kidneys with salts occasionally,
says a noted authority who tells
US that meat forms uric acid which
almost paralyzes the kidneys in
their efforts to expcl it from the

and weaken, then you suffer with
dull misery in the kidney region,
sharp pains in the back or sick
headache, dizziness, your stomach
sours, tongue is coated and when
the weather is bad yor have rheu
matte twinges. The urine gets
cloudy, full of sediment, the chan
nels often get sore and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or
three times during the night:
To neutralize these irritating
acids, to cleanse the kidneys and
flush off the body's urinous waste,
get four ounces Of Jad Salts from
any pharmacy here; take table
spoonful in a glass of water be-
fore breakfast for a lew days and
your kidneys will then 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 flush and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
neutralize the acids in urine, SO it

Horse Thief Arrested

Arthur T. Palmer, alias George w.
Brown, who has for several weeks
been employed by the Salvation Army,
in Wilmington, as Il driver Of a wagon
used in collecting old papers, etc, was
arrested in Elkton Monday night on
the charge of horse stealing. He was
sent out on his route Monday morning
but drove to Elkton, where he un-
hitched the horse, leaving the wagon
in an alley along Mill Lane, and went
to Harlan's livery stable and offered
the animal to Mr.. Harlan for Sl5. Mr.
Harlan was suspicious and began
questioning Palmer, who told him to
call up the sheriff and ask if he had
heard of any horse being stolen. The
liveryman did so and was informed
that the sheriff had heard nothing
about any horse being stolen. Mr..
Harlan then paid Palmer the SIS and
place the horse in his stable. Palmer
afterward walked up to the railroad
station and purchased a ticket for
Baltimore. In the meantime Bailiff
Potts was notified about the abandon
ed Salvation Army wagon and upon
investigation found that Harlan had
purchased the horse, and went to the
station and placed Palmer under ar
rest. The Salvation Army headquar-
ters in Wilmington were notified and
one of the officers came to Elkton on
Tuesday morning and took the team
back to Wilmington, refunding Har-
Ian the money he had paid to Palmer.
The thief was placed in Elkton Jail,
where he remained until Tuesday
morning, when he was taken to Will
mington by Delaware authorities and
held in $500 bail for Court.

Eastern Shore '|Gallon" Law

That the Eastern Shore anti-ship-
ping law which regulates the shipment
of Intoxicating liquors into the nine
counties east of the bay IS expected
seriously to interfere with the reve-
nues of the transportation companies
operating in that section is indicated
in petition filed with the Public Ser
vice Commission by the Rochester
Steamboat Company.
This company operates lines of
steamers that touch points in Kent,
Cecil and Dorchester counties, in each
of which considerable quantities of
liquor have heretofore been regularly
consumed by the inhabitants thereof.
The Company has asked the Com
mission, in view of the new law which
goes into effect tomorrow restricting
the quantity of liquor that may be
shipped in any one month, that its
rates may be increased 100 per cent.
on such liquor.
The Company, in its petition, which
is informal, sets out that in addition
to the restriction as to the amount of
liquor which one person may receive,
which is limited to one gallon of dis
titled spirits or six dozen bottles of
beer a month, the Company will be re-
quired to keep account of the ship
ments and make reports to State off
cials, and that this involves extra ex-
pense.
While the Commission has as vet
taken no formal action on the petition
it is understood that its is inclined to
view the complaint as justified and
will approve the proposed increased
tariff. If this is done there is little
doubt that the other transportation
companies will follow sIlit.
