A. E. StiCkney
EnIaTgeS Business

A. +. Stickney has rented what
was formerly the wareh use of
the Idaho Mercantile company, on
College avenue and is fitting it
up for a garage. He is planning
on putting in a large number of
stalls which he will rent to own
ers of automobiles in which to
store their cars and has already
closed contracts with a number
of car-Owners.
He will use the rear end of the
building to store and display
farm machinery, for which he is
agent and Will fix up the building
next to his blacksmith shop on
Second street, now occupied by
this machinery, for an automO-
bile repair shop. He intends to
lower this building to grade, put
in a concrete floor and side it
with steel. He will then put in
the necessary machinery to make
IA complete up-tO-date automobile
Irepair shop
Mr. Stickney thinks that the
looming summer will not only see
a great many more automobiles
owned here but there will be a
great increase in the number of
loutside cars which will visit the
city. With the roads to Spo-
kane in passable condition he ex-
lpects that numbers of fishing par
ties from Spokane and the Pa
House country Will make trips
here and will need a place in
which to put up their machines
for the night.

Medical Examination
Started in Schools

The board of education held its
regular monthly meeting Monday
evening. Only four members of
the board were present and very
little business of Importance was
transacted. A surprising feature
OF the meeting was the small
number of bills which were pre-
sented to be audited, the total
amount being $294.96, as against
over $4,000 the meeting before.
superintendent Lukens report
ed a slight increase in the enroll
ment Of the schools for the month
The percentage of attendance
during the month was 90. There
was also a slight falling off in
the number of cases of tardiness.
He also reported that a prelim-
mary physical examination of the
pupils of the schools would be
made today by the teachers pre-
paratory to the examination to be
made by the physicians. These
physical tests have been planned
for some time but the physicians
have been too busy to make them.
The examination by the teachers
is for the purpose of elimination
and TO ascertain the cases espec-
tally in need OF medical aid.

BeneWah Club
For Good Roads
MEETING HELD TO BOOST PROJECT
Committee Appointed to Formulate Plan to Secure
Government Aid on Reservation

A meeting of the Benewah club
was held Saturday evening for the
purpose of discussing the road
question on the reservation. A
letter from Congressman Nc
| Cracker in regard to government
aid for roads was read. He
called attention to the bill which
had passed the house appropriat-
ing S25, 100000 to aid in building
and maintaining post roads .Mr.
McCracken also stated that he
did not believe it would be pos
sible to get any other bill through
congress appropriating money
for roads.
Two of the. principal roads on
the reservation, the st. Maries-
Tekoa road and the Tekoa-San-
ders road, are post roads and are
also very much in need of money
and it was thought possible, with
the right kind of work, to get aid
for those roads. 1t was also
thought that some assistance
could be obtained through the In
dian department, as the best of
the land on the reservation is in
Indian allOtments and as the pol
icy of the department is to try
and make farmers of the Indians,
roads are an absolute necessity
1t was decided to attempt to Sc
cure assistance through both of
these channels.
1t was decided to name a COM
mittee to formulate a plan of
action and l.. f. Purvis, c.. w.
Craney and William d. Keeton
were named as such a committee
Meanwhile it is expected that the
members of the club who have
an acquaintance with the MEM
bers of the congressional delega-
ton will take the matter up in
dividually with them by means OF
letters. g as

Dry Town
WITHOUT WATER FOR THREE
Break in Supply Main Put in Last Fall. Old
Main Is Being Utilized

The city was without water for
several days the latter part of last
week and the frs part of this week
caused by a break in the new
water main. The break occurred
Friday and it was Monday after
noon before the city was given
water again. The break was in
the supply main and occurred on
the east bank of the st. Maries
river, where the pipe goes over
the bank down to the bottom Of
the river and was caused by the
joint pulling apart.
As near as we could learn the
joint, which was where the pipe
broke over the bank, was what is
known as a swinging joint, put in
to allow for some necessary play
in the pipe. The line was put
in late last fall and the ground
around the pipe had no oppor-
tunity TO settle and the spring
floods washed out the dirt. The
pressure of the strong current in
the river swung the pipe to one
side pulling the joint apart.
About four feet of new pipe
was put i'm but as soon as the
water was turned on it pulled
apart again. An attempt was
then made TO turn the water on
through the old six inch main,
which is still in position. There
is about eight feet more head at
the intake than formerly and al
though the old pipe had stood
the strain for eight years, the ad q
ditiOnal pressure was too much
for it and it pulled apart. This
happened Saturday evening and
the men worked all day Sunday
and until Monday afternoon be-
fore the old main was i'm cOndi-
ton TO have the water turned on.
There are several theories as
to the cause of the pipe i'm the
new main pulling apart. One is
that the pipe never was put
down To the bottom of the ST.
Maries river and he pressure of
the current had caused it TO sag
and settle. Another is that the
] hiAb tON lil5 lht pipe WutIt IL
passed through the slough back
from the river is soft and allowed
tho pressure of the water to
raise the pipe, which pulled it
apart. Still another theory is
that the pipe has settled on the
further side of an elevation over
which it passes, causing it to
fpull apart.
Probably the trouble will not
be located until the water i'm the
river goes down so the dead
man." to which the pipe is an
chored, can be seen and the condi-
ton of the pipe crossing the river
can be ascertained. 1t vii
probably be couple of month.
before the new main can be pu
in commission again and the ole
six inch main will be used unit
that time.

TAKE A GLASS OF SALTS
WHEN BLADDER R0THERS
Harmless to Flush Kidneys and Neu.
tralize Irritating Acids-Splendid
for the System.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder,
where it often remains to irritate and
inf1ame, causing burning, scalding
sensation, or setting up an irritation
at the neck of the bladder, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night The sufferer is in
constant dread, the water passes
sometimes with a scalding sensation
and is very profuse; again, there is
difficulty in avoiding it.
. Bladder weakness, most folks call
it, because they can't control urina-
ton. While it is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this is
really one Of the most simple ailments
to overcome. Get about four ounces
Of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and
take tablespoonful in a class of
water before breakfast, continue this
for two or three days. This will neu-
tralize the acids in the urine so it no
longer is source of irritation to the
bladder and urinary organs which then
act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and is used by thousands of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caused
by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is
splendid for kidneys and causes no
bad effects whatever.
Here you have pleasant. efferves-
cent Whitewater drink, which quickly
relieves bladder trOuble-Adv.
