KIDNEYS need LOTS
OF WATER AT TIMES
If Back Hurts or Bladder
Bothers, Also Take a
Little Salts.

Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels, sometimes get slug
gish and clogged and need a flush
ing occasionally, else we have back
ache and dull misery in the kidney
region, severe headaches, rheumatic
twinges, torpid liver, acid stomach,
SleeplessnesS and all sorts of bladder
disorders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean and the moment
you feel an ache or pain in the kid
ney region begin drinking lots of
water. Also get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good drug store
here, take tablespoonful in glass
of water before breakfast for few
days and your kidneys will then act
fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and is
intended TO flush clogged kidneys
and help stimulate them to activity.
1t also helps neutralize the acids in
the urine SO that they no longer ir-
ritate, thus helping to relieve blad-
der disorders
Jad Salts is inexpensive, makes
delightful effervescent lithia water
drink which everybody should take
now and then to help keep their
kidneys clean.
A we'll known local druggist says
he sells lots of Jad Salts to folks
who believe in trying to correct kid
ney trouble while it is only trouble.

The Inlet girls made the first basket after a scoreless interval and continued to set pace which the Seward aggregation could do nothing with Anchorage was in the lead at Ill stages of the game.
 Close guarding kept Seward from scoring; many short shots were at tempted but they fell by the way side On the other hand the Anchor age girls had the locals eating out of their hands with their array of acurate long shots as well as shorter ones.
 Helen Welsh, star forward for the Inlet team, was taken out upon her fourth personel foul. May Iceland re- placed her. However, the onslaught continued and when the smoke of battle cleared away, the score was seen to be II to z.
 Tonight the deciding and final game will be played off. Each team has won one. A battle royal is profi- ised.

NEW YORK, May -"I will make
IT," Mabel Boil declares.
The woman who has considerably
fewer diamonds than Peggy Joyce
and a dozen others, but who for some
reason is known as Queen of Dia-
monds," believes she can upset the
hoodoo that has prevented a woman
from crossing an ocean by air, and
she is going to try it. She is not
daunted by the fate Of Mildred Dor
an, Princess Lowenstein, Mrs. Fran
ces Grayson and Elsie Mackay, who
dared before her.

Fas Faith In Pilot
She has faith in her lifelong luck,
and in her pilot. He Is Wilmer
Stultz. who is living today because
he did not accompany another wom-
On on a mad hop into the unknown.
Mrs. Frances Grayson substituted an
other pilot for him just before she
mad her last mop.
She is known rs Miss Boil, but she
is the mother Of a grown son. She
is not a pilot, but she expects to
obtain a license before she attempts
the Atlantic hop.
She first got the idea OF making
an Atlantic hop at the time Cham
berlin and Levine were in Europe,
after their nonstop flight from New
York to Germany. She tried to in
duce Levine to take her as passen-
ger On a return trip. Later she
came to this country and began plans
for a hop in the other direction.
As preparation, she flew with Levine
and Stultz from New York TO Ha-
To Take Fokker Plane
Adventure and fame are what Miss
Boil expects to get out Of the flight.
Fame and sos 5000 are the attractive
inducements TO Stultz. This is his
fee as pilot. The plane will cost
Miss Boil another S5s,500. The one
upon which she has ar option Is a
standard, three-motored Fokker.
Most OF the transatlantic planes
have had single motors. The Fokker
could stay in the air If one or two
Of its motors failed.
Like H~aldeman. VINO piloted Ruth

man. II Mrs. Stultz has any misriv-
ings about his venture across the
Atlantic with another oma she

ability in retracing Lindbergh's and
Chamberlain's winged steps.

for an early hop in order TO ret
