been launched here by the Georgia

its organization a year ago, $50
members have been enrolled and
under it's influence more hunters
applied for state licenses than ever
before in the history of the state.

Toll to Grade Crossings Last

announced here, money prizes have

the best slogan on the subject.
1t must not be understood, railway
mem said that the accidents are due
entirely to carelessness of the rail-
roads. A large percentage of the
accidents, it is shown, are due to
careless drivers and to those under
influence OF liquor.
The railroad officials, it is point
ed out, have exercised every care
and precaution to prevent accidents
and at every crossing there stands
a glaring sign-board warning the
public from crossing without first
being certain that no trains are
near. With all this precaution TAX

it is asserted, are occurring daily
throughout the country in practical
ly every instance, it is claimed, the
responsibility rests upon the driver

which excite the kidneys. They become
ovefworked from the strain, get slug
gish and fail to filter the waste and
poisons from the blood Then we get
sick. Rheumatism, headaches, liver
trouble, nervousness, dizziness, sleep
lessness and urinary disorders often
come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache in
the kidneys, or your back hurts, or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive. full of
sediment irregular of passage or at
tended by sensation of ecalding, begin
drinking a quart of water each day,
also get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take tablespoon
full in glass of water before breakfast,
and in a few days your kidneys may act
fine
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for years to flush and stimulate the
kidneys; also to help neutralize the
acids in the SYSTEM so they no longer
cause irritation thus often relieving
bladder weakness.

delightful effervescent 1ithia-water drink
which everyone should take now and
