URIC ACID IN MEAT CLOGS THE KIDNEYS

Take a Glass of Salts If Your Back Hurts or Bladder Bothers. If you must have your meat every day, eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts occasionally, says a noted authority who tells us that meat forms uric acid which almost paralyzes the kidneys in their effort to expel it from the blood. They become sluggish and weaken, then you suffer with a dull misery in the kidney region, 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 yo uto 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 pharmacy 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 avid 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 bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot injure, and makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink.

CABLES TO REPLACE TELEPHONE WIRES

Jasper County Telephone Co. Laying Underground Cables Throughout This City. The Jasper County Telephone Co. is proceeding with a determination to establish a thoroughly modern telephone plant in Rensselaer and under the present owners, W. L. Bott and Geo. M. Myers, are building a large amount of conduit construction for the cables, placing the tile about three feet under ground. One of these cables is brought from the telephone office to Cullen street and around the Makeever hotel to Washington street, thence east to the alley and south to Grace street, which is the street leading to the east gravel road. Other underground cables are to be constructed and sufficient wires are carried in them to take care of all the present business and a substantial increase. The cables are all of lead and consequently are almost everlasting. Their use will enable the company to tear down all overhead construction except such as is necessary' for the wires into residences and business houses. AH poles will be in the alleys and there will be a cable box on a pole in each block. George M. Myers, the president and general manager, has had extensive experience in the telephone -usiness and for some time owned a plant at Washington, 111., where he established an underground cable system with the very best results. The cost is no greater, if, indeed, it is as great, aa the overhead pole system. It is much more lasting and eliminates the possibility of sleet and wind damage and the crossed wire troubles. Should the business develop along any line to such an extent that the number of pairs of wires in the cables were not sufficient, then a larger cable can be attached at the rear and drawn through the conduit and the smaller cable can be restored to use on another street. The plan is a great improvement over the old system and will help beautify our city and be the cause of improved service.

Man Who Robbed Depots Arrested at Home in Illinois.

Fred Hix, alias Frank Chalmers, wanted by the police in a dozen cities, was arrested at his mother’s home in Milford, 111., Sunday morning by Detectives John A. Hayes of the Monon and George-B. Sloan of the C. &. E. I. railroads, and was taken to Lafayette and lodged in jail. Hix is wanted for robbing the Union station at Reynolds, the Monon station at Monon, the Wabash station at Lafayette, where he took $lB9, the Wabash station at Danville, DI., and the C. & E. I. station at Hoopeston. In 1912 he was arrested for robbing the station at Battle Ground and was returned to the Jeffersonville reformatory, from which he had been paroled after serving five years on the ’charge of grand larceny. On being released in 1914 he once more began his old trade of robbing stations. He was caught by skillful detective work and will be returned at once to the reformatory. .

Otto Braun, the bandmaster, has been quite sick for several days and his family is having a rather bad time of it. Recently one of his daughters fractured a leg and Mrs. Braun has been ill some lately also. The smoker to be given by the Van Rensselaer Club Thursday evening promises to be a very enjoyable affair »nd the committee on arrangement has sent invitations to all members. It is probable that the new directors will organize by electing officers at that time. Today is a beautiful spring day. The heat is almost at June temperature and doors are left open and men are comfortable in their shirt seleves. We are still needing a rain badly, but the ground is in fine condition for plowing and harrowing and the preparation for corn painting is keeping the fanners busy. Charley Remmek, who created some trouble several weeks ago, was lodged in jail agian Saturday night and kept there until Sunday evening. He interfered when Dr. Hemphill and John Critser were having an argument and drawing a Colts revolver, pressed the muzzel against the side of Critser. The revolver had four loaded shells in it. Remmek was arrested by Night Officer Critser and held for 24 hours and then released, no warrant having been issued. An empty pint whiskey bottle was found in his pocket Chitser decided Monday to swear out a warrant for Remmek and it is probable that he will be arrested today. On one or two other occasions he has used a gun when either under the influence of whiskey or drugs and he is regarded a dangerous character. He as a very pleasing man when at himself and his condition is to be pitied but he should be placed where he can not endanger the * lives of those with whom he comes in contact.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, TUESDAY, APRIL 20, 1915.

JOHN GREVE SAYS DEMOTTE IS BOOMING

Says Newland and Springer May Be All Right But He Knows That Keener Town is Going Some. John Greve was down from DeMotte today, Tuesday, and informs The Republican that DeMotte is moving right to the front and wishes to have it known that Newland and Springer are not the only places in Jasper county that are progressing. John says he don’t want to detract from the boom towns in Walker and Barkley townships in the least but he does want it understood that the seat of Keener township is doing some progressing and deserves occasional mention. In reply to the inquiry of the reporter as to what was going on he informed us that John White has purchased the old school house and is remodeling it into a 14-room house and will conduct a hotel therein. That “Dutch” White is building a new restaurant building. H. C. DeKock has sold his grocery department to Rev. Peter Schwart and brother, John, and will hereafter conduct only the drygoods, clothing and shoes departments. He is building a good sized brick addition to his store, the addition extending along the south side and the rear of the other building. F. M. Hart, the implement dealer, is building a two-story frame building. His implement store will be below and the upper part will be a hall for various meetings in the town. The kraut factory was enlarged last fall and there will be a large acreage of cabbage put in this year. Mr. Greve is contracting for pickles for the F. C. Clausen & Sons and has arranged for about 100 acres to be put out. There is other building going on in the country and with-the drainage of the Kankakee Valley DeMotte will doubtless become a much more important town. The erection of- the fine new school house last year has served to inspire the residents there to do some other building. Mr. Greve is a booster and says that all that is needed to make DeMotte grow is a few more public spirited men to push it along.

A wedding supper was served at the home of the groom’s parents, after which the happy young couple left for a motoring trip in the South. They will reside in Chicago at 6421 Harper Ave.

Getting Airdome Ready For Best Season Since Construction.

Horton Bros, are getting the Gayety Airdome ready for the summer season. A metal top, 50x90 feet, is being constructed. This is 17 feet above the ground and 6 feet above the fence, thus guaranteeing plenty of ventilation and all the delights of the actual dome of air. It also fur* nishes protection in case of rain and a shade should daily performances’ be given. The stage is also being enlarged and new dressing rooms built. The Gayety promises to have the most popular season that it has ever enjoyed and it will be opened just as soon after the first of May as the weather is suitable.

STAGE SET FOR SUIT AGAINST ROOSEVELT

WiHiam Barnes, New York Republican Leader, Plaintiff in Damage Action at Syracuse. The stage is set for the damage suit of William Barnes against Theodore Roosevelt. It will be tried at Syracuse, N. Y., where it was sent from Albany, the change of venue having been granted at request of the defendant. During the campaign last fall Roosevelt branded Barnes an undesirable boss and said many other things that had the effect of damaging Barnes in New York and all over the country. Barnes brought suit for $50,000 and the case will be hotly contested. The jury was procured Monday and consists of seven republicans, two democrats and three progressives. Roosevelt has employed a number of attorneys. One of them moved to dismiss the suit, saying that Roosevelt had no malice toward Barnes and used his name simply because of the position Barnes held and that if it had been any other person instead of Barnes then the name of the other would have been used. The attorney said that if Roosevelt had simply attacked the republican and democratic parties without reference to individuals it would not have had the effect desired. The names used fitted the purpose, said his counsel. Some of the charges made were based upon information Roosevelt had secured when governor of New York, and he believed that there was an invisible government and that Barnes and others were responsible. He said that Mr. Roosevelt had stated that the government was rotten and that Barnes and Murphy and others influenced it but he did not say they were rotten-or dishonest themselves. The statement was not very strong and not calculated to assist the Roosevelt case materially. Justice Andrews, who is hearing the case, denied the dismissal.

Hammond Men Who Attended Highway Meeting Are Home.

Mayor Smalley and City Attorney John Gavit, of Hammond, who attended the meeting at Chattanooga, Tenn., of the Dixie highway boosters, returned to Hammond last Saturday and expressed themselves as certain that the highway is to be over the route reported in a former issue of this paper, namely, from Indianapolos to Lebanon, Lafayette, Remington, Rensselaer and Hammond. Another meeting is to be held in Louisville on April 21st and A. M. Turner has been asked to attend the meeting. The Dixie highway movement was started by the Chattanooga, Tenn., automobile club. C. E. James is at the head of it and he has a reputation for doing things in Tennessee that lends .confidence for the success of his great project.

RHEUMATISM IN ANKLES.

One Bottle of Rheuma Relieved Woman Who Could Not Walk. Marvelous as this story may seem, it is absoultely true, but this is only one of the many almost magical cures that Rheuma is performing these days. Use of one bottle will convince any sufferer. Mrs. Gertrude Kozel, Smithfield, Pa., writes: “I had rheumatism for over a year. It settled in my ankles and I could not walk. I have taken one battle of Rheuma and do not have any more pain, and I can again walk at will.” B. F. Fendig and all druggists sell Rheuma for 50 cents. It is guaranteed to cure any case of any kind of rheumatism or money back. Gratifying relief comes in a day, because Rheuma acts at one time on the kidneys, stomach, liver and blood, and starts to rid the entire system of poisonous uric acid at once.

JOHN EGER.

If Progressives “Come Back.”

Indianapolis Star. • “The fifth district must be redeemed from democracy—-it can be, and at the next election, if we do our duty, it will be redeemed,” said William L. Taylor in his talk at Terre Haute. “How? By a reunited republican party,” he and goes on: The progressives in this district cast more than 5,000 votes. All of them were cast by former militant, active, progressive republicans. We want them all to be with us again, all having the same rights, powers and privileges with all other members of the republican party. We shall not deserve their support if all we have to offer is honeyed words and sugar-coated promises. We must act and not merely promise. We must adopt principles, forward-looking and progressive, and this we will do. We must present the very best that is in us—we owe it to ourselves and our state and our country to do this, for the country must also be redeemed from nation-wide democratic incompetency. Mr. Taylor has mapped out the ground which an honorable reconciliation can be effected. If he voices the sentiment of the republican party leaders the way seems open for negotiations that may lead to renewed comradeship in cause of good government. His utterance will be heard with interest and respect by those former “militant, active, progressive republicans” whose help is needed to redeem the state and the nation from the misrule of an incompetent democracy. But let the terms of reconciliation be clearly understood. There must be a definite adoption by the republican party of “forward-looking and progressive” principles, supported, not by “honeyed words and sugarcoated promises, but by action, and there must be an acceptance into full and unconditioned fellowship, with equal “rights, powers and privileges” of those who, for conscience sake, left the party in 1912. And this implies that aid feuds shall be forgotten; that the bitterness engendered by the strife of the recent election shall be eliminated, that no man or group of men shall-be marked for reprisals. If there is to be room and welcome in the republican party for any of the men who took the name of progressive pi the cause 'of decent politics and popular rule, there must be room and welcome for all. Each must be accepted on his merits, with the recognition due his ability and achievements, whether he be of the rank and file, or whether he be of those who lead. The men who left the republican party in 1912 did so from the highest motives. Many of them sacrificed much for the principles in which they believed. Old associations were broken, and a lonely trail of defeat has been followed in, order that Indiana and the nation might reap the advantage of a splendid and courageous protest against wrong and injustice. If the republican party is cleaner and stronger today, if it has turned its face toward the morning with a new consecration to the service of the people, it is because these, men made the sacrifice and forced upon it thq necessity for repentence. The republican party’s recognition that it was wrong in 1912 is a confession that the progressives were right. It is obligated in all honor, if it seeks reconciliation, to acknowledge its inedebtedness to the men who were brave enough to stand for principle when it was inviting ruin by dallying with what it deemed to be expediency. We beMeve the republican party will not repeat the error of 1912. We believe there will never be again such a state convention or such a national convention as was held in that year of disgrace. No state or national committee will again dare to set itself against the expressed will of the peopel. The steam-roller belongs to the era of primitive and unscrupulous politics from which, we hope, the party has forever emerged. It is certain it can not be used with safety to achieve the ambitions or, satisfy the personal grudges of any group of politicians. That has been made evident by a sufficient number of the voters of this state, who stand ready to give further proof if it should be needed.
