SALTS FINE
We eat too much meat, which clogs
Kidneys, then Back hurts and
Bladder bothers you.
Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels, get sluggish and clogged
and need a flushing occasionally, else wo
have backache and dull misery in the
kidney region, severe headaches, rheu
matic twinges, torpid liver, acid stomach,
sleeplessness and all sorts of bladder dis
orders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
netive and clean, and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney
region, get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any good drug store here,
take a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
litliia, and is harmless to flush clogged
kidneys and stimulate them to normal
activity. It also neutralizes the acids
in the urine so it no longer irritates,
thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia
wator drink which everybody should take
now and then to keep their kidneys clean,
thus avoiding serious complications.
A well-known local druggist says he
sells lots of Jad Salts to folks who believe
in overcoming kidney trouble while it is
only trouble.

Paul Birdsong, who resides in Vil
lage township, was in Newport this
morning and called at the Independ
ent office, where he learned of the
death of his brother, Private Bird
song, who was killed in action in
France. A message from the war
department was sent to another
brotther, Tom, Newport yesterday,
but the message did not reach the
family before they read of their
brother’s death in the Independent, j
The message to the family stated i
Private Birdsong was killed July 23.
He was 22 years old, and left New
port some months ag;o with a con
tingent of Jackson county’s selected
men. The family are greatly grieved
over the death of this brave young
soldier, for wrhom all Jackson county
is mourning. Private Birdsong was a
splendid young man, a hard working
farmer, who was well liked by all
who knew him. A brother, Matt
Birdsong, is in the army, stationed
on the Mexican border.

ARE YOU INCLUDED HERE?
Many people in Newport are wear- <
ing old style and ill-fitting glasses,
which were fitted years ago.
Style in glasses change as in many
other things. What do you think of
a 1910 model automobile? A 1910
model pair of glasses are just as
much out of style. Keep your old
glasses for emergency and get fitted
up with a pair of late model glasses.
We can fit you correctly in the new
style Shell Rim Glasses. If you ap
preciate correctness in your glasses
keep me in mind.

An Extraordinary Sale
Of All Summer 5hoes
MENS WOMENS CHILDRENS
Our policy of quick stock renewals is, what makes a sale of this
kind necessary, every season—about this time every year we find the ne
cessity in a larger way. Fall shoes are coming in and we must make
room for them, and this means faster selling, and faster selling means
lowering of prices. That’s the course—and the only course we have ever
found open, and we’re not going to look for any other way now.
_Our Aim Is To Sell The Shoes
and the selling must be fast, and to make it so we are going to sacrifice
the “best sellers.” We have no slow sellers, but we are going to shove
forward the most desirable first—'and the wise buyer will come and come
early. utS ;£® SsMi I *£ 3 MiiJUI S
