No man or woman who eats meat regu­

rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble
nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache in the
kidneys or your back hurts or if the
urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sedi­

a sensation of scalding, .top eating meat

Halts from any pharmacy -, take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water befor i
breakfast and in a few days your kidneys
will art fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush and stimulate
the kidneys, also to neutralize the acids
in urine so it no longer causes irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness.

Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot

which
everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications.

There Is a great deal that the king

20 palaces, a "Diamond City,” a herd
of white elephants, nearly two million

the bestowal of somelhlng valued In
dollars and era's, the trnueference of
something from your band to anoth­

That Is s purely uieebsnlcsl
process, which may or msy not cre­

to give, the desire to bo the cause of
another's happiness.
To wish d> help others Is the oldest
passion tn the world—even a little
older than the Impulse to overcome
others. And It la the deathless pas­
sion as well. It needs no Christmas
day to keep It alight, but as long as
Christmas contliiuea to providv fuel to
make the flume of good fellowship
bum brighter, that day will continue
to be the richest 24 hours In all the
year.
