Arrest Negro Porter And Find
 S392 On His Person

 Henry Gillian, porter for the Messer- Johnson Real Estate company, police believe that the second robbery of last week has been cleared up.

f. KIDNEYS ACT
 BAD TAKE SALTS Says Backache Often Means You Have Not Been Drinking Enough
 : Water

When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region 1t may mean you have been eating foods which create acids, says a we'll known authority. An excess of such acids overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter 1t from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get slug gish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels, remov- ing 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 rheumatic 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 good, reliable physician at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts; take 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 oc grapes and lemon juice. combined with lithia, and has been used for years l. help clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the system, so they no longer irritate. :hri often re- lieving bladder weakness.
 lad Salts Is inex. ensive, cannot tn- jure and makes delightful, efferves- cent lithia-water drink. Drink lots of soft water. By I'll means have your physician examine your kidneys at least twice a year.-Adv.
