LAW CONSOLIDATING
 ELECTIONS OPPOSED

Little Rock. Nov. 13.--With the election over, and the result definitely known, the politicians have begun the organization of the general assembly for 1917. and almost daily confer ences are held in Little Rock. They know now who the members will be, and can start to work upon them in the interest of their candidates. The number of Republicans will probably be larger than ever before, and the law which consolidates elections is bearing the blame. This will no doubt bring about bill to repeal the consolidated election law, and should it pass, it will not go into effect dntii after the Brundidge primary bill is in operation. The friends of the cleo ton bill were the friends of the con- solidated elections bill, and they state that with the primary bill in force. they are not SO much interest ed in the consolidation of all elec- tions, and with it in operation, the candidates need not be, for it means that the Democrats will illuminate men in the future who will command the entire support of their party.
 While the politicians are active quite early, it is hardly probable that anything will be definitely determined until after the first of the year, for the speaker of the house and presi- dent of the senate have never beer agreed upon before the week prior to the legislative session.

PLANNING MONSTER
 GOOD ROADS MEETING

Little Rock, Nov. 13.--A monster good roads meeting is being arranged to be held in Little Rock before the end of the present month. This meet ing will be held whether constitution al amendment No. 14 is adopted or not If the amendment is adopted, this meeting will prepare the legislative act which will safeguard it, and see that the people get under it the re- lief they sought,
 Should the amendment not be adopted, the road builders will pre- pare bill to be presented to the lgislature, which will have the sup port of all factions, and which they hope will cause the construction of roads in all sections of Arkansas. There is no doubt about the passage of such a bill, if it is presented, for the present road. laws are wholly in adequate, according to the road en- thusiasts. .-~
 Judge J. s. Abercrombie of Benton, county judge of Saline county, is the president of both the Good Roads and County Judges associations, and he will probably call the executive com mittees of both associations to meet with representative of the Arkansas Association of Motor clubs, and oth- CTS who are sufficiently interested in the construction of good roads to at tend the meeting.

The function of the kidneys is to filter the blood. In 24 hours they strain from it 500 grains of acid and waste, so we can readily understand the vital importance of keeping the kidneys active.
 Drink lots of water-you can't drink too much; also get from any pharmactist about four ounces of lad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast each morn ing for a few days and your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lem on juice, combined with lithia and has been used for generations to clean an, stimulate clogged kidneys; also te neutralize the acids in urine so it nc longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder weakness.
