IF BACK HURTS Use
SALTS FOR KIDNEYS
Eat less meat if Kidneys feel like lead
or Bladder bothers you-1eat
forms uric acid.

Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels, get sluggish and clogged
and need flushing OCCASIONALLY, else we
have backache and DUH misery in the
kidney region, severe headaches, rheu-
matte twinges, torpid liver, acid stomach,
sleeplessness and all sorts of bladder dis
orders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney
region, get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any good drug store here,
take tablespoonful in a 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 is harmless to flush clogged
kidneys and stimulate them to normal
activity. 1t also neutralizes the acids
in the urine 80 it no longer irritates,
thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive;
makes delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which everybody should take
now and then to keep their kidneys clean,
thus avoiding serious complications.
A well-known- local druggist says he
sells lots Of Jad Salts to folks who believe
in overcoming Kidney trouble while it i

LINDSEY SAYS IT IS NOT
EXPEDIENT TO CHANGE
GOVERNORS DURING WAR

In discussing his candidacy for the
Republican nomination to succeed
himself with a representative of the
State Record this morning Governor
Lindsey said that since his original
statement, it had been called to his
attention that no state had ever re-
jected war governor" in the midst
Of war, with the single exception
of the State OF New York in the
Civil War, and that that rejection
had been followed by much disorder
in that state resulting from opposi-
tion of efforts to induce proportion
ate enlistments for the war service,
etc He further stated, that consid-
ering the extraordinary success of
war work promotion in the State
of New Mexico since Congress had
declared state of war with Ger
many, and considering that he at
least had ardently supported this war
work in cooperation with practical
ly all the people of the state, he was
unable to understand why it would
be expedient or logical to deny him
the nomination as candidate before
the people to succeed himself.

STATE TAX VALUATIONS ARE
HIGHER THAN EVER BEFORE
NEW MINE REPORT READY

A uniform mine report and a sys-
tenn of mine accounts for the use
of New Mexico companies is being
devised under the direction of J. E.
Saint by the commissions account
ant John Joerns to be submitted to
the meeting of the commission on
September 2.
The states statutes provide that
some such system of reports shall
be used, but up to the present no
uniformity has been observed in the
reports of the mining men on tax
matters. Inasmuch as the New Mex
leo mining laws governing taxation
differ somewhat from other tax laws
it has been difficult to seggregate
the proper items chargeable to oper-
alton in arriving at the tax basis.
Miners have assisted Mr.. Saint in
furnishing data as to the form of
the new report, which If adopted will
lessen the necessity for conferences
between representatives of the tax
commission and the miners which
have frequently been held in The past.
Net Gain of Ten Per Cent
The total valuation of $7,023.42S is
shown by Lea county this year in
comparison with $6,37S.2o5 in 1917. an
increase of nearly %00OO0 Despite
drought and poor crop conditions
a net gain of ten per cen, is reg
istered.
A preliminary estimate of the valu-
atoms for the state has been in
creased this year $l9700OOO, though
several of the counties have not yet
reported.

THE KNIGHTS OF
COLUMBUS Drive
BEGINS THE 18TH
FOR FUNDS TO HELP THEIR
EFFORT TO MAKE GOOD
THEIR SLOGAN EVERY
BODY WEI ME AND
EVERYTHING FREE"

/ When America first entered the
World War, the Knights of Columbus
assessed each member Of The order
sum totaling sufficient to meet
the demands of the preliminary work.
but as time passed and the needs
have Increased. it has been found
necessary to call upon the generous
public for aid in carrying on the war
activities Of this splendid organiza-
ton, which is officially authorized
by the United States Government
for war work within Camp limits.
A BIG DRIVE for funds in New
Mexico will begin on the 10Th OF
this month lasting for three weeks,
and $4,000 is the sum apportioned
to our State as its quota of $50O00.-
600 in the United States.
This drive has been endorsed and
approved by our State and Church
dignitaries such as the Governor of
New Mexico the Chief Justice of our
Supreme Court, the Archbishop of
Santa Fe. besides the Council of
Defense of the State of New Mex
leo, and many other of the most pro-
minent men Of the State from whom
the Santa Fe Council has received
letters endorsing their endeavors to
raise enough money to assist in the
great work now being done in the
United States and abroad,
New Mexico has every reason to
be proud of her record for loyalty
to these United States. in every
great emergency since she first came
under the jurisdiction of this Gov
ernment, and especially so in this
present world war. and there can be
no question about her going "over
the top" in the BIG DRIVE for funds
to help the Knights of Columbus and
in their effort to make good their
slogan "ENERYRODY WELCOME
AND EVERYTHING FREE, and
this slogan means just what it SAYS
The doors are always open. and every
man regardless of nationality. color
or religious creed are invited and
expected to make the Knights of
Columbus Building their home. and
to use the facilities provided therein,
for their comfort free of all cost.
The Knights of Columbus of Santa
Fe county intend to make house
to house canvas throughout the city
ard county. and it is hoped and ex-
pected that every man and woman
will respond as generously as their
means will allow. and knowing the
loyalty of our people for our coun-
try. and their love for our brave
boys who are giving their all for the
sake of righteous democracy. and for
the protection of our homes, we be-
speak full complete success in the
endeavor of the Santa Fe Council to
raise its full quota, and more so that
our boys may not be stinted in their
necessities. comforts, and spiritual
benefits.
OVER THE TOP is what we wish
the Knights. so that their Slogan
"EVERYBODY WELCOME AND
EVERYTHING FREE" may be sue.
cessful during the duration of this
war.
