Leon Bourgeois, the new president of
the French senate, is man of great po-
litical experience. He has at various
times filled the offices of under secretary
Of the interior, minister of the interior,
minister of public instruction, minister
of justice, foreign minister and premier.
Next to his interest in everything that
relates to superior education, his chief
forte has been the promotion of arbtra-
ton as a means for the settlement of in
ternational disputes. He represented
France at The Hague peace conference of
1899 and was president of the committee
on arbitration at the similar conference
held in 1907 He has been a French
representative on the permanent court
of arbitration at The Hague since its
formation, and has represented France on
various organizations advocating world
peace At the present time he is the
French representative on the council of
the league of nations

CONSOLIDATE THE TOWNS.

In discussing the statement of Gov

ninety towns in Vermont are facing
bankruptcy the Morrisville Messenger
says it believes the only hope lies in

There are ffty-eight towns in Yer
mont that in 1910 had less than 500
population EACH divided in counties
as follows: Addison Z, Bennington 8,
Caledonia 4, Chittenden 2, Essex 9,
Grand Isle l, Lamoille 2, Orange 2
Orleans /, Rutland 9, Washington /
Windham s, and Windsor 8. Many OF
these towns had less than 200 and sew
eral less than 100 population. 1t is
probable that they will show even less

IF KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache is a sign you have
been eating too much meat.

When you wake up with backache and
dull misery in the kidney region it
generally means that you have been
eating too much meat, says a we'll
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 slug
gish and clog you must relieve them,
like you relieve your bowels; removing
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-
elan at once or get from your pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take 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 acids of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for genera
tons to clean and stimulate sluggish
kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the
urine so it no longer irritates, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is a life saver for regular
; meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, cannot
iniure and makes a delightful, effer
vescent hthia-water drink.-Advt.

The new pipe line system which
many farmers are installing in their
sugar orchards is bound to increase the
production of maple sugar in Vermont
as well as in other states where it is
made. 1t does away with the hundreds
of buckets that mean so much work il
keeping clean, distributing and empty
ing every day Such a system must
save miles of travel and every farmer
who wishes to increase his income from
his trees is bound to have one sooner
or later.

The action of the Automobile Legal

Greenfeld's move toward solving its
housing problem by the formation of
a company to build additional tene-
ments sets an example which Brattle-
boro must certainly make an attempt
to follow Otherwise the tenement

worse while it improves in other towns,
and local employers will suffer even
more than now through their inability
to get help. Those conservative folk
who say that tenements cannot be
built until costs become lower belong

A Weston man purchased farm for

crease in the value of lumber in the
last few years. There is no sign of q
