EAT LESS MEAT
IF BACK HURTS
Take a glass Of Salts to hush Kidneys
If Bladder bothers you-Drink
lots Of water.

Eating meat regularly eventually pro
duees kidney trouble in some form or
other, says a well-known authority, be-
cause the uric acid in meat excites the
kidneys, they become oyerworked; get
sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of
distress, particularly baekache and mis-
cry in the kidney region; rheumatic twin
ges, severe headaches, acid stomach, con-
stipation, torpid liver. sleeplessness,
bidder and urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces Of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take a 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, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
lush clo1ged kidneys and stimulate them

Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;

DISEASE OF CATTLE
WORST IN HISTORY
FOOT AND MOUTH AILMENT is
SPREADING AND SIX STATES
ARE UNDER QUARANTINE.
RESTRICTIONS ARE PLACED
Shipments May Be Made From Nom
infected Territory to Slaughter
Houses Within Restricted Area.
Chicago Stock Yards Closed.

Washington.-The worst outbreak of
foot and mouth disease ever known
in the United States, is the secre-
tary of agriculture's estimate of the
live stock problem which has forced
federal authorities to quarantine over
six states and threatens temporary
reduction of the nations food supply.
An emergency appropriation by con-
gress may be required to finance the
campaign to suppress the epidemic.
Officials claim that it will be a week
before they can forecast the extent to
which the food supply will be affected.
The quarantine does not prevent the
shipment from stock from unaffected
districts to slaughter houses within
the quarantined area and there is no
embargo against the shipment of dress
ed meat.
New York and Maryland were added
to the list of quarantined states We'd
nesday. A department of agriculture
official said:
THE list of states now quarantined
d.
York, Maryland, Indiana, Michigan,
Illinois and Pennsylvania. In addition
to these, restrictions have been placed
upon interstate shipments from Ohio,
although no cases have as yet been
found in the state. There is reason
to fear that infected stock may have
been sent into Ohio. If this is found
not to have been the case the embargo
will be lifted. This outbreak is the
first in the United States since 1908,
and its virulence seems to be above
the average.
Interstate shipments of cattle,
sheep and swine are absolutely pro-
hibited from the states now infected"
The discovery of 600 infected cattle
in the Chicago stock yards was regard
ed as the most serious development in
the situation. CT somewhat less i'm
portance was the report that eleven
cattle in the National Dairy Show in
Chicago had been infected.
The outbreak in New York State
occurred among a half dozen herds
in the Buffalo stock yards.
The disease originated in Michigan
and has spread to various districts
through shipments of affected ami
mails.
The Chicago union stock yards, the
largest cattle market in the world,
which has been in continuous business
since 1865, Wednesday was ordered
closed for several days because of the
prevalence of the hoof and mouth dis.
ease among cattle.

The SUCCESS OF FISH
HATCHERIES IN TEXAS
Commissioner Sterett to Recommend
One for Southwestern Part of
the State.

Austin, Tex.-In his annual report
which w. G. Sterett, state game, fish
and oyster commissioner, will file
with the governor soon, he will recon-
mend the establishment of another
fish hatchery in the near future some
where in the southwestern part of the
state. Commissioner Sterett is of the
opinion that San Antonio should be
the place selected. mo place presents
such advantages as San Antonio
where all the water necessary can be
secured and where railroads reach out
into nearly all parts of the territory"
Commissioner Sterett calls atten-
ton to the fact that to carry out the
full intent of the sand and shell law
it will be necessary to establish an
other hatchery. There is only one
state hatchery now, it being located
at Dallas. 1t was constructed at a
cost of $4,000 and has been main
tanned without a dollars direct cost
to the people Of the state.
The law known as The sand and
L,
provides that the revenues derived
from the sale of its commodities shall
be devoted to the maintenance of the
game, fish and oyster department, and
if there should be an excess of reve-
nues over the expenses for such main
tenance they should be devoted to the
establishment of fish hatcheries.
Such excess quickly appeared after
the law was enacted. The result was
that the department last fall began the
establishment of hatchery at Dallas.
The park board and the municipal au-
thorities of that city donated about
twenty acres of land within the en-
closure of the state fair grounds, to-
gether with a brick building and all
fencing. Besides this the state was
guaranteed by the authorities men
toned at least 100000 gallons Of pure
water daily for the operation of the
establishment
1.-The location is ideal and the state
has received most generous treatment
from such authorities in the plan Of
making this hatchery the most COM
plete and attractive to be found any,
where. In the construction of tanks,
ponds, buildings, ETC., there has been
necessarily large expense and slow
progress, the latter due in part to the
unusual rain which fell in the fall and
winter season. However, the breed
ing ponds were completed by spring
and fish for breeding purposes placed
therein, but they were thus placed so
late that they did not have time to be-
come accustomed to the new waters
and conditions, and hence the output
Of the hatchery will be small this
year.
"In my experience with this hatch
cry one all essential fact has been
fixed in my mind, and that is the sue
cessful operation Of fish hatchery
depends largely on the facilities for
the distribution of the output Of the
breeding ponds. A hatchery can not
be made of value to the public unless
it is located where railroads lead to
the different localities and by which
the fry can be quickly carried to the
waters to which they are destined.
Our law requires that all the product
of the hatcberies shall be placed in
the public waters of the state and they
should be located at points accessible
to these public waters"
