MEAT INJURIOUS
TO THE KIDNEYS
Take a Tablespoonful of Salts if Back

We are 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 singing
pains in the back or the urine is

is irritable, obliging you to seek relief
during the. night; when you have Sc
we're headaches, nervous and dizzy
spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or
rheumatism in bad weather, get from
your pharmacist about four ounces of
Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast each
morning and in a 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 been used for generations to flush
and stimulate elogged kidneys, to neu-
tralize the acids in urine so it is no
longer source of irritation, thus end
ing urinary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot

make Q mistake by taking a little oc-
casionally to keep the kidneys clean

BOUNTY MONEY.

The Audubon Society of New Jer-
sey is engaged in fighting legislative
bill that would offer bounty for the
killing of various predatory birds
and animals. The society argues that
such bounties have almost invariably
failed to accomplish their purpose, and
have sometimes even made matters
worse.
1t is dangerous, it seems, to do any
thing that 'disturbs natural balan-
ces. - Thus when hawks and other
predatory birds are exterminated
there IS likely to be a devouring
plague of field mice far worse to bear
than the loss of an occasional chicken
Such laws are also bad, says the so
ciety, because they encourage people
to 90 roaming about the woods with
guns at all seasons, and thus lead tc
indiscriminate killing of game birds
and animals.
! In the granting of the bounties, too
there is opportunity for fraud. II

PRAISE FOR NORWICH.
Record of Vermont Institution Men
toned by Veteran Officer.

General E. W. Nichols, the veteran
superintendent of the Virginia Military
institute, in a recent address delivered
before the National Security League
Congress in Washington, took occasion
to praise highly one of Vermont g old
est institutions. Not only did he take
occasion to praise it, but in his able
paper on the subject of Military Train
ing in Schools, the Vermont institu-
ton was the first one to be mentioned.
The following is an extract from Gen,
Nichols s paper:
The American Scientific and Mill
tary academy, the forerunner of Nor
wieh university which was incorporated
in 1884 was founded by Captain Alden
Partridge, a West Point graduate, in
1919. Its military and academic ac-
tivities have extended, therefore
throughout nearly a century of time
Under Captain Partridge the develop
ment of the system of instruction pc
culiar at that time to the United
States Military academy of which he
was not only a graduate but for many
years a professor and later a superin-
tendent, was continuous and progress
i've. It's patronage was confined in
large measure to the New England sec
ton; and yet its graduates became in
time widely scattered and served as
pioneers IN the development of founda-
tons similar to that of their alma ma
ter.
In our various wars the record of
Norwich university men and through
them the record of the institution that
fostered and trained them has been
most praiseworthy.

Comparisons.
(Rutland Herald. J


Comparisons between the local option
vote of 1903 and the vote in Vermont last
week are somewhat interesting especially
when one remembers the vivid campaign
which preceded the submission of the orig
inal referendum act
Not only was the election of 1902 so
close that Gen Mccullough was finally
elected by the legislature, but the legisla-
tive committee, which had in charge the
original local-option-hig measure,
was divided Ii to Il on reporting out the
bull, scant margin of one vote bringing it
before the assembly under a favorable re-
port.
AT the referendum, The Herald"s re-
turns showed a substantial majority of
LOO votes, reduced later to about / 100
but the official returns, on account of the
failure OF several towns to certify their
vote, cut the actual majority for local op-
ton down to 729
With this narrow margin, the original
local option law went into effect in March.

and 1t was reduced from year to year. so
THAT 1919 stands as the record year with
only II towns in which liquor was actually
sold by law.

as the transfer of the power to name
