A bridge crossing this stream at the south end of the glen is in danger and probably cannot be saved. The ice and torrent created by the thaw make a scene never be- fore witnessed there.

 Water Under Bridge.
 A number of the citizens of Berlin are complaining about the conditions of walking under the railroad bridge after there has been a thaw Today, as is the case every other day when there is any melting on the tracks above, those passing under the bridge were treated to a shower bath. There was much agitation in past to secure some relief from the railroad to pre- vent this. but so far nothing has been done. Som mething in the form of a pan to catch the water should be pro- vided, and in this way protect those who must of necessity pass under the bridge.

SIZES FOR 5000

Developments in the cases against
Harry NJ. Bretz. the attorney charged
with embezzlement and false pre-
tense, took a new turn to-day when
Fox & Geyer. attorneys for Lucy
Early, issued execution on mort
gage bond against William Fl. and
Agnes A. Windsor for $4,000. Mr..
Windsor alleges he paid money to
Bretz as the woman's attorney and
that Bretz did not pay ii to he. He
used these statements in his prose-
cution of the lawyer. Bretz was con-
victed on four embeZzlement charges
but motions for new trials have been
made. The Early woman denies that
BretZ was her lawyer and through
counsel is endeavoring to get her
money, stating that so far none has
been paid to her. 1t is likely that the
Windsors will ask the Court to open
judgment and prevent a levy on his
property. in which case jury trial
would follow.

IF BACK HURTS
BEGIN ON SALTS
Flush your kidneys occasionally
if you eat meat
regularly.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally,
says a well-known authority Meat
forms uric acid which clogs the kid
ney pores so they sluggishly filter or
strain only part of the waste and
poisons from the blood, then you get
sick. Nearly all rheumatism, head
aches. liver trouble, nervousness,
constipation, dizziness. sleeplessness,
bladder disorders come from slug
gish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache
in the kidneys or your back hurts,
or if the urine is cloudy. offensive
full of sediment. irregular of pass
age or attended by a sensation of
scalding, get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any reliable phar-
macy and take a tablespoonful in
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 clogged kidneys and stimu-
late them to activity, also to neutral
ize the acids in urine so it no longer
causes irritation, thus ending bladder
disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure: makes a delightful effer-
vescent lithia-water drink which all
regular meat eaters should take now
and then to keep the kidneys clean
and the blood pure, thereby avoiding
serious kidney complications.

A Dead Stomach
OF What Use Is It?

Thousands? yes hundreds OF thou
sands OF people throughout America
are taking the slow death treatment
daily.
They are numbering their own
stomach, the best friend they have
and in their sublime ignorance they
think they are putting aside the laws
of nature.
This is no sensational statement; II
is a startling fact. the truth OF which
any honorable physician will not deny.
These thousands of people tire swal-
lowing daily huge quantities OF pepsIn
and other strong digesters, made es-
pecially TO digest the food in the
stomach without any aid at all from
the digestive membrane OF the stom-
ach.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets relieve dis
tressed stomach in five minutes; they
do more. Taken regularly for a few
weeks they build up the rundown
stomach and make IL strong enough
10 digest its own food. Then indiges-
tion. belching. sour stomach and head
ache will go,
Mona stomach tablets are sold by
druggists everywhere and by H. {.
Kennedy. who guarantees them.-Ad-
