And Still They Keep II Up

There was another accident. or near
accident, at the corner Of Union and
Water streets late Thursday after
noon. This one had no bad effects and
was rather comic. A youngster cheer
fully playing in the exact middle OF
the road, just a little way up Union
street, looked up to find car nearly
upon him. He retreatcd. performing
three rapid whirls worthy of real
acrobat. In the gathering dusk so rap
idly were first heels and then head up
permost that the spectator could hard
ly tell whether the substance behind
the dust cloud was one boy or two. 1t
would seem to be the part of wisdom
for parents. who are not anxious to
pay doctors or hospital bills, to re-
strain the youngsters to the sidewalk.

Salts Fine for
Aching Kidneys
When Back Hurts Flush Your
Kidneys as You Clean
Your Bowels

Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels, sometimes get sluggish
and clogged and need a flushing occa-
sionally, else we have backache and dull
misery in the kidney region, severe
headaches, rheumatic twinges, torpid
liver, acid stomach, sleeplessness and
all sorts Of bladder disorders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney
region begin drinking lots of water.
Also get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any good drug store here, take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water be-
fore 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 IS intended to flush clogged kid
neys and help stimulate them to actiy-
itv 1t also helps neutralize the acids
in the urine so they no longer irritate,
thus helping to relieve bladder dis
orders.
lad Salts is Inexpensive; makes a
delightful effervescent lithia water drink
which everybody should take now and
then TO help keep their kidneys clean.
A well-known local druggist says he
sells lots of Jad Salts to folks who be-
Teve in trying to correct kidney trouble
while it is only trouble. BY all means
have your physician examine your KID
neys at least twice year.
