The urine gets cloudy. full of sediment, the channels often get sore and irritated, obleing you to seek relief two or three times during the night.
 To help neutralize these irritating acids; to help cleanse the kidneys and flush off the body's urinous waste, get four ounces of lad Salts from any pharmacy here.

Poison used in supressing the Ar genuine ant will be placed Wednes- day, which will be the first-move- ment in the campaign for the elimi- ntion of these household pests. &C., cordins to D. E. McLendon. president of the city commission. c. NJ. Seay who has been in charge of three campaigns in the state will have di- recton of t!e 20 crews used in the work. under the supervision of w.. E.

 Four foremen and 2S laborers will be employed Two tracks from the street department will be used for the poison to the various section of the city where the ant has been found, One thousand eighteen hum dreds Nifty gallons of poison has been ordered and this will be disrib- uted througout the city in fifty-five thousand cans. These ants have been found from north rmingham to Red Mountain and from East Lake to Ensley.
 Mir. Kinds was authorized to con- tinue the work at a conference held with the city commission recently when an additional $2,950 was granted to carry out the program. He made a survey of the city during last November, and believed the work could be completed for s1,600 b-t a closer survey of the situation was completed two weeks ago, at which time he stated these ants have been found in 3S localities. This condition called for much larger program and additional appropriations, which was agreed to by the commission.
 It is expected the camapign can be completed, within two weeks, which means the placing of the poison in all infested areas.1 The posion is very mild, but when the worker ants carry it back to the quec~s and the young they die within ten days, and the workers died from the effects within two weeks ,;me

LIGHT AND WATER. METERS INSTALLED IN N. B|RM|NGHAM
City Commissioners InveSti- gate Needs of That
 Division

Work on the installation of S00 new light meters and 1000 water meters for the residents of North Birmingham will be started immedi ately, according to an announcement Saturday afternoon by W. L. liar rison, commissioner of public utiu- tiSs, and new l2-inch water main, which will be carried to the center of distribution of that suburb, will be begun as soon as the order for pipe can be filled, which is esti- mated to be within 50 days. The co-t of the work is estimated to be ap- proximately s6O.0O0, of which $35 GOO will be appropriated immediately, and the balance to be used as -Ieces- sary to continue the work
 After complete survey of the plants at North Birmingham between Commissioner Harrison and C. M. Baker, superintendent of the mu- nclpal light and water department, it was decided that many improve ments. would have to be made to have the plant put on a sound busi- ness basis and to serve the con- sumers satisfactorily. Saturday aft ernoon Mir. Baker submitted re- port to Commissioner Harrison stating the needs of the stations. City Breaks Even.
 During the past few years the city has been breaking even on the water contracts of the section and during the last five years approxi- mately S6e000 has been derived from the electric meters, but 1t was the aim of Commissioner Harrison to place the plant on business plan, where the people could have satis- factory service. With the placing of the new meters and all on d meter basis. 1t is believed that the revenue to the city will be ..rac- tically doubled. Both wator and lfght meter rates will be on par with rates which are being charged ill Birmingham proper.
 Eight hundred new electric light meters will be installed in homes and stores where there are none at pres ent and in those where the meters have failed to work. The meters will be installed in same conditions. Dur ing the past some of the residents of North Birmingham have been pay ing a flat rate of 75 cents per onth for electricity and s2.25 for water per Quaeter. With the placing or the new meters every one will be call for the serving both of water and electricity to North Birmlng- ham, Acipco and Fairmont.
 rl.c. New Main.
 owing to the necessity. of water supply in that suburb, the new main will run parallel to the eight-inch main which has been serving in the past, and will care for added demand for water, not only remedying the poor service and pressure, but will insure ample protection for fires and will care for the expansion of the suburb during the coming years.
