IF KIDNEYS ACI BAD TAKE SALTS Says Backache Often Means You Have Not Been Drinking Enough Waler When you wake up with bachache and dull misery in tile kidney region it may mean you have been eating foods which create acids, says a wellknown authority. An excess of such acids overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed ana loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels, removing all the body’s urinary waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells: your stomach sours, ongite is coated, and when th e weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds, and you ar e obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. Either consult a good, reliable physician at once or get from youi pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys may then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for years to help clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also tu neutralize acids in the system, so they no longer irritate,’thus often relieving bladder weakness. Jad Salt is inexpensive, cannot injure and makes a delightful, effervescent lithia-water drink. Drink lots ot soft water. By all means have your physician examine your kidneys at least twice a year. o COCKLEBUR POISONOUS - f Plant Is Poisonous To Livestock In Early Stages of Its Growth. The cocklebur, variously thought to have been troublesome only as a weed and because of its stiffly armed burs, has been demonstrated definitely to be poisonous to livestock in the early stages of its growth, as was reported by other observers. The report On this demonstration is made by C. D. Marsh, G. C. Roe and A. B. Clawson, of the United States Department of Agriculture, and the results published in Department Circular 283, Livestock Poisoning by Cocklebur. Only the very young plants, before leaves have formed, produce poisoning, and the dose which produces sickness or death is about 1 1-2 pounds to a 100-pouhd animal. This means that young “pigs niVto 59

pounds in weight, which have been found the most susceptible, are poisi oned by 12 ounces or less of the small | cocklebur plants. Cattle or sheep i also may be poisoned if they eat enough of the plants in proportion to their weight, I Little can bo said so far about medical treatment for this kind of poisoning. Feeding of whole milk was found to prevent pigs feeding on the cocklebur plants from being poisoned. Salted bacon grease, lard, and raw ; linseed oil also gave good results. The best method, says the circular, is 1 to keep pigs off pastures infested with coi kleburs until the plants are large I enough to be harmless; or to kill out ■ the plants by mowing them before ■ they seed.
