QUIT MEAT WHEN
 KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take Glass of Salts 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 wellknown authority. Meat forms uric acid which excites the kidneys. they become overworked from the strain, get sluggish and fail to filter the waste and poisons from the blood, then we get sick Nearly all rheuma- tism, headaches, liver trouble, nerv- ousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and urinary disorders 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 at tended bye a sensation of scalding. stop eating meat and get about four ounces of lad Salts from any phar- macy; take tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast and in a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com bined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate the kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder weak ness.
 lad Salts is inexpensive and cannot injure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which everyone should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active and the blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney complications.

YESTERDAY AT THE
 PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

A pleasant springlke day was one of the contributing causes of very good congregation at the morning service at the Presbyterian church. Ordinarily the discouraging feature, regarding this as we'll as every other church in town is, that if only one half of the regular membership of the church was present, the house would be filled at every service. Ill., ness, absence from town, indifference and numheriess other reasons are the potent forces with which pastor as we'll as people have to contend. Dr. Williams preached splendid sermon from the subject, "The earth is the Lords and the fullness thereof; the worth and they that dwell therein"
 The subject of the nights service was a telescopic view of the book of Romans, in which the whole book was discussed A smaller, but none the less appreciative congregation was present at the night service.

GAZETTE REPORTER WILL
 DESERVE GREAT CREDIT
Roofing

If women gain partial suffrage in Arkansas in this session of the legis- lature, Earl E. Plowman, Gazette reporter, will deserve as much credit as the author of the bill which passes. though it is doubtful if it will be ac- corded him. Someone down in Texas discovered that the constitution of that State, which is practically the same as was that of Arkansas until
 the l. X R. began to work upon it, did not prevent women voting in the primaries. A bill was introduced in the Texas legislature to extend suf- frage to the women in primary elec- tions, and Plowman read the story. With the true newspaper instinct, Plowman started out to see if there was not story of the same kind pos sihle in Arkansas He met another newspaper man and asked him what chance there would be to get the bill introduced in the Arkansas legislature Plowman is no suffragist, but he saw a good story for his paper and wanted it. The compatriot was well advised on the policies of the different legis- lators, and knowing that Representa- tive John Riggs, another newspaper

AS PLANTING TIME DRAWS
 NEAR

As the time draws near for planting and the farm manager carefully con- siders the prospects for marketing, the more he will be impressed with the importance of feed and food crops. Those who reason logically will not let their own personal preferences have anything to do with their de- cision as to the crops to be planted They will be guided solely by the probable markets for the money crops and the needs of the family for food and feed for livestock.
 The opportunity for marketing cot ton at good prices will depend upon several things, but especially will the acreage planted in food and feed and that left for cotton have much to do with prices. That is, we as cotton growers may risk large acreage in cotton or we may plant small area and take no chances. Every individual must meet this question and act upon it according to his own judgment.
 But leaving the question of cotton acreage alone, it will be the judgment of many that a liberal acreage had best be planted in food and feed crops so that the manager will be able to live regardless of whether or not the cotton market is satisfactory in the fal1-Farm and Ranch.

Ing then the ideal is attained, and
this smoothing and shaping is the
work accomplished by the road drag.
The water standing In pools and pud-
dies Is spread out over larger sur
face, so that 1t dries quickly, the min
ute holes or pores In the clay are
smeared over and closed, making the
surface more nearly waterproof; the
ruts and holes are gradually filed
up and made smooth, and Just enough
earth Is moved toward the middle to
give the proper crown The result Is
smooth, hard. well-shaped road
which will shed water and never be-
comes very muddy In wet weather
or very dusty In dry weather.
From the above discussion 1t can
readily be seen that dragging should
be done when the road is wet, or at
least when 1t Is moist The exact
time to drag any given road will de-
pend upon the character of the road
material, and no exact rule can be
given which will fit all cases. II trN-
fc can be kept off from the dragged
portion for awhile then the road may
be dragged when 1t Is very wet and
sloppy, but II wagons are going to
follow right behind the drag, making
deep ruts rs soon as the old ones
are filled up, the dragging must be
deferred until the road has partly
dried out. Good judgment and expert

drag any given road. Roads which
dry out quickly must be dragged I'M

SURFAClNG THE FARM ROADS
Materials Ordinarily Used In Building
Roads Are Too Expenslve-Few
Good Suggestions.

Many of the materials ordinarily
employed In road construction will be
found too expensive for use in improv-
ing the farm roads. One or more Of
the following will, however, usually
be found available and within the
means of the farmer for surfncing his
roads and paths: gravel, mixtures Of
sand and clay, clnders, brickbats from
old buildings, brickyard waste and
quarry waste. The material selected
should, however. be hard enough to
withstand crushing under heavy loads
and possess sufficient binding power
to compact well and maintain firm,
hard surface under all ordinary wealth
