Motor cars and motor trucks have
important parts to play in the army
field service during the present Eu-
ropean conflict, according to mill
tary experts. 1t is claimed that over
900 motor cars and about 200 trucks
will do much of the service work In
the field of operations. A large per-
centage of the machines used IN
such service are made In America
although some, of course, are OF
French and German makes. Then, OF
couse, the motorcycles are being
used advantageously. These are al
ways ready for instant use and can
carry messages more quickly than
they can be delivered in any other

Rocky mountains, according to Ar

and Ernest Zitzewitz, wealthy Chi
cago young man, who passed through
here recently on an auto vacation

more western branch of the forks of
the road

SALTS FINE FOR
 ACHING KIDNEYS
WE. EAT TOO MUCH MEAT WHICH CLOGS KIDNEYS, THEN THE
 BACK HURTS

Most folks forget that the kidneys. like the bowels, get sluggish and clog ged and need flushing occasionally. else we have backache and dull misery in the kidney region, severe headaches, rheumatic twinges, torpid liver, acid stomach. sleeplessness and all sorts of bladder 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 lad Salts from any good drug store here. take a tablespoonful in glass of wa ter before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from tho acid of grapes and lemon juice, com bined with Hthia, and Is harmless to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity. It also neu- tralizes the acids in the urine so 1t no longer irritates, thus ending bladder disorders.
 lad Salts Is harmless: inexpensive; makes delightful effervescent lithia- water drink which everybody should take now and then to keep their kid-l neys clean, thus avoiding serious conn plications.
 A well-known local druggist says he sells lots of lad Salts to folks who believe in overcoming kidney trouble while it is only trouble.

ERNEST GETS INTO
 TROUBLE ALL ALONE

Ernest Francis Clark got in trouble last night.
 Ernest dressed in one of those nice Palm Beach suits was out motoring about 12:45 o'clock this morning and his chauf- feur was rather taxing the speed limit for a deep sea taxi" when Motorcycle Scout E. P. Foley hove in sight at Four teenth street and Eighth avenue, north.
 Scout Foley knowing of old the speed ing proclivities of Milton Gakias, the taxi driver, held up his hand warningly and said:
 You want to slow up. Milton, or I'll get you"
 "All right, MT. Foley was the cheer full reply of the driver. However, this did not at all suit Ernest who was sitting in the tonneau. With a nonchalance that was beautiful to behold he lrew roll of bills and pealing off one of the $l variety held it carelessly over the edge of the car in the face of Scout Foley who was riding alongside and affably said
 "Old top, don't be duffer. Take this and buy yourself a cigar and forget about us.''
 Officer Foley took the money-as evi- dence. He ordered the taxicab to stop and approaching the affable Ernest Fran els Clark in the rear seat he said: What do you mean by giving me this dolar?"
 What say. old chap? Isn't it enough7 I have more here for you,'' was the al legged reply of Ernest. The answer did not appease Scout Foley for he oruereu the driver to go at once to the city jai where Ernest was locked up, over his violent protest, on the charge of attempt ing to bribe an officer.

Commerce last night peti- tions were circulated today asking for an election on the question of adopting l commission government in Gadsden. As only about $50 names are needed to | secure the election it is probable that | it will be called. Opposition to the plan arises because of the fact that the governor appoints the first set of com
 missioners Many people insist that they must be given some assurance
 that prohibition laws will be enforced
 strictly before they will favor the plan. l Upon his second attempt to escape
 from the city jail Harry Barkneld was
 successful. Barlxfield was serving a
 term for violating the prohibition law. Following his first attempt Sunday
 night he was fined $25 addition in po- l lice court, but. told the mayor at that time that he would escape. He broke the cell door lock and dug his way to 1 liberty through brick wall. Lonnie
