heard the Chief Director of
Emergency Car Service discuss
at length, by long distance tele-

head Office of the Chesapeake &
Ohio Railway Company at
Richmond, Virginia, and then
was positively assured by him
that relief would be given with

cars there; L have absolutely
: no doubt about the matter and
feel sure this week will see the
end of the congestion at our
tobacco warehouses.
EARL w. SENFF
+
Owing to the car shortage it is
estimated that fully one million
pounds of tobacco has been sold at
other markets that would have been
sold over the floors of our loose
leaf warehouses. Every effort has
been made to secure ears and at the
suggestion of the warehousemen
County Judge Earl w. Senff left
Saturday night for Washington,
d. c., in the hope that by laying
the facts before the proper author
tiles he could secure relief in the
ear shortage. The warehouses; now
have over one thousand hogsheads
of tobacco ready for shipment and
all floors are full and wagons are
lined up waiting to be unloaded as
soon as room can be provided.
The congestion is hurting our
market very much and it will take
at least 100 ears to relieve the
situation.
The A. R. Robertson Tobacco
Warehouse last week started haul
ing loaded hogsheads to Lexington
on auto trucks and in this manner
have helped the situation some al
though that manner of moving to-
bacco is very expensive.

SALTS IF BACKACnY
And KIDNEYS HURT
DRINK LOTS OF WATER AND STOP
EATING FOR A WHILE IF YOUR
BLADDER TROUBLES YOU.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region,
it generally means you have been eat-
ing too much meat, says a we'll known
authority. Meat forms uric acid, which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood, and they
become sort Of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog, you must relieve them, like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste. else you have
backache. sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather Is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy.
full of sediment, channels often, get
sore. water scalds and you are obliged
to seek relief two or three times during
the night.
Either consult good. reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharma-
cist about four ounces Of Jad Salts;
take 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 genera
lions to clean and stimulate sluggish
kidneys also to neutralize acids in the
urine, 80 1t no longer irritates, thus
ending bladder weakness.
JJad Salts is life saver for regular
meat eaters. It Is inexpensive, can not
injure. and makes delightful, effcr-
vescent lithia- water drink.

Des Moines, Jan. 22,-With reserve
stock Of coal in Iowa getting low and
the shipment of coal into the state ex-
ceedingly difficult the state fuel ad-
ministration expects to issue it's order
carly this week cutting down business
hours turnout the state. The stores
may be ordered to close at o'clock,
the big office buildings at Moons on
Saturday. the school houses to shut
down from Saturday to Monday, and
all lines Of business to observe shorter
hours
Recommendations will be issued
along with the orders that churches
hold union services, dispense with mid
week meetings and that lodges give up
their meetings during the period Of
cold weather. Theaters will be regula-
ted, moving picture houses ordered to
DO with less lights. pool halls and
bowling alleys will be required to uper-
ate on short hour schedule.
Order Already Drawn.
Assistant Fuel Commissioner NJ. A.
Potter has already drawn UP an order
along the above lines. He will SUI
NIT this to Administrator Webster for
approval and it is expected that the
order will go out about Wednesday.
The plan is to have these short hour
rules in operation up to the first Of
March
An old-fashioned January thaw
would be a wonderful help right now,
the coal men and fuel administrators
all say. If there can be a letting up
ION the consumption of coal it will give
the operators a chance to meet the
heavy demand.
The order cutting down the business
hours will be enforced thruout the state
by local fuel committees the state ad-
ministration declares. He says it should
result In a general speeding up OF
business so that the usual amount of
busin ess could be done in shorter time.
The public always adjusts itself to
these hours, it is pointed out. and can
always do its business in business
hours as fixed by the business con-
Germs.
