Such a* efttrance standard would also a result ii the re-rating of the colleges fl of the state, placing them pn the par I with tke ether educational institu- \ tions of the country. The recommeni' > o'ation alse carries a clause suggesting the establishment of the higher entrance requirements by September, ? 1921. 3#aie objection to thus rais- K ing the standard was voiced by college m presideftts and high school men on V the ground that it would also tend to ? ...:j? .-l - i u W WiliCXl tnc uicdtii iiuvv ^ ?[v! tween the small rural school and the E colleges to such an extent that gradu- V ates of the schools could not enter W w the colleges under any circumstances being ur.ible to meet the minimum L . entrance requirements of 13 high v school units.

Keep your kidneys clean like you keep your bowels clean, by flushing them with a mild, harmless salts which removes t^ie body's urinous waste and stimulates them to their normal activity. The function of the kidneys is to filter the blood. In 24 hours they strain from it 500 grains of acid and waste, so we can readily understand the vital importance of keeping thfe kidneys active. Drink lots of water?you can't drink too much; also get from any pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast each morning for a few days and your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate clogged kidneys; also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer is a source 01 irritation, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot injure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which everyone should take now and then to keep their kidneys clean and active. Try this, also keep 'up the water drinking, and no doubt you will wonder what became of your kidney trouble and backache.
