GLASS OF SALTS IF
 YOUR KIDNEYS HURT
Eat Less Meat If You Feel Backachy or Have Bladder Trouble

Meat forms uric acid which excites and overworks the kidneys in their efforts to filter it from the system. Regular eaters of meat must flush the kidneys occasionally. You must relieve them like you relieve your bowels; removing all the acids, waste and poison else you feel a dull misery in the kidney 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 is cloudy, full of sediment; the channels often get ir- ritated, obiging you to get up two or three times during the night
 To neutralize these irritating acids and flush off the body's urinous waste get about four ounces of lad Salts from any pharmacy; take table spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for few days and your kidneys will then act fine and bladder disorders disappear This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys and stop bladder irritation. lad Salts is inexpensive; harmless and makes a delightful efferversent lithia-water drink which millions of men and women take now and then, thus avoiding serious kidney and bladder diseases.

DEMOCRATS WIN NORWICH ELECTION

Norwich recorded democratic plu- ralities on Tuesday from, the candi- date for governor all the way down through the state and local ticket, when Thomas J. Spellacy. democrat, led Governor Marcus H. Hoicomb by 1862 votes to 1725. giving Spellacy a plurality here of 237.
 When the vote in the first district was found as early as $. 45 in the evening to have returned democratic figures it was accepted as q foregone conclusion that this would be the re- suit in every district, but one sur prise came in when it was found that on the West Side there had been just tie between Holcomb and Spellaoy each receiving 33S votes. In every other district the democratic candi- date led.
 In the democratic victory, the re- publicans from this district lost a state senator as William B Wilcox defeated Albert J. Bailey, 1903 to TIP, and at the same time they lost two representatives to the state legis- lature for Patrick T. Cornell anl Joseph F, Williams, the two demo- cratic candidates respectively, boiled 1920 and 1915 votes to the 170t and 1890 cast, respectively. for George G.
 
 two republican candidates
 Judge of Probate Nelson J. Ayling, who was on both tickets, boiled the total vote cast which was 3605 or the machines and in addition to this there were go soldier votes which had to be counted after the machine figures had been taken.
 Congressman Richard P. Freeman of New London received 200 votes less than his democratic opponent, Frank P. Fenton of Willimantic. and Sheriff Sidney A. Brown, another New London republican had 187 less votes than his democratic opponent, Errol C. Lillibridge of this city.
 Just before the polls closed at 5 o'clock in the central district at the town hall, John Bowne passed the checkers and recorded his vote. Mod orator M. E. Jensen then declared the polls closed and in 45 minutes the complete vote had been taken off the machines.
 Registrars Tyler D. Guy and Cornel- jus J. Downes were then sworn in to act as counters of the 37 soldier votes in this district and while they were completing this count Moderator Frank B. Lathrop arrived at 5.55 with the vote from Norwich Town and was followed a few minutes later by Mod orator George H. Dolan with the East Side vote.
 The West Side vote and the Taft vile vote arrived together shortly afterwards, but it was not till G.45 that the Greeneville officials reported with their tally sheets
 All the machines worked without a hitch all day and the elections went off with the greatest smoothness in all particulars. AS indicated by the number of ballots cast in the first district, there was just about the nor nal vote brought out by the interest in the election for 1907 voted here out of a registered list of 2222.
 The final result on the vote was ready to be announced about 730.

A Belated Trust Casualty

The agreement to dissolve the Interna-
tional Harvester Company and discon-
tinue further litigation is the far-away
echo of tempest adjourned But it
illustrates something which never was
sufficiently emphasized during all the ex-
citing work of American trust busting.
The evils of the defendants were nu-
merous and ugly, and many trusts were
condemned and executed for wrongdo-
ing, yet people hated and feared them
and were emotionally resolved to abate
them, not for their sins but for their
power. Likewise in the case of the rail
roads, it was never so much the rates.
as SUCH that people complained of. nor
even the maladjustment of rates, but the
power of life and death held by the rail
roads over municipalities and industries.
Once we were so naive as to suppose that
the dlstracting affair could be settled by
simple distinction between good trusts
and bad trusts. That was delusion, as
the case against the Harvester trust
proved. The government in that prose-
cution recognized the fundamental pref
udce, and proposed the dissolution of the
corporation not because it was bad,
which was not even alleged, nor because
it had ever been bad, but because it
was big trust with high potentialities
for evil if it should ever turn bad The
lower court sustained the governments
contention. The defendant appealed to
the United States Supreme Court, but
now it accepts the decree of the lower
court and volunteers to break itself up.
The appeal, therefore, will be dismissed.
There appears at this point a very
curious contradiction. The government
with one hand is eliminating competition
as fast as possible, notably in case of the
railroads, in order to achieve greater
wartime efficiency with less waste, while
with the other hand it is still working to
restore it in private industry. Has the

Remaking the Federal Reserve Board

We have called attention to the fact
that the resignation of Mr.. Delano and
the expressed wish of Mr.. Paul M. War
burg that he be not reappointed take
from the Federal Reserve Board its two
strongest and most experienced men,
bers. OF the three who remain DR..
Miller, of California, was college pro-
fessor; Mr.. Harding was banker from
Birmingham, Ala, and Mr.. Charles S.
Hamlin was Boston lawyer. None of
these was heretofore prominent or we'll
known in the field of economics or
finance.
The five members of the Federal Re-
serve Board, with the Secretary of the
Treasury and the Controller of the
Currency ex offico, have now practical
control of the entire banking system of
the country. Aside from all the national
banks, some 500 or more of the strong
est state banks and trust companies
have likewise joined the Federal Reserve
system. Through these banks and
through its control Of Federal redis-
counts the board likewise has practical
and decisive control over the volume of
the actual banking currency of the coun-
try; therefore the whole question of war-
time imitation is III it's hands. There
never was time when there was so deep
a need for men Of large understanding,
ripe experience and firm character as
now. The law requires that:
ON selecting the five appointed members
of the Federal Reserve Board the Presi-
dent shall have due regard to fair rep
resentation of the different commercial
industrial and geographical divisions of
the country"
There is no mention of the far larger
need of men who have a working COM
prehension of the relations of money
and prices and of the unfortunate results
which will accrue to the country if the
Federal Reserve Board does not set its
face against the policy of unlimited bank
credit expansion.
