MEAT CAUSE Of
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys
If Back Hurts or Bladder
BOthers.

If you must have your meat every
day, eat it, but flush your kidneys with
salts occasionally, says a noted auth
ority who tells us that meat forms
uric acid which almost paralyzes the
kidneys in their efforts to expel it
from the blood. They become slug
gish and weaken, then you suffer with
dull .lisery in the kidney region,
sharp pains in the back or sick head
ache, dizziness. your stomach sours,
tongue is coated and when the wealth
er is bad you have rheumatic twinges.
The urine gets cloudy, full of sediment,
the channels often get sore and irri-
tated, oblging you to seek relief two
or three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the body's urinous waste get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here; 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 and
stimulate sluggish kidneys. also to
neutralize the acids in urine so it no
longer irritates, thus ending Bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive: cannot in
jure, and makes a delightful efferves-
cent lthia-water drink

Sports and Evening
Wear Exclusive

1t has been predicted and seems to
be fast coming true, that a day will
arrive when only two kinds of dress will
exist, sports wear and evening wear.
What simplification of matters and
economy of money and time spent on
clothes this dictum will effect.
Consider the separate items Of won :
ans wardrobe which have come under
the sports influence. There are coats,
suits, dresses. capes, skirts, blouses,
sweaters, scarfs, hats, footwear and
everything else in sports accessories
Even our lingerie has felt the urge
and is decking itself with tailored bands
Of checked ginghams and coloring it
self loudly. To limit oneself to type
does not limit ones fancy. Sports
clothes allow of almost every indulg-
ence of the fancy as to color and ma
terial and styles, and what one desires
in the way of very feminine frills and
soft materials and ultra frivolities NAV
be gratified in ones evening attire.
1t is the swagger. the effect of easy
nonchalance and entire freedom from
the thought of ones clothes, that gives
the sports type its appeal, and then it
is almost universally becoming.
The three piece costume is the most
interesting development of the sports
idea and in it's most novel and delight
full expression it takes the form of
dress and cape. Then there is a suit
and cape. and again a combination of
the latter topped off with a hat to
match. The sports hat, of course. is
an essential part of successful whole.
Cape and hat may be worn together.
suit and hat. or the entire outfit at
once. Tweed, homespun. jersey, crepe
knit. kasha and all manner Of knitted
silk and wool are the prized materials
that contribute toward making sports
wear the attractive feature that it is.
