A GLASS OF SALTS WILL
END KlDNEY-BACKACHE
Says Drugs Excite Kidneys and REQ
ommsnds Only Salts, Particularly
" Bladder 8others You.

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with
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 q mild, harmless salts which re-
moves 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 1t 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 pharma-
cist about four ounces OF Jad Salts;
take q tablespoonful In glass of
water before breakfast each morning
for q few days and your kidneys will
act flne. This famous salts is. made
from the acid Of grapes and lemon
Juice, combined with hthia, and has
been used for generations to clean and
stimulate clogged kidneys; also to
neutralize the acids in urine SO It no
longer is a source Of irritation, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is Inexpensive; cannot In
iure; makes a delightful effervescent
Whitewater 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.-Adv.

story and how he had sought counsel
and direction from his pastor. 1t was
the sort Of statement that had more
direct appeal than polished oratory.
Some men who were bent on strik-
ing hesitated. and then decided not to
go out. On the day the great strike
started, more men remained on duty
in the mill over which Dillon had
charge than in any other part OF the
mammoth Homestead plant.
The strike was one of the fiercest In
the history OF America. The compare
lively few men who remained at work
were shot ut, stoned and beaten.
There was murder and riot day after
day. At various times some of the
men who had been Influenced by Dill
lon wavered. No one did more than
the clergyman to hold them in line.
As he counseled Dillon, he counseled
them. To surrender to force was un-
manly. he declared.
or all the Homestead establishment,
the only mill that kept going through
out the strike was that small one over
which Dillon had charge. The force
was inadequate. but it kept the fires
going and it kept turning out material.
Dillon worked night and day. resting
only when he was exhausted. He came
of fighting stock and several times
when he. .and his men were attacked
he had to battle for his life. He gave
as good as he received. Once he mar
rowly escaped death and was rescued
from n mob unconscious.
After martial law was invoked the
danger was lessened. but the strug-
gle. was long drawn out and the VIC
tory of the Carnegie company was
dearly won. for II left feuds and bit
terness that lasted for years.
Rewarded BY the Company.
In all that strike no man did more
for the Carnegie company than Patrick
Dillon. The fact that he kept'h his mill
going had a powerful effect. Had the
strikers succeeded in closing down
that solitary mill, some OF the leaders
think to this day, they would have
triumphed.
When the strike ended, Dillon was a
wreck. His body was covered with
scars from the wounds he had received
in the battles with the strikers and his
strength was sapped by the long strain
to WHICH he had been subjected. May.
be the Carnegie people thought his
life would be none too safe until some
of the passion the strike had engen'

Extraordinary Rise in Life Of Pat

In the various lists of Pittsburgh
millionaires no one ever has included
tho name Of Patrick H Dillon, yet 1t
belongs there. No list would be com
plete without it. He's one of the
princes made by steel Just Us surely
as :. Carnegie or Schwab or Cory or
Peacock, and his rise has been more
remarkable. He probably is the only
millionaire in America today who rose
from gravedigger.
1t was IA a cemetery near Pittsburgh
in which Paddy Dillon labored. He
probably would have stuck to grave
digging for the rest Of his days but
for Mrs. Henry Phipps. Dillon had to
look after the grave of one OF her
friends and he sodded the mound SO
well and was SO kindly and willing
to do anything she desired that she
became interested in the humble work
er. She asked him one day how much
he was paid. The amount was small.
She thought he might earn more In
the Carnegie mills at Homestead and
she spoke to her husband. 1t was not
long before Dillon left the graveyard
and went to hauling ore to the mill.
Hauling. ore was distinct advance
In the social scale for Dillon and he
wao deeply grateful to the woman and
the man who had been responsible for
1t. He worked so hard and earnestly
that he earned promotion. One day
he was made foreman of the ore haul
ers. His new job embarrassed him

All who are connected with our es-
Enlistment, from the Office boy to
the president of the corporation, are
delighted that this honor should have
been conferred during their term of
service. If, however. our pride and
pleasure were the chief thoughts of
this comment. we should expect to be

for the conceit evidenced in thus re-
ferring to the incident. The truth
of the matter is that any journal Is
the product of the locality from which
1t Is issued and its degree of excel
lence is in proportion to the thrift,
energy and culture of the people in
its field of operation. We know our
workmen are skillful. enthusiastic and
loyal to an unusual degree; We be-
in number, scattered all over the
county, are the brightest force of
news writer's ever got together for a
similar purpose; we are willing to
credit something to alert guidance,
but all this would avail very little if
we were not located in the midst of
a population worthy to produce and
willing to appreciate paper fit to be
included in this list of fifty-two best
weeklies. The University of Oregon
has complimented, by this decision,
the people OF Somerset County, and it
Is delight enough for this paper to

There is very pretty sentiment in
this occurrence which connects this
great Pacific Coast commonwealth
with Maine, and especially our por-
tion Of the Kennebec Valley with the
State University of our far distant

are doing in this part of the world
and the pleasant result of their in
vestigation, ought to give us new
respect for the people and the COM
munities among which our lot is cast.
