When your kidneys get slug gish and clog you must relieve them like you relieve your bowels; remoV- ing all the body's urinous waste. else you have backache. sick headache dizzy spells; your stomach sours, ton que is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twingcs The urine is cloudy, full of sediment channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief tive or three times during the night
 Either consult a good, relia ble physi- clan at once or get from your phar- macist about four ounces of lad Salts; take 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 com bined With lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the urine so it no longer ir- ritates, thus ending bladder weakness
 lad Salts is life saver for regular meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot injure and makes a delightful, effer- vescent hthia- water drink.

Judge Warner erred in his charge to the jufy on the burden of proof re- quired to be produced by one of the
 legatees against whom undue in- ffuence was alleged by the opponents of the will. Because of that ruling of the judse in his charge to the jury the supreme court determined that a new trial of the entire case should take place.
 There were also number of suits brought in the superior court by several parties for large claims against the exeeutor Of the pr. Johnson es- tate The validity of those claims was questioned and opposed by the exec utor who had disallowed the same. There was fair prospect. apparently that the trial of those cases would entaf great exnense and would oc- casion long defay in the settlement trial in determination of the will ease would have to preeede the hearing of the eases of those partfcular claim ants. All the parties interested as Johnson concluded that all the con- trovArted matters should be If poEsi- bIe adjusted and settled among and by themselves. and they cook steps to reach compromise and settlement of all the contested matters. After ne- gotiations between them covering many months basis of settlement was reached whereby they all assent. ed to an arrangement of the whole matter. Tn pursuance of that agree- ment Earl Mathewson. the esecutor petitioned the Bozrah probate court for authority to compromise and set tie all the contest matters in accord arce with the terms reached by the narties in interest. That petition was heard by probate judge Bentley Tues day afternoon at the probate court room in Bozrah. The parties con- cerned were represented at the hear ing by Judge C. l.. Avery and attor- neys, F. W. Perkins Lee Roy Roh- bins J. Bai'ev. William H. Shields and Arthur NJ. Brown

PROBATE COURT ACCEPTS
 JOHNSON WILL COMPROMISE

The matter of the will of Dr. Ma than Johnson, late of Bozrah. deceased, came before Judge of Probate Ware ham w. Bentley on Tuesday in the Bozrah probate court where the case is pending for settlement. The exec utor, Earl Mathewson petitioned the court for authority to compromise and settle the appeal taken by Charles A. Gager and Charles A. Johnson the latter now deceas sed. from the allow ance and probate of the will of Dr. Johnson, to the superior court of New London county, where the case is still pending for further trial.
 Neither the executor nor any of the attorneys connected with the case would say Tuesday what the terms of compromise had been in disposing of the doctors estate which was apprais- ed at 11S19S.7O but it was learned that Mrs. Lucy Sullivan, who was left $56,o00 under the will would receive approximately $35, 900, that the Back us hospital which had been made res iduary legatee under the will would receive approximately $62,000, and that the. two cousins of the doctor, Charles A. Gager and Charles A. Johnson, who were not mentioned in the will are to divide approximately $S0.000. What the various other settlements were could not be learned.
 In December and January. 1S17191s, the will case was tried in the superior court before Judge Donald G. Warner and a jury and occupied the attention of the court for five weeks and two days, when the jury rendered a yer dict setting aside the Dr. Johnson will on the grounds of mental incapacity and undue influence used upon the doctor. Later at the same session of the superior court Judge Warner set the verdict of the jury aside as being contrary, as he view it. to the evi- dence given in the case.
 The opponents of the will appealed from Judge Warmers decision setting the verdict aside to the supreme court of errors. The 4dges of that court decided that Judge Warner was in error in setting aside the jury's verdict. holding that there was ample evidence produced in the trial in the superior court te sustain the Jury in rendering the verdict that they reached and that Judge Warner. should not have disturbed the jurys verdict The supreme court, however. found that
