TO IMPROVE ROADS Preble County Commissioners Will Ask State Aid For Work. CAMPAIGN IS STARTED Improvement of 112 Miles Including National Road, Planned. BATON, O., Dec. 24 The first step toward the greatest campaign for better roads ever experienced in Preble county has come with the action of the board of commissioners in asking state aid in the improvement of 112 miles of roads. In the list are included all the thoroughfares and heavy travel, and the selection of these insures benefit to the greatest possible number of people. The law which provides the aid stipulates that the state shall pay 50 per cent of the cost of preliminary surveys, supervision and construction, and 25 per cent of the cost of work. The remaining 26 per cent is borne by the townships and landowners. These are the roads to be improved: New , Paris and Palestine road, extending from the Darke county line to New Paris; the National road, extending from the Montgomrey county line to the Indiana state line; the Dayton and Eaton pike from the Mont- ' gomery county line to the Indiana 'State line; the Eaton and Quaker Trace road, and the Gratis and Lanier pike from Eaton to the Butler county line; the Eaton and Hamilton pike from a point three miles south of Eaton to the Butler county line; the Garfield pike from the Indiana state line, through Morning Sun to the Butler county line; the Richmond and Eaton pike from Eaton to the Indiana state line. ' Democrats of Center township will meet at the office of James Harris Friday evening, December 26, at 7 p. m. to select delegates to the district convention which will be held at Connersville.

URIC ACID IN MEAT CLOGS THE KIDNEYS Take a glass of Salts if your Back hurts or Bladder bothers you Drink more water. j 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 efforts to expel it frotn 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 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 pharmacy here; take a tablespoonful in a fclass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act Cine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been usefi for generations to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine, so it no Jonger irritates, thus ending bladder weakness. .lad Salts is inexpensive; cannot injure, and makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink.

Variety of Santas Richmond Does a littie tot four or five years old and a firm believer in Santa Claus feel like a person sudenly thrust into a camp where a dozen living Gods are worshiped? This must be the case in Richmond where many stores have secured Santa Clauses of their own. Richmond is now furnishing the market with every variety of Santa Claus obtainable. Thin, portly, tall, short, congenial or reticent Santa Clauses can be found to suit the taste. However, the most popular of all the Santas is one who fills all requirements and the hearts of the children at once go out toward him. He is a big fellow and his face has the proper degree of redness which the frigid temperature of his Arctic home is portrayed in pictures to have given him. Big of girth, he smiles down at the children, for he loves them and he has a number of his own and can appreciate just what the little ones expect in the Santa Claus line. Answer to Question.

"Stagger" Lads and Lassies she had just left the biggest Santa Claus and espied one of less generous proportions in another store. She demanded an explanation and insisted until her mother told her that the hard work of the holiday Beason was telling on this popular denizen of the stores. Shy little children who are afraid of even their father's friends, welcome Santa Claus as a close friend, as close even as their parents and one in whom confidences can be placed at this time of the year. Little round eyed girls walk slowly up to Santa Claus with letters over which many tedious minutes have been spent and with wonderment and awe at the sight so rare as that of Santa Claus, they hand him their missives. Others romp up to him, seize his coat and try to dance around with him, a thing which he must do to remain in their good graces, even though his dancing days are long past. He has temporarily lost his dignity but this is replaced with joviality three times. HAGERSTOWN Morris Harrison spent Sunday with his mother Mrs. Katherine Harrison at Connersville.
