Eating too much meat may produce

says q well-known authority, because
the uric acid excites the kidneys. they

clog up and cause all sorts Of distress.

stipation, torpid liver. sleeplessness,

The moment your back hurts or
kidneys aren't acting right, or if blad-
der bothers you. get about four
ounces Of Jad Salts from any good
pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a
glass Of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys may 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
clogged kidneys and stimulate them
to normal activity; also to neutralize
the acids in the urine so that it no
longer irritates, thus often ending
bladder disorders.

and shrivelled old ladies with eye

Viola Dana in Irwin Cobb's Story

One Of the most delightful screen
offerings Of the year is THE Five

Miss Dana was never more mirth-

role. AS a rough and ready child of
thirteen, brought up by a Jewish
pawnbroker. she is highly amusing in
the earlier scenes Of the play.
The story is that of a baby who is

who pawns her for five dollars. The

lends money on anything" decides
to rear the child himself. When.

listing provisions of statute inconcist-
ent Herewith" thus attempting to
give the sea and shore Fisheries
Commission authority to repeal an
existing statute. There is no such
clause in any part of the Inland
Fisheries and Game laws, hence every
part of them is constitutional.
This explanation is made in an
swer to the many inquiries from the
friends of fish and game as we'll as
some of the would-Ee poarchers who
would be glad to have the law de-
clared unconstitutional. The Sea and
Shore Fisheries law, except the above
clause, was upheld and the petition
dismissed, as the case shows, but in
view of the fact that such a wrong
impression prevails with many and
the woods are rapidly filling with
hunters, some of them near the
Katahdin Park Game Preserve, and
other territory closed by the Com
missioner, it may be we'll to publish
that part of the decision of the law
court in the above case which up
holds the law and shows clearly that
a law authorizing the Commissioner
to pass rules and regulations is con-
stitutional.
1.-THE opinion was drawn by Justice
A. NJ. Spear and concurred in by the
other members of the Court. The
Court says:
"The only unconstitutional act
contemplated by the last clause of
Section is entirely independent of
the rest of the sections and will
arise only when the Commission I'M
dertakes to promulgate rule or
regulation that is inconsistent with
an existing act Of the Legislature"
That part of the opinion touching
upon the authority of the Commits
sion to issue rules and regulations
reads as follows:
while the power to make laws
may not be delegated to a board or
| commission, it is nevertheless true,
a general policy of regulation and
control having been adopted ty the
Legislature. that the delegation of
regulations in accordance with the
spirit and purpose of the Legislative
will, has long been held to be proper
and no infringement on constitutional
limitations II r. c. L. 1912. Sec. 90
In support of the above conclusion
may also be cited State vs.. Dodge III
Maine. 269. in which a lucid expo
! sition Of the general doctrine may be
| found.

cause much unfavorable comment
among those persons who are seek

that the time has come when stand
