BOSS COMPANY
MOVES BRANCH
Local Glove and Mitten Firm
Moves to Kewanee
Headquarters.

The Boss Manufacturing company OF
Kewanee has closed it's branch in
city and the machinery is being ship
ped to main headquarters today. De-
preston in business as a result of the
war is given as the cause for the clos
ing of the local branch.
At the local factory, which was To-
Gated in the old postoffice building, Six
teenth street and Third avenue, about
100 girls were employed and all will
be thrown out of employment as none
of them are to be taken to the Eewa-
nee factory. The plant here was es-
tablished about a year ago under the
direction of A. NJ. Dinsmore, cotton
gloves and mfttens being the output.
The Boss company operates a large
number of local branches of this kind
in various cities, but general consoli-
dalton with the main Pant is being
favored.

Campbell is delighted with results.
The shifts are SO arranged that every
employee enjoys "a hours on each
week One force commences work at
6 o'clock in the morning. another at 2
o'clock in the afternoon and the night
shift at 10 o'clock. The primary pur-
pose of the establishment OF this sys-
TEN, according to DR.. Campbell, was
for the benefit Of the patients and TO
better the service rendered them.
In view of the success OF the plan
as applied to the local hospital, II is
thought that the state board Of admin
istration will heed the petitions sent
in by employees of other state institu-
tons Of this kind and inaugurate a
similar schedule throughout the state.

MEAT INJURIOUS
TO THE KIDNEYS
Take a Tablespoonful of
Salts if Back Hurts or
Bladder BOtherS.

We are a nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid, says
well known authority, who warns
us to be constantly on guard against
kidney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork; they
get sluggish; the elminative tissues
clog and thus the waste is retained in
the blood 10 poison the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps of lead and you have sting
ing pains in the back or the urine is
cloudy. full of sediment or the bladder
is irritable. obliging you 10 seek re-
lief during the night; when you have
severe headaches nervous and dizzy
spells sleeplessness acid stomach or

your pharmacist about four ounces of
lad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a
glass OF water before breakfast each
morning and in a few days your kid
neys 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 flush
and stimulate clogged kidneys to neu-
traliZe the acids in urine so IL is no
longer a source of irritation thus end
ing urinary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can

vescent lithia water drink and nobody
can make a mistake by taking a little
