F KIDNEYS ACT
 BAD TAKE SALTS
SAYS BAcKAcHE IS A SIGN YOU HAVE BEEN EATING TOO
 MUCH MEAT.

When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region 1t generally means you have been eating zoo much meat, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get slug gish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; refnov- ing all the body's urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells: your stomach sours, ton- gue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges 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 good. reliable physi- elan at once or get from your phar- macist about four of lad Salts take a tablespoonful in glass oi 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 Dined with lithia, and has been used tOr generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralizt acids in the urine so it no longer ir. ritates, thus ending bladder weakness
 lad Salts is a life saver for regulai meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot lnjure and makes delightful, effer- Fescent Whitewater drink.

FIRST ROAD is APPROVED.
Golden Belt Abilene to Chapman
Now Is Assured.

The hearing on the Golden Belt
road from Abilene to Chapman this
morning showed over 1000 acres In
excess of majority of the land In
the district. The petition calls for
an eighteen foot road Of concrete or
brick with a ten foot dirt road by
the side to care for tractors. etc. The
contract for building will be let as
soon as possible. The government
will pay up to $4,000 mile; the
county half the remainder, the town
ship one fourth and the land Of the
district, one fourth. II the state
constitutional amendment carries
the state will probably reimburse a
part OF the local cost.
The commissioners unanimously
approved the petition.
The petition for the road was
signed by 45 per cent of the resident
property owners representing 81 per
cent of the land. The letting Of the
contract will be as soon as surveys
can be completed and specifications
made up, which will probably make
it about early September
The road follows the present line
OF the Golden Belt from the city
limits of Abilene to Chapman, except
that between Detroit and Chapman 1t
will be wholly on the north side OF
the Union Pacific track.
This is the starter Of hard surfaced
roads for Dickinson and Abilene and
Chapman, as well as the farmers
along the line, are mighty well
pleased.
