Eat Less Meat If You Feel Back .s achy or Have Bladder
 Trouble

Meat forms uric acid which ex- cites and ovcrworks the kidneys in their efforts to filter it from the system. Regular eaters of meat must flush the kidneys occasionally. You must relieve them like you re- lieve your bowels; removing all the acids, waste and poison, else you feel a dull misery in the kidney re- zion, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stom- ach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheu- matic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment; the channels often 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 urin- ous waste get abont four ounces of lad Salts from any pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine and bladder disorders disappear. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com bined. with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimu- late sluggish kidneys and stop biad- der irritation. lad Salts is mex pensive;, harmless and makes de- lightful effervescent Whitewater drink which millions of men ana women take now and then. thus avoiding serious kidney and blad- der diseases

MUCH ICE AT VALDEZ " . MAKES NAVIGATION DIFFICULT

On her last trip to the Westward. the steamer Alaska succeeded in get ting to Valdez only after the greatest difficulty. owing to the mass of ice in Prince William Sound. Capt. Nord said yesterday that the ice was the worst he had experienced in twenty years. The ship had to buck its way into port almost by inches. At times progress was entirely stopped, the engines had to be reversed and a fresh start made. Capt. Nord is of the opinion that the absence of severe winds partly accounts for the unusual amount of floating ice en. counteded along the coast the past few weeks.

WILLIAM SKINNER DONATES
STRANGE GUNSTo MUSEUM
Weapon Used in Defense of New
Uln is Presented to State
Historical Society.

Our esteemed fellow-townsmen and
pioneer resident of this section of the
state, William Skinner, recently pre-
sented to the State Historical Society
at St Paul strange gun which was
used in the defense of New Ulm during
the Sioux Indian outbreak in 1862.
The antiquated weapon has been
placed in the Society's museum in St.
Paul as relic Of bygone days.
The gun has two barrels, one for
rifle use and the other smooth bore
for shot. The twin barrels are about
three feet in length and the queer
.frearm weighs approximately 20
pounds. Percussion caps were used
for discharging either the rifle or the
shot barrel.
Mr.. Skinner is 90 years old and came
to Minnesota when boy. The gun
was originally made to hunt buffalo,
but at the time of the Indian uprising
was brought into use by the owner
during the defense of New Ulm. At
that time it was considered quite a
modern frearm and did valiant service
in repelling the attack of the Redskins.

NEW MACHINE SAID TO
INCREASE WHEAT GRADE.
Sleepy Eye Company Formed to
Manufacture Wild Pea and
Foul Seed Separ ator.

. Z. N. Robertson of this city is one
Oh the lO lncorporators of new Sleepy
Eye company, which will manufacture
and commercialize an ingenious in
ventlon of DR.. J. R. Hollister and
Charles L. Palmer, two wellknown
residents Of that city, which is said to
make perfect separation of wild peas
and other foul seeds from wheat. The
other nine incorporators of the new
concern are all prominent people Of
Sleepy Eye, namely: George Berkner,
5. A. Wooldrik, Frank Scobie, Roy A.
Palmer, Charles A. Palmer, Mary
Palmer, Fred Wooldrik, G. C. Hanson
and DIR. J. r. Hollister.
The wild pea separator invented by
Messrs. Hollister and Palmer is the re-
suit of four years of experimenting and
it is aaimed for this machine that for
all practical purposes it accomplishes
a 100 per cent separation, both as to
wild peas and to wheat. Another i'm
rNAos~AAo NAe]Al11 1l1oOS 1O1 ViiS 1HV0lClOIl
is that it will increase the value of
wheat by raising the grade, as wild
peas have heretofore been considered
an inseparable dockage in wheat.
Aside from removing the wild peas
from wheat, the new separator is said
to also free the wheat from all OF her
foul seeds and foreign matter.
The new company, which is now
being incorporated, has purchased
from Frank Scobie the building oppo-
site the postoffice in Sleepy Eye and it
is proposed to remodel the structure
and install complete equipment OF
tools and machinery at once Mem
bership in the company has been re-
stricted to the 10 incorporators and
stockholders mentioned above.

VISIBLE GASOLINE PUMP
INSTALLED AT GARAGE.
Purchaser Can See Exactly How
Much He Gets by New Measur-
ing Contriva nee.

In these days o. high-priced gasoline
the motorist has more reason than ever
before to ascertain whether he is getting
full measure whenever he has the
supply tank on his car filled. He eto-
fore this has been largely guess-work,
as the "blind' measuring machines
cannot be relied upon to deliver the
exact amount of gasoline purchased.
They may vary either one way or
another, so that either the purchaser
or the dealer runs short.
This great obstacle has been done
away with, it is claimed, by an in
genious invention, known as the
Victory visible gasoline pump, which
is uaranteed to- deliver 1913 fluid ounces
Of gasoline to the gallon-and no an
ounce less. The new contrivance re-
sembles the ordinary filling stations
now in general use, with the exception
that the tank from whi h the con-
sumer is supplied is made of glass, so
hat the purchaser Of gasoline is
enabled observe how much gasoline
is filled into his su1ply tank or other
container by the filling station pump,
which operates automatically by cleo
tricity.
The first Victory visible gasoline
pump in New Ulm was installed in
the S. P. Nielsen Auto Company's
garage on North Broadway, Monday
of this week, and is now in operation.
The invention is very simple and
electric light bulbs are provided for
use at night. The installation of this
absolutely honest filling station is
evidence of the progressive spirit of the
S. P. Nielsen Auto Co. and demon
strates the fact that they are doing
their best to give their customers a
square deal.

DESTROY THE WEEDS.

The postoffice department requests
farmers on the rural routes to cut and
burn weeds and tall grass, together
with small trees along thefmaiI routes.
This is necessary to avoid snow drifts.
An effort along this line the depart
ment points out, may make it possible
for carriers to make full trips where
otherwise they can make only part
trips. Carriers are not obliged to try
to go through impossible roads. Co
operation of the patrons will bring its
returns in more prompt and reliable
service when snow flies next winter.
