KiDHEY TROUBLE Take a glass of Salts to flush Kid neys if your back is aching. Noted authority says Uric Acid from meat irritates the Bladder.

The urine is cloudy, full of sediment' the channels often get Irritated, obliging you to get up two or three times during the night. To neutralize these irritating acids and flush off the body's urinous waste get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take a table spoonful In a glass of water before Vreakfast. for a few days and your kid revs will then act fine and bladder dis orders disappear.

Before an Insurance Company will take a risk on your life the examining physician will test the urine and report whether you are a good risk. When ! your kidneys get sluggish and clog, you Buffer from backache, sick-head ache, dizzy spells, or the twinges and pains of lumbago, rheumatism and I gout. The urine is often cloudy, full of sediment; channels often get sore 'and sleep is disturbed two or three times a night. This is the time you should consult some physician of wide 1 experience—such as Dr. Pierce of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, I Buffalo, N. Y. Send him 10 cents for j sample package of his' new discovery, "Anuric." Write him your symptoms and send a sample of "urine"for test. Experience has taught Dr. Pierce that ■"Anuric" is the most, powerful agent j in dissolving uric acid, as hot water melts sugar; besides being absolutely ; harmless it is endowed with other properties, for it preserves the kidneyß in a healthy condition by thoroughly cleansing them. Being so many times more active than litliia, it clears the heart valves of any sandy substances i which may clog them and checks the .degeneration of the blood-vessels, as , j well as regulating blood pressure. ,| "Anuric" is a regular insurance and i | life-saver for all big meat eaters and those j who deposit lime-salts in their joints. Ask the druggist for "Anuric" put up ; by Dr. Pierce, in 50-cent packages. STRENGTH AND BEAUTY Come with Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical ! Discovery. This is a blood cleanser and alterative that starts tlio liver and stotn , neh into vigorous action. It, thus assists j the body to manufacture rich red blood I which feeds the heart nerves, brain and I | organs of the body. The organs work smoothly like machinery running In oil. ; You feel clean, strong and strenuou3 in- I stead of tired, weak and faii>' NEWS OF S LEAGUE ENDORSES COMMISSION PLAN Will Ask Council to Create Body of Five to Handle Playgrounds Recommendation that a park and playgounds commission of Ave rep resentative citizens be created to su pervise the establishment of a play grounds system, handle the executive details and direct the park work will be made to Steelton's borough council at its next meeting by the Municipal League.
