Liberty Park City Work.
While many have been charmed by
the we park In the midst of a busy
city atreet that surrounds Liberty
Temple, few know that it Is the city
of Portland that haa made the arrange
tnents and carried out the effect of i
landscape garden built oa top of an
asphalt street.
The city collected a floral display of
SO varietiea of planta at a coat of near
ly IZOSO. The planning was the work
of L. JL Thlelen. landscape engineer.
The plants were taken from the city
parka, under his direction and boxed
so they could be moved la good con
ditlon.
Perhaps the most striking planta on
display are the camilUas. a most beau
tiful collection containing aome of tha
choicest that grow. Attractive, too,
are the laurels. both English and
Portugese, several varieties of ever
green viburnums, a verlety of veronl

Aim Is to Have All Displays So
Placed That One Shall Not
Cover Another Problem
Is Difficult One.
An ordinance regulating the lnstalla
tlon of electrlo signs In such way that
on merchant's sign will not hide and
destroy the advertising value of the
sign of another Is to be presented to
the City Council by Building Inspector
Plummer and a committee appointed by
Mayor Baker. The measure has been
In course of preparation for several
months.
The main purpose is to overcome
what la called the "blanketing" evil.
By this ts meant, according to Mr.
Plummer, the covering of one sign by
another. It Is proposed to have all
signs so placed as to overcome this
difficulty.
"This condition occurs frequently In
the downtown districts of all cities
where signs come close together," says
Mr. Plummer. "The worst of tha situ
atlon is, the mors signs, th more
blanketing.
"Blaaketlng" to Be Remedied.
"Blanketing destroys the pulling or
advertising power of the sidewalk sign.
and because of it many a merchant has
seen a productive sign changed to an
unproductive one, and the Investment
represented In the sign changed from
the profit to the loss side of the ledger.'
The committee examined the ordi
nances of all the large cities of the
country and found that not one covered
this "blanketing" evil. Notwithstand
ing the fact that other cities appear
to be unable to cope with this problem,
the committee felt that blanketing
could and should be regulated.
In other particulars than "blanket
Ing' the proposed ordinance Is more
liberal In allowing the use of wire
glass in larger sizes and in the time
during which the sign must be lighted.
In the inner fire limits signs will be
required to be lighted from dusk to

the property valuation has been placed
at 12720. Th owners refuse to sell
at these figures.
YOUTH INJURED IN CRASH
W. B. Sheldon Sustains Crashed Leg
nd Bruises of His Body.
Adequate Lighting Required.
The proposed ordinance requires that
all electric sidewalk signs be well il
luminated by specifying a minimum
amount of light per square foot of all
such signs. In the past there has been
no such regulation, and there are nu
merous Instances in this city of large,
poorly lighted signs. In this method
of regulation the committee Is fol
lowing the example of many large
cities.
Th committee Is recommending an
other Innovation. This Is to prohibit
the Issuance of a permit for any elec
tric sidewalk sign of a design which Is
unsightly, grotesque or something of
monstrosity. The Inspector or build
ings Is to determine whether or not a
sign is so classed and the right of ap
peal to the council as the board of
final decision Is embodied In th ordi
nance.

For th third tlm since the United

Boy Scouts of America will conduct a

WHENjYOUR KIDNEYS. FEE
LIKr tUMPS OF LEAD
When you wake up with backache
and dull misery In the kidney region It
generaUy means'you have been eating
too much meat, says a well-known
authority. Meat forms urid acid, which
overworks the kidneys In their effort
to filter It from the blood and they
become sort of paralyxed 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,
fuU of sediment, channels often get
ore, water scalds and yea are obliged
to seek relief two or three times dur
ing the night.
Either consult a good, reliable physi
cian at once or get from your pharma
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of wa
ter before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from th
acid of grapes and lemon Juice, com
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to clean and stimulat
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralise
acids In the urine so it no longer irri-.
tates, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is a life saver for regular
meat eaters. Jt Is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes a delightful, effer
vescent lithla-water drink. Adv.
