Eat elss meat and take a glass Of
Salts to flush out kidenys
Drink plenty water

Rric acid in meat excites the kid
neys, they become, overworked; get
sluggish, ache, and feel like Jumps Of
lead. The urine becomes cloudy; the
bladder is irritated, and you may be
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night. When the
kidneys clog you must help them
flush off the body's urinous waste
or you'll be real sick person in
the kidney region, you suffer from
backache, sick headache, dizziness,
stomacha gets sour, tongue coated
and you feel rheu matte twinges
when the weather is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots of wa
ter; also get from any pharmacist
four ounces of Jad Salts; take ia
blespoonfull in a glass of water be-
fore breakfast for a few days and
your kidn1ys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made fro the acid
of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with Hthia, and has been used
for generations to clean clogged kid
neys and stimulate them to normal
activity, also to neutralizs the acids
in urine, so it no longer is source
of irritation, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is expensive, cannot in
jure; make delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which every
one should take. now and then to
keep the kidneys clean and active.
Druggists here say they sell lots of
Jad Salts to floks who believe In
overcoming kidney trouble while it
is only trouble. %

GOVERNMENT SERVANT OF Tnt PEOPLE

It is simply wonderful how the character of our national govern ment is being so rapidly trans formed in the interest of the peo- pie since Woodrow Wilson became President of the United States last March. The currency bill, which will be the greatest act that has passed Congress in the last so years for emancipating and un- throttling business, will be passed and become law most likely be- fore Christmas. The scope of the parcel post service has been great ly enlarged so that on January lst. 1914, the Post Office Department will carry packages weighing up to 50 pounds within 800 miles of the point of shipment. Furthermore, it is well known that President Wilson and the Postmaster -Gener- al are now seriously thinking of recommending to Congress that the telegraph and telephones be taken over by the government, as they have been in England, France and Germany, and run in the in- terest of the people instead of in the interest of the stockholders.

would like to have an office, but according to the twoterm system 1t would +ake forty years to give It to ten of these 3.2OO voters, sixty years to pass it to fifteen, eighty years to give it to twenty and one hundred years to give the office to twenty-five men. Then the bal ance of the 3,2OO voters might just as well be wiped off the politi- 1al map, as far as their holding of ice is concerned, for they would all be dead and gone long hefore the twenty five men would have served out their terms. and in fact part of the twenty five men would be dead before their time come around. So can't you see how im- practicable the proposition and how impossible it is to pass the office around? Now then if it is impos- sible to pass the office around ard less than twenty-five men could possibly expect to hold the office in one generation, would t not be good and practical idea, if you have a man in office that has given satisfaction, to keep him there for at least six years?
 Now, fellow citizens, am asking your endorsement for only one more term, and, in asking your en- dorsement for the next two years, I fully realize that the office is yours ard you have right to ex- ercise your own judgement, and will, as to whom you will select to fill that office. and when you have expressed that will at the polls next March, then your choice will be my choice.
 1 have tried faithfully to make you a good officer; have answered every call to duty as best l could; 1 have not manifested a spirit of selhshness in the financial affairs of the office and tried to accumu- late money; have been the poor mans friend and never refused to do his work because he didn't have the money to pay for it; have subscribed literally to every en- terprse that looked to the better ment and welfare of tho people: I have tried to treat my fellow man the same as l would have him treat me.
 And now in conclusion wish to say that no man in Union county will appreciate your support more than l. and no man can or will be more loyal to the people than 1 have been. and, if you should favor me with one more term. 1 will ap- preciate it more than can express and in return make you a better public servant for the next two years than l have in the past. And when 1 shall have served you for the next two years l will step down , and out and turn the office back to the people free from the stain of inefficient service and go forth with unmistakable evidence of a duty conscientiously and faithfully performed.
 Your humble servant, (Adv.) B. F. MILES.

A CARD TO THE VOTERS.
Circuit and ChanCery Clerk B. F. Miles tx- plains Position In Seeking Reelection.

l 0 the people of Onlon county:
 Owing to the fact that the duties of the office require practically all my time, and as my time belongs to the people whose office l am filling, it will be impossible for me to see great many of the voters whom 1 would like to see and talk to personally. So 1 take this method of letting you know l am in the race for reelection to the office of Circuit Clerk and earnest ly solicit your support.
 1 am making the race upon my merits, if have any. and upon the record of service 1 have rendered during the time have been your public servant. From the exper- fence have had in the line of work that belongs to the circuit clerks office feel l have reached thai point of efficiency that will enable me to render better service for the next two years than 1 have in the past.
 believe the people of the county are awake to the fact that the se- lection of. men to fill the various offices of the county should be based upon experience, qualifica- tion and merit, and the time has come, believe. that calls for quail flied and efficient men in office all along the line from constable to governor
 have been tried, and weighed in the public balances and whether or not have come up to the full meas urement of duty submit to the people of Union county in whose judgment, intelligence and fairness 1 have an abiding faith.
 And, if in your judgment 1 have come up to the full requirements of duty, served you honestly, faithful ly and efficiently, treated the peo- pie right and given satisfaction then 1 ask, would it be good business judgment to put me out at this time, when l am only asking for one more term, and elect a man that you have never tried?
 The same question might be ap- piled in the various business rela- tions of life; if any one in the coun- ty. whether merchant. banker. a mill man or farmer should have a person working for him. or in his employ, whom he had tried and tested in all the various duties for which that one had been employed, and after he or she had become thoroughly familiar with every de- tail of the work he or she had been assigned to do, and that person had proved himself or herself to be hon est and faithful and in every way satisfactory to his or her employer, then would it be good business judgment to turn that servant of and hire new hand at the same price, who had never had any ex- perience. The person with the ex- perience can certainly came nearer up to the standard of efficient ser vice that the one who has had no experience.
 There has been great deal said about four year rotation in office, but when you analizet the proposi- tion there is nothing to it except the fellow out of office wants to be rotated in. Now, let's see. There are about 5,2Oo white voters now in the county. and there are quite a number of them, no doubt, wEo
