FAT LESS AND TAKE
 SALTS FOR KIDNEYS
Take e glaS of Salts before breakfaE If your Back hurts or Bladder
 b0thers you

The American men and women must guard constantly against Kidney trouble, because we eat too much and all our food is rich. Our blood is filled with uric acid which the kidneys strive to filter out, they weaken from overwork, become sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and the result is kidney trouble, bladder weakness and @ general decline in health.
 When your kidneys feel like Jumps of lead; your back hurts or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment or you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night; if you suffer with sick headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid stomach, or you have rheumatism when the weather is bad, get from your phar- macist about four ounces of lad Salts; take 8 tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a 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 has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys; to neutralize the acids in the urine SO it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder disorders.
 lad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in- jure, makes a delightful effervescent beverage, and belongs in every home, because nobody can make a mistake by having good kidney fush- ing any time.

US. WILL NOT ERFROM
 CROP SHORTAGE NEXT YEAR

WASHINGTON, August 10. - The production of over one billion bushels of wheat and over eighty-three million bushels of rye, through the planting of 47,337,000 acres to winter wheat and of 5,131 ,0OO acres to rye this fall, is the immediate war agricultural program for the nation announced to- day by David F. Houston, secretary of agriculture. This record winter wheat acreage, an increase of Is per cent over last year, would yield 672,000,000 bushels if the average yield for the past ten years is equaled, or under 9 repetition of the favorable condi- tions of 1914 would give S80,000,000 bushels. In either case with a spring wheat crop next year equal to that of 1915, the nation will have more than one billion bushels of wheat for do- mestic use and export.
 This vcstly increased production of wheat, needed in any case, will be ab- solutely essential to prevent serious shortage of breadstuffs next summer should the growing corn now behind the season, be lauch q. aged by early frosts.
 The program approved by the secre- tary of agriculture represents the best thought of the U. S. department of agriculture and of state agricultural officials ard state councils of defense.
 The study of this question has in volved many factors and the special ists have been aware from the first that the demands for wheat may ex- ceed the supply next year. Effort therefore has been made to recom- mend in each state about as large an acreage in wheat and rye as can be sown without upsetting proper farm practice which must be maintained Tn the interest of other necessary spring planted crops which are not discussed in detail at this time as they are not food crops in which a marked short age exists.
Mohave County miner., 1917-08-11

The estimates, the department states, are made with the knowledge that there is some shortage of the fertilizer supply but with the under standing that there will be no general shortage in the supply of seed or of farm machinery which is necessary in the production of the wheat crop. It is understood also that ample trans portation facilities will be provided and a fair price of wheat will be es- tablished. These factors have been assumed as fixed and satisfactory. If any one or more fail to be adjusted in good time, no person can tell how serious will be the effect on the total crop.
 The planting and cultivation of these increased acreages of fall-sown grains calls for unusual effort on the part of the farmers. Plans to place at the disposal of farmers all assist ance possible, are being perfected in the U. s. department of agriculture, the state colleges Of agriculture, and other state and local agencies which cooperate in farming matters. The assistance of successful growers of wheat and rye in a campaign to turn out bumper crops in 1918 is assured.
 The state officials will do their ut most to get the acreages expected of their states into the ground. The pro- gram as originally worked out by the federal department of agriculture call ed for somewhat more than 44,000,0OO acres to be sown this fall. When this proposal was presented to the officials of the several states a further in crease was considered possible and de- sirable by them. As a consequence the recommendation for the sowing of 47, ,337, ,000 acres is made.

ELEPHANT BUTTE, N. M., Aug. 10-The bed of the Rio Grande, below the Elephant Butte dam, was dry for a brief time a few days since, when the supply of water from the reser- voir above the dam was cut off tenn porarily. The water was shut off to permit a dredge, so heavy that no bridge on the Lower Rio Grande could be trusted to bear it's weight, to be moved from the west to the east side of the stream. The dredge is to be used in cutting drainage canals in Dona Ana county. It weighs 60 tons.

while making a cali at The Messenger
office stated that the company was
about to send crew of men to this
place for the purpose Of giving their

been of the best for some time past
and that it was the purpose of the
company to put the exchange in such
shape that the service would be as good
as that provided i'll any city in the
state. He said the program mapped
out for the improvement of the local
lines would include close inspection of
all instruments and that when it was
completed he was sure there would
be no further cause for complaint
Agreeably to Mr. Trask's talk crew
of men came to Clio, Monday morning,
and began the work of reconstructing
the system. work which we are sure
will be hailed with much satisfaction
by every telephone user in the locality.

WORKINGMEN'S FARES
MAY Be PROVIDED
SUPT. CLEVELAND SAYS MATTER
WILL BE CONSIDERED
Says Company's Policy Toward Suburb
an Villages Will be Liberal
as Possible

A committee of Clio business men,
with M. G. Doyle as chairman, called
on Superintendent Cleveland, of the
Michigan Railway Company, at Sagin-
aw, one day last week, with view of
securing improved service and a lower
rate of fare for the Clio workmen who
find employment in the factories of
Flint. Mr.. Cleveland received the del
egation very cordially, and while he
said he was not then in a position to
say anything definite about reduction
of the fare, he promised to do what
ever lay in his power in that direction.
He said that some time ago the Com
pany issued mileage tickets in other
sections of the state, covering condi-
lions similar to those existing here,
whereby workmen secured special rates
of fare, but that these had been discon-
tinued and that the rate now in force
between this place and Flint was the
same as that exacted everywhere on
the company's liues. He said, how
ever, that it was the policy of the Com
pany to encourage the settlement of
workmen in suburban towns and that
its effort might be expected to be dir
ected TO that end in every reasonable
way. He also paid special compl-
meEt to the growth and enterprise
manifest in Clio. So far as service is
concerned, Mr.. Cleveland admitted that
during the busy hours of the morning
and evening it had been poor, but he
said this had been a matter beyond the
Company's $ power to correct as they
had been unable to secure the delivery
of additional passenger cars ordered
months ago. At that time, he said, ten
new steel cars had been ordered for
this division, of which only six had been
delivered to date with a prospect that
the remaining four will be put in the
service in the near future. In case it
is found impossible to make Satisfact-
ory arrangement with the electric Of
ficials, il is said there is some prospect
of the P. NJ Ry. instituting an inter-
urban service between this point. Mt.
Morris and Flint, for the special ac-
commodation of workmen and incident
ally of such others as might wish to
avail themselves of the service. Just
how much real foundation there may be
for this story we are unable 10 state.
Mr.. Cleveland said that some decision
as to the fare proposition would prob
ably be forthcoming in the course af
two or three weeks.

Beet Men Disagree

Representatives of the Michigan sug-
ar beet factories and the Michigan Beet
Growers Association met in Saginaw,
Tuesday, in an effort to adjust prices
to be paid for beets the coming season
satisfactorily to all concerned, but
after an all day session failed to reach
an agreement and adjourned with none
in sight. The factory men offered a
price adjusted to sliding scale, with
$500 per ton as minimum price and
$l.00 per ton, or fraction thereof, for
each dollar over $500 per cwt. that
sugar might bring in the New York
market during the months of October,
November, December and January,
next. This was turned down by the
representatives of the growers who
asked $500 ton, flat. or a sliding
scale based on $500 minimum price
for sugar instead of $500. The COM
panies claim that they have about half
their usual acreage contracted for any
way, which claim is substantiated by
l.. b. Fuller, local representative of
the Michigan Sugar Company, who says
he is making contracts readily at the
company's figures.
