TICK-FREE COUNTIES.

Jackson, Miss, Aug. 24.EAccOrding
to Dr. Z. Barnett, secretary of the live
stock sanitary board, who was in at
tendance on the all-daN meeting held
here yesterday, there is a total of A
counties, which are either entirely or
partly tick free, while in others the
preliminaries toward getting in line
for the work are under way. At the
meeting Yesterday five additional
counties were added to the list Of
these entirely free and in which the
quarantine will be raised by Sept. -,
1915. The five counties are Clarke,
Leake, Bolivar, Lafayette and Clai-
borne The entire area of Clarke will
be released for the first time, while
in the other four part of the area has
been previously cleared of ticks and
released, leaving small portions i'll
each still under infestation with the
ticks.
DR.. ]. A. Herman, government veter-
marian in general charge, who has
personally inspected the conditions
and heard the statements of the local
! government officers, is satisfied with
the conditions, and his recommends
tions will be made to the bureau OF
animal industry in accordance with
this information.
The experience in Mississippi, which
/ has been encountered by the live
stock sanitarians has been similar to
that which has prevailed in other
states and parts of states in getting
the people to adopt proper measures
for promoting the health and market
able condition of their stock. Almost
from the first start in Mississippi the
officials in charge Of tick eradication
were met on every hand by obstruc.
tionists and old school farmers and
stock raisers. In many counties it
took a great deal of missionary work
not only to get start made, but to Sc
cure the cooperation both of county
officials and herdsmen in the building
of dipping watts. Even today in some
parts of the state there are men and
factions of men who would rather use
dynamite than have their cattle dip
ped and this is the class of men who
retard progress and who are RESPONSE

calities where the work is still in its
embryo stage.

HEAVY MEAT EATERS
HAVE SLOW KIDNEYS
Eat less meat if you feel Backachy or
have bladder troGble-Take
glass Of Salta

No man or woman who eats meat reg1I-
larly can make mistake by flushing the
kidneys occasionally, says a wellknown
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
excites the kidneys, they become over
worked from the strain, get sluggish and
fail to filter the waste and poisons from
the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in the
kidneys or your back hurts or if the
urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sedi-
ment, irregular of passage or attended by
a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat
and get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast and in few days your kidneys
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
the kidneys, also to neutralize the acids
in urine so it no longer causes irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications.
