acids overworks the kidneys in their

Either consult a good, reliable
physician at once or get from your

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,

LETTER TAKES NAP
AS SUIT ADVANCES
Countess Listens to Her Wit
ness Tell of Alleged Waste
on Wyoming Ranch.
By the Associated Press.


CHICAGO. January S.--The Count.
ess Of Suffolk and Berks, nee Daisy
Letter, listened with apparent interest
yesterday to the cross examination of
one Of her witnesses. n. V. Kurtz,
Wyoming reclamation engineer. But
the session proved so listless to her
brother, Joseph Letter, whom she
seeks to GUST as a co-trustee Of their
fathers estate, that he dozed and for
a time fell asleep.
Kurtz several weeks ago testified
in support of one Of Lady Suffolk's
allegations that Letter wasted hun
dreds Of thousands of dollars in devel-
oping the Wyoming ranch properties.
Much of yesterday, under questioning
by Letters counsel, Kurtz was point
ing out various distances upon g. map
of the region surrounding the Letter
ranch.
1t was estimated by attorneys that
the protracted suit would require an
additional five weeks, one week for
testimony and four weeks for argu-
ments.
A new suit for $4,000 was filed
yesterday against Letter.
Attorneys filing the suit said the
$4,000 represented the unpaid bal
ance on a $30.916 judgment won
against Letter in New York for
attorneys fees.
The bill of the suit AYERS that the
judgment was secured December 81,
1925, and that Letter has refused to
complete his payments. The services
rendered Letter were not in connec-
ton with the estate controversy.
