QUIT MEAT WHEN

Says Uric Acid in meat clogs Kid neys and irritates Blad-
 der
A glass of Salts is harmless way ru flush Kidneys, says Au-
 thOrity.

If you must have your meat every day, eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts occasionally, says noted authority who tells us that meat forms uric acid which almost para lyzes the kidneys in their efforts to expel it from the blood. They be- come sluggish and weaken, then you suffer with a dull misery in the kid ney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue Is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the channels often get sore and irritated, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night.
 To neutralize these irritating acids, to clease the kidneys and flush off the bOdy's urinous waste get four ounces of lad Salts from any pharmacy here; take tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fire This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice com bined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate Sluggish kidneys, also to neutralizc the acids in urine, SO it no longer jr- ritates, thus ending bladder weakness. lad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in lure. and makes a delightful effer- vescent lithia- water drink.

an appropriation to help defray the cost of laying a new surface sewer on the properties of the Trumbull Electric company and the local sub- sidiary of the Marlin Arms company. At a special town meeting the project was favorably voted upon and an ap- propriation made which will cover one-half of the estimated cost. The other half is to be paid jointly by the two aforementioned concerns.
 Whether the Rockwell-Drake com- pany will construct the new road this fall or wait until spring is not known. However, everything at present IS in readiness to carry on the proposed work. The surface sewer, it Is thought, will not be tackled until spring owing to the weather condi- tions which now prevail and because of the approach of winter.
 The question of providing adequate living facilities for the augmented force of workmen who will have to be employed as soon as the concerns open in full swing will again confront officials It is rumored that one of the concerns is considering tho feas- ibility of building a number of houses next spring which will be located to the 1aCtOrY.

The committee who will be in charge this evening are: John J. Murphy, Thomas Taylor, Ercolo Schuppcci and Martin Foran
 During it's first year in existence the club has found popular favor, and so- cially and financially has been a suc- cess. Owing to the fact that a num- Der of its members have been called to the colors, a meeting was held some time ago to consider the feasi- bility of disorganizing during the win ter months. At the meeting it was voted to continue the clubs activi- ties.

HILLSBOR0'S MISTAKE.

a little town over in 1llinois-EIills-

no dancing or picture shows, etc,

Hillsboro Is too sudden. We have not

enemies and we are called upon to ex-

The soldier in camp and at the front

relieve the strain that rests upon him
continually. And it is as true Of he
citizen who meets his responsibility
honestly and does his part bravcly and
sincerely. There IS a strain on all OF
US, strain that will grow as tho days
pass and the red facts Of war knock at
the doors Of our houses with sorrowful
messages; when sacrifice of life and
means are daily demands. We shall
need, as the soldiers need. the tenn

of what lies behind and awaits before
us.
There are amusementS that should be
dropped because they demand exemp-
