Wash Your Kidneys
By Drinking Water
IF Your Back Hurts or Bladder
Bothers, Also Take Some
Salts.

Flush your kidneys by drink
ing a quart of water each day,
also take salts occasionally, says
noted authority, who tells us
that too much rich food forms
acids which almost paralyZe the
kidneys in their efforts to eX-
pei it from the blood. They be-
come 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 stom-
ach SourS, tongue is coated, and
when the weather is bad you
have rheumatic tWingeS. The
urine gets cloudy, full of sedi-
ment. the channels often get
sore and irritated, obliging you
to seek relief two or three times
during the night.
To help neutralize these irri-
tating acids, to help cleanse the
kidneys 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 kid
neyS 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 re-
lieving bladder weakness.
/ Jadd Salts is inexpensive;
cannot injure and makes a de-
lightful effervescent lithia-

EVANSVILLE SPAN
MAY Be BUILT SOON
Contract to Be Let for Elm
ination of B. & O. Grade
Crossing.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

UPPER MARLBORO, Md, February
11.-Contract for the construction of
an overhead bridge across the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad tracks at Hyattsville
will in all probability be officially
awarded during the coming week. it
was learned at the Office of the State
Roads Commission here today.
A Washington contracting firm made
the lowest bid for the erection of the
bridge and is expected to get the con-
tract. The same firm was low in bid
ding for the extension of Rhode Island
avenue northeast, from the District
line to Hyattsville. while another Wash
ington contracting company made the
low bid for building the bridge which
is to go over the extended avenue.
There has been no indication, however,
that either of these contracts will be
awarded in the immediate future.
The expected awarding of the Hyatts-
vile bridge contract this week means
that work on that project will be begun
within the next two weeks, as the con-
tract requires operations to begin within
ten days after the award.
The structure will arch the tracks by
means of road to be built from
Marion street, short distance north of
the grade crossing, and will be recon-
nected to the Washington Baltimore
boulevard south of the tracks at Wells
avenue.
