Most folks forget that the kidneys
 like the bowels, sometimes get slug gish and clogged and need flushing occasionally, else we have headache ard dull misery in the kidney region, severe headaches, rheumatic twinges, torpid liver, acid stomach, sleepless- ness and all sorts of bladder disorders.

Also get about four ounces of lad Salts from any good drug store here, take a 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 legnon juice, com bined with lithia, and is intended to. flush clogged kidneys, and help stim- ulate them to activity. It also helps neutralize the acids in the urine so they no longer .irritate, thus helping to relieve bladder disorders.
 lad Salts is inexpensive; makes delightful effervescent lithia water drink which everybody should take now and then to help keep their kid neys clean.

Raymond ISlieb Gives His Impress
 SiOnS Of Mexico

Raymond Islieb, son of Mrs Minnie Islieb of 45s Main street, has returned home after stay totalling 25 months | in Mexico City. MT. Islieb, who wal
 a student of the Spanish language
 while at home, made the visit to
 Mexico in order to perfect himself ir
 the Spanish tongue. While in the southern country, he engaged as a commercial traveller in the hardware
 business, making trips throughout the cities and towns in Mexico, represent ing, American, English, German and
 other lines of hardware. t.-|
 While there, MT. Islieb had an ex- cellent opportunity to study the con- ditions inllthe country and his opinion of the trade situation there is an in- teresting one now that recognition of the Mexican government by the Unit ed States seems imminent
 He states that business there is nothing more than fair, owing at the present time to many things chief among them being the uncertainty of the country's being recognized by this government. The exchange is so low at the present time, that the people are loathe to exchange their gold and silver money for the issues of the paper money in that country, with the result that a great deal of the wealth of the country is being hoard- ed in the homes and is not in circula- tion. It is his opinion that should the United States recognize the present government, this move would be the one thing needed to give the na- tives there the confidence that the governments paper money will be guaranteed.
 In speaking of the climate, MT. Islieb stated that it is much more agreeable in Mexico than here. He stated that the heat here is much more intense than it is in the south and he feels that people here mind it more.
 An interesting description is given by MT. Islieb of the bandit chief, Vil- la, who was assassinated recently. Mr. Islieb saw him on several occasions. He stated that he presented an un couth appearance and instead of being of a noble type more or less repre- sented the squat, peon type of lowest class of Mexican.
 MT. Islieb's linguistic ability with reference to the Spanish tongue, is almost perfect because of his continu- ous contact with the people in Mexi- co. He has an excellent grasp of the and peculiarities of the language and is an expert on business conditions in the hardware world down south. He declined to pass an opinion on the class of competition which the New Britain factories were meeting in Mexico, but stated that he often handled the goods manufactured in this city.
 MT. Islieb was an employe of the l Stanley Rule and Level Co. for a short time before his departure. He intends to remain in this section until Labor Day, and after that, plans to return to Mexico, which he terms, is one of the richest countries in this hemisphere.
