have better care. 1t is Professor
Thompson's opinion that if the trees
are properly cared for, no great mum.
Der of trees need to be planted for a
while.
The speaker asserted that a little
care on the part of property owners
would go a good way toward solving
the tree problem in this city. He
urged that the proper kind of trees
be planted and that they receive care
in their early growth. Trees should be
watched for signs of destructive in

GILES USES MOVIE
IN FLY CAMPAIGN

The latest allies of the anti-fly
forces are the schools of the city. Ev-
cry scholar will see the 'fly-movie"
that is being shown at the Murrette
this week. Tickets have been distrib-
uted to all students.
This is no flash-in-the-pan cam
paign, but a systematic fight for the
determination of the fly" said Super
intendent of Schools J. I. Giles, this
afternoon I'VE intend to get right
down to the bottom of the question
and do the thing up right, but, of
course, this cannot be done in days
time"
with the cooperation of the civic
bodies, schools and clubs of the city
we are certain of accomplishing good
results. The children of the schools
will be enlisted in the fight and every
means taken to eradicate the pest,
asserted Mr.. Giles.
The films being shown at the Muir
rette this week offers a good illustra-
ton of the deadly work of the fly,
The film traces the steps in the evo-
luton of the fly, it's breeding places
and it's haunts The reel exhibits how
the fly visits filthy places and then
ahghts on the food on the table.

SALTS IF BACKACHY
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Drink lots Of water and stop eating
meat for a while If your Bladder
troubles you.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the Kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they be-
come sort Of paralyZed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them, like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache. dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twingeS. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, channels often
get sore, water scalds and you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult a good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your phar-
macist about four ounces of Jad Salts
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 the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize
acids in the urine SO it no longer ir-
ritates, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is life saver for regular
meat eaters 1t is inexpensive, cannot
iniure and makes a delightful, efferve-
scent lithia-water drink.

PETITIONS TO OIL
COVER ALL STREETS

At meeting of the board of public
works today motion was passed that
petition for street oiling filed by
residents of any part of any street
would be considered petition for the
oiling of the entire street, and that
each street oiling petition would be
approved unless successfully remon-
strated against by a majority of all
the residents of the street in question.
The board does not desire to have
the city assume the responsibility for
the collection OF all delinquent street
oiling assessments. The board merely
desires to pass upon all petitions for
street oiling and make the contractor
responsible for the collection of all
assessments.
Asks Bonds Opinion.
City Attorney Bond was asked to
prepare a. written opinion as to
whether the state law pertaining to
street oiling obligates the city to col
lect all delinquent assessments; If not
whether the contractor assumes all
losses; whether the city is liable for
paying the cost of oiling in front Of
vacant lots, and if the city is liable
for delinquent assessments it shall pay
the contractor for the same and then
place the assessments on the tax dup
licate as lien against the affected
property, with interest at per cent
per year.
There have been quite a number Of
oiling petitions filed with the board
but the majority of them ask for the
oiling of only small sections of a
street. If the board permitted oiling
to be done in this manner there would
be many streets with unoiled strips,
which would be very unsatisfactory.
Therefore the board has decided that
the entire length of a street must be
oiled or the improvement not made.
File Complaints.
Accompanying nearly all petitions
are complaints against the condition Of
the streets. many of which are in
frightful shape, the natural result of
the false economy policy of the last
administration which ordered its
street commissioner to place such thin
macadam surfaces on the streets that
they were worn into ruts within a year
after they had been made, for the most
part The boards attention was called
to the condition of South A street, ma
cadamed about three years ago with a
shallow surface. 1t is now as bad as
an unimproved country pike. in
marked contrast with South Four
teenth street and the first block OF
North Tenth street, made with deer
macadam surfaces over six years age
and which are today almost as gooG
as when they were made.
To Make Repairs.
The board is going to put the ma
Cadam streets in the best condition
possible this year, but if all the
streets which needed remaking were

INSPECTOR DOOMS
COUNTER MEASURE

Conditions in Richmond 50 far as
observance of the state weights and
measures regulations are concerned
are above the average. and your local
inspector, George Mckinley, is doing
good work and appears to be q very
competent official, but there is going
to be stricter observance of the reg
ulations in this and all the other cit
les of the state" said John T. Will
lett, chief weights and measures In
spector of the state, today at the con-
clusion of his two days inspection Of
conditions in Richmond.
Mr. Willett and Inspector Mckinley
made a thorough inspection yesterday
and today. Four scales were con-
demned and taken up, also quite a
few defective measures. A creamery
of all butter sold by 1t must be la
beled on the butter wrappings.
Local commission merchants were
notified that in the future they would
have to sell all their staples by the
weight and not by the measure.
Counter Tacks Go.
The two officials called upon Secre-
tary Jordan, of the Commercial club.
and Mr.. Willett notified him that all
dry goods stores must dispense with
counter tack measures and substitute
yard stick measures. Mr.. Jordan said
! this order was acceptable to the dry
goods merchants and would be COM
piled with before May 1.
Saloon keepers were notified that in
the future all liquors sold by the
quart, pint and half pint must have
the quantity labeled on the bottles.
| Willett even visited state institu
ton, the insane hospital, to see if the
scales used there were giving full
weight.
| Peddlers, Mr.. Willett notified In
spector Mckinley, should carry scales
on their wagons so they would be sure
to know that each bushel of vegeta
bles they sold weighed 60 pounds ant
each peck Is pounds. If measure o.

to the required weight the salesman
is liable to prosecution.

plants of short weights and shor

Mckinley after Mr.. Willett had let
