BEGIN ON SALTS
L AT FIRST SI6N
OF KIDNEY PAIN
We eat too much meat, which
clogs Kidneys, then the
back hurts.
* '
I Says glass of Salts flushes Kid
neys and ends Bladder
irritation.
Uric acid in meat excites the kid
* neys, they become overworked: get
! sluggish, ache, and feel like lumps
; of lead. The urine becomes cloudy:
, the bladder Is.irritated, and you may
. be obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night. When the
I kidneys elog you must help them
flush off the body's urinous waste or
, you'll be a real sick person shortly.
At first you feel a dull misery in the
kidney region, you suffer from back
ache. sick headache, dizziness, stom
' ach gets sour, tongue coated and
, you feel rheumatic twinges when the
' weather Is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots of water:
' also get from any pharmacist four
' ounces of Jad Salts; take a table
! spoonful In a glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This fa
t mous salts is made from the acid
1 of grapes and lemon Juice, combined
> with lithia. and has been used for
. generations to clean clogged kidneys
, and stimulate them to normal ac
! tivity. also to neutralize the acids in
urine, so It no longer is a source of
I irritation, thus ending bladder weak
' ness.
' Jad Salts Is inexpensive, cannot
' Injure: makes a delightful effer
: vescent Uthia-water drink which ev
-1 eryone should take now and then to
" keep the kidneys clean and active.
1 Druggists here say they sell lots of
s Jad Salts to folks who believe In
f overcoming kidney trouble while It Is
only trouble.
FARMERS FEAR
EFFECT OF STORM
ON EARLY CROPS
Warmer Weather Tomorrow
to Follow Ice, Snow
and Bain
Farmers and planters are much
concerned over the snow and rain j
storm which has hovered over this
section for four days, bringing with
it a temperature below the freezing
point. The damage to fruit and early
crops may be greater than was at
first feared, it was reported this
morning. A precipitation of nearly
two inches, in the form of rain,
snow and sleet, has fallen during the
storm now enveloping the city. The
weather bureau office instrument re
ports a precipitation of 1.90 inches.
A half inch of snow, which fell dur
ing the night, remained on the
ground this morning, making walk
ing conditions as bad as yesterday.
Tho lowest temperature last night
was 31 degrees. The highest tem
perature yesterday was 38 degrees,
but this quickly sank to below the
freezing point. At it oVlock this
morning the temperature remained
at 31 degrees.
Fear For Early Crop
The storm of rain and snow has
been continuous since Monday
morning at 2.30, with a slight inter
mission between 8 and 10.30 Mon
day. The storm has lasted more than
SO hours. Weathe* forcasters prom
ised clearing weather to-day, and
while the barometer at the local
weather bureau office showed a
slight rise, conditions do not point
to immediate clearing, Weather
Forecaster Dematn said this morn
ing.
Tho fear increases that early crops
have been damaged by the storm.
The increased snowfall last night,
the cold rain and temperature, and
the sleet of the night before with its
attendant coating of ice, may be
more than the early crops of oats,
potatoes, wheat and rye can survive
without material injury. A fear that
the storm will cause these crops to
rot in the ground was voiced by
Farm Agent Niesley. ,
Early fruits, including apricots,
plums and earl> r cherries are also
likely to feel the effects of the storm
materially.
No rise in temperature before to
morrow is predicted. The wind con
tinues from the northeast.

beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by
all means get rid of dandruff, for
it will starve your hair and ruin
it if you don't.

to dissolve it, then you destroy it
entirely. To do this get abouc four
ouncti- of ordinary liquid arvoti;
apply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and
rub it in gently with the linger
tips.
By morning, most if not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely de
suoy every single sign aid trace
or it.
