Somewhat Sarcastic.

Senator James A. Watson of In
diana has a story about his first law
case.
1t was out in Rushville, Ind, and
the youthful attorney was called to
defend fellow citizen against a boot
logging charge. 1t was a clear case
against Watson's client The outcome
was the maximum sentence of $500
and year in prison.
Next day Watson called upon his
client at the county Jail.
Il suppose you did all you could
for me-" glumly admitted the convict
ed man. "What is your charger
"a hundred dollars" stated Watson.
''Thats a lot of money, amt it,"
grOwled the client.
''Well, you can't get an able lawyer
for nothing" he was told.

dozen able lawyers like you," retorted
the convicted client, II would have
pulled a life sentence. "-Washington

HIGHWAY WORK IS RESUMED
Federal Aid Undertakings Actively
Taken Up After Armistice, Says
Secretary Houston.

Delayed in its program of good
roads construction by the war and
confronted at the end of that period
by a condition of badly rundown
highways, the federal government, CO
operating with the highway depart
ments of the several states, has re-
sumed the vigorous prosecution of the
work, and, says David F. Houston,
secretary of agriculture, there is now
no special obstacle to the construc-
ton, in the different states of the
Union, of those roads which serve the
greatest economic needs. In his an
nual report Secretary Houston says:
Good roads are essential to the
prosperity and well-being of urban and
rural communities alike They are
prerequisite for the orderly and sys-
temat1c marketing of farm products
Tor the establishment of satisfactory
rural schools, and for the develop
ment of a richer and more attractive
rural life. Recognizing these facts.
the federal government, through the
passage of the federal aid road act In
1916. inaugurated policy of direct
financial participation in road-building
operations in the various states. This
act appropriated $75,0O0000, to be
matched by an equal amount from the
states, for the construction of rural
post roads over a period of five years,
and $1O,0OO,O00-$1 100000 year for
III years-for roads within or partly
within the national forests. 1t re-
CURED each state to have q responsible
central highway commission with the
requisite powers and funds. All the
states have complied with the terms
of the act, although it was necessary
for them to enact additional legisla-
ton, or to amend their constitutions
to provide sufficient funds to match
the federal appOrtionment; and to
existing central highway
bodies or to create new agencies.
When these preliminary steps had
been practically completed and the de-
partment and the states were about |
ready to proceed vigorously with the
actual construction of roads, the
United States entered the war. 1t soon

became necessary greatly to curtail
highway building because of the diff.
hculty of securing transportation. con-
struction materials, and the requisite
services. After the armistice was
signed, arrangements promptly were
made for the active resumption and
vigorous prosecution of road work In
all sections of the country, not only
with a view to repair the damage
wrought by the heavy traffic forced
upon our highways during the war,
when maintenance operations were
seriously interfered with, but also to
provide adequate transportation facili-
ties to serve the increased needs of
agriculture and industry. Recognizing
also that road building activities
would furnish suitable employment
for many unemployed men during the
period of transition from war to peace.
the congress at its last session, ac-
cepting the recommendation of the
department of agriculture, appropriate
ed S209000,O0O, in addition to the $685.
100000 provided by the original act,
for the extension of road construction
in cooperation with the states, and
also made some important amend
ments to the act. The definition of
the kind Of roads that can be con-
structed was greatly broadened and
the limitation on the federal contribu-
ton for any one road was increased
from $4,000 to $4,000 a mile. These
have greatly facilitated
consideration Of and action upon the
road projects submitted by the state
highway commissions. There is now
no special obstacle to the construc-
ton, in the different states of the
Union, of the roads which serve the
greatest economic needs"

TT takes practiceu eye to discern,
i at first glance, the points that make
the new spring suits different from
many of those which preceded them.
The most apparent change appears in
the shortening Of coats. These are
more or less abbreviated, some of them
having no skirt at the front. The eton
jacket bears them company and is a
candidate for honors that seems to be
finding favor in the larger cities.
Two of the new models for spring
that merit consideration, are shown
above. An early Easter promises to
bring them out in force and compels
a selection very soon. One of these
suits, of wool gabardine in plain blue,
is interesting because it demonstrates
two of the most important of the new
style features, the arrangement of

SALTS IF BACKACHY
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Stop Eating Meat for a While it
Your Bladder Is Troubling
You.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region it
generally means you have been eating
too much meat, says well-known au-
thority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they be-
come sort of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish 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-
clan 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 acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been
used for generations 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 life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, cannot
njure and makes a delightful, effer-
Whitewater drink.-Adv.

Depopulated Nebraska Town.

Forty years ago, just as the city Of
Lowell, Neb., which was then at the
end of the railroad and had 5000 in
habitants, was about to lose it's impor-
lance because of the extension of the
railroad, shopkeeper had the poor
judgment to lay in a complete stock
of goods. The stock is still there, for
the disguised owner shut up the store
and has never since opened it for bust
ness. Lowell now is populated by
fewer than thirty persons.

here in a yellow, black and white cross
bar. Insets of white cotton poplin at
the 'front.' on the sleeves and belt, with
white pearl buttons, give a crisp. fresh
touch that looks cool. The hat is made
of the same materials with white pop
lin crown. Bingham brim and band, and
the fiat button on the crown is covered
with poplin. Finally a white parasol
with wood handle softens the summer
sunshine that filters through it, Either
white or black footwear may be chosen
for wear with morning dress like
this and the choice depends upon the
demands the road to be traversed will
make upon it.
Plain chambrays and ginghams, with
little white organdy combined with
them, make the prettiest house-dresses,
while heavier white cottons are used
with dresses for out Of doors.

fullness at the front of the coat and
the introduction of an embroidered
band, separate from the coat and set
on at the bottom. Plain skirts, shoe
top length. almost go without saying.
A few large, bone buttons, a narrow
belt and new style collar commend
this suit to the seeker for novelties.
The other suit, in a poiret check.
is another example in which the skirt
of the coat is full at the front and rip
pies all around. These checked suits
are at their best when they are plain
and this one has only few buttons
by way of ornament.
