QUIT MEAT WHEN
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take a glass of Salts before Breakfast
If your Back aches or Bladder
is troubling you.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally, says a
well-known authority. Meat forms uric
acid which excites the kidneys, they
become overworked from the strain, get
sluggish and fail to filter the waste and
poisons from the blood, then we get
sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headaches,
liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness,
sleeplessness and urinary disorders come
from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache i'm
the kidneys or your back hurts or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalding, stop
eating meat and get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast and in a few days your kid
neys will act fine. This famous salts is
made from the acid of grapes aud lemon
juice, combined with Hthia, and has
been used for generations to flush and
Emulate the kidneys, also to neutralize
the acids in urine so it no longer causes

Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney

Shakespearean Brides,

None of the weddings of Shakes

of the display wedding that women
are said to love disturbed these brides
who all seem sadly lacking in the re-

light lines to the village. These improve
ments require an annual village tax of
so cents in addition to the town tax rate
of $40 These facts indicate that New
fame can never be accused of any folded
hands" policy.
That Newfane people are sore because
a jury case is being tried in Brattleboro
is not denied. and the query naturally
arises who assumed the authority to call
Jury and witnesses to Brattleboro to try
a case that should have been tried at the
county seat? The late James L. Martin
stated to citizen of Newfane at the
time the federal building was being built
in Brattleboro, in answer to a direct
question, that "the county court could
not be allowed to use the federal building
court room" And who pays for the use
of the building? For we do not suppose
that even so exalted an official as a fed
eral Judge would feel justified in giving
the use of the United States court room
heated and lighted to be used for county
court purposes free of charge. Are the
taxpayers of the county to pay for its
use when they already have good court
house of their own with ample heating
and lighting facilities?
Bills against the County OF Wndham,
if legitimate, are approved by the assist
ant Judges and the county clerk issues
orders on the county treasurer in favor
of payees. The county auditor audits
the county treasurer's books and vouch-
ers annually and certifies to their cor
rectness. The county auditor, it Is fair
to assume, has authority to pass upon the
legitimacy of the original claim as well
as the correctness of the voucher, other
wise there is no audit on the work of
the assistant judges, and as county audi
tor wish to give notice that if any or
der appears among the county treasurer
vouchers issued against the county treas
urer for rent of the federal court room |
shall decline to pass 1t.
Just few words in conclusion. Each
decade shows decided shrinking in pop
ulation of the rural towns in Vermont
and unless some means is devised to make
rural life more attractive the time may
come when so few people will live IN the
rural towns of Windham county that
those remaining will not be able to pre-
vent the shire being removed to Brattle-
boro. but that day is probably far enough
in advance so that the present inhabi.
tants of rural Windham county Will not
be here to mourn its departure, and as
for The Meddler, probably neither will he
live to celebrate the event.

just how large a bond issue the state
will have to make to meet the situation is
being quite generally discussed by the
members of the legislature.
The commissioner of taxes refers to the
matter of taxes and bonds on page y Of
his report, aud says:
In the last analysis there are but two
ways to raise the money to meet our Oh
legations, present and prospective, namely,
by taxation, and the issue of bonds. IS
has been well said, there is no magical
proportion covering the use of the two
sources of revenue We must raise as
much as we can by taxation, and then
borrow the rest. 1t follows that the
more we can raise by taxation the less we
will have to use our credit and the strong
er will be our financial condition.
In my judgment this is no time for
reckless experiments in taxation, or, radi-
cal or sweeping changes with resultant
confusion in tax laws. When we ascer-
tain how much money will be necessary

matter of governmental policy and sound

the added expense Of extending state pay
70 drafted men and to women in the mli-
tary or naval service of the United States,

POOR OLD CIDER GETS IT NEXT.
After Thirty Days Apple Juice Must
Become Vinegar

ALBANY, Feb lS.-Much opposition
has developed to the provisions of the
Anti-Saloon leagues prohibition en-
forcement bill requiring cider to be
made into vinegar after it has reached
the ripe old age of thirty days. The
bill says that farmers having cider
thirty days shall put into it mother of
vinegar or some chemical which will
make it nonpotable.
THE legislature shouldn't pay as
much attention to getting mother in
to the cider as in keeping the cider out
OF father was the comment of Fred
Hammond, clerk of the assembly, when
the assembly leaders were discussing
