IF KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SAL IS
Says Backache is sign gu have
been eating too much
meat.
PAGE s.

When you wake up WITH 'backache
and dull misery in the/kidney region
it generally means you have been
eating too much meat, says we'll
known authority. Meat forms uric
acid which overworks the kidneys in
their effort to filter it from the
blood and they become sort of para
lyzed and loggy. When your kidneys
get sluggish and clog you must re-
lieve them, like you relieve your bow
els; removing all the body's urinous
waste, else you have backache, sick
headache, dizzy spells; your stomach
sours, tongue is coated, and when
the weather is bad you have rheu-
matte twinges. The urine is cloudy,
full of sediment, channels often get
sore, water scalds and you are oblig-
ed to seek relief two or three times
during the night.
Either consult good, reliable
physician at once or get from your
pharmacist about four ounces of Jad
Salts; take 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 clean and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
neutralize acids in the urine so it no
longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is life saver for regu-
lar meat eatesr. 1t is inexpensive,
cannot injure and makes delight
full, effervescent lithia-water drink.

BOARD VOTES $3.50 FOR
HOSPITAL AT SOLDIERS HOME

+ The recent Legislature enacted a
law ermitting Boards of Supervisors
of the various counties of the State
to appropriate $1,000 or less towards
the support of the hospital fund
which is being raised to erect a hos
pital at Beauvoir, the old soldiers
home. A committee, composed OF j..
L. Shinault, DR.. A. A. Young, j. G..
Gates was appointed to go before the
board of supervisors of Lafayette
county and ask for an appropriation,
presenting the matter to the board
for action After consideration, the
board agreed to appropriate $3.50 to
this most worthy cause.
It was a surprise to many of the
old veterans when it was learned
that the board had seen fit to make
such a small appropriation. La
fayette is receiving the benefit of as
much if not more pension money
than any county in the State, and
she is the home county of number
of the inmates of the Home.
The cause is a worthy one and an
effort will be put on foot to raise La
fayette county's quota of $1,000 by
public subscription, which it is be-
lieved can be done in short time.
The matter will be placed in the
hands of organizations and every
person in the county will have an
opportunity to contribute to the
fund.

MISS BIRKHEAD PROVES SHE'S

Demonstrates PrOwess When Her
Attorney Gets Lost"

Jackson, Miss, May 3.-Miss
Frances c. Birkhead, one of the
principals in the sensational 100000
damage suit against Gov. Lee M
Russell of Mississippi, is 'one of the
neatest little "cussers" in the state
of Mississippi.
She admits her ability as pro-
ficient swearer and late Tuesday
treated" newspaper men to sample
of her profanity.
Following dismissal of her suit
against Russell, Tuesday, by Judge
Edwin R. Holmes, in federal district
court, Miss Birkhead announced her
intention of returning to New Or
leans.
Pm so damn mad, I could almost
commit MURDER" Miss Birkhead de-
clared vehemently, following a three
hour search for her attorney, Thos.
K. Foster. Foster was to have made
reservation for his client on a New
Orleans train and at 1890 p. m. she
hadn't heard from him.
He will come strolling in here
about midnight and want me to
stay here another day, and when
he does I'm going to tell him, Hell,
no; I'm going to New Orleans to-
night
II always was given to profanity,
more or less, but something like this
makes me so damned mad 7 can't

Miss. Birkhead then purchased a
ticket for New Orleans and made
her own preparations to leave Jack

TEASDALE OIL STRIKE
NOT ILLOGICAL, SAYS
GEOLOGIST EASTON
Well Known Expret Visits Well And
Gives No Encouragement to the
Hopes of Those Who Are Con-
yinced of a Successful Test

There were no further develop
ments at the oil test well at Teas
dale this week.
O. r. B. Pace, superintendent in
charge, has been absent since last
Saturday, together with Charlie
Thompson, the driller. They have
been to Memphis and Chattanooga,
trying to get the proper casing pipe
and other necessary equipment for
bringing in the well. 1t is stated
that some of the much needed MA
terials were finally shipped from
Chattanooga yesterday.
H.. D. Easton, well-known geolo-
gist, of Shreveport, La, came to
Charleston yesterday and made a
trip to the oil-test well near Teas
dale, about ten miles north of this
city. He stated that it was not at
all illogical and that a paying bed
of oil may have been struck at that
location and at the depth reached
566 feet.
Mr.. Easton also stated that those
in charge of the operation are pursu-
ing absolutely the right course in
shutting down until the hole has
been securely cased-in fact that that
is the only thing to do.
Of course, Mr.. Easton was unable
to state any opinion as to whether
oil has really been struck. Those pres
ent Wednesday of last week when the
drill suddenly descended several feet
say they positively Saw OIL What
they saw soon became mixed with
the mud and water in the overflow
pool, and those in charge of the ma
chinery were so busy for some time
attending to shutting down and fill
ing the hole with muddy water to
prevent possible running of the
well that no sample was saved to be
exhibited.
Mr.. Easton, who is the same eN-
pert who was here in connection with
the preliminaries of the recent opera
tion near Paynes, south of Charles
ton, stated last night that he hoped
the casing pipe would not be delay
ed, as every day of delay would
initiate against success in bringing
in the flow successfully even if a
good pool has been struck.-Char-
lesion Mississippi Sun.
