IF BACK HURTS
 BEGIN ON SALTS
Flush your kidneys occasionally if you eat meat
 regularly.

No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says well known authority. Meat forms uric acid which clogs the kid ney pores so they sluggishly filter or strain only part of the waste and poisons from the blood, then you get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, head aches, liver trouble, nervousness, constipation, dizziness, sleeplessness, bladder disorder come from sluggish kidneys.
 The moment you feel dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts, .or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of pas ,scalding, get about four ounces of IJad Salts from any reliable phar- macy and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a 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 activity, also to neu- traliZe the acids in urine so it nu longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder disorders.
 lad Salts is inexpensive and can not injure; makes a delightful effer yescent lithia-water dring which all regular meat eaters should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and the blood pure, thereby avoid ing serious kidney complications.

guards and the arming of them to go out and shoot and kill the employees, the arming of employees likewise to go out and kill their empIoyers-is a condition that cannot continue to ex- ist in 8 free Republic
 But Kenyon realizes now that the condition he described and condemned in his report of nearly eight years ago has continued to "exist in a free Republic" and the testimony already given before the present committee has disclosed the same kind of con dition which startled the country when the Paint Creek and the Cabin Creek investigation was made.
 Federal Ownership Solution
 It was Senator Swanson, chairman of the first Senate committee, who wrote in 1914:
 God has blessed West Virginia with topography grand to contem- plate; wealth unparalleled in coal, iron and oil; her hills fairly groan with undeveIoped resources, and all these at the very threshold of the great marts of trade and commerce of our country. Here should peace, plenty and happiness reign supreme. On the contrary your committee found disorder, riot, bitterness and blood | shed in their stead. In no spirit of malice or hatred. but with a view l that the country, through knowledge l of the true conditions, may right the wrong, I charge that the hiring of | armed bodies of men by private mine
 
 l trains, machine guns and b1oodhounds | on defenSeless men. women and chill | dren is but Q little way removed from barbarism. Asked what is my solu- ton of this and similar unhappy con- ditionS I would state: A millionaire owner of a. great section of West Vir- l ginia calmly admitted on the wit ness stand that so long as he got his per ton lease he never inquired fur | ther. Our duty under the premises is: Coal, under our civilization, is a necessity. This great commodity can | not be increased a fraction of a ing by leaps and bounds each year, thereby increasing the demands for this article With this condition ex- isting, and, with avarice as the dom mating charact eristic in man, at the risk of criticism by many of my friends and countrymen. unhesitating- ly say that government ownership of the mines is the only hope or Solu- tion for those who may come after us''

 plicable to similar conditions exist.

and we have extracted 100000 teeth in Bridgeport!


 I had just returned from lunch the other day and had but hardly dOnned my white office eoat-When an elderly man entered the of flee and asked for me.
 Of course he was quick ly uShered into my private office and he took his place in my chair.
 As I looked into his face I saw that peculiar ex- pressiOn-that appearance of intense pain that he was evil dently holding back. He ex- piained in but few words that his tooth ached - ached so that he had had but little sleep the past few nights.
 So I made 8 close examination to see what caused the tooth in question to ache and touching it with one of my instruments - he Winced slightly.
 "Hurt?" I asked the old man!
 "N mop e !" n-not much" replied my patient.
 I knew that it did hurt him-and hurt him a lot but for some reason that was beyond me-he was taking the punishment like a good fellow.
 "That tooth will have to come out" | remarked af- ter completing the prelimin- ; ary examination, ~and | sup pose you'll want me to give you something so that you won't feel it, won't you" I suggested smiling.
 "N-nope" replied my strange patient.
 Well, this was quite unusual, but I let him have his way and so the tooth was removed in jig time.
 After he arose from the chair and was making ready to leave | aSl<ed-''HOW do you feel, better?"
 "Yep!" replied the old man and just as he stepped to leave my office he turned back and looking me square in the eye he asked
 "Say doctor! I didn't make as much fuss as that feIler from Fairfield did that you wrote about the other day in the paper did I?''
 "No!" I replied. ''You sure didn't'' and he smiled and was tickled as could be.
 But-there's a big nor al to what this elderly man did. All dental work does not mean the introduction of pain-and in case there will be pain-We have methods whereby we fix up your teeth without hurting you a bit. If. we hurt you've don't want you to pay us penny.
 Come up any time-ask for any one of us.
 And we have extracted 100000 teeth in Bridgeport. DDC WETDTTTu
