SALTS fine FOR
ACHING KIDNEYS
When Back Hurts Flush
Your Kidneys by Drink
ing Lots of Water.

Most folks forget that the kid
neys, like the bowels, sometimes
get sluggish and clogged and need a
flushing occasionally, else We have
packache 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 kid
i1eys 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 tablespoon
full in a glass of water before break
fast for few days and your kid
neys will then act fine. This fa-
nous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with hthia, and is intended to flush
clogged kidneys, and help stimulate
them to activity. It also helps neu-
tralize the acids in the urine so
they no longer irritate, thus help
ing to relieve bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; makes a
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 it is only
trouble.-AdvertiSement.

Aim ofAH,
DesbiteSex,
Is WedIOCk
BY MARTHA LEE.

Every woman, even though she
has mapped out her career and a
manless existence, deep down in her
heart, wants husband, home, and
family.
1t is the natural order of things.
Since the days of the Neanderthal
man, the male has sought out his
mate, and she has made a home
tor him and borne his children.
Different manners of courtship
have evolved from the cave-man
style, although that will always be
a Tsyorite method of approach. The
shrewd female, too, can lure her
prey and, by her wiles, make him
captive. Feminine cunning can ar
range circumstances SO that by
strategy the man can win over
seemingly unwilling maiden.
Instinct Is Primal
Men and women we're made so
that the recognition of sex is a
primal instinct, and an instinct that
will not be denied, Civilization has
repressed this instinct to the ex-
tent that it has made it conform
to definite rules and standards of
conduct. but the instinct, conscious
~ or unconSciously is present, and
makes itself known in countless
daily acts that have become
habitual.
1t is the desire to please the
opposite sex that brings about revo-
lutionary changes in fashions; that
encourages the manufacture and
sale of millions Of dollars worth of
cosmetics and beauty aids" a year;
that adds impetus to enormous ex-
penditures for flowers, candy and
theaterS, to say nothing of night
clubs.
The aim Of it all, OF course, IS
marriage. Women can not be
blamed for desiring the haven of
an institution that, so obviously,
is protection. They exercise charms
that the man they desire might
find them fitting companion with
which to settle down and make a
home, and follow the course planned
for them by nature from the be-
ginning.
Dear Martha Lee-Three years ago I
started going with a gentleman whom I
have known since I attended my first
party. when 7 was l6.
We went steady for about a year He
told me that he loved me. and I that I
loved him, for he is the only man I ever
have loved.
One evening. telling me he had some
thing important to say. he told me he
never intended to marry. but that he
always would think highly of me: so
We parted. have never gotten over it.
Since then I have been told that he has
told the same things to other girls. in
word. he loves them and leaves them.
broken-hearted.
He told a mutual friend that he intend
ed coming over to see me again Would
YOU accept any invitations from him.
or do you think he -wouhd do the same
thing again?
He is not young man. Miss Lee. He
is 80 years old, and am S5.
PEGGY BLUE.
It Is said that a man has no
right to monopolize a girls time,
particularly that of girl no longer
young. if he has no intention of
marriage. 1t seems a shame that
you have learned to care for this
man who dabbles at love as a broker
dabbleS in stocks. A man of the
type you describe certainly is not
admirable.
Then, it would do no harm to see
this man occasionally. if you do
not give him all of your attention.
1t may be that he likes you, adj
mires you, enjoys your company,
and a friendship of that sort with
companionable man often is very
precious.
