SCHOOL MATTERS.

Work on the new school building is progressing rapidly. The eight class rooms on the lower floor are expected to be complete and ready for occu- pancy by Monday, the Eth day of October, when school is open. The board has completed the work of se- lecting the faculty with the exception of one teacher for the high school de- partment They have several appli- cations for this vacancy and will probably have secured some one fo, the place by the opening date
 In addition to the new school build ing the board recently let the contract for the erection of large residence on the school grounds which will be occupied by the principal when com- pleted. Residences for rent are near ly always hard to procure here and the board came near losing their present superintendent this year be- cause of the difficulty in securing a place for him and his family to re- side. Even though that condition of affairs were eliminated it is well to have such building on the premises so that there may always be some one in charge of the premises. Much damage to the school property has been done here during the past ten years because no one seemed to be in authority that would assume con. trol of the property.

F KIDNEYS ACT
 BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache is sign you have been eating too much meat which
 forms uric acid.

When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it gen. erally means you have been eating too much meat, says well l-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; re- moving 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- elan at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts; take a tablespoonful in glass of water before breakfast for 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 [ clean and stimulate sluggish kidne, also to neutralize acids in the urine sn |, no longer irritates, thus ending biaJde weakness.
