port to the house of the congress. will
meet the ready approval Of that body.
What the committee is to propose is
a total appropriation OF $45,O00,000
for levee building between Rock
Island and New Orleans, to be made in
five annual appropriations Of 100000
each. The sum, in total, may seem
large. but as the work, when undertak-
en-, should be done in that thorough
way to make 1t serve It's end, and to
avoid a mere waste of money in cheap
and inefficient construction, 1t cannot
be called excessive. An appropriation
of 100000 each year should carry
along the contemplated work rapidly
enough to bring 1t to completion with
in the five year period The distance
between New Orleans and Rock Island
is great, and in 1t are included many
low-lying points open to mers1on
when waters get out Of their banks
But at very many such points, levees
have been built, partly by states and
municipalities and partly by land
holders organized in levee assocla-
lions. These sources Of revenue can
not furnish the funds needed to build
levees of sufficient height and strength
to resist the floods at all points Gov
ernment aid at the most threatened
points is what is needed and five
years should be ample time in which
to protect all Of them.

mississippi River Levees,

st. Louis Globe Democrat: That
there is strong public opinion in the
country favoring federal aid in levee
building for the prevention of over
flow of lands in the Mississippi river
valley, can no longer be doubted.
Great and destructive floods have
come SO often in late years, and have
been attended with such losses Of life
and property, that the feeling aroused
by these oft-recurring devastations has
ceased to be sectional, if sectional it
ever has been. Twenty-three states
are drained by the Mississippi river
and its larger affluents. These states
have an immediate interest In such
work. but people living on the other
side of the two mountain ranges have
had it impressed upon them, through
the frequency Of such disasters, that
1t is national duty, az much from an
economic as from a humanitarian
point OF view to contribute out of the
public purse enough to MALE durable
and permanent such protection of life
and property as will make impossible
heavy and frequent losses In both.
This condition of the public mind
justifies hope that the action which
the committee on flood control has
decided to recommend In its first re-

QUIT MEAT IF YOUR
KIDNEYS ACT BADLY
Take tablespoonful of Salts If Back

bothers.

We are nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filed with uric acid, says
well-known authority, who warns
us to be constantly on guard against
kidney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood Of this irritating acfd. but
become weak from the overwork: they
get sluggish; the elimfnatwe tissues
: clog and thus the waste is retained
, in the blood to poison the entire sys-
tenn.
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 blad-
der is irritable, obliging you to seek
relief during the night; When you
have severe headaches, nervous and
dizzy spells. sleeplessness, acid stom-
ach or rheumatism in bad weather,
get from your pharma cist about four
ounces of Jad Salts; take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast each morning and in a few
days your kidneys will act fine This
famous salts is made from the acid
OF grapes and lemon Juice, combined
with lithia. and has been used for
generations to flush and stimulate
clogged kidneys, to neutralfze the
acids in urine so 1t Is no longer
source OF irritation thus ending urin-
airy and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure: makes a delightful efferves-
cent lithia-water drink. and nobody
can make a mistake by taking little
occasionally to keep the kidneys clean

Newspaper Advertising.

Alex. Miller, in washington Demo
crat: The man, who in this age of
business activity and keen competi-
ton who says that advertising does
not pay, is wrongly informed. 1t may
be that he hasn't tried it, or II he
has, it was a one-time ad and he ex-
pected 1t to sell all the goods on the
shelf Now the man who makes his
advertising pay is the one who has
system and keeps ever before the
public the fact that he has the goods
"a little bit better grade than any
body else and at a price little lower
than the other fellow
Those who have made success In
any line of business will tell you that
the secret Of their success was hav-
ing the goods and keeping the fact
ever before the public. And the best
medium today is the newspaper. IL
goes where the show window cannot;
where the handful does not. 1t goes
direct to the homes and is read by
the whole family.
AS a publicity promoter in any
line. the newspaper is there with both
feet. 1t spreads the good tidings to
the greatest number of people. Few
If any have any conception of the
number of people the newspaper talks
to each week. 1t tells the story to
all the community at the same time.
In no other manner can one get to
talk to so many as through the news
papers It is the clearing house OF
the community and it's coming is
looked forward to with great expec-
fancy and should subscriber fail
To get his paper. the office is soon
told of the fact.
Without the people knowing that
Won have the goods, how can you
reasonably expect them to come in
and purchase them. That is the OBJ
iect of advertising. 1t tells your story
in YOUR own words and thus in
creases your trade. If your trade is
good. advertising will make it better.
BETTER put on additional clerks and
take care of all of it rather than let
il go to the other fellow. If you are
IN business simply for your health
and the amusement it affords you,
nernaps it would be unnecessary TO
trv to add to it, but if you are in
II for what you can make out OF IT,
why not use every method possible
to increase it, and thus increase the
nrofits that naturally would follow,
SIRE it pays to advertise. DO you
think that the greatest successes In
the business world would put thous-
ands of dollars into advertising If it
didn't pay, Not on your life. They
are not doing it as an act of charity
to help the newspapers. They do it
because it helps their bank account,
and for no other purpose. Get into
the advertising game and make big
eer success of your business this year
than ever before. 1t is the great
business builder, and you cannot af-
ford to pass it up. Others are MAX
ing it pay and why not you
Think this over and see If we are
