GREAT CHIMES
Will RING OUT
PEACE CLARION
Signing of Peace Treaty Will
be Announced by Westmin-
ster Bells.

LONDON. April II. - The new
chimes that are to ring out a clarion
of peace from old Westminster's tow.
er on the day the great peace treaty
OF the nations is signed at Versailles
are being swung In the bell-tower Of
the old cathedral.
Four in all. the newly fashioned
bells have been provided to complete
the ancient chimes Of Westminster,
silent through the war because Of
the cracking of some Of the original
bells and the scarcity Of metal which
denied replacement.
One Of the new bells is founded
from the metal of an old one, about
which legend says when the Spanish
armada was scattered by Sir Francis
Drake. this bell added its booming
note to the chorus which rocked old
London of Queen Bess's time. The
other three were cast Of new metal
at foundry at Whitechapel.
When these new peace bells Of
Westminster were being wrought
King George and Queen Mary, &C.
companied by the Princess Mary and
the Dean Of Westminster, paid visit
to the foundry and met the workmen
who were putting the finishing
touches on the great bronze clarions.
The largest of the four Westmin-
ster bells is known as Kings bell,
and bears this inscription:
"The Lord of Hosts Is with U.s."

LESS MEAT IF BACK
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Take a glass Of Salts to hush Kid
neys n Bladder bothers you-
Drink lots Of water.

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble In some form
or other, says a well-known authority.
because the uric acid in meat excites
the kidneys, they become overworked;
get sluggish; clog up and cause all
sorts of distress, particularly backache
and misery in the kidney region: rheu-
matte twinges. severe headaches, acid
stomach, constipation, torpid liver,
sleeplessness, bladder and urinary
irritation.
The moment your back hurts or hd-
neys aren't acting right, or II bladder
bothers you. get about four ounces OF
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy:
take a tablespoonful in glass of wa
ter 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 hthia. and has been used
for generations to flush clogged kid
neys and stimulate them to normal
activity; also to neutralize the acids
in the urine so it no longer irritates,
thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which millions Of men and
women take now and then to keep the
kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus,
avoiding serious kidney disease.-Adv.

When the first returns came in, 1t
seemed likely that 1t would be a neck

the Thompson tide set in. Every

BATES HOLDS
COUNTY GOOD
ROADS MEETING
State Highway Commissioner
Holds Session in Bennington
ROAD PROBLEMS SERIOUS
II Is Necessary That All Newly Con-
structed Bridges Should Be Able to
Sustain Weight of is Tons

A county meeting for all town Off
cials interested in good roads was
held Tuesday afternoon in the county
court room. The bad travelling kept
many away from the meeting, but
nearly fifty we're in attendance. All
towns OF the county except Sandgate,
Woodford, Landgroye and Winhall
were represented.
The meeting was in charge Of State
| Highway Commissioner S. b. Bates,
assisted by County Commissioner J..
l.. Davis. The address of Mr. Bates
was full of information on the sub
jects of patrol work, resurfacing,
maintenance, state aid on bridges,
and new construction
Mr.. Davis gave some valuable hints
on building roads for durability, and
emphasized the Importance OF
thorough work He also told of the
standards being used by engineers.
Questions were asked by those
present and an informal discussion Of
good roads was INDUCED in for half
y
an hour.
Mr.. Bates emphasized the necessity
of being sure that all newly-construct
ed bridges should be able to sustain
a weight OF IS tons. In building state
roads, they should be completed as
far as they arc startod-there should
be no skipping Great care should
be used in leaving unfinished work at
night on Sundays. Precautions
should be used TO avoid accidents
and lanterns should bo used freely to
assist in making the unfinished work
safe and add to the convenience OF
travellers.
One fact seems firmly established
in the minds of ALL and that Is that
road construction and maintenance IS
getting 10 bo a very serious problem
