eating foods which create acids,
says a well-known authority. An
excess Of such acids overworks the
kidneys in their effort to filter it
from the blood and they become
sort of paralyzed and loggy. When
your kidneys get sluggish and clog
you must relieve them, like you
relieve, your bowels, removing all
the body's waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy
spells; your stomach sours, tongue
is coated, and when the weather is
bad you have rheumatic twinges.
Either consult good reliable
physician at once or get from your
pharmacist about four ounces of
Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in
a glass of water before breakfast
for q few days and your kidneys
may then act fine, This famous
salts is made from the acid OF
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with nthia, and has been used for
years to help clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutraliZe
acids in the system, so they no
longer irritate, THUS often relieving

Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot
iniure and makes a delightful, ef
fervescent Whitewater drink. Drink
lots of soft water. By all means
have your physician examine your
kidneys at least twice q year,

HER SP0Ok AFFINITY
GETS DIVORCE SUIT.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 1s.-"Al-
fred" his wife's alleged affinity,
residing in the spirit world, has
mana ged, despite his disembodied
state, to break up the home of Earl
l.. Clark, according to divorce
suit filed against Mrs. Gertrude
Clark.
The husband declared that he
endured Albert for some months,
but when the invisible affinity be-
gan to predict, using Mrs. Clark as
an oral transmitting station, that
he would soon die, it got on his
nerves.
He charged his wife with cruel
and inhuman treatment, alleging
that she asked him to divorce her,
so she could marry a man who
would accept "Alfred's'' spiritual
guidance.
Repeated prediction by Mrs.
Clark, speaking for Alfred that
he would meet an early death have
alarmed him to such an extent that
he is suffering mental anguish, the
husband alleges.

The popularity and success Of
Dreco in other cities where the
