SALTS FINE FOR
ACHING KIDNEYS

Most folks forget that the kid
neys, like the bowels, sometimes
get sluggish and clogged and need
a flushing occasionally. else we
have backache and dull misery in
the kidney region, severe head
aches, rheumatic twinges, torpid
liver, acid stomach, sleeplessness
and all sorts of bladder disorders.
You simply must keep your kid
neys active and clean and the mo-
ment you feel an ache or pain in
the kidney region begin drinking
lots of water. Also get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any good
drug store here, take a tablespoon
full in a glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon juice, com.
bined with lithia, and is intended
to flush clogged kidneys and help
stimulate them to activity. 1t also
helps neutralize acids so they no
longer irritate, thus helping to re-
lieve bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive: makes
q delightful effervescent lithia
water drink which everybody should
take now and then to help keep
their kidneys clean.
A well-known local druggist says
he sells lots of Jad Salts to folks
who believe in trying to correct
kidney trouble while 1t is only
trouble.

PUPILS SIT QUIETLY
AS FIRE IS FOUGHT
0verheated Furnace Blamed
for Small Blaze in Lud-
low School.

While tiremcn fought a smoldering
blaze in the office of Miss Adelaide
Davis. administrative principal.
caused by an ovcrheated furnace, 800
pupils of the Ludlow School, Sixth
and G streets northeast. sat in their
claSSrooms this afternoon totally I'M
disturbed
The scent of smoke was discovered
by Miss Davis shortly after the lunch
con hour. She at once telephOned
for the fire engines and sounded the
gong for a fire drill.
The $50 children passed out of the
building utterly u~<W2re there really
was fire in the closed office, of their
principal. When. they got in the
school yard they were surprised to
see the engines draw up and run
hose into the school building.
After the tiremen had stopped the
spread OF the smoldering blaze they
advised Miss Davis to take the chill
dren back to their classrooms. In
the meanwhile, they closed the door
and continued their tire-fighting.
Asst. Supt. of Schools Robert l..
IIaycock and W. A. Story, in charge
of the District repair shop, hurried to
the blaze. Mr. HayCock explained that
the overheating of the furnace was
due to the fact that there was a sub
stitute janitor in the building. Mr..
Story Immediately began work to re-
pair the slight damage to Miss Davis
office.
