F KIDNEYS AND
 BLADDER BOTHER
Take Salts to flush Kidneys and neutralize irritat-
 ing acids.

Kidney and bladder irritatioas often result from uric acid, says a noted authority. The kidneys filter this acid from the blood and pass it son to the bladder, where it may re- main to irritate and inflame, caus- ing a burning. scalding 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 dread; the water passes sometimes with scalding sensation and is very profuse; again. there is difficulty .n avoiding it.
 Bladder weakness most folks call it. because they can't control urina- ton. While it is extremely annoy ing and sometimes very painful .hls is often one of the most simple ail- ments to overcome. Get about four ounces of lad Salts from your phar- macist and take tablespoonful in d glass of water before breakfast; con tinue this for two or three days. This will help neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation to the bladder and urinary organs, which then act normal again.
 lad Salts is inexpensive. harmless, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with folks who are subject to urinary dis orders caused by uric acid irritation. lad Salts Is splendid for kidneys and causes no bad effects whatever.
 Here you have a pleasant, effer- vescent lithia water drink, which often quickly relieves bladder irrita- tion.--Adv.

JEFFERSON BOOKS
 CAT AND CANARY
Absorbing Mystery Play Has Delightful Comic
 Relief

"rhe Cat and the Canary" the sem satlonal New York success. which has been aptIy described as the most exciting play eyer written" comes to the Jefferson on November 20, 21 and 22, for three nights with a Wednesday matinee.
 This is the play that startled New York theatregoers last February and has packed the National theatre in that city ever since; the play that has caused half million of patrons to shriek both with terror and laugh ter during the unfolding of the most absorbing story ever told on the stage. Although full of thrills that keep the audience on the edge of their seats, "rhe Cat and the Canary" furnishes more hearty laughs than many famous comedies, as well as the most delightful of love stories. It is this rare combination of laughter, romance and thrills that made this remarkable mystery play the instan taneeus hit that it was and that will give theatregoers something to talk about long after "The Cat and the Canary" has finished its all too brief enga cement here.
 The unusual story revolves about the strange happenings that follow the reading of the will of an ec- centric millionaire in the spooky old mansion in which he had died 20 years before the opening of the play. Scarcely has the curtain risen on the first act before the audience is ab- sorbed in endeavor to solve tn, mys- tery that from that time will hold them spellbound to the very last min ute of the performance.

London, November 4.--The recent influx of American jazz bandsmen to supply music for the constantly in creasing numbers of Britishers who have succumbed to the fox trot has had the effect of spreading consider able alarm among English musicians, many of whom claim to have thereby lost their jobs.
 Recently there have been numer- ous representations to the home secretary alleging that American musicians have been allowed to enter England in violation of the Alien restriction act. It is claimed that large number of American jazzers

NEW BEDFORD, MhssT Ju'J w.
The cotton manufacturing Industry
continued itslgradual improvement our
inc the prcscpt week. Compared WIN
a month ago. conditions are decidedly
better. though trading ia still restrict
cd and various disturbing influences
have resisted efforts 10 dispel them.
Prices this week on finished goods
have remained virtually unchanged
The absence Of any large buying has
initiated against the efforts that have
been made 10 increase cloth prices. Ihe
mills are more disturbed over the pres
ent cloth price situation than any other
single phase Of the industry. Ihey re-
gard higher prices a. inevitable ana
based upon actual values. The price
Of cotton is, now nearly double what "
was n year tgo. Cloth prices average
absut 30 p,r cent higher with this
condition prevailing, the cotton crop
outlook giyes no promise OF any break
In the futureA
There has, As matter Of fact, been
some trading this week emanating
from the realization by buyers that
the cotton situation Is not going 20 be
adjusted in the shape Of lower prices.
At present the ryade offers goods sub
stantially ~ whw they will bring next
fall. Supplies rre depleted in the
mills, as we'll AZ iunong consumers. The
buying that mus come eventually 70
meet these eRhau hed reserves cannot
be STAYED of fo2yer just because
wholesalers find II 70 their immediate
advantage 90 keep Ivriees low By max

When the buying wue dies break'it
may come with such slaush as 20 sweep
prices upward % sucb heights as 20
work an injustice 20 Nyers equal 20
that which is now beines, imposed upon
the mills.
Outside the markets, interest Of the
industry this week has ce Nered around
the consideration Of the ,Stton sehed-
ules in the tariff and the '.strike. The
extension Of the wage eduuion OF the
Massachusetts Cotton Mills Jn Lowell,
normally employing 1000, but now on
sixty per cent basis, on Paday, fol-
lowing the cut that went intos ffeet in
the Merrimsck Mills in that Gay Mon
day. Is being watched for thet Oearing
IL may have on the general sEuation.
These are the first large mills TO an
nounce wage action since the Lawrence
strike started. Gains are repor2nd by
the mills In Rhode Island and Man
chester. but the strike leaders heny
that they are significant.
The cotton market this week tas
been quiet and prices have been an.
changed for both extra staple snd
short cotton. That the New Bedfo4
mills were justified in their refususi
70 be enRulfed in the big price adyance
following the first government fore,
cast OF last week was shown by the
decline in the future market this week.

feel they can pay and only cotton that
must be obtained is being bought.
