SALTS IS FN FOR
I
Flush the Sidneys at once when Sack
harts or Bladder bothers Heat
forms uric acid.
man or woman who eata meat regu-
!y can make a. mistake by flushing
: kidneys occasionally, says a well
sowh authority. Meat forms urio acid
Aliich clogs the kidney pores so they
sluggishly filter or strain only part of
the waste and poisons from the blood,
then you get sick. Nearly all rheuma
tism, headaches, liver trouble, nervous
ness, constipation, dizziness, sleeplessness,
bladder disorders come from sluggish kid
neys. The moment you feel a dull ache in the
kidneys or your back hurts, or if the
urine "is cloudy, offensive, full of sedi
ment, irregular of passage or attended
by a sensation of scalding, get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any reliable
pharmacy and take a tablespoonful in
a glass of water before breakfast ior a
few days and your kidneys "will then act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia and has been used for
generations to flush clogged kidneys and
stimulate them to activity, also to neu
tralize the acids in urine so it no longer
muses irritation, thus ending bladder dis-
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
hot injure; makes a delightful effer
vescent lithia-water drink which all reg
ular meat eaters should take now and
then to keep the kidneys clean and the
blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kid
ney complications.

FORUM OF THE PEOPLE
Mr. Bartsch Explains.
GLADSTONE, Or., Dec. 11. (Edi
tor of the Enterprise.) To correct
the article which appeared in your
valuable paper December 3, would say
to the readers and C. F. Hagerman
that the trouble is of two years' stand
ing. I do not object to baby buggies
or bicycles on sidewalks, but do pos
itively object to the horrible racket
and noise caused by your boys from
early morning until late at night with
the four wheeled heavy boys' wagons
on the hollow wooden sidewalk. You
would also be driven to desperation to
get up in the morning to find the front
fence and gate on the sidewalk and
the mail box stuffed full with dirt
and many other mean tricks too num
erable to mention. All I ask of my
neghbors and ther well trained (?)
children is peace and freedom, on ac
count of my 68 years of age. I kind
ly ask my neighbors to be lenient.
My decling years and health compels
me to be in bed a great deal and this
terrible noise caused by these rapid
going wagons is not apt to better my
physicial distress.
If my wife or I have offended any of
our neighbors we humbly beg their
pardon and only ak in return to be
treated civilly.

Vindicates Woman's Good Name.
FIRWOOD, Or., Dec. 11 (Editor of
the Enterprise.) Mrs. Annie Fischer
of Sandy, left her husband, William
F. Fischer, and as the latter blames
me for his trouble and is circulating
scandalous stories, I will say in vin
dication of Mrs. Fischer's good name
and character, that I have seen the
lady only four or five times a year
ago; that Ihave not met her nor com
municated with her for qver a year,
and I hardly know the lady.
The facts of the case are that Mrs.
Fischer was virtually kept a prisoner
on their ranch; she was forbidden to
communicate with her lady friends or
even to answer the telephone. Mr.
Fischer hired a neighbor woman to
watch the telephone and report to
him any conversation.
Mrs. Fischer is only a frail woman
