More than a hundred job holders in
Bismarck are at the present time out
in the field doing political work for
the three administration members
who will be recalled by the voters next
week. As this army marches on it is
joined by local League job-holders
in the various counties, such as game
wardens, Inspectors of various kinds
and even some of the bank examiners
find time to work for Frazier, Hagan
and Lemke. If they don't they lose
their jobs, so you cannot blame them.
According to estimates from Bis
marck, where the capitol building for
once is practically rid Of League
hangers-on as we'll as League officials
and those job-holders who have brains
enough to talk politics, there are
more than two hundred League work
ers in the field who draw pay from the
public treasury.
Let them work, it's their last
chance. When the new administra-
ton takes hold of things there is go

If KIDNEYS and

Take Salts to Flush Kidneys and
Neutrallze Irritating

Kidney and bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says q noted authority,
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass il on 10 the bladder,
where 1t often remains to irritate and
infiame. causing a burning, sealding
sensation, or setting up an irritation
at the neck Of the bladder, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night The sufferer is in
constant fdread, the water passes
sometimes with a scaIding sensation
and is very profuse; again, there is
difficulty in yoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
IL. because they can't control urina-
ton. While IL is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this Is
really one Of the most simple ailments
TO overcome. Get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from your pharmacist
and take a tablespoonful in a glass Of
water before breakfast, continue this
for two or three days. This will neu-

are subject to urinary disorders caused
by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is
splendid for kidneys and causes no
bad effects whatever.
