BUSINESS CONDITIONS:The Pittsburg Post says: The announcement that the Pennsylvania Railroad comany has ordered SO locomotives. in addition to its car order, is discouraging to those agents of panic who have been laboring to convince the people of a backward trend in business and industry. If this great carrying company did not have business for locomotives it would not spend such a large sum of money, and tlie placing of the order D'eans the reverse of the argument put forward by designing politicians. It is cheering news of a steady improvement from temporary depression, and when betterment begins in Pennsylvania, where industry leads, it will be followed in all the states. Conservative men in all parts of the country express themselves as convinced that the last half of the year will witness i a remarkable revival of business in i practically every line. The outlook is so bright that calamity claims appear ridiculous, hold-j ing those who make them up to scorn. | The uniformity of improvement is disastrous to the attempt of a few to , frighten the nation into the belief that conditions are growing worse, industries being wrecked and a damper put on business. Evidence to the contrary is plain that there is no danger of an intelligent citizen being deceived. The London “Times” predicts that the unusual wheat crop in the United States wil be drawn upon heavily by Europe and that this will turn the tide of gold which has been flowing from this side back again. By this means the bumper crop will increase prosperity generally, every form of business will respond to the stimulation, and the railroads will need more cars and locomotives to meet the demands. The Pennsylvania is one oi the railroads that looks into the future, and is peparing to meet the pressure that will be made upon its facilities for handling traffic. Henry Eord says business is good and that a little boosting by the business men in general and a few in particular would make the times Change from average to the best ever known in this nation. The Berne Witness wants the expression of visitors to Adams County as to the condition of our roads in the spring and we are willing. We

believe the report would be that~our roads are better than in any other county in the state. Os course at tlirt soaaoii of thawing and rain and mud and slush, even paved streets are not as preventable as at other times of the year, but as compared with the . roads of other counties we will put up those of Adams county against any in the middle west. It would seem from several editorials which have appeared lately in the Fort Wayne News that they have been duly and truly appointed to champion the cause for the sugar company. For fear they have not had all the information at hand on the subject we suggest that they compare the price of the company's stock now with what it was several months ago and that they inquire as to whether or not the crops of the past two years did not have something to do with the decline In the value of the stock. We may be wrong about it but we just can’t help feeling that perhaps the sugar company would not gain any thing particularly to their interests by making their troubles an issue in this campaign. g DOINGS IN SOCIETY j WEEK'S SOCIAL CALENDAR.

Uric acid in meat excites the kidneys, they become overworked; get sluggish, ache, and feel like lumps of lead. The urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is irritated, and you may be obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. When the kidneys clog you must help them flush off the body’s urinous waste or you’ll be a real sick person shortly. At first you feel a dull misery in the kidney region, you suffer from backache, sick headache, dizziness, stomach gete sour, tongue coated and you feel rheumatic twinges when the w- . her is bad. Eat less meat, drink io.s of water; also get from any pharmacist four ounces of Jad Salts; 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 generation# to clean clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity, also to neutralize the acids in urine, so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot injure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which everyone should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active. Druggists here say they sell lots of Jad Salts to folks who believe in overcoming kidney trouble while it is only trouble.
