SALTS IF BACKACHY AND KIDNEYS HURT

Stop Eating Meat For a While If Your Bladder is Troubling You. When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it generally means you have been eating too much meat, says a wellknown authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys in their effort >to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels, removing all the body’s urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells, your ' stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. v Either consult a good, reliable physician at once or get from your pharmacist about 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 ha« been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggist kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder weakness. * Jad Salts is a life saver for regular meat eaters, It is inexpensive, Cannot. injure and makes a delightful, effervescent lithia-water drink.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, THURSDAY, MAY 20, 1915.

NEWTON TOWNSHIP ELECTION MAY 26TH

Proposition to Subsidize Lafayette & Northwestern Railroad to Be Voted Wednesday. Newton township will vote next Wednesday, May 26th, on the proposition to support by taxation the construction of the proposed Lafayette & Northwestern Railroad. The projected road is to run from Lafayette to Kankakee, 111., passing through the west part of White county, the town of Wolcott, the city of Rensselaer, thence west to Mt. Ayr, Morocco, St. Anne and on to Kankakee. It is to be an electric railroad. The promoter is 0. L. Brown. Mr. Brown came to Rensselaer about a year ago and talked of a projected road from Logansport to this c.ity. Later he considered other routes, notably a road- through Remington. He believed that stock could be sold along the route of the proposed road that would equal the subsidies that might under the law be voted. He has, we understand, sold some stock. Some of the purchasers were men in the western part of White county, who later helped to vote a tax subsidy. Mr. Brown is accused of having said that he would not ask any subsidies. Some of those who • would block progress at every corner are trying to make much of this claim. It really don’t make any difference, although Mr. Brown informs us that he never made any such statement, except to say that if an equal amount could be raised by the sale of stock then no subsidies would be asked. As we said above, it don’t make any ’difference. Mr. Brown had a perfect right to change his mind on that matter. You may refuse to sell a horse tomorrow, declaring that you do not want to sell the horse at any price. The next day you may decide to sell him. Theodore Roosevelt once said that he did not want another term as president. He later ran for the office. He appropriately said that remarking that you do not wish another cup of coffee, means that you do not want one- at that -time, but you may want one later. Mr. Brown may have said in all sincerity that he would not ask subsidies and then have found out that this aid was necessary to interest financiers in the project. Mr. Brownhas never claimed that he had the money to build the road. He will tell you that he is a promoter and hopes to interest those in the road wl®> can build it. Most roads are built that way. Bayard Taylor, who projected the Indiana Harbor or the route that road traverses, worked .for a long time without any money except that provided by enterprising citizens of Kentland:. The court thought enough of his work to give him a judgment for SIO,OOO against the road that eventually occupied a part of his route. There are some moneyed men in New York who don’t know any more about localities, where roads are needed than my friend Babcock knows about how to get a postoffice. The pioneer work must be done by some one like Brown. He has decided that there is a good field over the unoccupied route from Lafayette to Kankakee. It passes, through a country rich in fertility and inhabited by enlightened people. It passes through some good towns. The better the towns, the better the country. The better the country, the better the people. Progress works hand in hand for the welfare of all and everybody. Danville, 111., has more than doubled its population by having interurban railroads. Electric railroads are the greatest artery of trade in the world. They are the very foundation of progress and development of towns and country. Price a farm over about Danville, 111., that is not Iny better or even as good as your own. Nothing under S2OO, many up to S4OO. Some one may tell you that interurbans don’t increase the value of farm lands. They say that in definance of truth. Some one may tell you that if you don’t want to sell your farm, the increased value is of no advantage. They say that in defiance of your pride and your better judgment. You do want your land to be worth more. It means your advancement along with that of your community. Ask any farmer along the’ route of an interurban if they find, it an advantage of trade and progress. They will every one tell you it does. You might, of course, run across an Erhart Wuerthner some place and he would tell you to the contrary, but sift it down and you will find some personal grudge at the motorman or the president of the road or at life itself. But the people who live and breathe and enjoy the program of being somebody .will tell you that they are great things. , William Rayher lives near Forest, Ind. It is a town about like Mt Ayr. An interurban passes through ittfo

Frankfort anduKokomo. You will remember Bill Rayher. He lived here for many years and worked in Eger’s grocery store for a long time. He’s honest and a hustler. Getting ahead has been a hard job for Bill, but he owned a little farm in Clinton county. He went to it a,few years ago and is making a success on it. It used to be worth S3O per acre. The interurban made it worth $l5O. Think Bill would sooner have a S3O farm. Not on your life. Talk to Bill and see. He was here a few months ago and he renewed his subscription to The Republican and he said: “Boost the interurban whenever you get the chance. ' They’re great things. I drive to Forest and leave my horse and take produce to Frankfort to market. It’s a great advantage.” Clinton county hasn’t anything on Jasper or Newton or White. Our friends in Newton township will find it just as Bill Rayher says. Their farms will be worth more. Occasionally there may be some fellow who hates to see a train go by because it furnishes convenience to some other person and occasionally he expresses his dissatisfaction by writing a scourge against humanity or whispering into the welcome ear of' a disgruntled editor and disappointed office seeker a lot of rubbish which he hopes will have the effect of preventing progress and retarding development. Well, the election is to be next Wednesday, May 26th, and there is not a farmer or farm owner in Newton township who can afford for what it means to him personally to vote aganist the subsidy proposition. If the road is not built then not one cent of the subsidy can ever be collected. You are not giving anything away. You are simply making an investment just as the United States government makes when it gives large grants of land to corporations in consideration of their building great transcontinental railroads through the vast west. Think unsuhsidized capital would have built those roads? Not a bit of it. But the government had wise men in charge of its affairs and they induced the capital to get busy by means of

subisdies. What was the result? The settling of the west. Who was benefited ? Everybody. The government for the development of its great country, the people who followed the railroads and inhabited the lands they traversed, the capitalists because they made the investments. Everybody but a few Erhart Wuerthners and Knocker Babcocks, who took to their heels and sought the tall timber and the high grass away off from industry and enterprise and progress and reclamation. , , Subsidies are all right. They are made so in government practice and by law. They get things that you can not otherwise get. Newton township and its splendid citizenship will enjoy the greatest progress in its history if it gets the interurban railroad. Its people will make a mistake if they do not join forces with Newton and. White counties and vote this aid to the Brown project. Rensselaer will double its population if we get an interurban. What is good for Rensselaer is good for Newton township. Lay your prejudices aside and look at this matter from the standpoint of a far-sighted businessman and you will decide that you can not afford to vote against it.
