Most folks forget that the kidneys, like the bowels, get sluggish and clogged and need a flushing occasionally, else we have backache and dull misery in the kidney region, severe headaches, rheumatic twinges, torpid liver, acid stomach, sleeplessness and an sorts or oiaaaer disorders.

You simply must keep your kidneys active and clean, and the moment you feel an ache or pain in the kidney region, get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any good drug store here, take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your dikneys will then act fine. This fampus salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is harmless to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity. It also neutralizes the acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder disorders. Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive; makes a delightful effervescent lithla-water drink which everybody should take now and then to keep their kidneys clean, thus avoiding serious complications. A well-known local druggist says he sells lots of Jad Salts to folks who believe in overcoming kidney troubje while it is only trouble.

Comment today upon John Mc- 'raw denunciation of hn York Giants for their alleged Indifference yetserday, In the game which Brook, lyn won by 0 to 6, by so doing won pennant, was generally to the effect that It presaged a change management of tho Giants. Evon those fans who had not studied the facts or read the accounts of how the I'hlllles played even worse agalns the Boston Braves than the Giants did against the Brooklyn Superbas. which poor work by the I'hlllles put them definitely out of the race, agreed that McOraw had acted childishly and had made an Irreparable blunder. For the last two months there have been rumors that McGraw was through as mutineer of the Giants be cause of the miserable work of his f.utune In buying such players as Herzog. Zimmerman and Sail.

and mauo me trade ot reii Aicrkle to Brooklyn for Lew McCarty. In his signed newspaper articles McGraw persisted that ho had tho best team in tho league before he acquired those stars late to the campaign, but ho was backcapped by the fact that his much United talent was not only not winning, but was In great danger of finishing the campaign far down In the second division. His broad charge of Intentional quitting to the Superbas was so serious that It Is not believed McGraw could continue to manage a team which ho has practically accused of crooked work. Tho situation seems to bo that he will have to go, or that New York will have to provide McGraw with another team. It Is known that Fred Mitchell, who recently signed new contract with the Boston Braves for three years as for the players, was recommended to the New York Club as a successor to McGraw, and there is another rumor that McGraw may go to the Chicago Americans as manager and part owner.

If he had the idea of leaving the National League In a blaze of wrath, he committed the fatal mistake of giving the whole sport of professional baseball a black eye, which was not warranted by the facts.

The Superbas have a team batting average of .261, and tbey hit well last year and the year before They are not spring phenoms, but are mostly men who have been hitting high for several years against all sorts of pitching, and they should hold their own in a series with the American Leaguo champions "The principal advantage the Red 8ox will have will lie In the experience in other Worlds Series, but the Philadelphia Athletics were stronger favorites in 1904 than the Red Sox are now, and had more World Series ex ence under their hats.
