AVOID ALL MEAT
IF KIDNEYS AND
BLADDER BOTHER
Uric Acid in meat excites Kidneys
and irritates the
Bladder.
Take Salts at first sign of Bladder
weakness Or Kidney
Backache.

Kidney and Bladder weakness re-
suit from uric acid, says noted au-
thority The kidneys filter this acid
from the blood and pass it on to the
bladder, where it often remains to ir-
ritate and int1ame, causing a burning,
scalding sensation, or setting up an ir-
ritation 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 scald-
ing sensation and is very profuse;
again there is difficulty in avoiding it..
Bladder weakness, most folks call
1t, because they can't control urina-
ton. While it Is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this is
really one of the most simple ailments
to overcome. Get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from your pharmacist
and take a tablespoon in a glass of
water before breakfast, continue this
for two or 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.
Jad 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. Jad
Salts is splendid for kidneys and
causes no bad effects whatever.
Here you have pleasant, efferves-
cent lithia-water drink which quickly
relieves bladde rtrouble.

PASTOR TO SPEAK
ON GRAND CANYON
Rev. Warren f. Cook to Deliver III.
Illustrated lecture on Wonder
Land of Arizona.

No spot exists on earth more beau
tiful than the Grand Canyon. Tourists
stand in awe at this riot of natural
beauty. Words fail them. Adjectives
are useless. It can be appreciated
but not described at the moment. Re-
Election is necessary. Rev. Warren F.
Cook, pastor of Trinity Methodist
church, recently toured the Grand
Canyon and he brought back with
him a charming description of this
Wonderland He also secured more
than 100 photographs and these will
be shown in stereopticon at his lee
ture. next Sunday evening at 1890
o'clock at the church.
The Grand Canyon of Arizona is
a great yawning cash in the earth's
surface, two hundred and seven miles
long, one mile deep, and with an
average width Of nine miles. Nature
has painted it's cliffs and valleys with
soft, mellow colors which are con-
stantly changing and re-changing
under the influence of cloud and sun.
At sunrise the Canyon is often filed
with clouds which give the appear
ance Of a great white sea, which lazi-
ly lifts itself from the depths at the
call of the sun. To see storm in
the Canyon is a glorious experience.
To ride seven miles down to the river
bed on the thirty per cent grade on
mule back looking down over
yawning chasms thousands of feet be-
low, is exciting fun, to say the least.
To ride on the rim of this Canyon
for mile after mile and watch the
changing figures, which nature has
cut through the years, is an exper-
fence that cannot be described.
Beautiful colored pictures of the
Canyon and points enroute, showing
the colors in all Of their natural
beauty, and depicting the depths and
distances and castle forms in a very
realistic manner will be shown at Mr..
Cooks lecture.

chief of the emperor's civil cabinet,

of the internal political situation dur
ing the emperor's absence in the Bal

Valentini is known jokingly as 1.-The
carrier of the bowstring'' on account
Of the part he plays in the political
demise of the highest imperial and
Prussian civil officials. He acts as the
emperor's eyes and ears in ascer-
tanning public and political opinion
regarding ministers and ministerial
candidates.
Responsibility is accredited popu-
larly to Valentini for the discovery
and selection of DR.. Michaelis when
it was decided to drop Prince Won

socialists announcement that they
would make open war on the govern

however, do not have the entire
strength of their parties behind them.

untitled Orders
ABOUT THE same
Not Much Difference in October
1917 and October 1916

Washington, Oct. 24.-Fairfax
Harrison chairman of the railroads
war board, authorizes the following:
The railroads of the country report
that on October 1st the excess of un-
filled orders from shippers for freight
cars over and above the idle cars at
different points numbered 70,3S0.
This is the figure which has been
commonly, but inaccurately, referred
to as car shortage.
This compares with the excess of
untitled car acquisitions amounting to
1852 on July list; 33,776, August list;
34,605 on September LIST.
The difference in the excess of I'M
filed order over untitled cars for the
two years is accounted for by the fact
Identical with the number on Octo-
per LIST, last year, the figures being
94,572 for October 1, 1917, and
94,S54 for September 80, 1916.
The digerence in excess of untitled
orders over untitled cars for the
two years is accounted by the fact
that on September 80, 1915, as many
as 34,157 cars were idle, whereas on
October 1, 1917, only 24,192 were re-
ported as idle, thus indicating a more
efficient use of the available equip
ment on the part of the railroads.
Returns to the railroads war board
show that the actual number of cars
and locomotives now in service on
American railroads is only slightly in
excess of the number at this time last
year.
The war board, on October 10th,
had, been in existence exactly six
months and the returns just at hand
show that during that period the rail-
roads of the country have rendered
upward of 5 per cent. more service
than they did during the same period
last year with practically the same
plant.
The outstanding feature of the
present situation is the degree to
which the railroads are CO. operating
Fundamentally with one another and
with the railroads war board in the
effort to produce a maximum of

MANY NEED DENTISTS.

The local exemption boards today
received a letter from Provost General
Crowder calling attention to the fact
that most of the drafted men have
teeth which need attention, but be-
cause the law allows but one dentist
for every thousand men in the army
it Is impossible to care for them. He
remarks upon the patriotism of the
dental profession and intimates that
free service to drafted men before 60
ing to camp would be appreciated by
the government.

ECONOMIC RULE IS UNBROKEN
The More Money, the Higher the
Prices, Has Been the Law Since
Earliest Days of World.

When the Indians of New England
found plenty of seashells out of which
to make their money called wampum,
the more of it they would give for a
blanket, basket, kettle, pair of mecca
sins or feather bonnet, says Girard in
the Philadelphia Ledger.
The political economy of King Phil
lips race and time still prevails. Ev-
cry day this year the rest of the world
has dumped q cool 100000 of gold
upon the United States. Now we have
nearly 1,000000,000 more gold than
we had when the war began.
If we had cheap wheat, shoes, over
coats, vegetables, or coal after hay
ing added nearly 80 per cent to our
gold hoard, we should be obliged to
tear up all those fine spun and dusty
political economy books we were
taught in school.
But the books stand, and rightly so,
for the very paper they are printed on
has been boosted upward by this colos-
sal wave of gold. When this I'M
matched crest of yellow metal breaks
and recedes after the war-well, we
shall follow King Phillip and his wam-
pun and pay smaller amount of it
for what we buy.

Plan Uniform Cars,

Uniform cars for freight on rail-
roads, is about to follow the use of
all lines in common by the government.
An official has just stated that there
were difficulties to be overcome, due
to the fact that different companies
built different types of wagons to suit
their own requirements, and that some
companies stock was superior to that
of others, but now that the arrange
ment has been made the common user
has come to stay, no matter whether
company operation of the lines is re-
verted to or not. And, with common
user, there will necessarily arise a de-
mand for standard types of wagons
which, being standardized, will be
readily built and repaired by all rail-
roads.
