Comment in financial circles on the
Federal Trade Commissions report on
the meat industry was more critical Of
the commissions disposition to make
capital out OF an unprecedented s!tul-
ton than Of the facts uncovered by its
investis cations. An example of this was
pointed out in an exceptionally flow
cry paragraph of the report. which
read: The combination has not stopped
at the most minute indignation. but has
gene into a stage of conglomeration. so
that unrelated heterogeneous enterprises
are brought under control" Tho senti-
ment Of financial people appears to be
that II any wrong practices have been
going on in the packing industry the

sible for such things. but they were dis
turted by the commission's loose

Ray ConsoIidated's Earnings.

Ray Consolidated's report for the
quarter ended June 80 showing net
operating profit of s2,255,2l7, equal TO
$l.43 a share, was much better than the
companys statement for tho first three
months OF the year. though below that
of the second quarter of last year when
earnings were $3.67s.s9S, equivalent to
s2.a3 share. In the first 1918 quarter
only 70 cents share was earned so that
earnings for the first six months ag-
gregated s2.l3 a share. Ray Console
dated's statement is the first OF the four
porphyries and 1t is believed in the
financial district that the others will
also show corresponding increases over
the first quarter of this year.

about $2l0,o00.o00 left OF the original

WIND STORM LATE YESTERDAY
DID CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE
DAWSON AND VICINITY.

A high wind storm which struck
Dawson Monday afternoon between
four and five o'clock, and which
was followed by a heavy downpour of

completely demolished furniture and
crockery ware. The homes of W. f.
Goodson and Reese Andrews also
sustained damages.
Some damage was done to build
ings on Mrs. Susie MERGERS Mcneil

HEAVY MEAT EATERS
HAVE SLOW KIDNEYS
Eat less meat if you feel Backachy OF
have bladder trouble-Take
glass of Salts

/ No man or woman who eats meat regu-
larly can make a mistake by flushing the
kidneys occasionally, says a well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
excites the kidneys, they become over
worked from the strain, get sluggish and
fail to filter the waste and poisons from
the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble.
nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in the
kidneys or your back hurts or if the
urine IS cloudy, offensive, full of sedi-
ment, irregular of passage or attended by
sensation of scalding, stop eating meat
and get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take a
tablespoonful in glass of water before
breakfast and in a few days your kidneys
will 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 and stimulate
the kidneys, also to neutralize the acids
IN urine so it no longer causes irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and caunot
injure; makes delightful effervescent
1thla-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications.

Chamber of Commerce VIII Take Up
With Commissioners Matter of a
Place for Hitching Racks.

The county commissioner have
been asked by the Dawson Chamber
of Commerce to let the public use
the vacant lot in the rear of the court
house as a hitching place for teams.
1t is expected that action regarding
the matter will be taken by the COM
missioners at their next meeting on
the first Tuesday in July. This space
was formerly used for hitching pur-
poses, but some time ago it was clos
ed to the public and sodded in grass.
Recently the Chamber of Com
merce has made efforts to obtain an
other site to be used for the hitching
of teams but no available place could
be found, and following a report to
this effect at the last meeting of that
body the secretary was instructed to
address a communication to the com
missioners asking that the court
house lot be again opened to teams.
