They become sluggish and weaken, then you suffer with a dull misery in the kidney re- glon, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the channels often get sore and irritated, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. To neutralize these irritating acids, to cleanse the kidneys and flush off the body's urinous waste, get- four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharm- acy here; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been’ used for generations to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer” irritates, thus ending blad- der weakness, - Jad Salts is inexpensite; cannot injure, ad makes a_delightful effer- vescent lithia-water -drink.

The Jacobs Manufacturing company, School street, manufacturing mill sup- plies, is now operating its plant by electrical power, discarding its steam power plant. This concern has been busy through outthe period of ghe war and has materially enlarged its plant. Raymond A. Preston, son of Mr. and \ll'% Frank T. Preston, Broad street, is now in France after months of ser- vice in Italy with the Frown Univer- sity Ambulance unit. The return of this unit from Italy to France was made overland, the meu sleeping at night in the ambulances, left stand- ing at the roadside. r. Preston writes that the trip was a wonder- ful one. During the last of his service in Ttaly he was up close behind the lines that were moving forward to crush Austria in what proved to be one of the eatest military disastel of the world for the Du Monarch: Some hoys who were mustered out at Camp Devens and who have re- turned to this section bring back the story that a ruling was made by certain officers that the men would have to turn ir their Red Cross sweat- ers and comfert Kits. This caused pro- test, and the ruling wus rescinded. 'rhb men rightfully contended, it is felt here, that what was given them by lh‘e Red Crose is not government prop- erty. Apropos to what is being said about cutting down expenses hy climinating the day police patrol, it may be stat- ed that the annual town reports for a period of tweny years up to the time the present police system was adopted show that th. onstable” cost here in Danielson was several )\l}ndred dollzrs each year, and that what one particular constable received during a period of years ainounted to a sum running into five figures, these thousands of Gollars being rightly con- sidered charge@ for police work. These figures are available for all who care to investigate them, and furnish data that might help one reach an equif ‘able decision in the police matter. This ‘constable” cost, it must be remem- bered, was in addition to the “night watchman” costs, which then, as now, were being chiefly borne by’ business men, paying out of their own funds. It is held Ly many that the aboligh- ing of the patrol will bring back the “constable” regime which is not a free service hy any means, as official figures in reports will show. Just what the net difference might he in a year, between the present police System, vhich has Lept Danielson - the most orderly it evoer has been and the “con- stable” system which is now chiefly flourishing in backwoods towns and on the musi comedy stage, is not of Sllfl'\ci]e:)l. irg\p;‘g‘lance‘ many business men here Lold, to warrant slippi backwards for.

'l’:hnsn who have known Danjeison in- timately for many years contend that at least 50 per cent, of the burglaries reported here in a scora of years, and probably a higher percentage, have been committed between the hour of 3 a m. and davlight. Leaving the bus- iness section unguarded in what many call the most dangerous part of the night is generally regarded here as highly hazardous experiment to try— one that would Ijkely cost one or more merchdnts, in coursc of time, more than an officer's saiary for a year. 1n several quarters Friday the ques- | 1f you will learn to give Cascarets, the candy cathartic, to your children, instead of castor oil, _calomel and pills, you will save money, and avoid lots of worry, coaxing and sickness.
