They are paying rs cents an hour for
81 ockers and can't get enough men
It that price. I am working for the
C.. B. 4 q. Railroad and getting
$1O7.25 per month. l sure would
have liked to have been down there

q. d. VIIES FOR
STATE TREASURER
NOrbOrne Man First Carroll COun-
tian 10 Ask State Office in Many
Years-Can BE Elected.

The candidacy of Hon. G. d. Viles
of Norborne. according to the many
letters of endorsement received by
his manager is continuing to gain
strength throughout the State. The
fact that Mr.. Viles is the first Car
roll County Republican to ask the
party for a nomination for a State
office in many years is operating in
his favor. His clean record in the
legislature, coupled with his work
in fostering the Pure Seed Law, is
strengthening him in his race. Par
ticular significance is being placed
ir the comment upon the fact that
Mr.. 'Viles has the endorsement Of
every bank in Carroll county.
Mr.. Viles has attempted to cover
as much of the state as possible but
he is financing his wv campaign
He promises, in asking for the nomi-
nation to give a clean record for
business and fair dealing during his
administration and he feels that he
is qualified to make the promise on
account of his training as a farmer
a banker and as chairman of the
House Committee on Appropriations

SALTS # BACKACHY
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Drink lots Of water and stop eating
meat for . while If your Bladder
troubles you.

When you wake up with backachs and
dull misery in the kidney region it gen
orally means you have been eating too
much meat, says q 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 sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels; re-
moving all the body's urinous waste,
else you have backache, sick headache,
dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue
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 two or three times during
the night.
Either consult a good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharmacist
about four, ounces of Jad Salts; take
a tablespoonful in a glass of 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, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize acids in the urine 30 it
no longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is a life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes q delightful, effer.

Loss OF Appetite.

AS a general rule there Is nothing
serious about a loss of appetite, and
il you skip a meal or only eat two
meals a day f0 a few days you will
soon have a relish for your meals
when meal time comes. Bear IN
mind that at least five hours shouil
always elapse gefore meals SO as to
give the food ample time to digest
and the stomach a period OF rest &c
fore a second meal is taken. Then II
you eat no more than you crave and
take a reasonable amount Of out
door exercise every day you will
not need to worry about your appe'
tite. When the loss of appetite il
caused by constipation As is often the
case. that should be corrected al
once. A dose of Chamberlain
Tablets will do it.SAdv.

Athletic interest I'm Mansfield
schools has taken on added spirit as
the result Of the occupation of the
new gymnasium, according to Sup
erintendent ID. H. Kay. The new
gymnasium Is adequate for the PRES
ent needs of the schools hero. Its
dimensions are 40 feet by so feet,
and the cost of the building was
$4,000. The expense of the erect
ion of the gymnasium was greatly
reduced, however, by the boys of
the High School. The boys taking
the vocational courses did practical
ly all of the work. The vocational
agriculture course are popular am
eng the high school students. The
class has already begun work on
their projects in poultry hog feed
ing, corn growing and potato cul-
ture. These courses are proving Of
particular value in that they keep
the farm boys in school, s%uperintsn-

Judge Argus Cox

The friends of Judge Argus
Cox, who is a candidate for the
nomination on the Republican
Ticket for Judge of the Spring,
field Court of Appeals, call atten.
ton to the fact that he has had
four years experience on that
bench and has demonstrated his
ability and fitness in every way
for the duties of the office.
He with Judge j p. Nixon of
Lebanon and Howard Gray of
Carthage were appointed by
Gov. Hadley as the first judges
of that court. These men by
their ability and industry at once
gave that Court high rank. The
dispatch with which the business
of the court was disposed of and
the clearness and brevity of
their opinions met the universal
approval of the bar and people
of the district.
Judge Cox was nominated by
the Republicans for this office in
1915 aud received more votes in
the district than either Judge
Hughes for President or Judge
Lamm for Governor, thus dem.
onstrating his strength as a can.
didate. He was declared elected
and received q commission OF
office, but his election was con
tested and after he had served
six months, was unseated by a
decision of the Supreme Court
in which only four judges con
Cured while three dissented.
Judge Cox, therefore, has a
strong claim upon the support
of Republicans in the primary
and without saying anything tc
discredlt any other candidate, il
is but fair to Judge Cox to say
that his nomination will add
strength to the ticket, and his
election, which is sure to follow
will guarantee to the people OF
the district the services of ar
able, industrious, upright anG
impartial Judge.

hurt the Frencbman so that he dropped

But all OF the punches were legitimate,

That Ledoux Is a tough little fellow
was proved without the semblance OF
