QUIT MEAT F YOUR
KIDNEYS ACT BADLY
Take tablespoonful of Salts If Back
hurts or Bladder bothers-Drink
lots of water.

We are q nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid, says a
well-known authority, who warns us to
be constantly on guard against kidney
trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork; they
get sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog
and thus the waste is retained i the
blood to poison the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel like

table, obliging you to seek relief during
the night; when you have severe head
aches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleepless-
ness, acid stomach or rheumatism in bad
weather, get from your pharmacist about
four ounces of Jad Salts; take
tablespoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast each morning 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
TO flush and stimulate ciogged kidneys,
TO neutralize the acids in urine so it II

ending urinary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot

Providing a Target.

With the spread of overland auto
touring the milepost and budapest are
coming back into a prominence that Is
reminiscent of stage coach days. The
leading problem of countries, states
and auto associations In this line Is the
development Of signpost that will
stand up under the abuse 1t almost In
variably gets. One Of the newest de-
signs was developed by q prize contest
in Illinois. The prize-winning design
calls for a post which is built Of con-
crete throughout Another concrete
post which is finding favor has even
the names of towns and distances In
concrete letters. In the West much
damage Is done by hunters and others,
who shoot the signboards full Of holes.
The newest post In this region has Its
directions on one board, and a target
specially painted on another, with the
adjuration, IF you must shoot. shoot

the result of the publication of report

States is today. England had only 175
airplanes In July, 1914, according to
the report, less than half Of which
were fit for service. The exact present

admitted that Great Britain now has

A SIMPLE PROBLEM.
The Section Boss Easily Got the Tool
House In the Right Spot.

About ten years before the Eastern
railroad was leased by the Boston and
Maine that portion of the old road be
tween Swampscott and Salem was IN
charge Of Section Foreman Timothy
Moynahan.
His strongest point was in doing
tust as he was told and doing that
with energy and accuracy. SO when
he was notified from Beverly by Road
master Stevens that the section lengths
were to be changed and that he was to
move his tool house from the westerly
end of Salem yard to halfway between
mileposts Is and 10 he started out with
the determination to move the house
halfway. no more, no less.
To get this halfway point he sta.
tioned one Of his men at mllepost Is
and another at milepost 10. and at a
signal they started to walk toward
each other until they met. and to a
point opposite their meeting place the
shanty was moved. This method Of
getting the correct distance did not
quite suit Moynaban. especially when
be remembered that one of the walk
ers was taller than the other and the
other tripped several times on the way
down.
He carried this In bis mind for near
" year, when he met the engineers
measuring through for signals and
asked them to tell him as they meas
ured II his house was just halfway or
not.
When the measurement was taken,
the house was found 10 be sixty feet
nearer milepost 10 than 10. and Moy-
nahan. on being told. remarked that he
thought he could fix things just right.
Later I'm the year the engineer met
Moynahan In Salem and asked him II
his tool house was now halfway be-
tween the mile posts.
