CHEAP CONGRESSMEN.

VTTe have had the cheap politician" for great many w years but now comes the "cheap congressman.
 We learn from Washington that von Bernstorf wanted only $5000O to handle American congressman so that Germany could go with her campaign of ruth esSness For that he figured he could keep this country of the and thereby force the allies to their
 knees Then the kaiser could send his demons of desruc ton over here and "clean up" Uncle Sam $50,000 sport
 Fine reasoning that of Wilhelms master manpulators That about fine piece of statesmanship Zi mermann negotiated when he sought to embrO Mexico and Japan with the United States even dar ingy planned and the trouble is that it partly cued The only reason that he fell down the prOpOsi ton that there enough good Americans in gress to outvoe La Toilette and few others whom Bern stor evidently figured he could induce to carry out the campaign of interference.
 It is sad commentary American principles of iber y and justice that every piece of legislation bearing on the conduct of the war with Germany has been opposed by handful of these "$50OOO sports" Even they op- posed the United States entering the war for human rights and they have stood pat They prate about the legality of this bill being enacted and the manifest njus tice to the taxpayers of the other.

HEAVY MEAT EATERS
 HAVE SLOW KIDNEYS
Eat less meat if you feel Baekachy or have bladder trouble-Taks
 glsss of SaltA

No man or woman who eats meat regu- larly can make mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a weIl-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 rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble. nervousness, 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 sedi- ment, irregular of passage or attended by a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat and get about four ounces of lad Salts from any pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast and in few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with ithia, 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 weakness.
 lad Salts is inexpensive and cannot iniure; makes a delightful efervescent Whitewater drink which everyone should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active and the blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney cnI1ulications.

Roadrunner is
 Menace to Quail
 Hayden Informed

Congressman Hayden has been in formed by local people that the road
 runner IS a menace to quail and his
 attention has been called to the need for changing the game laws so that this menace will be removed. Some time ago the Miner, in an editorial. declared that roadrunners destroy quail by the thousands. The matter was referred to a governmental bur eau having in charge the protection of game and one of the experts said that it had been found by tests in Califor- mia that the roadrunners were a pro- lection to the farmers in that they destroyed certain pests and insects.
 It was pointed out to Congressman Hayden that in this part of the coun- try the roadrunner serves absolutely no useful purpose and his extermina- tion would prove a god-send to the quail family. Specific cases where the roadrunner destroys whole coveys of quail by nipping off their heads and leaving their bodies on the ground were cited. The argument was used in calling this to the attention of the government that different conditions prevail in Arizona and California and that what is good for one section may be detrimental to another.
