If Kidneys Act Bad Take Salts Says Backache Often Means You , Have Not Been Drinking Enough Water When you wake tip with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it may mean you have been eating foods which create acids, says a well-known author ity. An excess • meh acids overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kid neys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels, removing all the body's urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. Either consult a good, reliable physi cian at once or get from vour pharma cist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablcspoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidney, may then act line. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for years to help clean and stimulate sluggish kid neys, also to neutralize acids in the system, so they no longer irritate, thus often relieving bladder weakness. Jad Salt:, is inexpensive, can not in jure and makes a delightful, efferves cent lithia-water drink. Drink lots of soft water. By al! means have vour phy-ician examine your kidneys at least twice a year. | ENGAGED TO MARKY SARAZEN | s L.. <* e- W '■ L Z ' ’C.' ' ■ ©A../'-' . i ,1 ■» < ■■■■ 1 Jr St I ... © rs A" f - ?

WIBLE MARSHALL, Eminent Commander THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER and growing girl and those entering upon motherhood. “These exercises if carried into effect 15 minutes each day for a year, will bring un- 1 told advantage to the muscles of the ’ chest, the lungs and the abdominal organs, those important functioning organs which a girl needs in the es tate of motherhood, ’ Dr. Barker de-1 dared. Launching into his admonitions to' young girls of the age, he told them' that upon them rests the entire fab-- ric of the nation’s welfare, not only j in this age but in year to come, ! that they must now realize their I duty to generations yet unborn and | go to that duty with a physical per fection that will keep for Ameri-1 ca that kingly heritage it brought 1 over in the Mayflower from the An-1 glo-Saxon mother country. Dr. Barker besought the young 1 high school girls to keep inviolate’ their God-given heritage of purity ini thought, in action and in wo>d. | ‘You young girls who go out alone in automobiles at night, or even in the day, on lonely roads and byways are sacrificing that most precious possession, a good name,’’ he said. 1 "If you girls don’t .believe me when | I tell you that the young woman who! permits undue familiarity from' young men loses much of his admit--1 ation and respect, why did the boys I clap me this morning in the high I school auditorium when I made the ( ! statement that the boy who is per mitted those privileges does not have: the beautiful worship for the girl 'who permits this as for the one who 'holds him away? (You girls know ■ that this true,, just as truly as' ; the boys know it be -so, and 1 ask ; you, in the name of your sacred girl ! hood, and for your future safety' land welfare, to hold yourself aloof | from vulgar familiarity of young 1 I boys.” Like bullets from a machine gun came the attack from Dr. Barker on | the mothers who permit their young daughters to go out unchaperoned with young men of whom little is I known. "Why you women trust your daughters blindly to boys whom you yourself scarcely know when you meet them face to face on the street, and permit her to stay in his company hour after hour and day after day without restraint. This is not only a serious injustice to the girl but a menace to her as well. Go with your daughters, know where they are every minute of their time and make them know that you can and will respect their confidences, and they will naturally turn to you with their little secrets about life problem?.” Dr. Barker asserted that much of the present day immorality is due to the sex pictures permitted by the mothers of this generation. “You , say the managers bring them on,” • declared Dr. Barker ‘They do no such things," he shouted “Y’ou mothers go to see,, such pictures and then sit there, giving it your silent Dudley’s Qpera Mouse maos®!

He made a special appeal to the high school girls to refrain from this type of dancing, telling them that dancing fundamentally is good exercise, but not the vulgar sex dancing perpe trated in the ballrooms of the pres ent day. He urged the mothers to their responsibility of telling their young (laughter the story of life as it be gan in the garden of Eden centuries' (ago with our first parents, and to withhold nothing from them that .would make those girls turn on them I [ later in life, when ruin and disgrace I faced them, and lay the fault at th :! |door of their own ignorance. In delicate language. Beautiful alike to young and old, Dr. Barker| unfolded to the mothers, step by' step, the manner in which the story ) |of life can be told to children even | six years of age, and tears stood in .the eyes of the older women as they I listened to the beauty of the telling j of a story that heretofore had ap peared to them as crude. I Dr. Barker was heard with hush ed attention throughout his long lec ; ture, and was applauded as he thrust home truths to mothers and daughters, to younger and older wo . men, their duty, to themselves, their i country and their born and unborn | children.
