QUIT MEAT If KIDNEYS
BOTHER AND USE SALTS
Take Glass Of Salts Before Break
fast If Your Back Is Hurting or
Bladder Is lrritated.

II you must have your meat every
day, eat it, but flush your kidneys with
salts occasionally, says noted author
ity who tells US that meat forms uric
acid which almost paralyzes the kid
neys in their efforts to expel it from
the blood. They become sluggish and
weaken, then you suffer with a duh
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 OF
the bodys urinous waste get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here; take tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will then
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acids of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
neutralize the acids in urine, SO it no
longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.

OUR NATIONAL DISEASE
Caused by Coffee.

Physicians know that drugs win moi
correct the evils caused by coffee ana
that the only remedy is to stop drink
ing it.
An Arkansas doctor says:
Il was coffee drinker for many
years and often thought that I could
not do without it, but after years OF
suffering with our national maIady,
dyspepsia. / attributed it to the drink
ing of coffee. and after some thought
determined to use Postum for my
morning drink.
I had the Postum made carefully
according to directions on the pkg. and
found 1t just suited my taste.

but l found myself getting so much
better, that had it at all meals. and

and sixteen hours later released only
to heat the woman worse. Local
Strasburg people had then sent q
letter to the attorney general asking
that the town be cleaned up. Other
complaints from Braddock. Hazelton
and Linton were also coming in.
The up.shot Of it all Is that MIR.
| Watkins arrived with direct author
ity from the Office of the attorney
general to get at the heart Of the
whole matter. 1t appears that he is
about to do so.
The Record can say that there will
be no let-up and that there will be
prosecutions to the full extent of
the law. Either the states at.
torney will do it or he'll make way
for some one who will. The Record
prophesied this very condition Of af-
fairs last fall when the booze gang
got so chesty and the blind critters
were thicker in the county than bees
around honey.
So far as the Record is concerned
in this cleanup campaign It is
I, purely in line with what we have ad-
vocated. And so far as the Record
is concerned. it will do all in its
power to back up this undertak-
ing providing that none are let
off and that the men higher up"
are made to dance to the same tune
as the cheapest blind.pigger. That
is what the people of this county
want and that is what they are go
ing to get. That is precisely what
we wanted when we advocated the
candidacy of Chas. Coventry last fall
and the people Of the county knew
they would get it il he won. Now.
it appears that they are going to
have the results any way.
Emmons county ia one of the last
counties in the state to feel the ef-
fects of the law on liquor-seliing.
Morton had been nest of booze
vendors. Other counties in the
state were bad. 1t will be remem-
bered that city officials Of Hankin-
son were removed by the governor
for allowing infractions Of the liquor
laws.
There is one thing that it will be
well for the public to remember:
Some Of the penalties for perjury
are as bad as the penalties for blind
pigging. Already cases have been
prosecuted in this state and convic-
tions secured which sent the victims
up for penitentiary terms. One
man was sentenced for ten years.
/ And the men who have fondly be-
llieved that 30 long as they had the
right states attorney they were safe
are due to an awakening. And the
states attorney who believed that
he could close his eyes and let things
run wild had best get a move on

Briggs who will 60 over the route

However. it is desired that all who

was clearly a case of everybody
drinking more than enough and
sometime. somehow. the complain.
ing witness. Bidwell, lost SIG or
more, which amount he had in his
pocket before the spree. The states
case was none too strong, but the
I; evidence tended to show that q
crime was committed rs set forth in
the complaint.
Justice Pierce found the evidence
sufficient to warrant binding both
the defendants over to the next
term of court on charge Of rob-
berry, and bond was fixed in the sum
of $500 in each instance. Chris
topher furnished bond but Grey is
being held in the county Jail, being
unable to furnish the required bond.
Bidwell, the complaining witness,
when questioned concerning the af-
fair, admitted to the states. attorney
that he knew nothing after he had
done away with four bottles Of beer
on the morning of the alleged rob-
berry and after he had shot the
dice" He admitted that he was
lust the same as dead for five or
six hours" that morning and he did
not even know that he had been
taken out for an automobile ride.
He was certain, however, that he
had $40 bill, SIS bill, 81 bill and
some silver in his pocket that morn
ing. He identified as his property
a bill book and memorandum book
found in Christopher's possession by
the officers
| Both defendants took the stand
in their own behalf. They employed
no counsel and conducted their case
themselves. The stories of both
men agreed in practically every de-
tail. They said that after drinking
with BidwelI and gambling with
him that he wanted to take "joy
,ride" and they went out toward the
penitentiary in Christopher's car.
They were stuck in mudhole. they
said, and Grey and Bidwell got out
and pushed on the car while Chris
topher remained at the wheel. A
team finally pulled them out Of the
mudhole. but not before Bidwell
fell down against one Of the wheels
of the car and injured his face.
| Then some dispute took place as to
the payment of Bidwell's fare, they
say, and it was then that 1idwell
fell. out of the car. They left him
lying in the road. drunk. they said
and put the car up and went to
sleep.
Christopher stated that he had
been paid So by Bidwell for taking
him out around the -penitentiary
and back to the city and he wanted
to collect 50 more for the trip. The
dispute, he says. was over the pay.
ment Of the additional 81 fare.

ably be brought to trial before
