TAKE SALTS TO FLUSH
KIDNEYS IF BACK HURTS
Says Too Much Meat Forms Uric Acid
Which Clogs the Kidneys and
Irritates the Bladder.

Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels, get sluggish and clog
ged and need a flushing occasionally,
else we have backache and dull misery
in the kidney region, severe head
aches, rheumatic twinges, torpid liver,
acid stomach, sleeplessness and all
sorts Of bladder disorders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney
region, get about four ounces Of Jad
Salts from any good drug store here,
take q tablespoonful in a 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, COM
bined with lithia, and is harmless to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate
them to normal activity 1t also neu-
tralizes the acids in the urine so it
no longer irritates, thus ending blad-
der disorders.
Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which everybody should
take now and then to keep their kid
neys clean. thus avoiding serious COM
plications.
70 A well-known local druggist says he
sells lots of Jad Salts to folks who be-
Iieve in overcoming kidney trouble
while 1t is only trouble.-Adv.

NEGRO KNIFE Artist
GOES TO PEN|TEkT|ARY

w. E. Wilson, colored, who badly
slashed his partner, John McClandon,
also negro, with knife at Richard
ton on January 9Th, signifed his in
tention on Monday to plead guilty to
the charge Of assault with a danger
GUS weapon, and was brought before
Judge w. G. Crawford for sentence
A hearing had not been held before,
because it was not certain whether or
not McClandon would survive his in
juries, as he was pretty badly cut
about the stomach and breast, one rib
being entirely severed. AS his con-
dition took marked change for the
better and as he is now able to sit
up, it was decided by the authorities
to accept Wilson's plea. He was sent
enced to serve 18 months at hard
labor in the state penitentiary and
has already commenced serving his
sentence at the prison.
The two negroes came to an alter
cation over game of pool in a Rich
ardton pool hall, and in the fight that
followed, Wilson pulled his pocket
knife and inflicted several severe
gashes on the body of his adversary.
AS McClandon fell to the floor, Will
son made his escape from the pool
hall and spent that night in coal
mine near the town. The following
day he walked to Hebron, where he
was apprehended upon the advice of
Sheriff Brown of Dickinson.
Both negroes are of the transient
class, having worked during the
threshing season in the Richardton
and Dickinson vicinities. Wilson sub
stituted for the regular porter for a
short time last fall at the Foster
barber shop in this city. McClandon
was also here last summer and went
on drunk. He was arrested and
sentenced to work on the streets for
twenty days. The work did not seem
to agree with him however, as he
managed to elude the vigilance of the
police authorities and skipped out
after working only g few hours.

BISMARCK AND DICKINSON
TEAMS CLASH TONIGHT

The Bismarck and Dickinson
basketball teams clash tonight (Fri-

game will start at 7:30 o'clock, a
half hour earlier than usual. The
spectators will be sure that they
have seen a real game when the final
call Of time is blown. Bismarck is
as strong as ever this year. Their
team is composed of veteran men,
four of them were in last years team,
that played to within one basket of
the state championship. They lost to
Tower City by two points. So far
this year they have decisively beaten
every team that has been matched
against them. The Dickinson team
has nearly as good record for this
year and is going into the game to
win. At all events, it will be some
game.

HAIL INSURANCE RATES
GIVEN A.DEC|DEDssBOOS7

The farmers of southwestern North
Dakota comprising 13 counties, will
be up in arms against the old line
companies when they learn that hal
insurance rates for 1916 have beer
boosted from 8h to 10 per cent or
every $1OO of insurance carried. A
meeting of the general agents was re.
Gently held in New York when it was
agreed to make this advance.
The rates for the states east of the
Missouri river are 6k per cent, the
same as they have been for some
time and for the coming season the
rates in the northwestern portion of
North Dakota, heretofore 7h per
cent are reduced to correspond with
rates in the eastern and central por-
tion.
1t is claimed that at least two
years average is necessary on which
to base a claim for reduction, and the
fact that hail business in the north
western portion of the state for years
past has shown profit is the reason
for the reduction of 1 per cent in that
territory.
Stark county probably showed a
small profit for the companies in 1915,
but the previous years business was
quite disastrous. If 1916 proves a
good year for the companies, re-
duction is promised for 1917. Gen
eral agents of companies who were
in Dickinson the past week, stated
that Bowman, Slope and Golden VAL
ley counties showed a bad record
for 1915, and it was partly due to
the unfavorable hail loss condition in
these counties that caused the adj
vance in rates for 1916 in all the
southwestern territory.
An important change for the COM
ing year is bureau which will make
hail adjustments for all Of the
the companies. In this way it is ex-
pected that a large saving in expense
will be shown and there will not be
a chance for one farmer to get a big
adjustment when in reality he is only
entitled to a small one. Such things
have happened in the past, but the
companies, while willing to pay all
actual losses covered by insurance
dc not propose to make any donations
in the future.
Local agents are not feeling very
good over the advance in rates and
frankly admit that the old line
companies are likely to lose consider.
able business to the state insurance
department the coming season
Mutuals will also get large slice o1
the hail insurance business.
The state rate is 30c per acre FOR i:
maximum of SO. For the past yea
the state paid Is per cent, or Sc pc;
acre for the maximum protection, ant
it is claimed by w. C. Taylor, stat
commissioner of insurance, that whel
more farmers take this insurance th'
state will be able to pay nearly O.
quite the face value of the policy.

.BELF|ELD BOOTLEGGER
SENT TO PEN|TENT|ARY

E. D. Kelley, transient laborer,
was arrested at Beltield on Saturday
last by Constable A. H. Hike on the
charge of bootlegging. At the time
Of his arrest Kelley had two suit
cases in his possession containing 40
pint bottles of whiskey. He also had
one pint or his person, making a total
Of so pints. He was taken to this
city to the county Jail the same day,
and on Monday signifed his intention
Of pleading guilty. He was accord
ingly brought before Judge w. c..
Crawford, and plead guilty to the
charge, although he claimed he had
not sold any of the liquor. He said
he had always been hard working
man and that this was the first time
he had ever been under arrest.
States Attorney Burgeson asked the
lclemency of the court and that a
minimum sentence be imposed, be-
| cause the defendant had plead guilty
and had not occasioned the au-
thorities any particular trouble. AS
al consequence the minimum sentence
| sfs six months in the state peniten-
Tary was given, and the defendant
taken to Bismarck the following day
in company with W. E. Wilson, the
negro, who was sentenced to the
penitentiary for IS months for stab
bing his partner with knife.

COMMERCIAL CLUB STILL
BUSY ON SCHOOL QUESTION

Several spirited discussions marked
Wednesday evenings session of the
Dickinson Commercial Club, the chief
item of debate being the school build
ing question. Everybody seemed in
favor of new school-but where,
when 3nd how seemed to bother quite
q few. 1t is matter, however, which
requires a lot of deep thinking, and
the efforts on the part of the Com
mercial Club to help solve the ques-
tion is a commendable one. One idea
which gained much favor during the
meeting was the changing of this dis
trict from a limited to a special dis
trict. This would allow more mem.
bers on the school board, and give
greater privileges in the control anc
upbuilding of the city schools.

The Dickinson Press is in receipt of
telegram from Congressman P. D.
Norton at Washington, D. c., stating
that the first appropriation of $4,000
for the commencement of work pre-
liminary to the construction of a
federal building in Dickinson, will be
passed today (Friday). 1t is expect
ed that this money will become avail
able at once and that excavation on
the property already purchased by
the government, will commence early
in the spring.
The present plans call for the con-
struction Of building not to exceed
$4,000 in cost. If the people of
Dickinson think they are entitled to
a larger building than can be built
for this amount, now is the time to
take action. There seems to be hard
ly any question but that a larger ap-
preparation could eventually be Sc
cured, but Of course this would entail
considerably more red tape and an
