Third army championships were de

BRIDGE PURCHASE pIsAppRovso
Corporation Would Not Reduce Price
of $4,000.

Montpelier, Jan. 3.-Gov. P. w. Gle,
ment stated Thursday afternoon that
he had declined to approve the pur-
chase of the toll bridge between Wat
erford and L'ttleton because Of the
fact that the state engineer found, up
on investigat on, that the bridge has
carrying capacity OF only four tons.
which is not enough to warrant YER
mont paying $4,000, and year or so
afterward learn there is need of
stronger bridge to carry the heavy au
tomobile traffic across the bridge. He
made an effort to have the corpora
ton that owns the bridge reduce their
price of $4,000 but they would not
do 1t, SO there the matter stands.

You must relieve them like you relieve your bowels; removing all the acids, waste and poison. else you feel dul misery in the kidney region. sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheuma- tic twinges. The urine is cloudy. full of sediments; the channels oft en get irritated, obliging you to get up two or three times during the night.
 To neutralize these irritating acids and flush> off the body's urinous waste get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in glass of water before breakfast for few days and your kidneys will then act fine and bladder disorders disappear.
