DRINK WATER FREELY .
IF KIDNEYS BOTHER
Also Take Salts if Back Hurts
or Bladder Troubles
You

Flush your kidneys by drinking
a quart of water each day, also take
salts occasionally, says a noted
authority, who tells us that too
much rich 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
headache, dizziness, your stomach
sours, tongue is coated, and when
the weather is bad you have rheu-
matte twinges. The urine gets
cloudy, full of sediment. the chan
nels often get sore and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or
three times during the night.
To help neutralize these irritat-
ing acids: to help cleanse the kid
neys and flush off the body's
urinous waste, get four ounces of
Jad Salts from any pharmacy here.
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 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 reliev-
ing bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; can not
injure and makes a delightful eff

BASKET BALL WINS
| WOMEN OF FRANCE
Game Captures Feminine
Sex in Paris and Other
Chief CenterS.
BY the Associated Press.

-
PARIS, April 11.-Basket ball is
making great strides toward popular
fly with the women of France.
Until recently Frenchwomen knew
nothing about the game. Now there
are 200 fairly expert woman players
in Paris alone and other teams in the
big industrial centers of Lyon and
Clermont-Ferrand. Last season six
women's teams were entered in each
Of six series for the Paris champion
ship.
The best friend and coach Of the
game in Paris is a Connecticut Yankee,
Castor Francois, director Of the Meth
odist Memorial Gymnasium in Paris
and coach Of the Racing Club of
France He coached the mems basket
ball team Of the Racing Club, which
won the Paris championship last year.
Girls Learn Quickly.
The French girls, he says, are quick
on their feet and learn fast but they
find the game pretty rough. The same
is true Of French man players, ne
thinks.
american teams in Paris are always
glad to get to England TO play British
fyes." he said. because they get some
real rough-and-tumble play there. The
French player is apt to yell for the
referee when he is hurt. Even II he
is standing with the bah in his hands
in front of the goal he won't shoot If
he's been hit"
Francois an American.
CASTOR Francois, despite his name,
Is not French. He was born at Merl-
den. Conn, Of French ancestry. He
saw service with the Foyer du Soldat
the French Army's Y. NJ. c. A. during
the war. The Methodist gymnasium,
which ne has run since 1919 is one
of the two in France with regulation
size indoor basket ball courts. The
other, at Lyon, IS also under Metho-
dist auspices.
Basket ban is played indoors for
the most part in France. The French
Army rates it high as recreation be-
cause of its potentialities for all
around development of the player.

The Fat Man

If the fat man were not baited
by well meaning, thoughtful folk, he
would always be elated, life would
seem a genial joke. He is feeling fine
and dandy as he waddles slowly by,
stopping at each lunchroom handy
for hot dog or pie. Oh, his appe-
tites unshackled, it was never known
to droop, every kind of grub he's
tackled clear from tripe to birds nest
soup. Fat and kindness go together,
and the fat man everywhere smiles
through every kind of weather,
through all sorts of grief and care.
He is ever optimistic with his tongue
and with his pen, and we find him
eulogistic Of his toiling fellow men.
We should boost him and admire him
as a man beyond all price, but we
follow him and tire him with a lot of
good advice. Its a shame to bear
such tallow," we remind him every
day; "diet till you're thin and sallow,
walk that surplus grease away" All
the public prints assure him that his
fatness is a crime; If gymnastics do
not cure him he will die before his
time. All the women look sardonic
when they view his ample waist, and
their laughter, philharmonic, fills him
with dark green taste. So he sets
himself to eating things that will re-
duce his weight, and in due time he is
meeting with success that's truly
great. We behold him trim and
slender, mold of fashion and of style
but alas, where is the splendor of
his old time CHEEKY smile He's an
optimist no longer, he is weary, he
is blue, and no pessimist Is stronger
in denouncing all in view. As the
paunchy man grows thinner all his
joyous traits decline, and he rises
from his dinner with melancholy
whine. WALT MASON.
