SHEEP MEN MEET
Plans Formulated for the Organiza-
ton of Valley Association, and
Other Business Transacted

A meeting of the Rio Grande
County Sheep Growers Association,
together with a number of members
of the Saguache and Conejos county
associations, was held in the opera
house in Center Monday afternoon,
and large crowd was present to
discuss the issues of interest to the
sheep growers of the valley.
The question of raising the graz
ing fees on the National forest was
protested by the members of the
associations.
The report that the government
would withdraw their inspectors,
since the quarantine for scabies had
been raised, was brought up, but a
letter from the department in ans
wer to the inquiry, was read, stating
that the government would main
tain inspectors for this purpose, was
received with satisfaction.
Saguache and Rio Grande counties
also arranged to employ two expert
hunters each, to hunt and trap pre-
datory animals in this district and
the government has agreed to en-
ploy a like number for the purpose,
thus making eight men in all, to be
employed for this purpose
Both associations agreed to fur
nish poison free to all that would
use it for the purpose of destroying
coyotes and arrangement will be
made so that ranchmen and cattle
men may secure these poison pellets
In every town free of charge
One of the most important pro-
ceedings at the meeting was to call
meeting of the sheep growers to
be held in Del Norte, Saturday, Jan.
27th. for the purpose of organizing a
valley association. Such an organi-
cation would prove of inestimable
value to the stockmen of the valley,
and large number are expected to
meet on the above date to perfect
the organization.-Disp

If KIDNEYS AND
BLADDER BOTHER
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys and
neutralize Irritating
Acids.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says noted author
ity. The kidneys fitted this acid from
the blood and pass it on the to blad-
Ger, where it often remains to irri-
tate and inflame, causing a burning,
scalding sensation, or setting up an
irritation at the neck of the bladder,
obliging you to seek relief two or
two times during the night. The suf-
ferrer is in constant dread, the wa
ter passes sometimes with a scalding
sensation and is very profuse; again,
there is difficulty in voiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
il, because they can't control urina-
ton. While it is extremely annoying
ard sometimes very painful, this is
really one of the most simple ailments
to overcome. Get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from your pharmacist
and take tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast, continue this
for two or three days. This will neu-
tralize the acids in the urine so it no
longer is source of irritation to the
bladder and urinary organs which then
act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and is used by thousands Of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caused
by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is
splendid for kidneys and causes no
Dad effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, effreves-
cent lithia-water drink, which quickly
relieves bladder trouble. 8

ITALIAN WARSHIP SUNK

London.-Further losses at sea by

sinking OF the battleship Regina Mar

the Albanian coast with the loss Of
675 men is announced officially in

the crew escaped. A Turkish official
cruiser of the Juno type, measuring
5000 tons, was sunk by Turkish gun
fire during an attack on the island OF
Kastelorizo in the Eastern Mediter-
ranean. This report may refer to the
British battleship CORVALLIS or the
British seaplane carrier Benny -Chree,

miralty.

making every possible effort to check

Still using the massed formation,
with which Hindenburg beat back
the Russians in the fall OF 1914, the
Germans are hurling attack on the
enemy's front in the Riga-Mitau sec

ser lnshore-Hope Of Saving
Vessel Fades.

Eureka, Cal.,-The stranded cruiser
Milwaukee, whose crew was taken
off was washed further toward shore
near here. AS the hull continued to
fill with water, hope OF salvaging the
vessel faded. Navy salvagers have
abandoned efforts to save the sub
marine H-3, which the Milwaukee
was trying to pull off the beach when
the cruiser was swept ashore.
The paymaster OF the Milwaukee
returned to the ship and took off $780,
900. Personal effects OF the officers
and men also were removed.
The commanded of the Milwaukee,
and J. NJ. Frazer and r. j. Porter,
heads OF wrecking companies, board
ed the cruiser and made such exam
ination of her condition as was pos
sible.
After his inspection OF the wreck
Mr.. Frazer declared that the cruiser
could not be relocated. He said the
stanchions had begun to give way and
the indications were that the Milwau-
kee soon would go to pieces. A tenn
porary pier will be built out to the
cruiser so that ordance. machinery,
and all other movables can be strip
ped from her as quickly as possable.
Work OF salvaging the submarine
was turned over today to private
concern at a contract price Of $4,000.
Lieutenant Newton said the fac.
tors responsible for the Bleaching Of
the Milwaukee were a dense fog,
strong current and the drag Of the
heavy line attached to the H-3.
"The conduct of the Mi'waukee's
men was splendid in every particular"
he said, "and the rescue work ashore
was efficiently handled"
