The Webster City council, by a
vote of five to two, abolished the Of
flee of city superintendent of the
light and water works, and thus the
position to which Sunny" Long had
recently been appointed, is done
away with. The news Of Sunny
getting this position was published
in last weeks paper and it seems
there was considerable politics mix
ed up in the deal. The newly elect-
ed mayor of Webster City. who had
the proper right to name the city
superintendent, gave the position to
Mr.. Long. 1t was not long, howev-
er, until the council, brought on by
pressure from the outside, began to
devise means of taking this power
away from the mayor. The result
was the office was done away with
and Mr.. Long no longer holds this
official title. "Sunny's" friends here
regret to learn of this misfortune,

sidered, but the boys concluded to
remain in the infantry ranks.
Whether the company letter, will
be changed from &c" to "E" under
the new arrangement of regiments
will be decided later. The letters US
ed to designate the different COM
panies are based upon the best or
most advantageous formation of the
battalions, four companies forming
such an organization. Under these
conditions four companies which are
located at points near each other are
best available to form a battalion.

The Misunderstood Centipede.

So.
L. E. Bladine in the Cedar Falls
Record: Have you little centipede
in your home? Not the big, hairy,
scary southern variety but the small
northern kind which loves dark cor
ners and damp walls, and which is
abhorred by the housekeeper?
If so, don't drive him out-keep
him there. At least, that's what the
scientists are saying now. He's a
very useful little beast. He eats up
flies, cockroaches and other vermin.
He's as handy an aid to the home as
the songbird to the garden. His bite,
which he rarely dispenses upon hui
mans, is not dangerous and may be
relieved by solution of ammonia
and water.
OF course, he isn't beautiful to
contemplate, and in spite of the ZOO
logists' advice one can't imagine a
household so devoted as to keep Sis
ter Susie sewing socks for cent?
pedes. Still, it's we'll to realize that
every cloud has it's silver lining and
not even the much-disliked multipod
is as bad as he is painted.
Spare, friend housewife, your
friend, the bug-eating centipede.

Heights. In the town hall. on Alabama
avenue southeast. to the effect that the
Post Office Department intended to
abolish the branch substation in that
suburb about May and place the en-
tire section directly under station II. in
Anacostia, thereby reverting back to
the rural service. was the cause of
much discussion. resulting in the ap-
pointment of a special committee, with
President W. W. Price as chairman, to
visit the city postmaster, and, If neces-
sary, the Postmaster General. to pre-
vent such an order from being pro-
mulgated.
All of the details of the proposed
elimination were not revealed The
committee will endeavor to show that
the volume of business carried on by
the present substation is large enough
to Justify its continuance, and also that
the population is large enough to war
rant more than the ordinary rural serv-
ice. If the order was put into effect, it
was said, It would be necessary for
residents 70 go to station FL, in Ana
costa. to mail package at a POST

MEAT CAUSE OF
KIDNEY TROUBLE.
Take a glass of Salts if your
Back hurts or Bladder
bothers-Meat forms
uric acid.

If you must have your meat
every day, eat it. but flush your
kidneys with salts occasionally
says noted authority who tells
US that meat forms uric acid, which
almost paralyzes the kidneys in
their efforts to expel it from the
blood. They become sluggish and
weaken. then you suffer with dull
misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in the back or sick headache,
dizziness. your stomach sours,
tongue is coated and when the
weather is bad You have rheumatic
twinges. The urine gets cloudy.
full Of sediment, the channels often
get sore and irritated, obliging
you to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating
acids, to cleanse the kidneys and
flush off the body's urinous waste
get four ounces Of Jad Salts from
any pharmacy here; take table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts i. made from the acid
of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia; and has been
used for generations to flush and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also TO
neutralizc the acids in urine, so it
no longer irritates, thus ending
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot
( injure. and makes a delightful ef-
ffervescent Whitewater drink.

mitted purchasing some OF the explo-

conscience necessary to make a crime
He said the officer Is preventing crime.
