FAT LESS AND TAKE SALTS FOR KIDNEYS Take a Glass of Salts If Your Back Hurts or Bladder Bothers. The American men and women must guard constantly against Kid- ney trouble, because we eat too much and all our food is rich. Our blood is filled with uric acid which the kidneys strive to fliter out, they weaken from overwork, become slug- gish; the eliminative tissues clog and the result is kidney trouble, blad- der weakness and a general decline in health, When your kidneys feel like lumps of lead; your back hurts or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment or you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during tive night; if you suffer with sick headache or dizzy, ndrvous spells, acid stomach, or you have rheumatism when the weather is bad, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a table- spoonful in a glass of water before breakiast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This fam- ous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, - combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys; to neutralize the acids fn the urine so it no longer is a source of Irritation, thussefiding bladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in- jure, makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water beverage, and belongs in every home, because nobody can make a mistake by having a good kidney flushing at any time, 'McNamee's Patent .

He was no social shirker, warming himself by fires of other men's build- ing. Any one so minded, can find material for full discussion in this incidental glimpse of our hero when shipwrecked on Malta. This man had that he did not need to think about it. I heard General Charles G. Dawes once say, "There is nothing 80 really dignified and great as sim- ple naturalness." Xs we see all sorts of pershons, from diplomats at the Washington conference to actresses in the meanest road company, jeal- ously watching out for their own place of precedence and their own "honor" we may recall the greatest human being since Jesus Christ, moving actively about, despite his age and broken health, gathering firewood for a crowd, many of whom were cowardly ingrates, like the sail- ors who had tried to desert the ship in its hour of greatest danger. Service ls the great panacea for trouble. When hard times of any sort overtake us, as the shipwreck overtook Paul and his company, then is the hour to get busy at deeds of helpfulness.
