TWO virginia farmers recently made
comments on road improvements that
are worth considering. The first man
mad bought his place but a few wears
ago, and had selected IL because of
the character of the people I'm the vi
entity as we'll as the actual value of the
land. He said his experience during
ms rather brief stay on his farm
showed that n man who bought land
IN that section had to work il both
lh'eiiiGentiy and economically in or
dor TO make ii pay, for the first cost
per acre was higher than that of equal
~ Eood land in some other sections
without its social attractions The
second man complained about the slow
ness with which good land was being
taken UP IN some sections, owing to
the roads being so had that the class
OF people needed to develop the coun-
try preferred to pay much more money
Tor no better land where they could
IN e more happily. In other words the
TACK or FAIRLY good roads in some sec
tons was keeping down the market
value or property there below its PRO
per level and even tending with tho
suitable travelling facilities i'm other
sections. to raise the value Of land in
tho latter. The property owners i'm tho
first district, by allowing their roads
10 remain very poor. were not only
dcpreciatinE their own estates but in
creasinE by contrast the value OF those
OF the owners OF land along well main
tanned roads. This is hardly considered
GOOD business policy by shrewd per-
sons.

for the dissolution of That Quartet"
is that the salary demand of the men,

prohibitive by vaudeville managers ex-
cept In few of the larger cities of
America. The return of Jones and Syl-

delight.
a second pretentious number on the
same bill is Beatrice Morrellc's Musical

LESS MEAT If BACK
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Take glass of Salts to flush Kidneys
if Bladder bothers you-Drink
lots of water.

Eating meat regularly eventually pro-
duces kidney trouble in some form or
other, says a well-known authority, be-
cause the uric acid in meat excites the
kidneys, they become overworked; get
sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of
distress, particularly backache and mis-
cry in the kidney region; rheumatic twin
ges. severe headaches, acid stomach, CON
stipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness,
bladder and urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take a tablespoonful in a glass Of water
before breakfast for q few days and your
kidneys VIII 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 clogged kidneys and stimulate them
to normal activity; also to neutralize the
acids in the urine so it no longer irri-
tateG, thus ending bladder disorders
Jad salts cannot injure anyone;
makes delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which millions Of nen and
women take now and then to keep the
hidneys ana urinary organs clean, thus
avoiding serious kidney disease.
