 WHEN BLADDER B0THERS
Harmless to Flush Kidneys and Neu- tralize Irritating Acids-SpIendid
 for the System.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result from uric acid, says a noted authority. The kidneys filter his acid from the blood and pass it on to the bladder, where 1t often remains to irritate and infiame, causing a 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 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- tion. While 1t is extremely annoying and sometimes very painful. this is really one of the most simple ailments to overcome Get about four ounces of lad Salts from your pharmacist and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast, continue this for two OF three days. This will neu- tralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation to the bladder and urinary organs which then act normally again.
 lad 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. lad Salts is splendid for kidneys and causes no bad effects whatever.
 Here you have a pleasant, efferves- cent Whitewater drink. which quickly relieves bladder trouble.-Adv.

GIVES WARNING OF DANGER
Safety Device That 1t Is Said Has Been Tried Out With Satisfac-
 tory Results.

A device that gives warning and rope is about to break is now being used in a number of Idaho mines, says the Illustrated World. If continued use proves it to be satisfactory the de- vice is expected to find a place as part of the safety equipment on all belt or rope-driven machinery.
 The device is able to detect acci- dents before they occur because of the fact that the breaking cable always starts first with parts of a worn strand, and in the case of belt with parting of the lacing. The device de tects the loose strand or facing by means of a delicate feeler rod of thin wire supported from a pivoted bar in
 such a way that only narrow space intervenes between the feeler rod or wire and the whirring rope or belt drive. As the strand or facing unrav, els it hits the feeler wire, and the wire tits the delicately balanced bar upon which it is supported Fitting the bar starts the safety mechanism.
 This bar has at it's end a hook which normally is engaged with notch in a cam roller, and when the bar tits the hook is withdrawn from the cam roller. The roller is equipped with weight suspended from it by cord. When the roller is released the cord unwinds and the weight drops into glass cage, where it is caught and falls between two metal bands ar ranged in a V=relation. but having their ends spaced little apart These bands are the terminals of an electric circuit and the weight. when it is caught. completes the circuit A warn ing bell operated by the electric cir cult iS runP

PULITZER'S OPINION OF
HUGHES.

The New York World, most rabid
of Hughes haters, is much perturbed
because Republican papers are quoting
from the will of its former owner, the
late Joseph Pulitzer, naming Hughes
as one of the executors of his estate.
The World says that Pulitzer may
have considered Hughes a good man
for executor of his estate, but that
does not indicate an opinion that he
would make good president. Now
comes the disclosure that Pulitzer not
only wanted Hughes to serve as an
executor, without bonds, in managing
an estate that included the World
property, but also predicted that he
would some day be President. And
Pulitzer was far wiser man than the
present managers of the World.

A REAL AND A SHAM EIGHT
HOUR LAW.

From minneapolis Tribune" Oct. Il
The care with which the Democratic
spellbinders and the Democratic news.
paper organs avoid further discussion
of the Adamson bill is not without
significance. Indeed, it amounts to q
practical confession that the measure
is indefensible.
That the Adamson law follows pre-
cedent in the matter Of regulating
hours of labor is strikingly refuted by
comparison of the regulations on the
Panama railroad operated by the gov
eminent with those on railroads in the
United States to be operated after
January l according to the Adamson
law. Here are the regulations in two
cases:
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1916-10-20
On U: S. Railroads.

Beginning January 1, 1917, eight
hours shall in contracts for labor and
service be deemed days work for the
purpose of reckoning the compensa-
ton for service of all employees
engaged in any capacity in the opera
ton of trains For all necessary
time in excess of eight hours, such
employees shall be paid at rate of
not less than the pro-rata rate. y
Verbatim provision Of the Adamson
law.
The order relating to the Panama
Railroad, it will be observed, is a
specific and definite regulation of
hours and labor. That is a real eight
hour law. The Adamson bill, how
ever, adopts the eight-hour period for
what purpose? Not for the purpose
Of prohibiting labor beyond that
length of time, but "for the purpose
of reckoning the compensation. -
