This is not so very far from the home

QUIT MEAT IF YOUR
KIDNEYS ACT BADLY
Take 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
well-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 humps 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, oblging you to seek
relief during the night; when you have
severe headaches, nervous and dizzy
spells, sieeplessness, acid stomach or
rheumatism in bad weather, get from
your pharmacist about four ounces of
Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast each
morning and in a few days your kid
neys will act fine. This famous salts
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with luhia, and
has been used for generations to flush
and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neu-
tralize the acids in urine so it is no
longer a source of irritation, thus end
ing urinary and bladder disorders
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes delightful efferves-
cent lithia- water drink, and nobody
can make a mistake by taking a little
occasionally to keep the kidneys clean
and active.

new CASTLE SAYS
GAS FIRM SHOWS
FAVOR TO RICHMOND

Although Richmcnds natural gas
supply during the recent very COLI
weather was decidedly limited, the gas
situation locally was much better than
in several other Indiana cities served
by the same pipe line, notably New
Castle, which city was completely de-
prived of its gas supply.
New Castle people are charging that
the company operating the pipe line
has shown favoritism to the Richmond
Light, Heat & Power company. and
the charge is also made that the local
gas company has more patrons than
it can serve satisfactorily. The New
Castle Times says editorially, in part:
The culprit in this instance We are
pleased to say, is not so much the
Richmond Light. Heat & Power Co.
as is the gigantic natural gas trust
that owns the gas fields and the pipe
lines through which the gas is de-
livered to the various cities. The L..
H. & P. Co. may not be entirely guilt
less. but at least it has pretty good
alibi 1t buys the gas it peddles to
you and me from the pipe line trust,
and of course has to take precisely
what it c2n get.
But the present shortage has den<
onstrated clearly that the Richmond
Light, Heat & Power Co., has more gas
consumers than it can accommodate
comfortably. It would be interesting
in the light of these facts, to know
whether the company is or is not
seeking still other new business.

late DR.. Churchill, who died in 1897
had told her that his daughter had dis
appeared when baby while he was
away from home on business trip.
Mrs. Merrill stated that Dr. Church
i'll informed her that his wife ex-
planned the disappearance of the baby
with the statement that she had given
the child to a colored woman to nurse
and that when she went to get the
baby, both the colored woman and the
baby had disappeared. This story was
not believed by the father and event
ually the couple became estranged.
The father spent virtually all his time
until his death seeking his lost child.
Several years ago Mrs. Churchill
became the wife Of Cleveland man,
named Austin. Following his death
she came to Eaton, about two years
ago, and secured the estate of her
fathf, Perry Alexander, one of the
most prominent residents of ProDle
county, On bis death. This estate
amounted to about 100000. The wo-
man continued to live in Eaton until

considerably lower than they will be a

does to prices but if peace should
come it will open the export trade in

the prices higher Lumber prices are
