 SUM PAID CoNSERvATOR

Judge James H. Webb of the supe- rior court has handed down decision dismissing the appeal and allowing and approving the conservators ac- count in the case of Alice F.. Young of Stonington against E1izabe Cole grove administrator of the estate of the late John Mason. who lived on Mason Island.
 The case was an appeal from the amount that was allowed to Eliza beth Colegroye for taking care of MT. Ma son in the latter years of his life. He died at the age of 91. The testimony showed that when Miss Colegroye went to take care of him he was liv- ing in a miserable condition in an old house on Mason's Island.
 Judge Webb writes the following memorandum of decision:(
 Upon the trial of this appeal from the allowance of the appellee's ac- count. as conservator for John Mason (noW deceased), it was expressly stat ed and conceded by counsel that the only item of the account. the propriety of which was questioned by the ap- pellant were those of the charge for the services of the appellee in caring for John Mason for the two periods mentioned in the account. the first from Dec. 1. 1913. to Nov. 1, 1916, at s100 per month, $3.5o0; the second from November, 1916, to Mason's death, November. 1917. at $100 per month, s1 200. .s5.;

The second count alleges intolerable cruelty for the two weeks or so in which the two parties Sustained the relation of hus band and wife cannot find upon the evidence a case of intolerable

IF BACK HURTS USE
 SALTS FOR KIDNEYS Eat Less Meat If Kidneys Feel Like Lead or Bladder Bothers

Most folks forget that the kidneys, like the bowels. get sluggish and cIogged and need a flushing occasion ally. else we have backache and dull misery in the kidney region, severe headaches, rheumatic twinges. tor Did liver. acid stomach, sleeplessness md all sorts of bladder disorders.
 You simply must keep your kidneys active and clean. and the moment you feel an ache or pain in the kidney re- zion. get about four ounces of lad Salts from any good drug store here. take a 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. com bined with lithia, and is harmless to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity. It also neu- tranzes the acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder disorders.
 lad Salts is harmless: inexpensive makes a delightful efferVescent lithia-- water drink which everybody should take now and then to keep tn cir kid neys clean, thus avoiding serious com plications.
 A well known local druggist says he sells lots of lad Salts to folks who believe in overcoming kidney trouble while it is only trouble.
