over so pounds of fat, three
over 45~pounds, 10 from 40 to 40
pounds, Sc from 80 to 40 pounds.
The association produced 2S4 Az
pounds of milk containing S,49S
pounds of fat during June. This
was valued at $5,9S2. Feed cost
s1,561, leaving a profit of $4.4zi;
The average COW produced 34o,
pounds of milk containing zo.oS
pounds of fat
Mr.. Mccormick says OF the worn :,
"The best argument for testing
have found is the record OF nerus
that show increased production que
to balanced feeding and lower
cost of producing 100 pounds o.
milk. Farmers are Interested IN d
return for their work We have
tried to get the largest production
possible but have always taken into
consideration the cost OF produc-
ton. Real producers are given ev-
cry chance possible under ordinary
farm conditions The fact that 20
COWS have been sold for beef in four
months shows that farmers are
anxious to improve their stock"
Eradicates Tuberculosis.
The work OF eradicating tubercu-
losis from the herds was pushed
during the month and talks on CO.
operative buying were given.
The five highest producing COWS
were on the farms of w. H. New
ton. Jr.; Midvale, cleveland &
Holmes and John Sievers. The five
highest producing herds were those
of w. H. Newton, Jr., L. A. Schave,

PRINTERS WANT
EMPLOYERS TO
DEBATE POINTS
Hint They Want Opportunity to
Have Chamber of Commerce
Hear Evidence Of Agreement

Indications are that a challenge
will be issued to the employing
printers and binders of Moline.
Rock Island and Davenport, who

sued advertisements presenting
their side of the case. YESTERDAY
10 of the employing printers and
binders of the tri-cities in adver-
tisements, renewed declaration Of
the open shop plan, and added thew
are convinced that the best inter
ests of customers, employees and
owners are best served by a con-
tinuance of this policy.
The employers operate their es-
Establishments on the 4S-hour week
plan, deal. with employees as indi-
ViduaIs, make no agreements with
labor organizations, and refuse To-
deal with business agents or repre-.
sentatives of the unions which they

mand for higher pay were unwar-

the unions are planning this move.

want the debate held in the Cham
Der of Commerce rooms or in some

SUMMER FLU"
SCARE SECUTED
by PHYSICIANS
General Illness Result of Too
Strenuous Effort to Offset
Heat Discomfort.

The summer flu, reported to be
spreading rapidly in the middle
west is all a myth, accoring to DR..
A, n. Mueller. city physician. DR..
Mueller has heard much of the
new disease" recently, but says
that he does not place any cred
ence in the claims being made.
In various cities and towns there
is a marked difference of opinion
among the medical profession. In
Muscatine 1t is being claimed there
are l 200 summer flu" cases. Re-
gard.sss of the disease hundreds of
citizens of Muscatine are becoming
indfsposed with a mysterious mall
ady, although all are light cases.
Tha new disease is said to affect
the patient in almost the same
manner as the Spanish influenza,
which was so prevalent the winter
of 1888.
However, physicians who scout
the summer flu" idea, claim that
the indisposition of many people
is indirectly due to the extremely
warm weather.
They say the illness that has
stricken so many is caused by the
general lack f care. Standing in
draft to keep cool. eating foods
that cause the body to become over
heated and drinking large quanti-
ties of water. or using other meth
DDS of cooling off too suddenly, en-
couraged by summer weather and
over-indplgHd in this recent heat
wave, are causes of the widespread
Illness physicians say.
Much Whooping Cough.
Many children are affected, and
DIR. Mueller believes that many
light cases of whooping cough are
called summer flu" while the pa
tent is going through the first
stage of the epidemic.
The health officer stated that
such diagnosis was made recent
ly in this city, but declared that
physicians as a whole scout the
summer flu" theory.
In one instance a physician dag
nosed the illness of a child as
summer flu. In a few days the
child began a hacking cough. The
physician then changed his dag
nosis to whooping cough. DR..
Mueller says that with the excep-
ton OF whooping cough there Is
little other contagious disease in
RoFsl Island.
sa Wh0Oping Cough Increases.
Whooping cough has been on the
increase since the schools closed.
There are many cases where adults
have become affected and these
have been severe. There are nov
40 cases listed for this month and
probably scores of others where nc
report has been made. There i:
no smallpox, diphtheria or typhoid
fever, one case of scarlet fever and
not over half dozen cases o
mumps.
