a dull misery in the kidney region,
sharp pains in the back or sick head
ache. dizziness. your stomach sours,
tongue is coated and when the weather
Is bad you have rheumatic twinges.
The urine gets cloudy, full OF sedi'
ment. the channels often get sore and
irritated. obliging you to seek relief
two or three times during the night
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush on
the body's urinous waste get four
ounces Of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here; take a tablespoonful in
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 flush
and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also

EBERTS FIELD HAS
 BEEN RELEASED
LITTLE ROCK COTTON COMPANY TAKES POSSESSION OF ALL
 BUILDINGS.
TO START WORK AT ONCE
Building Material Is To Be Used in Oklahoma, Fort Smith and Lit tie Rock-BuiIdings To Be
 Torn Down.

Little Rock, Ark.-All government employees have left Eberts Field, To- noke, and the Lesser-Goldman Cotton Company will start the work of tear ing down the 75 buildings to ship the lumber to other points for use. The Lesser-Goldman company purchased these buildings at an auction sale De cember 10 and the material will be shipped to South McAlister, Okla, Fort Smith and some of it to Little Rock. The smaller buildings perhaps will be used in Lonoke. It is said the houses are not constructed so as to be adaptable for residences, but they will be torn down and the mate- rial will be available for local houses, and will be sold at low prices.
 No soldiers have been stationed at Eberts Field since January 5, with the exception of one officer, Lieut.. w. s. Smith, an aviator, who was left to direct the civilian workers clean ing up the grounds.
 The government spent S8O0,000 on the field. and this sum does not in clude the machinery or equipment used for training the men. None of the buildings was erected more than one year ago. H. M. Bennett, local manager of the Lesser-Goldman com pany, said he will move one or two of the buildings to Little Rock. He said also that the governments lease on the land does not expire until June, and after that time the government has a reasonable time to remove the buildings. The Lesser-Goldman com. pany will be given ample time for removing the buildings, and the work may not be completed for some time.
