Kldneys then the Back nls hurts.

Most folks forget that the kidneys like the bowels, get. sluggish and clog ged and need g flushing occasionally, else we have a asbackache and dull mis- cry in the kidney region, severe head. aches. rheumatic twinges, torpid liver, acid stomach, sleeplessness and all sorts of bladder disorders.

This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is harmless to flush clog ged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity It also neutralizes the acids in the urine so it no longer irri- tates, thus ending bladder disorders.
 lad Salts is harmless; inexpensive; makes a delightful effervescent lithia- water drink which everybody should take now and then to keep their kid neys clean, thus avoiding serious com plications.
 well-known local druggist says he sells lots of lad Salts to folks who believe in overcoming kidney trouble while it is only trouble.

 In launching into the land issue, Governor Campbell first reviewed the history of the land department, under the first commission form and lnder the revised form, as now constituted lie declared the state land board had no policy and that everything was left to the land commissioner and his as- sistant
 "The reason l haven't raised my voice before against this system, was that I had confidence in it's admins tration," said the speaker in explain ing his past acquiesence in the opera tion of the land department of Ari- zona.
 Wanted Sale Postponed
 Governor Campbell told his audience that 725,000 acres of the best lane " the state mad been sold by the de- parrment TOT an average of $5.50 per acre. ne told of the effort of Clay Tannah, commissioner of the general lana office and of the secretary of the interior, Franklin K. Lane, to havesa sale postponed of lands located on the Co oil on this matter. He told of the method that he was outyoted on four to one of appraisement of state lands, under the present system and used it to ex- plain his concurrence in the sale of land in the Casa Grande Valley while he was acting governor of Arizona in 1917. He read letter, written by Lemuel P. Mathews, of Casa Grande, alleging that unfair tactics had been used by land department official in conducting a sale of approximately 10000 acres there. He declared that oftei land wa sleased for one purpose and assigned for q totally different use. He referred to the George Fay Tor incident and gave his version of the matter.
 Controlled by Cattle Lobby
 You will find every sheepman, cow man, land speculator and criminal law yer, who is campaigning on his own expenses fighting me in this cam- paign," declared Governor Campbell After charging that the Cattle Grow CTS association was raising a huge fund to defeat him, the governor stat ed that the last legislature was con- trolled by cattle lobby.
 In closing, Governor Campbell said:
 ''I say the land department has been operated for priviliged few. If I'm elected governor, with the aid of the legislature, I will see that the land code is amended and this amend ment will abolish the present board. the first two years, be appointed and from then on be elected would have on audit required of the depart ment and it's. work and if we find any fraud we will prosecute it and tne men who perp@trated it."

CUT POWER COST
 IN HALF, CLAIM
(By Unite.l Press

Winnipeg, Man., Sept. Prof J. ' w. Dorsey of the University of Man. itoba has announced, after an eXhaus- tive survey of the water power resourc- es of Winnipeg river, that he has dis covered a new method of transmitting electric power which will reduce the cost one-half He has been called to lay his discovery before the United States bureau of standards at Wash ington.
 Long before the coal fields of the world are exhausted, electricity will have supplanted coal as the universal fuel in homes and the motive power in industry" said Prof. Dorsey By the development of water power, it is possible to do away with the necessity for coal. If the potential water power of Winnipeg river were developed it would be sufficient to turn every fac tory wheel in Canada and heat every
 home and office in Winnipeg even if the temperature remained at 40 de- grees below zero all the year round. It would be vastly cheaper for Winni- peg to obtain it's electric heat and power from Winnipeg river eighty miles away than to haul coal 1,400 miles from Pensylvania.'
 It is from Winnipeg river that the municipally owned hydro-electric sys- tenn derives it's power which is sold to industrial plants at lower rate than in any other city in the world In ad- dition to the city's power plant, an- other which will cost $9,000,000 is be- ing erected on Winnipeg river at Du Bonne Falls.
