John Dokken, of Brookings, the &C.

put in a walk for John Thoelke east of
his residence. 1t is a splendid piece of

more of this work to do in town but
will not be able to return for a couple

for a farmer near While.

The public is becoming sadly

manufacture a real thrill nowadays.
Chorus girls, dressed in tights and
Jackets that caused theatergoers to

comment tOday-eXcept, perhaps, a
few blase remarks about such dress
being terribly old-fashioned."

After tights, what?' was the
question the managers had to an

Nothing was the reply And
they have come just as near nothing
as they dare. In these modern times
the chorus parades in bare legs, de-

# KIDNEYS BOTHER
Eat less meat and take Salts for Back.
ache or Bladder trouble
Neutralizes acids.

Uric acid in meat excites the kidneys,
they become overworked;l get sluggish,
ache, and feel like humps of lead. The
urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is irri-
tated, and you may be obliged to seek re-
lief two or three times during the night.
When the kidneys clog you must help
them flush off the body's urinous waste
or you'll be a real sick person shortly.
At first you feel dull misery in the kid
ney region, you suffer from backache,
sick headache, dizziness, stomach gets
sour, tongue coated and yous feel rheu-
matte twinges when the weather is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots of water;
also get from any pharmacist four ounces
of Jad Salts; 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 clean clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to normal activity,
also to neutralize the acids in urine, SO
it no longer is source of irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in
jure; makes delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone should
take now and then to keep the kidneys
clean and active. Druggists here say
they sell lots of Jad Salts to folks who
believe in overcoming kidney trouble
while it is only trouble.

JUNIoR-sENIoR RECEPTION.

Saturday evening the Junior, Glass
royalty entertained the class of 1917, the
faculty and the members of the school
board and their ladies, at a banquet
which was given in .honor of the de
parture of the Senior class from the
school life of the New Ulm High.
The Junior Class, true to their past
record as entertainers, can we'll claim
the distinction of having held enc of the
most elaborate and best prepared feast
ever given by class representing the
New Ulm schools.
For time after the outbreak of war
between our country and Germany, the
idea of doing away with the banquet was
entertained, but as the Juniors had
worked all thru their school life to make
the affair the greatest ever, the idea was
put aside and the reception given as
planned.
However, to show their loyalty to their
country, the class used as their decorative
colors, besides the school colors, the
colors of the national flag, and in all
parts of the banquet hall, BUR- national
emblem could be seen standing out
among the decorations.
Promptly at five thirty the guests
assembled and were Immediately taken
to the banquet hall, where they first
chose their partners. Then delicious
three-course dinner was served.
After all had partaken of the meal,
Mr.. Hess, acting as POSTMASTER, intro
duced the president of the Junior Glass,
who spoke with praise of the Seniors.
He was followed by Miss Louise Pierce,
who gave a talk on "Retrospection. .
Armin Koehler, president of the Senior
Glass responded to a toast "Our Hosts
in a most able. manner, after which the
hall was cleared and the young folks
enjoyed themselves in tripping the
light fantastic" until the hands of the
clock showed the hour of eleyen-thirty.

Bronx Of our own metropolis. Out on
this road and practically joining the city
we find the American settlement in the
village of Santurce. Here we, have
bungalows built in I, country where
bungalows are worth while. The Amerri-
can has builded we'll and he has allowed
nature free hand in clothing the
premises with tropic verdure. The
beautiful and fruitful cocoanut palm,
the various climbing vines and the
gorgeous tropic blossoms parting here
and there to afford glimpse. Of the
distant blue, blue sea, form picture
impossible to describe and only family
to be pictured, for no artist can paint
the glorious colorings of this tropic land
scape.

roads are the first things tol catch the

government had to do was to furnish the

KILLING OF CALVES Is
MENACE TO MEAT SUPPLY

Immediate legislation prohibiting
the slaughter OF calves and having
in view the Increase OF the meat sup
ply for the future. is urged in let
ter from Claude Byars, who was de-
featAd for congress by G. Bascom
Slemp several years ago, to Governor
stuart. Mr.. Byars asks that the gov
ernor call an extra session of the Vir-
GINA legislature to put this matter
before them. In the letter he states:
The slaughter Of calves is largely
responsible for the scarcity OF beef
cattle and the high price Of meats.
Believing that prompt legislation by
the states is imperative in order to
conserve the rapidly depicting sup
ply Of meats. as well as to stimulate
production OF all kinds of foods. T
respectfully suggest that you convene
an extra session of the legislature for
the purpose OF enacting such laws as
may be deemed most expedient to
prevent the slaughter and sale of
saives, ana. possibly. to make illegal
the slaughter of any female animal
capable OF producing food meat DUR
ing the period of the war or until
the meat supply is to some extent
rep!cnished.
