The American men and women must guard constantly against kidney trouble, because we eat too much and all our food is rich. Our blood is filled with uric acid which the kidneys strive to filter out, they weaken from overwork, become sluggish; the elimv~ inative tissues clog and the result is kidney trouble, bladder weakness and a general decline in health.
 When your kidneys feel like Jumps of lead; your back hurts or the urine Is cloudy full of sediment or you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night; if you suffer with sick headache or dizzy, nervous spells acid stomach, or you have rheumatism when the weather is bad, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts; take table spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine This fa- nous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com bined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys; to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending blad- der disorders.

Mother Praises Remedy
 That Relieved Her Baby
Dr. Caldwelps Syrup Pepsin Is a Dependable Family
 Laxative.

Nearly all the sickness incident to a baby's life is due to constipation or fnact1on of the bowels. At the first in dfcation of irregularity in this import ant function, relief should be afforded promptly. A mild laxative should be administered to gently carry off the Scongested waste and leave the sto- mach and bowels free to perform their lal1otted tasks.
 l Of the various remedies recom- 5mended to relieve constipation, the 2com bination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin, as prescribed by Dr. w. BB. Caldwell and sold in drug stores under the name of Dr. Caldwells S ISyrup Pepsin, is the most effective. It fcontains no opiate or narcotic drug, sfs pleasant to the taste, mild and gentle in action, and quickly brings Zthe desired relief in an easy, natural manner.
 Mrs. c. J. Douglas, Mason, H., writes that she cannot say enough in 7praise of Dr. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin las a dependable family laxative. Little
 Mary Eva had been badly constipated until they tried Dr.. Caldwell's Syrup &Pepsin which brought the first nat .ural relief the child had had in two weeks.

POND NOW PROBABLE.
Temporary Dam Will Be Built to
 Make Skating Possible

City Engineer Hall has devised a plan that will make a temporary dam at the new Stanley park possible this winter, thus assuring an ideal skating pond for the lovers of this winter sport.
 According to the engineers plan, a number of steel billings of the inter- locking. type, formerly used at the Whigville dam by the water depart ment, will be brought to this city and used in the. construction of a tenn porary core dam. The only expense to the city will be the cost of bringing the piles here and having them driven. It is also said that at any future time when a permanent and more elaborate dam is built it will not be necessary to remove these piles.

Alligator Escapes
From the City Zoo;
SOupHOundS Called
lPOLlCE GET e DESCRIPTION, AND
EVERYBODY JOINS IN THE
HUNT FOR SAURlAN.

Every souphOund at the command
of the Hattiesburg police department,
as well as those owned by individuals
who have donated them, have been
put on the trail of the alligator which
escaped from it's little lake in the
City Zoo, near the pumping station,
some time during Wednesday nights
storm AS yet no traces of the ami
NAL have been found. Whether it fol-
lowed the stream of water pouring
down Forrest street and emptying into
Gordon Creek, square or two away,
or whether it is still in hiding about
the City Hall, is not known.
The alligator is a long one, a. least
four feet in length, and has no dis
tinguishing marks. Burke Jones, SUI
perintendent of the zoo, called OH po-
lice headquarters today for assistance
in helping him locate it. They asked
for description of it, and when he
got through, it seems that this alliga-
tor is no different from any other. So
the police, for time. were UP IN The
air. They didn't want to go around
arresting alligators promiscuously Tor
fear they might get hold of the
wrong one, and trouble would follow
But Jones explained that so far as
he knew. his was the only al.igato or
missing around here recently, and he
said that he felt sure that the p,lice
would make no mistake if they cap
tured the first 4-foot alligator that had
guilty look, which they might happen
TO run across.
| Then Chief Bennett sent out Lis
lsouphounds which they keep over al
the City Hall for just such purposes
and asked all other owners of such
,canines to bring them down and put
them on the trail of the runaway.
