RIGHT NOW!

son? The reason is easily ex-
planned, and the condition can
be readily corrected. There are
certain demands made upon the
human system every day, and
weather conditions play an i'm
portant part with the functions
of the body. Impurities have
accumulated during the long
winter period, your blood has
become sluggish, and as the
health of your body depends up
on the condition of your blood,
it is impossible to be vigorous
and feel buoyant when it con-
tains the slightest impurity.
Nature needs assistance, and
the feeling of lassitude is her
distress signal calling for aid.
She needs cleansing tonic that
will sweep away the accumu-
lated impurities and prepare the
system for the bright and sunny
springtime.
1t is right now that everybody
needs a few bottles of S. S. S..
the greatest blood purifier anc
tonic. This is truly nature
own remedy, for it is composed
only of the roots and herbs D

substance. 1t promptly cleanse
and revitalizes the blood, re
news the appetite and impart
strength to the entire body. l
should be taken right now b,

solve that this spring will fin
you and yours prepared for TIL

enjoyment in the change of sea

ment will send you, withou

AUTO BUSES NOT
COMMON CARRIERS.
UNDERLAW'
Public Utilities Commission
Has No Jurisdiction Over
Autos Not Running Over
Regular Routes.

It is the opinion Of the public utili-
ties commission that jitney buses or
other automobiles operated for fees
but which do not traverse regular
routes, are not common carriers and
therefore do not come under the juris-
diction of the commission as per the
terms Of the new law passed by the
last legislature giving the commission
Jurisdiction over certain classes of au-
tomobiles.
While no formal opinion has been
rendered by the commission, 1t was
clearly apparent from discussing the
matter with it's members this Is the
view taken. Those automobiles oper-
ated regularly over given routes as
stages between one city or town and
another, are made common carriers
under the law and come under the
Jurisdiction Of the commission. The
only exception Is where the stages
carry mail over star routes.
EFFECTIVE IN SIXTY DAYS.
The new law did not carry an
emergency clause and therefore does
not go into effect until so days after
the adjournment of the legislature.
A graduated scale of licenses is pro-
vided for automobiles run as common
carriers. The minimum license Is $25
and the maxir-Im $50. The usuaI al
/ lowance Is made where cars have been
operated but part of the year. This
license fee must be paid to the public
utilities commission. AS no exception
| is made it follows that the regular au-
tomobile license fee will have to be
paid in addition to the secretary of
state.
The commission is required to issue
to the automobile owners a license tag
bearing number and showing for
what reason it is issued. This tag
must be conspicuously displayed on the
machine. The purchase Of these tags
necessitates additional expense but the
legislature made no additional appro-
priation for 1t 80 1t will have to be
taken out of the regular appropriation
of the commission.
HOW FEE is GRADUATED.
The license Is graduated based on the
capacity of the carrier automobile In
both passenger and freight. The law
makes the usual exceptions for jit-
neys, buses, etc. Numerous inquiries
have been made to the commission by
automobile owners with regard to the
new law. There is a great deal of In
terest on the part Of owners Of auto
mobiles who use their machines fol
hire, either to take passengers OF
, freight to various parts OF the state
The commission seems to be of the
, opinion that in view Of the fact these
machines do not run on given routes
and schedules, but are free lances tc
go anywhere, they do not come under
the provisions of the act.

MEAT INJURIOUS
TO THE KIDNEYS
Take a Tablespoonful of
Salts if Back Hurts or
Bladder Bothers.

We are a nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid, says
a we'll known authority, who warns US
to be constantly on guard against kid
ney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork; they
get sluggish; the eliminative tissues
clog and thus the waste Is retained in
the blood to poison the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps Of lead, and you have sting
ing pains in the back or the urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, or the blad-
der is irritable, obliglng you to seek
relief during the night; when you
have severe headaches, nervous and
dizzy spells, sleepl essness, acid stom-
ach OF rheumatism In bad weather.
get from your pharmacist about four
ounces of Jad Salts; take table,
spoonful in a glass Of water before
breakfast each morning and In a few
days your kidneys will act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid OF
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for genera
tions to flush and stimulate clogged
kidneys, to neutralize the acids In
urine so 1t is no longer a source of ir-
ritation, thus ending urinary and
bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes delightful effervescent
! lithia- water drink, and nobody car
| make a mistake by taking little &C.
casionally to keep the kidneys clear
and active. ADV

To Prepare the System
for Spring

The change of seasons is al
ways severe on the human sys-
tenn. Particularly is this true of
the c h ange from winter to
spring. With the change OF sea-
sons there is also a change &C
ing on within the human system
that is very trying on the aver
age person, unless nature is
given some assistance.
The severity of winter has a
wearing effect and leaves the
body in a rundown condition.
That is what is meant by the
general debility which seems to
affect so many people, common
ly called "Spring fever" Any
one is liable to feel its depress-
ing influence.
At this season men who are
vigorous and active, and need
all their strength in their daily
pursuits, find creeping over
them a feeling of weakness
which increases until their Ell
tire system becomes worn-ou
and breakdown seems immi
nent.
| Women become nervous ant
tired, their household dutie'
seem more than they can stand
they can hardly drag them
selves around, so weakening i
the all run down feeling
which takes possession of them
Spring ailments are common
to children, for this is the seaso,
that is most severe on their lit
tie bodies. They become puny
lose appetite, are cross and irrl
table, all because they are no
in the proper physical conditioi
to stand the change.
Why is there general run

United Press Staff Correspondent.
London, March 28.-A. Bonar Law
chancellor of the exchequer, has given
the United Press the recipe for raising
five billion dollars-under certain Civ
en- circumstances. Only one ingred-
lent is necessary, he said, In ERECT,
and that is patriotism, but 1t Is well
to have It stirred by German frightful-
ness.
'aThe experimentation of German
friRhtfulness," he said, made the sue
cess Of the Victory war loan certain.
Just as Zeppelin attacks on London
started the first great rush to the COL
ors, the German promise to undersea
frightfulness, accentuated the greatest
rush to the pocketbook any country eV-
er saw. So in giving the people OF
Great Britain most of the credit for
their great financial effort, the chan
cellor insists that some credit be al
lotted to the promulgators of the
frightfulness campaign.
APPEAL TO PATRIOTISM.
Asked why he had confidently taken
to raise the desired money with pro-
mise Of a little more than 5 per cent
interest, when London's greatest finan-
sary to pay per cent, he said:
THE bankers, as was natural, look
ed at it as a financial problem. didn't
I looked at 1t as a fighting problem, a
