CLASS OF SALTS
CLEANS KIDNEYS
If your Back hurts or
Bladder bothers you,
drink lots of water

When your kidneys hurt and yAur
hack feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a
lot of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract
Keep your kidneys clean like you
keep your bowels clean, by flushing
them with mild harmless salts which
removes the body's urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal activ-
ity The function of the kidneys Is
to filter the blood. In "a hours they
strain from it 500 grains of acid and
waste. so we can readily understand
the vital Importance of keeping the
kidneys active.
Drink lots Of water-you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharaa-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass OF wa
ter before breakfast each morning for
few days and 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 clean and stlrn-
ulate clogged kidneys; also to neutral
ize the acids in urine so it no longer
is a source of irritation, thus ending
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia- water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep
their kidneys clean and active. Try
this, also keep up the water drinking.
and no doubt you will wonder what
became of your kidney trouble and
backache.-Ady.

MADISON
Mass Meeting on Better Water
Supply-Committees to At
tend the Hearing Before
The Public Utilities
UNANIMOUS FEELING FOR
A NEW SUPPLY

Grange Hall was packed Wednes
ing Of representative citizens and vot-
ecs with the unions OF the Great
Northern Paper Mill, to discuss the
situation in regard to better water
supply for this village. The meeting
was organized with Judge c. 0. Small,
chairman and Waldo E. Houghton,
clerk. First came a statement by q
civil engineer. the jist of which was
that it would be advisable for Madi-
son to join with the town Of Arson
in taking water from either Embden
o: Hancock pond. W. F. Scott, who
was member for several years of a
committee appointed by the Madison
Village Corporation to see what could
be done 10 secure a better supply or
for what price the company would
sell, gave an account of his investiga-
tons and was strongly in favor of 4
pure supply. Various phases of the
situation were taken up by Z. W Ad-
ans, Stanley Renter, A. Nj. Holden.
c. NJ. Burr. Andrew Strang, c. A. Will
Der, E NJ. Fletcher and several others.
1t was found that according to the
agreement with the Water Company
there was no stated pressure required
for fire service.
Mr.. Fletcher. the local superinten-
dent for the Water Company. stated
that since he had charge of the plan.
no water had ever been pumped from
the canal but was taken from the in
take above the dam. he also sad
e.
was ready to install a filter, but feel
ing that the citizens would not be
satisfied it was not done.
In the opinion OF some of the ply
sicians present some of the cases IF
typhoid fever were caused by impuri-
ties in the city supply, and in spite
Of the fact that frequent analysis b.
the State chemist failed to show con-
tamination, it was fot for domestic
use.
On motion Of E W. Adams it was
voted 10 elsct a committee Of five
citizens to so before the Public Utili-
ties Commission at the hearing at
Augusta in March. 1t was also the
sense of the meeting that each Of
the four labor unions appoint a SINH
hens committee The citizens com
mittee includes DR.. ". H. Kennison.
Stanley Renter F. A. Gilman, A. NJ.
Holden and E. W. Adams
At the suggestion of S. E. Remic,l
il was voted to have all of the hy-
drafts tested by an expert to see just
what the fire pressure was on each.
Various kinds of filters We're discuss
ed and while in the minds of many
filter would greatly improve the
supply, the proper remedy is to take
the water from a better source than
the Kennebec river.
A supper for the members Of Ster-
ling Rebekah Lodge and their fami-
lies was served Wednesday night In
the |. o, Q. F. banquet hall. The Re
bekah degree was then conferred on
two candidates.

Now is the time to take special care of
the complexion if you wish il to look
well the rest of the year The February
and March winds have strong tendency
to bring out freckles that may stay all

time 10 use othine-doubie strength.
This prescription for the removal OF
freckles was written by a prominent
physician and is usually SO successful
that it is sold by druggists under guar

an ounce Of othine-double strength, and
even few applications should show a

smaller freckles even vanishing entirely.
