HELP KIDNEYS

Kidney and bladder irritations Of

authority. The kidneys help filter
this acid from the blood and pass 1t
on to the bladder. where II may re-
main to irritate and infiame, causing
burning. scalding sensation. or SET
ting UP an irritation at the neck ot
the bladder, obliging you to seek re-
lief 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 in
voiding 1t.
Bladder weakness. most folks call
1t because they can't control urina-
ton. While 1t Is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this Is
often one Of the most simple ailments
TO overcome. Begin drinking lots OF
soft water. also get about four ounces
OF Jad Salts from your pharmacies,
and take a tablespoonful In a glass OF
water before breakfast. Continue
this for two or three days. This will
help neutraliZe the acids in the sys-
tenn 50 they no longer are a source
OF irritation to the bladder and uri-
nary organs. which then act normal
again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive. and is
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice. combined with Hthia,
and is used by thousands Of folks
who are subject to urinary disorders
caused by acid irritation. Jad Salts
causes no bad effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, efferyes-
cent Whitewater drink which NAV

clan examine your kidneys at least
twice a year.-Adv.

Hospitals Are
Seeking Largest
Budget Increases

The State budget committee held
the last of It's hearings on last Fri
day at Portland and will now total
the appropriations sought by the
departments and institution in order
to see what the State tax rate would
be If ali the increases were allowed.
The matter of determining what
cuts should be made in the amounts
requested will then be considered by
the committee.
OF the several classes of institu-
tions receiving State aid. the hos
pitfalls have asked for the largest in
creases during the two coming fiscal
years. 1t was rather noticeable at
the budget hearings that although
the hospitals are doing as much and
in many cases more free work than
previously, their income has not
been increased and their need of n
larger stipend to meet the advanced
costs in maintenance was stressed
at the budget meetings.

Rain Is Hope of
Fire Wardens in
New England Area

Boston. Nov. with the New
England forests finder dry as the re-
suit of 81 rainless days, and with only
ceaseless vigilance holding in check
tho fires which have broken out
through the length and breadth OF the
territory, the fire wardens of New
England were hoping tonight for rain
to bring to an end one Of the most
menacing of forest fire situations In
n generation. Many thousands OF
acres of woodland have been burned
over, causing losses totalling untold
thousands of dollars.
The worst OF the fires, n woodland
blaze on Hoosac Mountain between
Adams and North Adams, in the
Berkshires. today was reported to
have been brought thoroughly under
control only after two companies of
national guardsmen had augmented
the force of citizens, firemen, and
wardens and foresters already on the
scene. A total of more than 600
acres of tall stands Of timber was
burned over, driven during part Of
the time by wind which attained a
60-mile velocity.
In Massachusetts the situation was
the worst in New England with fires
in the woodlands OF Mortified. Mont
gomery. Southwick and Attleboro
giving fighters continued trouble with
a menacing blaze in progress in the
forest on the New Hampshire line
near Fitzwilliam, y. II.
Drastic measures, including strict
hunting bans on hunting in - =
New Hampshire. Vermont and Mas
sachusetts. have been in effect for
weeks as means toward averting
wholesale configrations. In Maine
and Vermont, the situation remains
least threatening. both states having
had only occasional outbreaks which
have been quickly extinguished.
Yesterday q $4,000 loss was re-
ported from Cornish, Maine, when
flames from forest fire burned over
a tract on which 100. 900 feet of sawed
lumber was stacked.
Fires in Massachusetts, which yes
terday called out hundreds of fight
ers in Northboro, Fitchburg, AthoI.
Concord, Quincy and Mansfield were
reported checked. The latter was on
the Massachusetts Rhode Island line.
Other fires were checked at Canton.
