But Mr.. MetchnikoR was real

believed that We get to like life by
living It. He said that youth is
really the most unhappy part Of
human existence, and that only
after 20 do We really learn how to

GLASS OF SALTS
CLEANS KIDNEYS
If Your Back Hurts or Bladder
Bothers You, Drink
Lots of Water

When your kidneys hurt and your,
back. feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a
lot of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you
keep your bowels clean, by flushing
them with a mild, harmless salts
while removes the body's urinous
waste and stimulates them to their
normal activity. The function of the
kidneys is to filter the blood. In "a
hours they strain from it 500 grains
of acid and waste, so we can readily
understand the vital Importance of
keeping the kidneys active.
Drink lots of water-you can't
drink too much; also get from any
pharmacist about four ounces Of Jad
Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass
of water before breakfast each morn
ing for a few days and your kidneys
will act fine. This famous salts is
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with ithia,
and has been used for generations to
clean and stimulate clogged kidneys;
also to neutralize the acids in urine
so it no longer is source of irrita-
ton, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep
their kidneys clean and active. Try
this, also keep up the water drink
ing, and no doubt you will wonder
what became of your kidney trouble
and backache.

Our delegates who attended the
Jefferson Highway meeting at Little
Falls, last week, report that our
chance is good to land the federal
designation for the Jefferson High
way. This is a most wonderful end
to work for, and when landed the
construction and maintenance of the
same will not cost our county one
cent for the future, besides it will be
a highway worthy Of the name and
a pride to all concerned. With this
view in sight our county commission
ers should not lose a minute, but i'm
mediately bond the county to the
amount Of $4,000 in order to draw
the $4,000 federal aid set aside for
us by the highway commission in our
state, and now awaiting our favorable
action. Let the slogan be, Com
plete the Jefferson between Bagley
and Clearbrook at once"

Simon Himle and family of Monte
video, this state, is here visiting with
Erick and Christ Erickson, two
brothers.
Peter Peterson had the county sur
busy plating more lots to the ever
growing town site of Clearbrook Sat-
urday. This is move in the right
direction and we hope that Mr.. Pc
terson will not quit until he has plat
ted the whole stretch clear south to
the road, which should be done with
out delay. This will insure him nail
ing the Jefferson Highway before it
is constructed. west Of his place,
which would mean big loss to him.
It will now only be short time until
the building of the Babcock road sys-
tenn, hence it is up to Mr.. Peterson
to open up the whole of his holdings
south of town, plat the same, and add
1t to the village as Peterson's addi-
ton. This will insure him reaping
the hundreds Of benefits which will
be derived from hard surfaced road
under government supervision, while
the lots will sell like hot cake, be-
cause retiring farmers and dozens of
other people, who wish to take life
easy, will move here, but they must
have a place to move upon, therefore
this is Mr.. Peterson's opportunity to
get busy and be ready to reap the
golden harvest waiting for him in the
opening Of this addition. 1t is now
up to Mr.. Peterson to act. or his op-
portunity will be lost, as the city will
and must swing in some other direc-
ton If Mr. Peterson doesn't grasp
the opportunity at hand.

By Associated Press


 New Orleans. May 30-The cotton mar ket was small affair today, with fiuc- tuations nervous and irregular within an UT usually narrow range A holiday feel ing prevailed from start to finish and trading was plainly restricted by the holiday tomorrow in all markets, the bu- reau report on conditions early Monday and the turn taken in world politics
 At the widest fluctuations were regis tered in the early trading when, at their best. the active months were to IS points above the level of yesterdays close and at their lowest r to 2 points under. Toward the middle of the morning prices moved up to about the level of yester- days close and during the remainder of the day they did not get very far away from it. The close was five points down to nine points up, compared with the last prices of yesterday. Spots lost 13 points at g 25c for middling. July con tracts closed at 3fe7c. after selling as high as 31.eoc ard as low as 31.50c.
 The market had a steady undertone be- cause of private reports of rains here and there over the belt. while a con- stant stream of unfavorable crop ac- counts came from the interior.

GOTHAM REVIEWS LINE


 New York, Max 30.-New York today paid grateful homage to veterans of three wars-beDt figures in blue and gray who won lasting glory in the days of '6l, men in the prime of life who shouldered guns in the clash with Spain, and young sters" who experienced the awful hor- TOTS of modern war in beating back the German hordes in Flanders and France. It seemed as if the line which moved this Memorial Day up Riverside drive stepped more briskly than in years past. Perhaps it was the younger generation bronzed and rugged after its service over seas that caused aged comrades of an- other war to move along more jauntily. Thousands reviewed the column. The swelling cheers which were raised for the veterans of '9S and IT did not, how ever rob the followers of Gmnt of the honor that ever is theirs. Cheers there were for them, but with the cheering were mingled tears for that gallant blue line which on each May 30 receives af- fectionate consideration of d mighty na- ton.
 The thinning ranks of blue, growing ever thinner through the years, showed today how inevitably age must give way to youth before times attack. Khaki clad figures with others in civilian at tire, far outnumbered the uniforms of blue, as members of the American legion, turning out in full force, marched proud ly, even reverenty. with older warriors. Governor Smith, Mayor Hylan and Ma jor General John F. Ryan, with an honor guard from the veteran corps of artil- lery and the old guard of New York, re- viewed the parade at Ninetieth street.
