Drugs Excite
the Kidneys,
Drink Water
Take Salts at First Sign of
Bladder Irritation or
Backache

The American men and women must
guard constantly against kidney trouble
because we often eat too much rich food
Our blood is filled with acids which the
kidneys strive to filter out they weaken
from oyerwork, become sluggish, the
eliminatiye tissues clog and the result
is kidney trouble, bladder weakness aud
a general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like humps
of lead; your back hurts or the urine
is cloudy, full OF sediment, or YOU are
obliged to seek relief two or three times
during the night; If you suffer with sick
headache, or dizzy, nervous spells, acid
stomach, or il you have rheumatism
when the weather is bad, begin drink
ing lots of good soft water and get from
your pharmacist about four ounces of
Jad Salts. axe a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your Kidneys may then
act fine
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia, and has been used for
years to help flush and stimulate clogged
kidneys, to neutralizc the acids in the
system so they no longer are a source
Of irritation, thus often relieving blad-
der disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; can not in
jure, makes a delightful efervescent
lithia-water drink and belongs in every
home, because nobody can make a mis-
take by having a good kidney flushing
any time. BY all means have your ply
sician examine your kidneys at least
twice year.

SPRING AT HAND

Winter is the season of discontent in Alaska. The long cold nights. brok- en only by the raucous moans Of the snow shoe rabbit. and the twitter o1 inc early ice-worm are but reminders of the trip we meant to take and nev' or did. Instead of denning up with sack of pancake flour and a barrel or hootch. the Alaskan wastes his energy on pangvnga and penochle, When the sun peeks around the corner of the mountain and the water starts to run in the creeks our Tagging energies revive and we store up sunshine ana other beverages ready for the next pe- riod of hibernation. If Alaska ever reached point where it could prov idle a job for every man desiring to snend the winter here it would be a fine resort for shell-shocked nerves But with the hegira to the States our optimism declines, and until the first old timer walks down the gang-plank in the spring we get a mother-in-law's grouch. What Alaska needs most at the present time is a little sun with the moonshine.

mess in Alaska without the Territory receiving any other benefit than the license fees These companies, locat- ed outside of incorporated towns, pay no taxes on buildings boats, gear, stock and fixtures or any other prop erty. The case tax was assessed in order to give AlaskanS some meas ure of revenue from the natural re- sources of the country. There is no doubt but that law taxing the per sonal property of these institutions would be held constitutional by the supreme court, as we notice nearly all revenue producing laws have been so held Hundreds of thOSandS of dollars worth of personal property thus escape taxation, while residents of Alaskan towns pay a high tax There is no good reason why the eX- pense of Alaska should not be paid by its resources By raising the tax on Outsiders doing business, it may be lowered on resident cannerymen. II an inherent peddler can be taxed higher than the local dealed why can not the inherent packer?

But after his federal in- come tax had been paid on this $1O2,- 900 at the existing rate, he would have only $45,O00 left.
 Tax-exempt securities are the ref uge of the rich. They keep billions out of productive enterprise at time when the nation is rapidly expanding, and indirectly are responsible for higher taxes generally. Secretary Mellon has won his debate already in the opinion of the general public.
