Eating meat regularly eventually produces kidney trouble in some form CT other. Fays a wel1-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; rheumatic twinges. severe headaches. acid stomach. constipation, torpid liver, eieeplessness, bladder and uri- nary irritation
 The moment your back hurts or kid Keys aren't acting right, or if bladder bcthers you get about four ounces of lad Salts from any good pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for azfew days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com bined with nthia. 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 hTitates, thus ending bladder disorders.

WATERBURY TROLLEYMEN
 ARE TO ASK RAISE

Trouble is brewing among the Waterbury trolleymen. At a meeting of the trolleymen held last week the decision was reached to make an ap- peal for more pay.
 Manager Charles H. Cha pnan of the Waterbury lines of the Connecticut company said that he had heard noth- ing of the plans of the employees. He said that the employees in Waterbury receive the same rate of pay as Con necticut company employees in other said, were 39 cents an hour for first year men, 40 cents an hour for second year men. and 45 cents for five year men. According to an inspector the pay for inspectors is s36 per week. He told the reporter that it was the opin ion of the employees that they should be paid at least 50 cents an hour, and this was the amount they were going to try for.
 There is no possibility of a strike, according to this man. for he said the trolleymen entered into an agreement with the Connecticut company last year which holds them to the present wage rate. We are going to stick to this agreement and rely on the fact that the Connecticut company will be
 IL is expected that there will be statewide appeal made by the trolley men after the Waterbury men start the ball going. One employe stated that in the near future there would be a meeting of the state board of trolley employees, at which time a, quest for a general raise throughout the state would be framed and pre- sented to the company.

PAY DAYS ARRIVING FOR SHORE LINE EMPLOYES

The Shore Line trolley strike situa- ton remained the same Tuesday all i over the system as 1t has been since the men went out on strike at mid night on Tuesday of last week The company was making no effort to run any cars and the men were giving no indications of returning to work
 On Tuesday the paymaster of the road went to Putnam and paid off the men as is regularly done every Tues : day. Today "Wednesday he will be busy making up tn payrolls for the rest of the system. Payday in Nor nesday, as has been stated. Thursday will also be payday at Westerly and Willimantic. On Friday the men in New London and Saybrook will re- ceive their pay.
 As the road running behind on op- erating expenses at the rate of S32,o0o for five months of this year, accord ing to the statement of president Per kins, which is approximately $213-53 daily, the payroll of week has saved the road about $1,493.51.
 In the same time the 500 employees have lost approximately $12.63o in wages which they would have received at the average rate of S25-26 per week. What has been their loss has also been the loss of the merchants in the ter ritory affected by the strike for the men and their families have naturally had so much less money to spend
 In this city and in New London, it is reported that there are instances of some of the striking trolley employees looking around for other occupations in view of the deadlock over the strike.
 It was reported in New London Tuesday that Mayor E. Frank Morgan has had prepared a resolution request ing the public utilities commission to grant authority to the city of New London to take over and operate the trolley system there.
 c n hot hn oTf Tfr utilities commission has any power to grant any such authority and it is not certain that in case such consent could be obtained that it would be possible panys plant with which to operate the cars.
