ferent desires Miss Weber has de-
yeloped an almost uncanny ability in
recognizing big, vital problems that
confront average America" and pre-
senting them in a vigorous style that
makes people say "she knows me-"
In What Do Men Want?" Miss Weber
has put her best effort into producing
a pulsating drama of American life
that will "hit home" to millions of
people. 1t Is story that applies with
equal force to the small outlying COM
munities and the biggest centres of
population.
What Do Men Want? is Lois
Weber's greatest picture which means
something to movie fans who recall
the popularity of Where Are My
Children" ITO Please One Woman"
Scandal" 1.-THE Blot" and other Web
er successes.
What Do Men Want?" will be the
attraction at the Amazon for Friday
and Saturday of this week.

meeting of those who attended the

was represented and the matter of the
approaching state campaign gone into
quite fully. There was echoes of the
demand for state wide primary that
came up during the recent session of
the legislature and the two factions
OF the party, convention VS.. primary.
were well represented, and while the
arguments to the point were spirited.
there was a spirit of harmony and a
desire on the part of all interested to
unite the party on some equitable
OASIS that all can agree upon.
An effort was made to bring out a
candidate on the republican ticket for
governor on the primary plan, but
that was not successful, as 1t is gem
orally conceded that Lieut-Gov. C. G.
Moore of st. Anthony will be the party
nominee for that office

LOIS WEBER's GREATEST FILM
"What Do Men Wantf' To Be Shown
at Amazon Friday and Saturday.

Opinions may vary as to what con-
stitutes the greatest possession of man
or woman, but in What Do Men
Want?" the great American drama OF
the hunt for happiness, Lois Weber,
the author and producer, gives start
ling definition of mans wants and
woamn's desires.
The hunt for happiness, the big
theme In this powerful photodrama,
concerns every man and every woman
in every town and every city in this
country. Happiness, that intangible
something that millions and millions
OF women spend years cropping and
hoping to attain, comes only with I'M
derstanding.
In every large city the newspaper
stories of divorce and separation give
proof that women do not understand
men, and that men do not understand
themselves Lois Weber understands
both, and in What Do Men Want?"
she supplies the answer to the biggest
problem in the life of every woman of
today. And she supplies it in a series
of soul-stirring events that you will
never forget
What Do Men Want?" is a big
picture, with a big theme that men
and women in all walks of life will
want to see. 1t is a bigger picture
that Where Are My Children "The
Price OF Good Time" and other sue
cesses that have made Lois Weber
famous as a producer of pictures that
entertain and moralize.
When interviewed yesterday re-
garding the early showing of What
DO Men Want?" in the Amazon
theatre, Manager Casey stated that
movie fans of this city who see this
great American drama of the hunt
or happiness would confirm reports
rom other cities that Lois Weber has
produced her masterpiece.

AS Lincoln Is Remembered.

The work he did, the sum of his
deeds and their great fruitage, may
inspire the chronicler Of our national
life and the recorder of Gods hand
writing in the annals of His world !;
but to the rank and file, who know
but vaguely the details Of his heroic
achievements, the memory of Lincoln
takes the form of a warming, loving,
saddening personal presence, a latter
day reflection of the everlasting Man
of Sorrows

MEAT CAUSE OF
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys If Back
Hurts or Bladder Bothers

If you must have your meat every
day. eat it, but flush your kidneys
with salts occasionally. says a noted
authority who tells US that meat
forms uric acid which almost para
lyzes the kidneys in their efforts to
expel it from the blood. They be-
come sluggish and weaken. then you
suffer with dull misery in the kid
ney region, sharp pains in the back
or sick headache. dizziness, your
stomach sours, tongue is coated and
when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twingcs. The urine gets
cloudy, full of sediment. the channels
often get sore and irritated, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the body's urinous waste get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here; take tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for
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 flush
and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also
to neutralize the acids in urine, so it
no longer irritates, thus ending blad-
der weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive: cannot
injure. and makes a delightful effer-
vescent lithia water drink.-Adv.

HIGHWAYS AND SNOW

Rather an interesting question as

question arises as to Which has the
better right TO road, teams or au-
tomobiles. and also whether town Of
ficials can control state or federal
roads in their district. In other
words. just who has the final say re-

GETTING INTERESTED

The residents Of Augusta are get
ing interested to learn what they
have got to pay per day for skilled
labor, for our carpenters, painters,
masons and plumbers. There seems
10 be no question but the pay of
common labor will be reduced. This
Is indicated by the fact that the
state Highway Department will in
all parts of the State ray but $3.50
per day to the common laborer. where
last year it paid SO. 1t is said that
the common laborer is seeking work
in some places at considerably less.
We are informed on what we be-
lieve to be excellent authority that
the contractors in one Of the build
ing trades made an offer last week
TO the union that If they would re-
duce their demands from $3.50 to IS
per day the contractors would re-
duce their overhead charge from 81
TO $3.50 per day. thus giving the
public the benefit of one dollar per
day. This the union men refused.
II may occur to the public. which
Is asked TO tolerate if not respect
union regulations and contractors
profits. that it also is an interested
party: that any arrangement under
which the public is required to pay to
few OF its members certain fixed
prices should in fairness be consult
cd. II also may occur to some that
citizens committee or possibly the
Chamber OF Commerce might be a
medium through which such a meet
ing for consultation could be ar
rang j.
