When the : kidneys clog you must help them' flush oft the body’s urinous waste or, you’ll be a real sick person shortly. | At first you feel a dull misery in the Sidney region, you suffer from backache. sick headache, dizziness, stem ach gets sour, tongue coated and you : feel rheumatic twinges when the. weather is bad. Eat less meat, drink lots of water; also get from any pharmacist four I ounces of Jad Salts; 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 lithia, and has been used for I generations to clean clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activ- j ity, also to neutralize the acids in urine, so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder weak ness. Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot injure; makes a delightful effervescent ; lithia-water drink which everyone should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active. Druggists here say they sell lots of Jad Salts to folks who believe in overcoming kidney trouble while it is only trouble. LAFAYETTE GIRL SUICIDES (United Press Service).

One Born Every Fourth Minute A lady who had a family of three children didn’t want any more because she had heard that every fourth child born in the world was a Chinaman. As ludicrous, perhaps, as an old misconception some skeptical folks used to have about advertising. There was a time, when some advertisements had to be taken with a grain of salt. A few misguided advertisers thought they could sell their goods better by misrepresenting them. Those advertisers have long since gone out of business or mended their ways. Hard experience taught that untruthful advertising didn’t pay. Other advertisers proved that the only way to advertise successfully, make regular customers, and build up good will was to tell the absolute truth about their goods in their advertisements. i on merchant or manufacturer who advertises. The concern that tells you frankly what it is doing is a good concern with which to do business. The store that advertises is a progressive store that has something really worth while to say to you. And companies that advertise their products or their service have confidence in them. You can safely share then* confidence. Inferior merchandise cannot masquerade in the quality clothes of advertising. Read the advertisements
