FOR BETTER ROADS
IN DOMINION OF CANADA.
The Government 10 lnaugurstin0 .
Systematic Campaign.

Canada is preparing for systematic
campaign for the improvement of all
her roads. especially those joining the
Dominion with the United States, &C.
cording to an announcement made by
l. s. Pennypacker, executive assistant
Of the American Highway association.
who attended the first Canadian road
congress-. -'' ''':-
American tourists who have been
distressed by Canadian roads will vel
come the announcement made by Mr..
Pennypacker. because 1t is believed
that within q comparatively short time
it will be possible to motor over good
roads in Canada. The chief obstacle
in the way Of accomplishment Of the
Canadian Good Road association.
which he assisted in forming, is the
fact that there are some political DIFF
ferences between the provincial and
Dominion governments as to the ex-
penditure Of road funds. Commenting
ION the situation, Mr.. Pennypaeker said:
"ln spite of these obstacles am
convinced that within short time
there will be noticeable improvement
of the roads in Canada. AS the con-
gress progressed better understand
ing was apparent. and political differ
ences were lost sight of. The Domin-
ion government, through its representa-
tive. the secretary Of state. seemed to
take a deep interest In the subject OF
road improvement and pledged the gov
ernment to aid the provinces in every
way possible. While it is true that
the roads in Canada for the main part
are in rather bad shape. this congress
will undoubtedly be the entering
wedge to a movement which will
spread throughout the various prov
inces. The permanent organization
which was formed is designed to bring
together all factions and to unite the
provinces into one centralized move
ment for the betterment Of roads,"

TAKE SALTS To
FLUSH KIDNEYS
Eat Less Meat if You Feel Back
achy or Have Bladder
Trouble.

Meat forms uric acid which eXcites
and oVerworks the kidneys in their eff

ular eaters of meat must flush the kid
neys occasionally. You must relieve
them like you relieve your bowels; re-
moving all the acids, waste and poison,
else you feel a dull misery in the kid
-ney region, sharp pains in the back or
sick headache, dizziness, your stomach
sours, tongue is coated and when the
weather is bad you have rheumatic
twinges. The urine is cloudy, full Of
sediment; the channels often get irri-
tated, obliging you to get up two or
three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about 4 ounces of Jad Salts from
any pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in
a glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will then act
fine and bladder disorders disappear.
This famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for gem
erations to clean and stimulate sluggish
kidneys and stop bladder irritation. Jad
Salts is inexpensive; harmless and
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-

women take now and then, thus avoid
