MEAT CAUSE OF
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys if
Back hurts or Bladder
bothers.
: If you must have your meat everv
day, eat it, but flush your kidneys
with salts occasionally, says a noted
authority who tells us that meat
forms uric acid which almost para
lyzes the kidneys in their efforts to
expel it from the blood. They be
come sluggish and weaken, then you
suffer with a dull misery in the kid
ney region, sharp pains in the back
cr sick headache, dizziness, your
stomach sours, tongue is coated and
when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine gets
cloudy, full of sediment, the chan
nels often get sere and irritated, ob
liging you to seek relief two Or
three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating ac
ids, to cleanse the kidneys and flush
off the body's urinous waste get
four ounces of Jad Salts from any
pharmacy 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 andf
lemorr juice, combined with lithia.
and has been used for generations to
flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize the acids in urine,
so it no longer irritates, thus ending
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot
injure, and makes a delightful ef
fervescent lithia-water drink.
Court Declines
To Sanction Plan
For Sale of 'Yards
Swift and Armours Substitute
Proposal to Dispose of
Stockyards Given Blow
By Supreme Court.
Washington, March 2. The sub
stitute proposal of Swift & Co. and
Armour & Co. for the sale of their
stock yard interests was disapproved
today by Justice Stafford in the disi
trict supreme court.
The court allowed 30 days for the
taking of testimony as to the value
of the companies' holdings, after
which they would be given an oppor
tunity to offer their stock for sale at
the price then fixed, or the court will
appoint trustees to . take over the
stock as recommended by the De
partment of Justice.
The court held that the plans pro
posed by the two companies "seem
to make easy a long period of con
tinued ownership on the part of the
defendants and in the meantime pro
vide too feeble a control on the part
of the court." Justice Stafford said
the defendants were willing to sell
if they could get a fair price, but that
the question of a fair price should be
decided only after both ' sides are
heard.
