e. J. Herman, assistant director
general of the National Highway asso'
citation. was in the city today in the
interests of the naturalization Of the
National road. Mr.. Herman is furth'
ering the movement by advocating the
placing of sign posts along the old
highway indicating permanently the
direction of the old trail.
Through the efforts of the National
Highway association the Old Trails
Road association and the Automobile
club of Southern California, every mile
of this great highway from San Fran
cisco to Kansas City hes been sign
posted. Each post is ten fest high
after erection.
1t is hoped that before the summer
is over every mile of road between the
Pacific coast and Washington, to-
gether with the main connecting road
feeders will be marked. This great
work, however, can be attained only
through the cooperation and interest
of civic organizations and of individ
ual enthusiasts.
Richmond will be visited in short
time by A. L. Wetsbard, pioneer
among national tourists. who with a
party will leave New York City and
travel across the National road to the
exposition at San Francisco. The
proper marking of the old highway
will do much to arouse the enthusiasm
necessary to enlist federal aid in the
construction of the road.

QUIT MEAT IF YOUR

Take tablespoonful Of Salts IL Back
hurts or Bladder brothers-Drink
lots Of water.

We are a nation Of meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid, says
a well-known authority, who warns US
to be constantly on guard against kid
ney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood Of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork; they
get sluggish; the eliminative tissues
clog and thus the waste is retained in
the blood to poison the entire system
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps of lead, and you have sting
ing pains in the back or the urine IS
cloudy, full Of sediment, or the bladder
is irritable, obliging you to seek relief
during the night; when you have
severe headaches. nervous and dizzy
spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or
rheumatism in bad weather, get from
your pharmacist about four ounces Of
glass of water before breakfast each
morning and in few days your kid
neys will act fine. This famous salts
is made from the acid Of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
has b,en used for generations to flush
and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neu-
tralize the acids in urine so it is no
longer a source of irritation, thus end
ing urinary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts ia inexpensive and cannot
iniure; makes a delightful efferves-
cent Whitewater drink, and nobody
can make q mistake by taking little
occasionally to keep the kidneys clean
and active.

Bilious Attacks.

When you have bilious attack your
liver fails to perform its functions.
You become constipated. The food
you eat ferments in your stomach in
stead Of digesting. This inflames the
stomach and causes nausea, vomiting
and a terrible headache. Take Cham.
berlain's Tablets. They will tone up
your liver, clean out your stomach
and you will soon be as we'll as ever
They only cost a quarter. Obtainable

Gen. Botha Opposed by Nationalist,
Who Objected to Operations
Against Germans.

CAPETOWN, South Africa. via Lon
don. October IA lively campaign for
the election of members of the house
of assembly of the Union of South
Africa is being waged throughout the
country. The chief fight iss between the
followers of the premier, Gen. Louis
Botha. and the nationalists. the ma
tionalists having opposed the opera
tons against German Southwest Africa
and being against the dispatch of
contingent of the Union forces to
Europe.
Many Of the political meetings de-
generate into free fights. and Gen.
Botha. who is speaking in districts
where his policy is strongly opposed, is
by mounted burghers.
The nationalists have candidates in
every constituency where they have
the slightest chance of winning, while
the unionists. who support Gen. Botha,
and many independents have with
drawn from the race in order to make
It straight contest between the two
parties.
Throughout the rand it is contest
between the unionists and the labor
ties. both of whom support Gen.
Botha's war policy. but are divided on
Internal questions. There are few I'M

Would Meet Foreign Competition.

Further. Mr.. McAdoo suggested that
the shipping board should have au-
thority. acting in conjunction with the
interstate commerce commission, to
arrange for through bills of lading by
rail and steam lines to foreign ports
and for special through rates to for
eign ports SO American railroads and
steamships mignt meet foreign COMP
tition in the markets of the world. He
declared the time had come for Cou-
gress to consider regulation of mer-
chant marine companies. He did not
say that such regulatory powers
should be given to the shipping board,
but argued that the recent withdrawal
from the oriental trade of the ships of
the Pacific Mail Company. which he
criticised, would have been prevented
II Congress had passed the ship bill at
the last session. The shipping board,
in that case, he said. would have
brought the Pacific Nails ships and
kept them In the oriental trade.
Secretary McAdoo laid particular
emphasis on the need of naval auxili-
aries in plans for preparedness for de-
tense.
the most indispensable factor in
any sensible plan of national defense"
he said, rs powerful navy-both Of
and acknowledgements
with essential naval auxiliaries in the
form OF an American merchant marine
and manned by American seamen who
are ready and willing to fight for the
Stars and Stripes against any enemy
on the face of the earth. We cannot
with. safety rely upon our ability to
charter or. purchase suitable naval !
auxiliaries when a crisis appears. The !
very essence of preparedness for the |
navy is to have these vessels of suit
able types and construction where we |
ran put our hands on them quickly /
Our neglect to provide in the past
Inc necessary naval auxiliaries gives !
US, however. one great advantage. BY |
building them now we can develop a !
type that will be better than anything |
the world has yet produced. Our one !
and indispensable need is ships-mer-
chant ships of American registry. We
can get them by creating the neces-
sary naval aux liafies.

THE terrible events of the past year
In Europe. and the acute situations
which have arisen in our foreign re-
lations, have brought forcibly to the
front the necessity for greater naval
and military preparedness than our
people have heretofore believed to be
necessary for the national safety. Our
splendid isolation. upon which we have
relied so much in the past our chief
protection. has been neutraNzed in
great measure by. the developments of
modern science. We have been forced
to consider the new measures which
are essential TO put the country upon
basis of greater security.
We must not approach this subject
in hysterical fashion: we must not take
counsel of fear, but counsel of pru-
dence, reason and intelligence. We
are SO fortunately placed that we do
as that term is commonly understood.
Our geographical position makes IL un-
Necessary for to maintain such
formidable military establishments as
those OF the great powers of Europe"
american business, Secretary McAdoo
SAID, paid dearly for the failure of the
ship bill at the last session of Congress-
Increased freight rates to shippers In
the last year, he said. have exceeded
several times the s4o.o0o,o00 which the
shipping bill authorized the govern
rnent to expend on merchant vessels"
Losses, he said. have been incurred also
because of the fact that producers have
been unable to ship their product at

Our antagonists have offered moth

roundly denounced the plan proposed
at the last session oof Cngress but
have never offered a practical sugges-
tion as a substitute"
