Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels, get sluggish and
clogged and need flushing occasion
ally, else we have backache and duu
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 Jad
Salts from any good drug store here.
take tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and is harmless to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate
them TO normal activity. 1t also neu-
tralizes the acids in the urine so 1t no
longer irritates, thus ending bladder
disorders.

Houghton of Weld, who is alleged to
be insane, and who was brought to
Augusta Monday by Chairman L. NJ.
Newman of the board of selectmen

woman was refused admission to that

of Weld the Augusta municipal officers
held a hearing in the case, but as
Drs. Mann and Mckay testified that
from what observation they had made,
and not knowing the history of the
case, they were not prepared to sign
certificate for Mrs. Houghton's COM
mitment to the hospital, the case was
dismissed. Mrs. Houghton was taken
back to Weld Wednesday afternoon

Local Political Chat.

On the files at the office of the city
treasurer Is a receipted bill for 1000
feet Of Paramount hose at 65 cents
per foot, purchased of the Boston
Woven Hose & Rubber Company. The
bill was rendered on Aug. 1e for $3.50.
The discount for cash brought the bill
down to s643.50 and that is what the
hose cost the city of Augusta. That is
the only bill for hose this year and it
embraces the 1000 feet referred TO in
the following sentence:
zone thousand feet of hose was
bought at cost of $3.50.
This sentence is quoted from May
OF Newbert's statement Of what ne
claims to have accomplished during
his term of office. Taxpayers are sup
posed to gather from these words that
the city has $3.50 worth more Of hose
as one result of Mr.. Newbert having
held office. AS a matter of fact 1t Is
only s64350 worth.
Desiring to be entirely fair, a rep
resentative Of the Republican city
committee called on Mayor Newbert
Wednesday morning and asked him to
state whether or not the figures $3.50
were correct. Mr.. Newbert replied that
he gave the figures from memory and
that he thought that perhaps the
hose did cost less, perhaps u or 70
cents a foot The first price discussed
was rs cents. If the figures were wrong
that was due to an "inadvertance.
The Republican city committee holds
the opinion that Mr.. Newbert's state
ment of what his administration has
done for the city are full OF mad
vertances" and will call attention TO
them from time to time. There is, OIL
course, no suggestion of dishonesty,
simply an "inadvertance" now ana
then, which somehow gives the voters
an impression that this Democratic ad-
ministration ought not to lose ITS Jop-
This whole campaign in Mr. Newoerts
behalf may simply be an 'lnadVert-
ance." The voters will decide that.
BY the way, a good serviceable die
tionary says that an "inadvertance' is
sometimes an involuntary accident.
The dictionary's statement isn't at all
bad in view of the circumstances sur
rounding Mr.. Newberts election.
