EXAMINED BY

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 dull
misery in the kidney region. sharp
pains in the back or sick headache,
dizziness, your stomach sours,
tongue is coated. aid when the
weather is bad you have rheumatic
twinges.
TO help neutralize irritating acids,
to help cleanse the kidneys and
flush off the body's waste get :Our
ounces OF Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here; take tablespoonful in
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 trritate. thus often relieving
bladder weakness.

TAKEN BY FIRE
Blaze Spreads Fast and
Damages Four Homes.

Famed by strong wind, fire
which started in the home of
George Terrence, 1913 Minocqua
street, Sunday spread rapidly to
four houses, doing dameage esti-
mated at more than $4,000.
The alarm was delayed, as the
man who discovered the blaze
drove. to the engine house at 1876
Prospect street, instead of tele-
phoning. When firemen arrived,
the flames had spread to the four
homes. Forced to run a water line
more than 400 yards, the fire fight
ers were further handicapped.
The Terrence home was damaged
$4,000. The other homes damaged
we're those of Calvin Mcpherson,
1917 Minocqua street, $500; M.
Sprader, 1921, about $4,000, and a
vacant two-story frame house at
1921 Minocqua street, which was
destroyed.
