SALTS If KIDNEYS
OR BLADDER BOTHER
Harmless to Hush Kidneys and nsu-
tralize irritating aoids-
Splendid for system.

Kidney and Bladder weakness re-
suit from uric acid, says a noted au-
thority. The kidneys filter this acid
from the blood and pass 1t on to the
bladder, where 1t often remains to ir-
ritate and infiame, causing q burning,
scalding sensation, or setting up an
obliging you to seek relief two or three
times during the night. The sufferer is
in constant dread, the water passes
and is very profuse; again, there Is
difficulty in avoiding II.
Bladder weakness, most folks call 1t,
because they can't control urination.
While it is extremely annoying 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
take tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast, continue this
for two or three days. This will neu-
tralize the acids in the urine so it no
longer is a source of irritation to the
bladder and urinary organs which then
act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with Hthia,
and is used by thousands of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caused
by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is
splendid for kidneys and causes no bad
effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, efferyes-
cent Whitewater drink, which quickly
relieves bladder trouble.

COLCHESTER MEMS SUGGESTION
Led State of Connecticut to First Steps
TO Care For the Insane.

''The Care of the Insane. Past and
Present" was the subject of an
interesting address given Monday ev-
ening by DR.. G. Floyd Haviland. SUI
pertendent of the Connecticut Hospi-
tai for the Insane, before the Tween
tieth Century club at its annual meet
ing in Middletown. The speaker said
in part:
lone of the earliest movements
looking to the care of the insane in
an entire state was inaugurated in
the state of Connecticut in 1912. 1t
appears DR.. Nathaniel Dwight of Col
chester addressed a letter to the Con-
necticut State Medical society upon
the subject of a hospital for the in
sane. in consequence of which a COM
mittee was appointed to collect infor-
nation regarding the number of in
sane in the state. In 1913 the com
mittec was continued, but there is no
record of a report being made. In
1914 the society appointed a single
member to obtain the desired infor-
soc!ation of Congressional Ministers.
The data secured must have been in
accurate, as only 146 insane were re-
ported.
Brought Up In 1921.
Nothing further seems to have
been done until at the meeting of the
state medical society in 1921 DR.. Eli
the insane and told of the great diff
ficulty he encountered in attempting
to treat them in their homes or pri-
vate dwellings. A committee was
again appointed who finally recon-
mended the erection of an institution
for the exclusive care of the insane.
This was approved and referred to
another committee for further elabor-
alton and during the year 1921 it
was determined there were at least
one thousand insane persons in the
state.
Application Made.
-"At an adjourned meeting of the
state medical society later in the
year, 1921, it was voted to appoint
agents to collect subscriptions for
the proposed institution and an appro-
priatiOn Of 5000 was made from the So
ciety's funds such being the first
money to be devoted to the public
care of the insane in this state.
THE matter was kept before the
public through the efforts of the medi-
cal society and as a result a hospital
was incorporated, and appropriation
granted, and eventually what is now
known as the Hartford Retreat was
patients April l, 1924.
The General Hospital.
Finally in 1866 the assembly adopt
ed an act creating a hospital for the
insane of Connecticut and during the
same year the erection of our local
hospital was begun, it then being
known as The General Hospital for
the Insane of the State of Connecticut.
1t was opened April 80, 1868, but during
the first year of it's existence the av-
erage number of patients was but IS,
while at the end of five years, the av-
erage census was but 264. which, of
course, meant many insane were still

Rhode Island Reds Take Honors Away
From Black RhineIanders,

made by A. A. Schwartzs pen of
Black Rhinelanders from Burlingame,
Cal, has now been LSoken by a New
Hampshire pen of Rhode Island Reds
owned by A. w. Rumery of Danville
This pen was an easy first for the

G. Knights pen of White Wyandottes
from Bridgeton, R. l.. were second with
49 eggs. Tom Barron's pen of the
same breed from Catforth, England,
were third with 46 eggs. Two pens
of Rhode Island Reds owned by Chas
Q. Folhemus. Newburg, n. y, and
Fatherland Farm, Byfield, Mass, tied
with Al eggs each.
There were total of twenty-eight
pens including Barred and White
Rocks, White and Silver Wyandottes.
Rhode Island Reds. White Leghorns,
Notified AEconas, and Oregons that
made a 80 per cent. yield or better
during the fifteenth week All the
pens taken together laid 1920 eggs, a
little less than for the preceding week
but an even 400 eggs better than for
the corresponding week last year. Thus
the hens are steadfastIy increasing

Inasmuch as the mating season is
now at hand every reader who believes
breeding will undoubtedly be interested
in the following paragraph taken from
the January report Of the National
Laying Contest at Mountain Grove,

The best hen on any farm is the hen
which lays during the winter season
and she is usually the first hen to go
broody in the spring. About the time
the winter layer goes broody the nom
winter layer begins to produce. Setting
the FIRST hen IN hrnndU fn he
spring on eggs from the flock usually
means that the good winter layer is
set on the non-winter layers eggs and
as a result the good winter layer
spends three weeks incubating the eggs
and perhaps six weeks brooding the
chicks. The final result is that the
good hen has spent about nine weeks
raising and brooding the chicks from
the poor hens eggs while none of her
own eggs have been used for incuba-
ton.

principal breeds are as follows:
