is EPILEPSY CONQUERED
New Jersey Physician Said TO Have
Many Cures 70 His Credit.

Red Bank, N. J. (Special) .-Advices
from every direction fully confirm pre-
vicus reports that the remarkable
treatment Cor epilepsy being admins
tered by the consulting physician of
the Kline Laboratories, Of this city, is
achieving wonderful results. Old and
stubborn cases have been greatly bene-
fited and many patients claim to have
been entirely cured.
Persons suffering from epilepsy
should write at once to Kline Labora-

cause they are too busy during the
spring months to do required work.
When evergreens are planted late
they should be thoroughly watered and
dust mulch maintained around the
roots until winter sets in.
It is difficult to tell by the looks Of
the trees whether they survive during
the late summer months or not, as
very often they retain their verdure
some time after they are dead.
In the spring, however, trees that
die turn brown within two or three
weeks. The better time to plant ever
greens, is. in our opinion, in the
spring and we see no reason why fall
planting should be resorted to unless
through necessity. ATS

TAKE a GLASS OF SALTS
WHEN BLADDER BOTHERS
Harmless to Flush Kidneys and Neu-
tralize Irritating Acids-Splendid
for the System.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder,
where it often remains to irritate and
lnfiame, causing a burning, scalding
sensation, or setting up an irritation
at the neck of the bladder, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night. The sufferer is in
constant dread, the water passes
sometimes with a scalding sensation
and is very profuse; again, there is
difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
it, because they can't control urina.

and sometimes very painful, this is
really one of the most simple ailments
to overcome. Get about four ounces
Of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and

PLANT EvERGREENs EARLY

The best time to plant evergreens
is early in the spring just when the
new seasons growth is starting. 1t is
a mistake to plant too early; but if
the planting is delayed until June, the
trees are not apt to do well unless
frequently watered and mulched dur
ing the summer months.
Some planting is done In August,
but We do not believe an inexperi-
enced person can make his trees grow
when planted SO late.
Nurseries frequently put out their
evergreens in July and August but
more from necessitv than choice. be-

BRYAN CAN'T PART WITH DESK
Took 1t with Him When He LET
State Department.

Though Mr.. Bryan found it possible to
part company with President Wilson he
could not bee !, it developed yesterday. to
leave the hug historic desk In his Office
in the Sta-e Department. Accordingly he
took, the desk with him when he left.
Mr.. Bryan became greatly attached to
the desk while serving as Secretary of
State, principally because he felt 1t had
a peculiar personal and historical value
to him because his peace treaties were
signed on it. Accordingly, when he left
the department he arranged to have a
new desk of the same size made to the
order of the department and the old one
was sent to his home.
The desk in question is indeed historic,
as it had been in the State Department
for nearly fifty years.
