EAT LESS MEAT
IF BACK HURTS
Take a glass of Salts to Flush Kid
neys if bladder bothers
you.

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some
form or other, says 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 distress,
particularly backache and misery in
the kidney region; rheumatic twin
ges, severe headaches, acid stomach,
constipation, torpid liver, sleepless-
ness, 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 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 boon used for generations
to flush clogged kidneys and stimu-
late them to normal activity; also to
neutralize the acids in the urine so it
no longer irritates, thus ending blad-
der disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes delightful effervescent 18th
ia-water drink which millions of men
and women take now and then to
keep the urinary organs clean, thus

Amundsen Getting
Ship Ready for a
Long Trip to Pole

Seattle, WASH, Jan. 21.-Final
provisioning and equipping of the
exploring ship Maud, in which Cap.
tain ROAD Amundsen, noted Norwe-
Slan explorer and discoverer of the
south pole, will resume his interrupt
ed Arctic expedition next MAY. is
oelng completed as the stout little
snip lies in the land-locked waters
OF Lake Union here.
A smashed propeller blade lost
in the ice off the northeastern Sibe-
ran coast, last year forced Captain
Amundsen to bring the Maud to Sc
attic for repairs. When the journey
is resumed the vessel will carry four
extra blades so that similar acct
dent may cause only a temporary
hault to the expedition The Maud
will carry provisions for seven
years, although the explorer does
not expect the trip to occupy more
than five years at the most.
The most important of the Maud's
equipment, in Captain Amundsen's
opinion, will be the two airplanes,
purchased in Norway and shipped
here recently and which will be used
in the making of extensive geo.
graphic and photographic surveys
for a thousand miles on either side
Of the vessels track through the
northern seas. The primary purpose
of the expedition, which is operating
under the auspices of the Norwegian
government, is to study the move
ment of the Arctic ice pack, the eff
feet OF ocean currents, magnetic in
fIuences and other phenomena of the
Polar regions, The airplanes, Cap
tain Amundsen expects, will be of
great value in this work. He said
that he would probably use them to
reach the north pole should his plan
to drift past the pole with the ice
pack prove not feasible. A wireless
equipment installed aboard the
Maud will be used to broadcast mes
sages when he reaches the top of the
world.
Captain Amundsen expects to
strike Immediately into the outward
or northern drift of the ice as it
leaves Boring sea next spring, and
to swing with the northeasterly cur
rent early in the summer.
With the explorer will be Captain |
Oskar Visiting sailing master, who
