Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels, get sluggish and
clogged and need flushing OCCASION
ally, else we have backache and dull
misery in the kidney region. severe
headaches, rheumatic twinges, torpid
liver, acid stomach, sleeplessness and
all sorts of bladder disorders.
You simply must keep your kid
neys active and clean, and the mo-
ment you feel an ache or pain in the
kidney region, get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from any good drug
store here, take tablespoonful in a
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
is harmless to flush clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to normal actlv-
ity. 1t also neutralizes the acids ir
the urine so it no longer irritates,
thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is harmless, inexpensive,
makes delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which everybody should
take now and then to keep their kid
neys clean, thus avoiding serious COM
piications. "A
A we'll known local druggist says

School House Farm Clubs

Organizations of farmers in
school districts in all sections OF
the county are beiI g made and
known as School House Farm
ers Clubs.
The objects of the organiza-
tions ale educational, social and
financial. The educational fea-
ture pertains t) acquiring better
knowledge of farming and stock
raising thru farm and stock jour
nails and ideas about land suita-
BILE for certain crops and rota-
ton of crops and other valuable
information to producers. The
social part is what the term I'M
plies, and the financial feature
is to learn best methods OF pre-
pairing crops and stock for mar
ket, the best markets for such
and since the farmer gets cash
for what he sells, it will be un-
dertaken to have the farmer
pay cash for what he gets and
receive the benefit of the cash
price on all he buys. The fact
that those who ask and receive
long credit for goods get them
at the same price as those VIM
nav the cash at the time of pur'
! chase or soon thereafter has
been taken up. and a strong ef.
| fort will be made to correct this
manifest injustice to the cash
buyer.
1t is said by those in a posi-,
ton to know that the organiza
ton in no way will be antagon
istic to the interest of the town:
Tor the merchants thereof, but
that one of the main purpose:
of the move is to bring about
closer relationship between th'
towns and country and conserve
to the fullest their mutual in
terests.

Killed In Runaway

Wednesday afternoon as he
was returning to Salisbury E.

injured by being thrown against
a telephone pole about mile
east of this city and at the cor

he reached the corner the horses
became frightened and ran and
became unmanageable, turning
the wagon over and throwing
the driver against the pole near
the corner, the horses breaking
from the wagon, one team re-
turning to this city and the other
going towards Salisbury. The
latter team was stopped at the
county infrmary and the other
near town. 1t was perhaps
twenty or thirty minutes after
the catastrophe that Naylor was
discovered. He was putin a cal
and rushed to a hospital in Mo-
berly. He died at 1890 Wed
nesday night.
His interment will be at Ii
Belle Mo. the former home Of

same person wrote this note
that wrote one of similar import
about a year ago to Bud Bennett
Of the same general neighbor-
hood. The Bennett note de-
manded something over TWO
hundred dollars.
The note to Baker was written
on q sheet of note sized ruieo {,

and printed and well done, little
effort at disguise being attempt
ed except in the spelling OF some
of the words.
Tuesday Baker baled TWO
stacks of his hay but left one
standing for attention in the 1u'
ture. and 1t is evident from the
note that the writer of the note
was well aware of this, and
since Baker did not quit WORK
baling until nearly night tne
party must have been in the i'm n
mediate neighborhood and fully
acquainted with these facts.
Here is what Mr.. Baker found
