IF KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says 6aekaehe is Sign You Have
Been Eating Too Much Meat

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat. says a we'll
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:
removing 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 20
seek relief two or three times during
the night.
Either consult a good. reliable ply
sician at once or get from your phar-
macist about four ounces Of Jad
Salts: take a tablespoonful in a glass
of water before breakfast for a 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 to clean and
stimulate sluggish kidneys. also to
neutralixe acids in the urine so 1t no
longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.

purple and there was big hole in
the back of his head. He wac taien
in a touring car to the Weber hos

the artists on the bill with the dane
err, who had invited them to go to
the beach and witness his feats. DR..

CORRECTS SEVERE
NERVOUS DISORDER
Connecticut Man About Ready to

Don't grow depressed because you

nervous disorders. Depression neu-

retards recovery. Frequently the
failure of the blood to carry the re-
quired ncurishment to the nerves.
The nerves receive their strength d.
rectly from the blood and in no other
way and once the blood becomes thin
and weak the nerves refuse to func-
ton naturally. The logical treatment
of nerve disorders is to renew the
blood.
One Of the most successful. treat
ments in some of the most serious
nervous diseases has been the use of
the tonic which Mr.. Harry LaFrancis.

his experience as follows:
MY trouble started with numbness
in the feet and the numb feeling
gradually went up the limbs to my
hips. This was accompanied by pains
that were almost unbearable. The
pains were so bad that at times I
couldn't sleep and often would have
to get out of bed the agony was so
intense. When the disease reached
my spine if affected my limbs so that
l could not walk right. There was
poor circulation in my legs and they
were colorless. I could no. bear the
weight Of the bed clothes on them.
MY nerves seemed to witch. my
appetite was very poor and I could
hardly eat anything. My eyes were
also affected. was told that l had a
form Of paralysis bordering on loco
motor ataxia.
Pills in a newspaper and after I had
taken three boxes I noticed that my
appetite was better and my nerves
quiet. I was encouraged and con-
tinued the treatment and the result
was most gratifying. l can feel a cir
culation in my limbs and can walk
much better. I certainly have great
faith in DR.. Williams Pink Pills for

The Hun After Business,

A dispatch from Coblenz notes that
an examination Of mail matter writ
ten by Germans to neutral and allied
countries reveals lack Of appreciation
on their part of the feeling existing
toward them in the civilized world.
They assume that they will be able to
pick up business relations where they
were broken off in 1914 just as if
nothing had happened.
1t may be that the Germans are as
dense as this correspondent gives
them credit for being. but it seems
doubtful. 1t is much more like them
to deliberately employ this attitude
for the purpose Of getting results.
They solve the problem by seeming
to ignore 1t. II they came to the
average business man with an
I-know-I-d don't deserve il -but-won't-
you-help-me attitude how much
sympathy. and how much business
would they get? BY emitting all
reference to the late unpieasantness
and by holding out attractive propo.
sitions. they may expect to win some
men whose vision is wholly bounded
by profit from whatever source. So
many lessons OF the war have not
been learned that the Germans count
on some measure of success in even
this audacious scheme.
Little leaks from the peace confer
ence itself bear damning evidence
that business interests are behind
much that is and is not being done
there. and explain some Of the fail

The State Park

The, Legislature of 1919 appropri-
ated $4,000 for the year 1919 and $4,000
for the year 1920. for the purpose OF
improving the State Park located be-
tween the State House and the Ken
nebec river. Last season a portion
OF this park was utilized for war gar
dens. We are informed that some OF
those who had war gardens on this
park last year are urging the defer
ring Of improvements for this year
in order that they may cultivate the
same garden plots again this season.
We can hardly believe that anyone.
when the whole situation is under
stood, will be found SO lacking to
io-ego the trifing personal incon-
venience necessary in consideration OF
the great public good this improve
ment will bring 10 Augusta. Plenty
Of other good land is available for
gardens on the trotting park, which
joins the State Park.
Public spirited citizens Of Augusta
have for some years been endeavor-
ing to get this State Park improved
SO that it may be q credit to Angus
ia and the whole State. During Gov
ernor Plaisted's administration a lib
eral appropriation was made and
every Legislature since. except that
Q: 1917. has made an appropriation
FOR the improvement. OF this State
!'a-i.
The money heretofore appropriated
has been used largely for necessary
present time been possible to make
landscape Improvements, which are
quite necessary in order that the
park may be what it should be.
A resolve was introduced at the
beginning Of the present Legislature
asking for $4,000 for 1919 and $1,000
for 1920. The legislative committee
unanimously reported a resolve ap-
propriating the full amounts asked
for. and the matter was acted on ia.
vorably by the Legislature. The re.
solve further provided that the
money should be expended under the
direction of the Governor and Coun.
Gil. By q law passed in 1911 ParE
Commission was established TO have
charge Of the State Park. Undoubt.
eddy. therefore. this work will be
done under the combined supervisic1
Of the Governor and Council and The
State Park Commission.
The State Park is one Of the mos,
prominent locations in Augusta
Properly improved it can be made
beauty spot and one that every citi.
zen will point to with pride. 1t has
been already too long neglected. anc
We hope those having the matter II
charge will lose no unnecessar,
time in starting contemplated i'm.
