IF BACK HURTS BEGIN ON SALTS Flush Your Kidneys Occasionally by Drinking Quarts of Good Water. No man or woman can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. Too much rich food creates acids which clog the kidney pores so that they sluggishly filter or strain only part of the waste and poisons from the blood. Then you get srck. Rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, constipation, dizziness, sleeplessness, bladder disorders often come from sluggish kidneys. The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts, begin to drink soft water in quantities; also get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any reliable pharmacy and 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 clogged kidneys and stimulate them to activity, also to help neutralize the acids in the system so they no longer cause irritation, thus often relieving bladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive and can not injure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink, which every one can take now and then to help keep the kidneys clean and the blood pure, thereby often preventing serious kidney complications.—Advertisement.

Bert Thurman, Watson’s manager, which rebuked Foellinger for turning against Watson’s presidential candidacy after Foellinger’s newspaper, the Ft. Wayne News-Sentinel, indorsed his candidacy for United States Senator two years ago. “The News-Sentinel, of Ft. Wayne, a paper of which I am publisher, supported Watson for the Senate in 1926,” Foellinger admitted. “But that was for the office of Senator,—not the presidency of the United States. “Not every Senator is qualified

for the presidency despite the fact that each may have presidntial aspirations. However, since my supporting of Watson for the Senate, considerable muddy water has gone over the Indiana political dam. The water has been sufficiently muddy to make any intelligent Hoosier change his mind about a lot of things. “Watso .’s organization has disgraced this State in the eyes of the entire world.
