The commission inillioii.ed Clinir

of the considerable blasting that is
to be done on that work, it is consid

I'raetienlly the same arninc,emeiil

A communication wiis received
from the Orant county court unking
for advieo as to the form of bonds
that should be issued and the dclails
concerning a $170,1100 county bond is
sue which it is proposed lo submit
to the Grant county voters for the
purposo of improving the John Day
river highway and other roads in Hie
county.
The matter was referred to Attor
ney Oeneral lirnwn.
J illamook county is discussing a
$412,000 bond issue, but owing to jo
cnl differences of opinion, is unable lo
agree on the route of a road between
Wheeler and Nehnlem. They have,
it is understood, agreed to leave the
location to the arbitrnlion of the slate
liighwny commission. They so noti
fied Hie commission and as ti result
Chairman J!cnsn will go lo Tillamook
county and try lo reconcile matters,
l'oilwnl OoH'nitlon.
At its, afternoon session the com
mission discussed with representa
tives of tho I'niled Stales office of
public roads the question of stale anil
federal cooperation. The federal au
thorities require (hat a comprehensive
plan covering 1'ive years' work be sub
mitted. This' is somewhat difficult owing to
the uncertainly regarding Hie six mil
lion dollar lioml plan. Should Hie
question be defeated at the June
elect ion it would I hen be necessary
to readjust the road plan.
It may be possible that two alter
native plans can be put up lo I lie sec
retary of agriculture, one contingent
on the bond issue carrying, Hie oilier
on its rejection.
S. Benson, member of the enmuiis
hion from the third congressional dis
trict, said that an erroneous impres
sion of a conversation he had had
with Will Sleel siipcrinlciidcnl of
('rater lake national park, had been
conveyed in nil interview with Mr.
Sleel, printed ill Mcdford papers.
'Mr. Sleel was quoted as having at

URIC ACID IN MEAT

Take a gloss of Salts if your Back hart

If you must have your meat every day,
eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts
occasionally, says a noted authority who
tells ua that meat forum uric acid which,
almost paralyzes the kidneys in iaoir ef
forts to expel it from the blood. They
become sluggish and weaken, then you
suffer with a dull misery in the kimior
rcgion, sharp pains in the back or sick
headache, dizziness, your stomach sours,
tongue is coated and when the weather
is bad you have rlieumatio twinges. Tho
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get soro and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or three
time during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids, to
demise tho kidneys and flush off the
body's urinous waste get four ounces of
Jad Salts from any pharmacy here ;
take a tableepoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act flue. This
famous salts is made from tho acid of
p-apes and lemon juice, combined with
lithio, and has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate sluggish kidney
bIbo to neutralise tho acids ra urine,
so it no longer irritates, thus ending
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is incxpensivo; cannot in

litliia-water drink.
