pervisors have right of eminent do
main over such timber as they may
need. in building causeways, bridges

asking if the Bureau should take ap-
propriate action upon the application
Of Thomas NJ. Eldridge, of Philadel-

held that if the applicant is otherwise
eligible he should be permitted to take
an examination in massage and allied
branches. Another decision was ren.
dered to William NJ. Smith, State Com

TAKE SALTS To
FLUSH KIDNEYS
Eat Less Meat If You Feel Backachy
or Bladder Troubles You-Salts
Is Fine for Kidneys

Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their eff
forts to filter it from the system. Reg
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 duh misery in the kid
ney region, sharp pains in the back or
sick headache, dizziness, your stom-
ach sours, tongue is coated and when
the weather is bad you have rheu-
matte twinges. The urine is cloudy,
full of sediment; the channels often get
irritated, 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 four ounces of Jad Salts from
any pharmacy; take tablespoonful in
glass of water before breakfast for
few days and your kidneys will then
act fine and bladder disorders disap-
pear. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice, CON-
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys and stop bladder ir.
ritation. Jad Salts is inexpensive (:

THE STATES WHEAT CROP
Gains 100000 BUSHELS
Condition as of October 1, as Estimat-N
ed by Pennsylvania Department of
Agriculture, Shows Total of a.
352,OOO Bushels for 1914

Until this year the State Depart.
ment of Agriculture received crop
statements from voluntary correspon.
dents. Now, however, the work is sys.
tematized. and is under the direction of
Mr.. Il. II. While. trained statiscian,
who is in charge of the new depart
fnent Mr., While sends to each town
ship an exhaustive list of questions
each month and from the replies he
complies full report of crop condi-
tions. The report ON crop conditions as
of October /, shows that Pennsylvania
crops are in a fine condition. The de-
tailed report includes the following
figures:
Wheat, estimated area harvested, l.
$4,000 acres; product per acre, 1875
bushels; total estimated product for
1914, 24,272, 900 bushels; quality com
pared with an average, 50 per cent;
crop of 1913 still in producers hands,
4 per cent; damage by the Hessian
fly, 10 per cent.
Rye, estimated area harvested, $780,
600 acres; product per acre, II bush
els total estimated product for 1914,
4.760.000 bushels; quality compared
with an average, 50 per cent.
Oats, estimated area harvested, L.

Bushels; total estimated product for
1914, 81, 1,ll7,O00 bushels; quality COM
pared with an average, 80 per cent.

Potatoes, probable total yield com
pared with last year, 80 per cent.
Tobacco, prospect compared with an
average yield. 95 per cent.
Pasture, condition compared with an
average, S5 per cent.
Apples, prospect compared with last
year, $50 per cent.
The estimated production Of wheat
in Pennsylvania is approximately p
100000 more bushels than the csti-
mated production of one year ago; but
the acreage was slightly larger this
year than last. The average increase in
production this year over last is about
one and one-half bushels per acre. The
Hessian fly damaged the wheat con.
siderably in certain sections of the
state, particularly IN Berks and Mont
gomery counties.
The estimated acreage and produc-
tion of rye are about same as 1918. The
acreage of oats for 1914 is about ST.
GOO acres less than harvested last year.
The average production per acre is
about two bushels less per acre. The
decrease in production is largely due
to the unfavorable condition at the
time of seeding and to the ravages of
the army worm. The army worm dam
aged the crop more particularly in the
northwestern counties.
The dry weather has materially af-
feeted the crop in many parts of the
State, yet in other sections there is a
very large crop. Reports indicate that
the potato crop, about 80 per cent. of
an average yield, is very poor in many
counties. Pasture is very poor due to
the long drought
