If you must have your meat every ! day, "eat it, but flusn your kidneys • with salts occasionally, says a noted • authority who tells us that meat forms uric acid which almost paralyzes the iitoneys in their efforts to expel it; from the blood. They become slug- ; gisli and weaken, then you suffer with' a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the bSck or sick head- j ache, dizziness, your stomach sours, j tongue is coated and when the weath- j er is bad you have rheumatic twinges. I The urine gets cloudy, full of sedi ment, the channels often get sore! and ft-ritated, obliging you to seek re-i lief two or three times during the' night. To neutralize these irritating acids, to cleanse the kidneys and flush off the body's urinous waste get four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharm acy here; 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 j been used for generati<Wis to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine, so it no ! longer irritates, thus ending bladder i weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in- ; jure, and makes a delightful efferves cent lithia-water drink.

Fry, of tho Fry Coal Company stated this morning: that tho situation was largely due to tho fact that the operators cannot get tho labor to mine the coal, and also the shortage of cars to ship it. "Another reason is tliat the United States eminent has made a big demand ou the operators for anthracite coal, for use in tho navy. Bituminus coal was used to a great extent heretofore, but now both grades are being used. Tho large industrial plants in all sections of the country have also made heavy demands on the operators and I can not see any relief until after the war is over. There is a shortage of over lour millions o.l'tons above ground to day and local dealers are having de mands laid on them that have never been equalled since 1 have been in tho business and that is a great many years," he said.
