ANOTHER CARELESS
 NIGHT TONIGHT IS
 P. s. CO. WARNING
Breakdown in Important Machinery Reduces Pow
 CT Supply of Light Plant

Pine Bluff experienced real light less night last night despite the order of State Fuel Administrator H. c. Couch suspending this war measure. Owing to a serious burn-out in an inn portant piece of machinery at the powerhouse of the Pine Bluff com pany the city's electric power supply was reduced considerably and it was found necessary to take off the street cars entirely at 7:30 o'clock last night after they had run curtaied schedule all day. The company also requested the householders to use as little light as possible in order to tighten the load on the remaining ma chinery.
 Both of these measures will be re- peated tonight, according to officials early this morning after working all night in an effort to repair the broll- en machinery.
 The trouble at the plant was caused thru the fact that one of the genera tors had been disabled for several weeks and the company had already ordered a four-ton part of it shipped by express. Word was received yes terday that this part had been ship ped. While this generator was out of commission a reserve machine was put in to supply the deficiency, but early yesterday morning a "burn out' occurred in the machine. The force of the plant and two experts of the General Electric company were put to

IF KIDNEYS AND

Take Salts to flush Kidneys and neutraIize irritating

Kidney and Bladder weakness re suit from uric acid, says noted authority. The kidneys filter this acid from the blood and pass it on to the bladder, where it often remains to irritate and inflame, causing q burning, scaldinG sensation, or set ting up an irritation at the neck of the bladder, obliGing you to seek re- lief two or three times during the night. The sufferer is i'll constant dread, the water passes sometimes with a scalding sensation and is very profuse; again, there is difficulty in avoiding il.
 Bladder weakness, most folks cali it, because they can't contrl urina- ton. While it is extremely annoy is really one of the most simple ail- ments to overcome. Get about four ounces of lad Salts from your pharm- acist and take a tablespoonful in a slasS of water before breakfast, con- tinue this for two or three days. This will neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation to the bladder and urinary organs which then act normally again.
 lad Salts is inexpensive, harmless, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lith- ia, 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 bad effects whatever.

pied. \
