GLASS OF SALTS IF YOUR KIDNEYS HURT Eat less meat if you feel Backachy or have Bladder trouble— Salts fine for Kidneys. Meat forms uric acid which excites and overworks the kidneys in their ef- forts to filter it from the system. Reg- ular eaters of meat must flush the kid- neys occasionally. You must relieve them like you relieve your bowels; re- moving all the acids, waste and poison, else you feel a. dull misery in the kid- ney rezion, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather is bad you hnave rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment; the channels often get ir- ritated, obliging You to get up two or three times during the night. To neutralize these irritating acids and flush off the body’s urinous waste get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take a table- spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine and bladder disorders disappear. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate . sluggish kidneys and stop bladder irritation. Jad Salts is inexpensive; harmless and 'makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which millions of men and women take now and then, thus avoid- ing serious kidney and bladder dis- eases. NAVAL VESSELS IN PACIFIC ARE WHOLLY INADEQUATE Admiral Winslow Says Entire Fleet is Not Equivalent to One Good Bat- tleship. Washington, Feb. 24—While the house military committee was taking steps today toward getting its bill for increasing the regular army and fed- eralizing the national guard before the house within ten days, the naval committee was being informed by Ad- miral Cameron McR. Winslow that the entire Pacific fleet, which he com- mands, might be an easy victim for a single good enemy battleship. Admiral Winslow made the state- ment smilingly. Pressed by Repre- sentative Stephens of California for an exact description of the condition of the ships under his command, he said the force was wholly inadequate, even with all its reserves called out, to meet any probable enemy in the Pacific. What plans the navy depart- ment had for meeting an emergency there or in the Atlantic, however, he said, were matters of strategy which he did not care to reveal except in confidential session. Representative Stephens agreed that this discussion should be postponed but sald he had many questions stil! to ask regarding the Pacific fleet. He will pursue the subject tomorrow.

While the symptoms are similar to those of ordi- nary indigestion, yet the medicines usually prescribed ‘do not restore the patient’s normal condition. There seems to be a kind of dyspepsia caused by derangement of the female orgenism. While this appears to be the same as ordinary indigestion it can be relieved only by a medicine which, be- sides acting as a stomach tonic, is good for female ailments. Read what such & medicine did for Mrs. Williams :— She says: — ‘“Before I began taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- pound I was trou- | | bled with dyspepsia lland bearing down i pains in my back || and sides, and after my meals my stom- ach would bloat up till I eould scarcely 1 get my breath. At ’»,g;{k times I was so weak sitx I could hardly stand jon my feet and I looked hollow-eyed and my skin was yellow. Now I have a good color, have gained in every y and can do my work without any s.

Burrows Still Missing—Sliver May Re- sult in Amputation of Finger—Real Estate Transfers. The inheritance tax is now in force in Rhole Island, as the act was sign- ed by Governor Beeckman at 1245 Tuesday ncon, and immediately there- after became law. It provides for a tax of half of one per cent. on the net value of all estates over $500, also a tax at the same rate on the value of each share of an estate taken by any person. But if such a share goes to a grandparent, parent. husband, wife, child, brother, sister, nephew, niece, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, or any adopted child, it will not be sub- ject to a tax, except upon its value in excess of $23,000. If the share goes to any other rela- tive or to a stranger the tax will be on the value of the share above $1,000. So that the estate of a person distrib- uted to his widow and children will pay no tax if the estate is valued at only $5000 or less; if it is valued at $25,000 it will pay a tax of half of 1 per cent. on $20,000, or $100. An estate of $125,000, distributed equally between a widow and four children will, under this law, pay a tax only cn the value of the met es- tate in excess of $5000, or a tax of $600, and there will be no tax on the transter of the shares to the widow and children, because none of the shares will exceed in value $25,000 Such an estate of $125,000 would pay in Massachusetts a tax of $2000, in Connecticut a tax of $1900 and in New York a tax of $1000. Only such part of a non-resident’s estate as consists of realty in Rhode Island is taxed, and the real estate in another state of a resident of this state is not taxed under this act. Among the property and interests tax- able are dower, curtesy, transfers made in contemplation of death, and property put in trust to be distributed after the death of the owner.

This question is asked every day. A cold is really a fever, not caused by the weather but often due to disordered blood or lack of important. food-elements. In changing seasons fatfoods are essential because they and so render the system better able to withstand the varying elements. ‘This is the important reason why Scott’s Emulsion should always be taken for colds, and it does more— builds strength to prevent sickness.
