Spear and it reaches a grand total of $2,SS0, ,831.75. Even since the inventory was made, which was as of the date of MT.

MEAT INJURIOUS
 TO THE KIDNEYS
Take 8 tablespoonful of Salts if Back hurts or Bladder bothers-Meat
 forms uric acid.

We are a nation of meat eaters and our blood Is filled with uric acid, says a weu-kuown authority, who warns us to be constantly on guard against kidney trouble.
 The kidneys do their utmost to free the blood of this irritating acid, but become weak from the overworI; {; they get sluggish; the eliminative tis- sues clog and thus the waste is re- tained in the blood to poison the en- tire system.
 When your Kidneys ache and feel like Jumps Of lead, and you have stinEinE pains in the back or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or the bladder is irritable, obliging you 10 seek relief during the night; when you have severe headaches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or rheumatism in bad weather, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast each morning and in a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neutra- lize the acids in urine so it is no longer source of irritation, thus ending urinary and bladder dis orders.
 lad Salts is inexpensive and cannot injure; makes a delightful efferves- cent Iithia-water drink, and nobody can make a mistake by taking a little occasionally to keep the kidneys clean and aCtive.-Adv.

EXPERTS OVERESTIMATED COUNTRIES
 ABILITY TO MAKE AER0PL LAEES

Washington, May IS - Admission that both military and civilian experts overestimated the country's capabin- ties in setting out in 1917 Ito accom- plish the impossible task of produc- ing 22,OOO airplanes in 12 months is made in the official history of the gov ernment's efforts to build up the in dustry made public today by the War Department. Realization of this error resulted almost immediately in the placing of contracts in France for 5,S75 planes of the Spad, Newport and Bregeut types.
 The report shows that by May 2 1918, American factories had deliv- cred 5,27O planes, or A per cent. of the ambitious program, while France had delivered 31 per cent. of the num- Der promised on that date. Up to Nov. II, total of 11,364 airpIanes had been produced in America, but those were largely training machines, fighting planes completed during the war period totaIIing only 3,328.
 Broadly stated" the history says, the United States produced for her army alone in her second year of manufacture, as many planes as Eng land produced for her army and navy in her third year"
 Organization of the manufactu g industry is declared to have been the smallest of the air services problems, an alarming shortage of cloth and vanish, or dope" for the wings de- veIOpinE at the very start Lack of an adequate supply of linen was over come quickly through the assistance of the United States Bureau of Stand ards which evolved a, special cotton fabric with a tensile strength of 90 pounds to the square inch. Produc- tiOn of this material was soon at the rate of 1900, 900 yards per month.
 Cotton proved to be not only an admirable substitute for linen, but even a better fabric than the original cloth" the report says, mo matter

walks on the new bridge which Is to span the Housatonic river. The plans at present call for but one walk. It is estimated that the additional walk would necessitate the expenditure of about S10O,000 above the former es- inmates. That it would be of great benefit there can be no doubt. With only one walk the danger from ac- cidents to persons who would be ob- iged to cross the road at this point where automobiles, and the trolley cars make such an act very dangerous would be vastly more expensive than the small additional cost.
 The property abutting on the side that is favored with the walk would without doubt increase in value while the opposite side would decrease as no one would want to reside where they would be obliged to cross the road before they could walk over the bridge.
 The property on both sides of the river is being rapidly developed into residential sections and 1t will be a matter of only few years when the walks will be necessary to accoma- date the foot traffic.

how abundant the supply of flax may
 be, it is unlikely that linen will ever

 airplane wings"
 Search fol a varnish to protect air
 plane wings resulted in the establish
 ment of 10 large chemical plants to produce acetone, the principal ingre-
 dient.
 Had the war continued" says the
 history, these new plants would have
 taken care of all American and Allied military needs, allowing the produc- tion of private plants to go exclusively to fill commercial needs.' Development of aircraft was so rapid that frequent changes in models and designs were before the service experts for consideration. At the time
 of the armistice, the whole production machinery had been, or was about to be. turned over to putting out a new | DeHaviland, known as 9-A; the Ie- l pere, a two-seater built around the Liberty engine, and the great Hand | ley-Page machine for bombing work Experiments also were underway with the Italian, Caproni, to be driven by three Liberty engines.
 But American invention was able l to bring out a strictly American | bombing plane that promised to su- i percede all other types in existence" ]" says the report. This was the Mar tin plane which, with wing spread of 5 feet, attained a speed of 118 miles per hour against 100 for the HandIey-Page and Caproni. Where the foreigners required 46 minutes to climb 15,O00 feet, the Martin craft l took 30 minutes"
 One entire chapter of the history Is given to the evolution and prepara- tions for the production of the Liberty ] engine First drawings were made 1 May 29, 1917, and the first eight-cyl- i inder engine was delivered July 4, 1 1917. Or. August 25, the first Liberty l twelve" successfully passed a 50- 1 hour test.
