DRINK MORE WATER
 IF KIDNEYS BOTHER
Eat Less Meat and Take Salts for Baekache or Bladder Trouble

Uric acid in meat excites the kid neys, they become overworked get sluggish ache, and feel like Jumps of lead. The urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is irritated, and you may be obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. When the kidneys clog you must help them flush off the body's urinous waste or you'll be a real sick person shortly. At first you feel a dull misery in the kidney region, you suffer from back ache, sick headache, dizziness, stom- ach gets sour. tongue coated and you feel rheumatic twinges when the weather is bad.
 Eat less meat, drink lots of water; also get from any pharmacist four ounces of lad Salts, take a table spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This fam ous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean clogged kidneys and stirn ulate them to normal activ- ity. also to neutraliZe the acids in urine so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder weak ness.
 lad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in Jure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia- water drink which everyone should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active. Druggists here say they sell lots of lad Salts tc folks who believe in overcoming kid ney trouble while it is only trouble.

VOTE DOWN COUNTY SEALER OF WEIGHTS

the facts if you fool away the county money you almost commit crime. It is a pure case of giving some fellow j.,b. If there is feeling to make job for some chap, rather than have the county pay. why not pay your selves. If you feel as if we must sup port a sealer, why not pay him from our private funds. He said he would give twice as much as any other mem Der there, rather than dip into the county treasury. The county is heav- fly in debt and in addition considerable amount must be paid back to holders of liquor licenses.
 MT. Geary continued. declaring: If you men vote this proposition, I'm ashamed of you, would have no con- fidence in you and would not trust you with a plugged nickel. It would be dishonest. You would be false to every sentiment of public decency, that every public spirited citizen ought to have. He said the fellows who would vote in favor of this steal, as it was nothing more, he would have no more confidence in him than he would in tomcat.
 MT. Jones of Lebanon said he moved the adoption of the resolution ! in order to get it before the body for | discussion. He declared his constit- uents were against the proposition | they did not believe any additional unnecessary expense should be placed on the county. He was against the project; he must live with his con- stituents and their friendship is val uable asset; and he intended to be honest with the people he represent ed.
 Representative Charles H. Smith o1 | Groton, who is also a county commis' sioner, said that since the meeting held in his office he would show proo by seized scales that there was nee6 for a county sealer. If there was nt
 need for this office, why was it ere ated, MT. Geary?" ITO give some fel low a job" was the reply.
 Other speakers on the resolution were: Representative George, Gros and William A. Holt of New London
 Senator William E. Wilcox of Nor
 wich; J. Lawrence Raymond of Lyme
 There was no speaker in favor. A roll call was ordered. Those vot mord of Lyme, Tubbs, Gager, Smith
 Crouch, Graham, Reynolds, Com
 stock, Thompson-9. Those who vote
 no were Senators Wilcox and Fo
 and Representative Sweeney, Geller
 McNicol, Bishop, Jones, Allyn, Hol
 Goss, Stone, Cornell, Williams, Noble
 Burdick, Lane, Chatfield and Geary- IS.
 MT Geary then moved for reconsid eration, with the hope it would no
 pass The motion did not prevail an the matter was effectively killed.

Especial to The Bulletin)


 The senators and representatives of New London county held a meeting immediately after the adjournment of the house Tuesday afternoon at Hartford, called for the purpose of fixing the compensation for a county sealer of weights and measures, to be appointed by the. county commission CTS. Representative James Graham of Lisbon called the meeting to order and invited Karl F. Bishop of Lebanon to preside. Representative William A. Holt of New London was clerk.
 Mir. Graham presented a resolution which provided compensation of $500 a year for a county sealer, to be ap pointed. Edward W. Jones of Leba- non, in order to get the matter before the meeting for discussion, moved that the resolution be adopted
 Representative John c. Geary Of Waterford said he was opposed to the resolution. He said the legislature was drawing to q close and that all members of New London county should return to their homes with re- spect for each other and retain the respect of their constituents. This is purely a business proposition and no
  orably in his own business. mo honest man would give away public money as a matter of friendship for some indi- vidual or a bunch of officials. Are we going to conduct the affairs Of the county economically, so far as we can or are we going hell-bent to create ar office for giving some fellow a salary
 Mir. Geary said there was no neces- slty for such an office in New London county, as the statutes provide tha tho office of the state police is equip ped and ready to serve the public 1T the sealing of weights and measures in addition to the service rendered b1 the city and town sealers. The repre- sentative of the state police depart nent gives this service without cos to the city or town. Yet, there art members of the general assembly foI New London county who want to talk $500 a year for five years out of ; depleted county treasury to hand ou to some useless office holder.
 Mir. Geary read an editorial iron The Bulletin headed The County Seal CT, which condemned the proposition in unmistakable terms. Judge Perr. of the state police commission at ; recent hearing was asked: What d. lthe county sealers dor Judge Perr. replied: "They draw their pay. Mr. Geary appealed to the member and said as honest men are you | favor a plan to take $500 from tn county treasury and waste it. Ther is no possible explanation of such ac tion. You cant fool away the count money without an accounting to you constituency. You will be held re sponsible for your action. If city o town sealer is inefficient there is re course to the state police. In face c
