QUIT MEAT WIEN
 kIDNEYS BOTHER
Take Glass of Sal.s if Your Back Hurts Or Bladder Troubles
 You

No man or. woman who eats meat regularly can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally. says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which excites the kidneys, they become over-worked from the strain, get sluggish and fail to filter the waste and poisons from the blood, then we get sick Nearly all rheu- matism, headaches, liver trouble, ner- vousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and urinary disorder come from luggish kidneys.
 The moment you feel dull ache in the kidney or your back hurts or if the urine Is cloudy, offensive, full Of sedi- ment, irregular of passage or attend ed by sensation of scalding, stop eat ing meat and get about four ounces of lad Salts from any pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water be- fore breakfast and in a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations ro flush and stimulate the kidneys. also to neutralize the acids in urine so 1t no longer causes irritation, thus end ing bladder weakness.
 lad Salts is inexpensive and cannot injure; makes delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which everyone should taken now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active and the blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney complica

SHOULD CITIES HELP MAINTAIN
 COUNTY ROADS?

A conspicuous example of what hap pens to county roads when city, the center of heavy automobile traf- fife, fails to contribute toward the building and maintenance of county roads, is found in Spotylvania coun- ty, Va, according to specialists in road economies Of the United States department of agriculture.
 The country districts of Spotsyl- vania county some years ago issued $170,000 of Az and , per cent bonds to improve their county roads. Un- der the Virginia law, the cities of the state are not taxed for county pur- poses, although they may aid in the improvement of roads for a distance of 10 miles from the city limits if the city council so elects. The city of Fredericksburg, in Spotsylvania coun- ty, however, contributed no part to the financial burden of maintaining the county roads. The heavy automobile traffic emanating from that point has proved to be a very destructicc cle- ment to the county road system, and it was found that rapid deterioration was taking place in the county roads, and insufficient funds existed with which 10 meet the situation. The county authorities, accordingly, es- tablished toll gates on tie principal roads and sufficient revenue thus was derived, not only to maintain the roads but actually to extend their construc- tion short distance. This reversion to a system long since abolished by most counties was partially due at least to the fact that the city in this county had contributed nothing to the up-keep of, the roads which residents of that city use extensively for auto mobiles.
 The writers of the report suggest, in view of the very rapid development of motor vehicles in the past decade and the prospects of much more wide spread use of this means of transpor- tation in the future, the desirability of making provisions so that the cit ies may aid in the construction and maintenance of roads in the surround ing territory.

UNCLE SAM'S REALLY BIG
 BUSINESS.

Corn is Uncle Sam's really big busi- ness-the biggest in acreage, the big gest in byproducts, the biggest in ex- port, but-the biggest in waste. The current number of the Nations Busi- ness tells how James P. Hartley, who knows more about corn than any other man in the country, plans to elimi- nate some of this waste.
 The 1916 corn crop is safe and will soon be on the way to market. Meas ured in money the crop means billion and half dollars of new wealth.
 The corn field of the United States is 800 miles wide and 270 miles long.
 It is large enough to cover Ohio,

HIS ACCENT BARS
HIM FROM YALE
Harvard Preachers Talk Is
Described as TOO
English

New Haven, Conn, March S.-Ac-
cording to a statement made by Prof.
John Wesley Wetzel, who has charge
Of public speaking at Yale, an emil
nent Harvard professor because of his
Harvard accent has become persona
non grata at Yale, and will no longer
be asked TO preach to Yale students
in the college chapel. For the last
five or six years he has been an oc-
casional preacher there.
Prof. Wetzel in a lecture at Hart
ford mentioned the fact that one of
the best-known men of the Harvard
faculty, a professor, who went there
five or six years ago from the West,
had become so imbued with the Har-
ward and Boston atmosphere that re-
Gently his accent had been the sub
ject of comment by Yale undergradu-
ates on the occasion of his preaching
here. 1t was contended that as his
as grew broader, the reaching power
of his voice grew weaker, with the re-
suit that Yale men could not hear
him in the rear of Battell Chapel. He
was then informed that his engage
ment at Yale had been cancelled, ac-
cording to Prof. WetZel.
Prof. Wetzel said he took the mat
ter up with Arson Phelps Stokes, sec
retary OF the corporation, and after
asking him why the engagement of
the noted Harvard professor had been
cancelled was told by Mr.. Stokes that
his accent was growing too English" 4"
AS a result of his acquired accent,
Prof. Wetzel, the Harvard man fails
to pass for half his worth as a public
speaker.

Be PRETTY! TURN
GRAY HAIR DARK
Try Grandmother's Old Favorite
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly COM
pounded, brings back the natural color
and luster to the hair when faded,
streakcd or gray. Years ago the only
way to get this mixture was to make it
at home, which is mussy and trouble
some. Nowadays. by asking at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" you will get large
bottle of this famous old recipe, inn
proved by the addition OF other in
gradients. for about so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair. as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at q time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another APP
plication or two your hair becomes
beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire dark hair and Il
youthful appearance. 1t is not in
tended for the cure, mitigation or pre-
vention of disease.

WHAT MANY CHILDREN LACK

peevish, delicate and ailing, with
spindling little legs and arms and
often so cross that parents can do

lack vitality. Our local druggists,

and is so delicious children love to
take it.
