RECOMMENDED.
HOT DEBATE IN ASSEMBLY
Measure Allows, With Revolving Fund,
$1,023,61s for 1918 and $9S8,176
for 1918-19-BiIl Now Goes

Madison-Despite efforts Of the nor.
NAL schools to get a larger appropria-
ton than recommended by the joint
committee on finance, the bill recon-
mended by the committe and passed
by the senate was concurred in by the
house, So to %. The measure now
goes to the governor. This appropria-
ton, as explained by E. A. Everett,
deals fairly with the various normal
schools and increases the expenditures
of two years ago by $4,000. Includ-
ing revolving funds, the bill appropri-
ates $1,023,618 for 1918 and $685.

V. v. Miller introduced a substitute
to raise by about $155,773 the increase
recommended by the finance commit
tee, and it was upon this bill the as
sembly fought several hours, develop
ing charges of questionable tactics by
normal school presidents to overturn
the report of the committee.
Everett pointed out that one provi-
sion of the Miller substitute provided
$4,000 for the improvement of nor
NAL school site in the city of Rhine
lander, where, he said, the state pro-
poses to build school, but up to this
time owns no site. Everett charged
that the new bill was imperfect and
that 1t set up discrepancies that could
not be explained.
The house by vote of 81 to 80 re-
fused to reject the Miller substitute. A

LESS MEAT # BACK
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Take glass of Salts to flush Kidneys
if Bladder bothers you-Drink
lots Of water.

Eating meat regularly eventually pro-
duees kidney trouble in some form or
other, says a well-known authority, be-
cause the uric acid in meat excites the
kidneys, they become overworked; get
sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of
distress, particularly backache and mis-
cry in the kidney region; rheumatic twin
ges, severe headaches, acid stomach, con-
stipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness,
bladder and urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take tablespoonful in glass of water
before breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then 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 clogged kidneys and stimulate them
to normal activity; also to neutralize the
acids in the urine so it no longer irri-
tates, thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then to keep the
kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus
avoiding serious kidney disease.
