Order Misunderstood, According to information given out by the postal department at Washing- ton there is evidently some misunder- standing over the proposed changes in the Toutes of the rural carriers. The changes are scheduled to become effective on June 1, a month’s delay | having been ordered because of pro- tests made in various parts of the county. There seemingly is a belief in the section of Farmington which is to be included in the route of the Plain- ville carrier that mail sent to them will have to be addressed to the Plainville office This, the depart- | ment advises is a mistake, as the new order simply means that the Plain- ville postman will get the mail from LESS MEAT IF BACK AND KIDNEYS HURT Talke a glass of Salts to flush Kidneys | if Bladder bothers you—Drink lots of water. meat regularly eventually produ kidney trouble in some form or other, says a well-known authority, beca >t uric actd in meat excite: the kidneys, they become overworked; get sluggish; clog up and .ause all sorts distre particularly bach- ache and misery in the kidney region: | rheumatic twinges, severe headaches, acid stomach, constipation, torpid liver, sleeples bladder and urin- ary irritation.
