DRUGS EXCITE THE KIDNEYS, DRINK WATER Take Salts at First Sign of Bladder Irritation or Backache. The American men and women must guard constantly against kidney trouble because we often eat too much rich food. Our blood is filled with acids which the kidneys strive to filter out; they weaken from overwork, become sluggish, the eliminative tissues clog and the result is kidney trouble, bladder weakness and a general decline in health. When your kidneys feel like lumps of lead; your back hurts; if you suffer with sick headache, or dizzy, nervous spells, acid stomach, or if you have rhev uatism when the weather is bad, begin drinking lots of good soft water and get from your 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 flush and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neutralize the acids in the system so they no longer are a source of irritation, thus often relieving bladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot injure, makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink and belongs in every home, because nobody can make a mistake by having a good kidney flushing any time.—Advertisement.

PARTY PARLEYS i WILL BE DRY, LOWMAN EDICT Prohibition Unit to Center Its Efforts on Houston and Kansas City. BY JOSEPH S. WASNEY, United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.—Prohibition headquarters let it be known today that everything possible will be done to keep Kansas City and Houston—party convention cities—dry next June. Assistant Secretary of Treasury Lowman said the dry laws will be strictly enforced in the two cities chosen for the Republican and Democratic national conventions. “Keeping liquor out of the convention cities will be the responsibility of administrators in Texas and Missouri,” Lowman said. “We will give them any additional help they need, however.” Loman said Assistant Prohibition Commissioner Alf Oftedal, in charge of investigations, planned to send special under-cover officers into the convention district this spring to “stop the flow of liquor before it starts.” Bootleggers already have been lining up their forces so thirsty delegates might be supplied, according to reports reaching prohibition headquarters. Officials said, however, there would be no search of hotel rooms of guests and delegates to the conventions. The Government’s objective will be to cut off bootleggers’ supplies. Baggage of delegates also will be on the "courtesy list,” for authorities feel it would be too great an under raking to search all convention visitors for liquor. Prepare for Convention ISy United Bress KANSAS CITY. Mo„ Feb. 7.

Ketner, housing chairman, said “all talk of taking the convention from Kansas City will be silenced.” “The convention will begin June 12.” he said, “we have 5.600 rooms within a short radius of the hall.”
