HAVE KIDNEYS
 EXAMINED BY
 YOUR DOCTOR
Take Salts to Wash Kidneys if Back Pains You of Bladder
 Bothers

Flush your kideys by drinking quart of water each day, also take salts occasionally, says noted author ity, who tells us that too much rlch food forms acids which almost paralyze the kidneys in their efforts to expel It from the blood. They become sluggish and weaken; then you may suffer with a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick head ache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine gets cloudy, full of sedi- ment, the channels often get sore and irritated, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night.
 To help neutralize these irritating acids; to help cleanse the kidneys and flush off the hody's urinous waste, get four ounces o1 lad Salts from any pharmacy here. Take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for few days, and your kidneys may then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for years to help flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys; also to neutralize the acids in the system so they no longer irritate, thus often re- lieving bladder weakness"
 lad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in- jure and makes a delightful efferves- cent Whitewater drink. By all means have your physician examine your kid neys at least twice a year.-AdN.

 HOME CAMPAIGN
Quota Set At $10,0OO For Lodges Of Second
 District

The week of November 17 to 22 has been designated as ''Pythian Orphans Home Week." by the committee in charge of the campaign to raise S50,0OO among the Pythian lodges of the state, and every lodge and every member will be solicited, as near as possible, for contributions to this fund.
 Ben F. Ray. campaign chairman of the Second Pythian district, comprising about 20 Knights of Pythias lodges in Jefferson county and adjacent territory, states that the quota for the district is $10,000 and that he hopes to raise that amount by the end of the week.
 "When the Pythian order was founded by Justine Rathbone, in 1864, it was thought then by many to be largely an idealism," said Mir. Ray. For nearly 90 years this thought has been the basis of a great part of the activities of the order. But during the past decade, and especially since the World war, there has been a growing demand for something more concrete as an outward expression, using the idealism of the order as the background on which to build the concrete struc- ture.
 Therefore, practical Pythianism has become the keynote of the order. The result has been that in many states of the union Pythians have directed their efforts toward the erection of Pythian homes for the widows and orphans of deceased knights, who by their cir cumstances were under priviledged. Can idealism have a grander program or foster a cause more splendid?
 "The 10000 Knights of Pythias in Alabama have caught the spirit from other domains. Eighty acres of fine land suitable to our needs have been secured in Montgomery for our home !; S5O,OOO now in the treasury will be used for the construction of the first unit, work to begin about January l, 1925.
 "The campaign now on is to raise an additional S50,000 for the erection of a second unit. When this is completed Pythians in Alabama will be able to point with pride to idealism translated into practical Pythianism. Grand Chancellor S. l.. Johnson has thrown down the challenge to the Pythian hosts
