In view OF the fact that administrations
will change in many counties during the
coming year and that the greatest prob
lem to be handled will be, as has been

tenance of roads and bridges, it seems
proper at this time for me to bring to the
attention of the new county officials and
remind the old officials of few perth

the office of probate judge or county
commissioner goes into office with full
determination to give the county honest,
active, conscientious service. I will ad-
nit that some woefully fail to live up to
their determinations, but I will on the
contrary insist that vast majority do
remain honest and conscientious and do
the very best they know how. 1.-The very

sufficient qualification to warrant such
construction work being placed in his

Room for Addition of
Queen Quality" Shoe
Department

The addition Of new department and
sweeping changes in the handsome build
ing OF the Hirsch Millinery company on
Nineteenth street. between Second and
Third avenues. have been announced. To
make room for the new queen Quality
shoe department, the Hirsch company
has ordered an extraordinary sale which
will begin Monday.
The decision for expansion by the
I1irsch Millinery company was reached
after some elaboration. The incorpora-
ton of the shoe department will necessi-
tate a pronounced enlargement OF the
floor space and a generous outlay of
money
A nezzanine floor on the main floor and
an enlargement of the French parlor on
the second floor will enable tho Hirsch
company to provide sufficient room for
the new department and also space for
the growth of the millinery department.
On the first floor, a mezzanine nine
feet in breadth will be constructed. BY
virtue of this work, an additional selling
space OF 500 square feet win be provided
for the shoe department.
On the upper floor 1900 square feet will
be acquired by charging the French par
lor. the growing demands of the Mill
merry trade, August Hirsch, the president
of the company, said, were responsible
for this addition.
The construction will involve an ex-
penditure Of over 5000. The fixtures and
furnishings of the new additions will be
in harmony with the present mahogany
fixtures and furnishings. Liberal displays
of mirrors and plate glass will be pro-
vided for the new departments.

The kidneys filter this acid from the

times with scalding sensation and Is
very profuse; again, there Is difficulty
In avoiding it.
Bladder weakness. most folks call 1t,
While it is extremely annoying and
one of the most simple ailments to over
come. Get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from your pharmacist and take a
tablespoonful in glass of water be-

three days. This will neutralize the
acids in the urine so 1t no longer is a
