For a long time I suffered from indfges- ton, headaches, dizziness, shortness of breath, and tired, rundown feeling. I would get a tickling feeling in my throat which would almost smother me. Many of my friends were taking I.ax-a-Tone and getting fine results, so I tried it. The immediate change was wonderful. All the pains disappeared. My sleep was sound and now I feel fine.

QUIT MEAT WHEN | BACK HURTS OR
 KIDNEYS BOTHER
Says Uric Acid in meat clogs
 Kidneys and irritates , Bladder.
A Glass of Salts is Harmless way to flush Kidneys, says
 authority.

If you must have your meat every day, eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts occasionally, says 8 noted authority who tells us that meat forms uric acid which almost paralyzes the kidneys in their efforts to expei it from the blood. They become sluggish and weaken, then you suffer with a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains In the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather Is bad you have rheumatic tw1nges. The urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the channels often get sore and irritated, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night
 To neutralize these irritating acids, to cleanse the kidneys and flush off the body's urinous waste get four ounces of lad Salts from any phar- macy here; take a tablespoonful in glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then 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 sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine, so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder weakness.
 lad Salts is inexpensive; cannot fn- jure, and makes a delightful efferves- cent lithia-Water drink.

ALCORN SPEAKER;
 THIRD WARD RALLY
Lauds Repubicanism, Criticises Administration Eats

1 Dutch suppers and ward rallies 1 have been a thing of nightly occur l renee for some time and last night the 1 Third Ward Republican club came 1 into the limelight with their supper and rally at Bardeck's. President George T. Kimball presided and urged all to vote the republican ticket next Tuesday so they can look back on Il 916 and recall the licking they 1 handed the democrats. The speakers were: State Treasurer F. $. Cham berlain, Senator G. w. Klett, Elijah
 Rogers of Southington, candidate for senator in the fifth district and States Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn.
 Mr. Chamberlain told of the state S finances and what has been done dur ing recent years to reduce the state debt and establish a sinking fund. He also spoke a word for the local can didates and urged support for them in Tuesdays election.
 States Attorney Alcorn, the chief speaker of the evening, received an ovation when he was introduced by Chairman Kimba1l. MT. A1corn told his audience that he is republican because that party stands for Ameri- can rights and American business and
 
 principles as main issues.
 Tracing the history of the party, MT. Alcorn harked back to Buchan- ans time when as the result of the weakness and vacillation of that ad- ministration the republican party was born and Abraham Lincoln elected president. Since then whenever na- tiona1 affairs have reached a critical period the republicans have always come to the rescue, as in 1896 over the free silver issue when William J. Bryan came out of the West with his theory. Turning to the present day crisis the states attorney criticised the Wilson administration with par ticular reference to the Mexican ques- ton.
 At Skritulsky's Broad street hall the republicans held another rally last evening, the chief speakers being Michael A. Fitzgerald of Brooklyn, who is giving a series of noontime speeches at the local factories.

"As between MT. Hughes and Mir. Wilson, who can doubt which is the man who will with austere courage stand for national duty?

MT. Wilson's words have contradicted one another; and all his words have been contradicted by his acts.

 We have against him in Mir. Hughes a man whose public life is a guarantee that whatever he says he will make good and that all his words will be borne out by his deeds.
