POLK IS NAMED AS COUNSELLOR

His Selection Has Been Formally Announced by Secretary LansingVDescendant of Pres. Polk. Washington, Aug. 30.—The selection of Frank L. Polk, corporation counsel jf New York City, to be counsellor of the state department, has been formally announced by Secretary Lansling. The president has tendered the J position to Mr. Polk, who has accept- ' ed. Mr. Polk will succeed Mr. Lansing, who became secretary on the resignation by Williams Jennings Bry--lan last June. The counsellor’s office has been vacant since Mr. Lansing I took his place in the cabinet and there ! has been much gossip as to who would 1 fill it. | While John Bassett Moore was counsellor* he acted for the secretary .in all matters in the latter’s absence frdm Washington, and the rule continued in effect while Mr. Lansing held the post. Diplomatic callers were referred to the counsellor, and when matters of pressing importance were pending, such as the correspondence ,-ith Germany over the Lusitania case, the counsellor was called into conference at cabinet meetings. While it has not been definitely decided, it is virtually certain that the rule will continue in effect.

Polk is the son of Dr. William Mecklenburg Polk, dean of the Cornell Medical school, the grandson of Confederate Bishop-General Leonidas Polk and the grandnephew of President James K. Polk. He was bom in 1871 and was graduated from Yale in 1894. He studied law at Columbus law school and was graduated there in 1897. In 1898 he went to the Spanish war with Troop A and became assistant quartermaster under General Erast, with the rank of captain. In 1908 he married iMiss Elizabeth Potter, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Potter, of Philadelphia. They have three children.

LIITLE ELDER BOY MISSING FROM PARR

Eleven-Years-Old Son of Mrs.£harles Elder Lost Since Monday Noon— Mother Frantic. Little Kenneth Elder, 11-years-old son of Mrs. Charles Elder, disappeared from Parr, where his mother lives, Monday noon and up to this afternoon nothing had been learned as to his whereabouts. The boy was sent on an errand and performed it and is said to have started home but no one saw him after that time, unless it was the section men who thought they saw him going north toward Fair Oaks. The lad’s mother is distracted and spent all of Monday night in search of him. Citizens of Parr gave assistance, telephoning in every direction, but nothing could be learned. Before noon today the mother started out on foot to search for her little son. She went west, following the clew furnished by the section hands. The farmers living near Parr are all very busy with their crops and can not engage in an organized search. Logan Wood, who usually heads any important movement there, has been suffering from rheumatism and just returned Monday from Mt. Jackson sanitarium at Indianapolis, where he was taking treatment and is unable to give personal aid in the search.

SALTS IF KIDNEYS OR BLADDER BOTHER

Harmless to Flush Kidneys and Neutralize Irritating Adds. Kidney and bladder weakness result from uric acid, says a noted authority. The kidneys filter this acid from the blood and pass it on to the bladder, where it often remains to irritate and inflame, causing a burning, scalding sensation, or setting up an irritation at the neck of the bladder, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. The sufferer is in constant dread, the water passes sometimes with a scalding sensation and is very profuse. Again, there is difficulty in avoiding it. Bladder weakness, most folks call it, because they can't control urination. While it is extremely annoying and sometimes very painful, this is really one of the most simple ailments to overcome. Get about four ounces of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast, continue this for two or three days. This will neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation to the bladder and urinary organs which then act normally again. Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary disorders caused by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is splendid for kidneys and' causes no bad effects whatever. Here you have a pleasant, effervescent lithia-water drink, which quickly relieves bladder trouble.

BARN YARD CREATURES ARE NOT STUPID

Acts With Gentry Brothers Shows Demonstrate Libel of Sheep and Pigs. For generations the pig, the goat and the sheep were considered the most stupid animals. The trainers with Gentry Brothers famous shows, however, have disproven the libel. With Gentry Brothers shows, which will visit this city next Thursday, Sept. 2, is a complete? troupe of trained pigs, sheep and goats. If you ask the trainers why these creatures are considered the most stupid, the tutor will say it is becatise those who expound the theory were not patient enough in training. Trained dogs rolling barrels, climbing through hoops, etc., are common, but with Gentry Brothers shows is a troupe of barnyard creatures that do this and more. The scope of animals which Gentry Brothers trainers have educated runs from the lowly swine of the barnyard to the leopard and elephant of India. Their wild animal feature, which is presented in the big show, is said by trainers to be the most marvelous act ever presented to the public. Gentry Brothers shows carry many European novelty acts, seen this season for the first time in America. Gentry Brothers shows will give two exhibitions in this city Thursday, Sept. 2nd.

Tennis Finals Finished— Chalmers Here Tomorrow.

The tennis finals to choose a fourman team to represent Rensselaer in tennis matches, finished Monday when Harry English won from Dr. I. M. Washburn in two out of three spirited sets. The scores were 6-4, 2-6 and 7-5, and show that the two were evenly matched, with English having a little the best of the argument. The team is now composed of English, Dean, Babcock and Healey. (The Chalmers tennis team will be here tomorrow to play the Rensselaer team. They will bring three men and will play both doubles and singles. The games will begin at 2 o’clock and will be played at the Catholic court. Those interested in the game will see good tennis. The Line-up has not yet been decided for Rensselaer.

FROST DID LITTLE DAMAGE IN COUNTRY

Low Ground Might Have Been Affected But Most Low Corn Had Been Drowned Out. There was some frost last night. Early risers, especially those in the ! country, saw evidences of it on roofs of buildings and on straw stacks. It is not believed that there was sufficient to do any material damage. Crops on the muck ground and low ground might have suffered but most J of the com there had been drowned ‘ out. The forecast for today is fair and warmer and the sun showed a | little more warmth this morning than | it has for several weeks. There was a destructive frost last Saturday night in Minnesota and Wisconsin, according to word received here.

A RENSSELAER CITIZEN COMES TO THE FRONT

Tells His Friends and Neighbors of His Experience. Every resident of Rensselaer should read what a neighbor says. His testimony can be relied upon. Here are his own words: Jacob R. Wilcox, Dayton St., Rensselaer, says: “I had pains through my loins and was in misery day and night. I always felt tired and wornout and was annoyed by a distressing kidney weakness. Nothing relieved me until I began taking Doan’s Kidney Pills. They were of such great benefit that I consider them worthy of the highest endorsement. The cure has been permanent.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Wilcox had. Foster-Milbum Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y.
