II Kidneys Act
Bad Take Salts
Says Backache Is Sign You Have
Been Eating Too Much
Meat.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it may mean you have been eat
ing too much meat, says a 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 paralyzed
and laggy. When your kidneys get
sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels;
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 rheumat-
ic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full
of sediment, channels often get sore
water scalds and you are obliged to
seek relief two or three times during
the night
Either consult a 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 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 il
no longer irritates, thus often ending
bladder weakness.
lad salts is inexpensive, cannot in
jure and makes delightful, efferves-
cent lithia water drink. Drink lots OF
soft water. adv.

Chief Causes of Injury
to Improved Highways


The chief causes of injury to i'm
proved highways, used by motortrucks
are listed by observers as follows:
1. Overlooking of trucks.
z. Poor road material and construc
ton.
3. Speeding of trucks.
4. "UnSprung weight" or weight OF
a loaded truck not sustained b,
springs.
1T is an evidence of wisdom as wei
as justice toward all road users on the
part of highway officials to keep load
weights within reasonable bounds
says an expert.
1t isn't economy to load truck be
yond its capacity, he adds. "A truck
will stand some overload; the manu-
facturer refers to this as the factor OF
safety. 1t might better be called 6
factor of ignorance, for the additional
strength of the truck is expected by
the owner to support the additional
load put on 1t due to ignorance"
Don't blame the big truck, Is the

ideally all cases aScribed to the large
truck the real cause of road failur,
mas been some defect in design ant

up the roads. ut has been found" III
says, that Il large-capacity truck $,
designed as to have light unsprunj
