"MEAT CAUSE Of
r KIDNEY TROUBLE
i
Taka a glaaa of Salts if your Back
hurts or Bladder bothers—Meat
forms uric acid.
If you must have your meat every day,
eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts
occasionally, says a noted authority who
tells us that meat forms uric acid which
almost paralyzes the kidneys in their ef
forts to expel it from the blood. They
become sluggish and weaken, then you
suffer with a dull misery in the kidney
region, sharp pains in the bock or sick
headache, dizziness, your stomach sours,
tongue is coated and when the weather
is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or three
time during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids, to
cleanse the kidneys and flush off the
body’s urinous waste get four ounces ol
Jad Salts from any pharmacy hero;
take a tables’ nful in a glass oi
water before b kfas' for a few days
and your kidn i,! t fine. This
famous sails iath he acid ol
grapes ami lei a ju ibined with
lithia, and has been i generations
to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys
also to neutralize the acids in urine
, bo it no longer irritates, thus ending
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cunnot in
jure, end makes a delightful effervesced
lithia-vvater driuk.

in all other work, are having to take
up the positions formerly occupied
by men. She has assumed the ad
vertising part of the circus, and so
far as her work in Newport is con
cerned, she is on to the “job.”
IN HOSPITAL IN FRANCE.
The following letter from one of
the Jackson county boys to his
friend, James Wyatt, living near
Newport, will be read with interest
by his neighbors. The letter shows
him to be a plucky soldier, although
wounded he is anxious to get back in
to the big game.
Somewhere in France,
Dear Old Pal:
Will write you a line as I have been
knocked out for a time, but not long
I hope. To my bad luck I was
wounded on the 25th of July. I had
been on the front for 62 days when I
got bumped and—well, kid, a Hun
put one in the hospital. But I have
them bested, for I put several where
they will never need a hospital, and
believe me, it was a great pleasure
to slay those Germans and walk over
their dead bodies. You can also be
lieve that we are doing that very
thing. Well, tell Mr. Wyatt not to
worry about his part of them for I
tried to do just as he said, for I got
his for him.
It’s about time for my nurse to
bring my dinner and I am ready for
it. I will close.
Yours very truly,
