POSTPONE RELAY RUN
DATE CANCELLED on ACCOUNT
OF POOR CONDITION OF
NORTH END OF ROAD.

The Meridian relay run, between
Winnipeg, Man, and Galveston, Tex,
has been called off, for the present,
according TO adviees reaching here
today. Messages were to have been
carried in relays from the lieutenant
governor of Manitoba, and the mayor
of Winnipeg, to the governor of Tex
as and the mayor of Galveston. Mes
sengers were to have left Winnipeg,
going V the first section of the run
early next week.
Ii is said that the dates for the run
were cancelled owing to the Canadian
end OF the road being impossible
just now 1t is reported that an at
tempt may be made to hold the con-
test later in the month. T.. A. Keller
and Bud" Johnson had been chosen
by a committee of the Commercial
club to take the message from Mad
isno to Salem. 1t had been estimated
that the distance between Winnipeg
and Galveston would be covered in
about sixty hours.

pledge was that the administration
would be economical; that it would
decrease the number of officers and
reduce salaries. He declared that
the democrats had spent more money
in the last four years than il required
to maintain the government a similar

With regard to the new labor law. he
said that morn democratic than re-
publican congressman refused TO vote
for the passage of the bill,
Eight-Hour Law
The passing, under an emergency
clause, of the eight-hour railway la
Dor bill, he believed, was q move
against the carefully built up arbitra-
ton system. He said the law did not
make for shorter hours, but was
purely n to increase the pay of the
members of the four railway brother
hoods. He explained that the eight
hour law did not mean an eight-hour
day, but pay and a half for time over
eight hours. Congressman Dillon
said that instead of giving congress
time to call in members of other
branches of industry affected, and to
weigh the merits of the question. the
administration gave in when the rail
way brotherhoods threatened to stop
work and starve people in the larger
eastern cities. He said that in refus-
ing arbitration, the railway men had
said they would not be bound by the
courts of the land. He said that he
was in favor of better wages, but only
when both sides had an equal chance
TO be heard.

words for publication early this aft

which made up his MONDAY repast.
The governor arrived from the south
at 2:30 o'clock. A hasty lunch taken
after his arrival, at the Milwaukee
depot restaurant, constituted the only
food he had had an opportunity to
come in contact with since early
morning. After devoting about five
minutes to a%ppeasing his appetite,
the governor was whisked away in
an automobile to Wentworth, where
he was scheduled TO speak this after
noon.
Asked for his opinion of the po-
litical situation, Gov. Byrne replied
that he felt there was no doubt that
this state would go republican. but
that he believed Peter Norbeck, re
publican candidate for governor.
would lead the national ticket.

of Childrens diseases, hut there Is
still a disposition on the part of far
too many parents to regard them as
comparatively trivial, in some cases
almost necessary accompaniments OF
childhood. No greater mistake could
be made. Each of these diseases
every year takes a much heavier toll
of young life in this state than di-
seases which arouse more apprehen-
sion, but are less common. 1t is
depressing to consider the unneces-
sary, because, preyentable suffering
and loss of child life. Physicians
and health officers find these two di.
seases among the most difficult to
control because of the yet too pre-
valent belief that they are so mild
and devoid of danger to life that
precautions are not necessary. Yet

f BACK HURTS
BEGIN ON SALTS
Flush your kidneys occasionally
If you eat meat
regularly.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally, says a
well known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which clogs the kidney pores
so they sluggishly filter or strain only
part of the waste and poisons from
the blood then you get sick. Nearly
all rheumatism, headaches, liver trou-
bles, nervousness, constipation, diz-
ziness. sleeplessness, bladder disor-
ders come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts, or
if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full
of sediment, irregular of passage or
attended by a sensation of scalding,
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any reliable pharmacy and take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and leWon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for
generations to flusli clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to activity, also
to neutralize the acids in urine so it
no longer causes irritation, thus end.
ing bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful efferves-
cent Whitewater drink which all reg
ular meat eaters should take now and
then to keep the kidneys clean and
the blood pure, thereby avoiding ser
ious kidney complications.

RURAL SANITATION

(Dr John W. Duke. commissioner.
There is a widely prevalent belief
that conditions in the rural districts
including farms and small towns are
more favorable to healthfulness than
in the cities This is a natural as
sumption, but the facts are that GER
tain of the communicable diseases,
such as typhoid fever, are more pre-
valent in rural communities because
less attention generally, is paid in the
country districts to sanitation
In cities, with their more dense
population it has been rendered i'm
perative to provide pure water sup
plies, sewerage systems and proper
disposal of garbage, which, together
with a stronger public sentiment de
handing enforcement of restrictive
measures against the spread of lon
tagion. has resulted in a much greater
reduction in the rate of diseases de-
pendent upon sanitation. In fact
typhoid fever is now looked upon as
much more of rural and small town
problem than one directly affecting
the larger cities.
The Inhabitants Of the farms and
villages of Oklahoma should under
stand that unsanitary outhouses, con
taminated wells and filthy fybreed-
ing conditions are dangerous wher-
ever they exist and should be abated.

meet with a strong and favorable
public sentiment The State Board
of Health and the officials and ply
