Take a Glass of Salts Before Break

If you must have your meat orory
day, cat it, but flush your kidneys with
caUs occasionally, says a noted author
ity who tolls us that meat forms uric
add, which almost paralyzes tho kid
neys In their efforts to expel it from
tho blood. They becomo sluggish and
weaken, then you suffer with a dull
misery in tho kidney region, sharp
pains in tho back or sick headache,
dizziness, your stomach sours, tonguo
is coated and when tho weather Is bad
you havo rheumatic twinges. Tho
urino gets cloudy, full of sediment, tho
channels often get soro and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or
three times during tho night.
To neutralize these Irritating acids,
to clcanso tho kidneys and Hush off

ounces of Jad Salts from any phar
macy hero; take a tablcspoonful In a
Cinqs of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will then

from tho acids of grapes and lomon
juice, combined with llthlu, and has
been used for generations to (lush and

Inventor Says It Will Fly, Run,
Swim and Dive.
Denver Man Took Bumblebee as
Model for His Remarkable Con-'
trlvance Will Make Up to
300 Miles an Hour.
Denver. William A. Sharpo, a me
chanic, aftor 13 years of experiment
ing, is completing a macbino which,
ho says, can fly, run, swim and dlvo.
It Is designed to carry four passen
gers. It will derive its lifting and pro-
polling power ' from tho rotation of
wheels and revolving nnd oscillating
propellers.
Sharpo is fifty-two years old and a
mechanical ' onglneer, and has pat
ented nn automobile starter, an auto
prlmor and a captivo aeroplano.
Ho Is constructing his now combi
nation machine at Sixteenth and
Uroadwny. Ho says it will travel on
tho ground with tho smoothness and
swiftness of a racing automobile or
shoot into tho air with tho perfect
equilibrium and easo of a Bwallow, and
bo poised thoro; navigate tho ocean
with tho speed of a motor boat, or can
bo used as a submarine. It is designed
to attain a speed of from 30 to 300
miles nn hour, carrying 2,000 pounds
ror oacn l.uuu pounds weight of tho
car. There aro four wheels on tho
car, and In each wheel thoro aro four
propellers. Tho ontiro vehicle Is built
of pressed steel and aluminum.
"Tho dovlco 1b designed on well
recognized principles," says Sharpo.
"Nothing now is attempted in tho
steering dovlco, transmission systom,
differential, lighting syBtom, gear Bhlft
or motor. I havo designed propoller
blades, rotating within tho circumfer
ence of a wheel, which by an Ingen
ious system of opposing or presenting
tho broad surface of tho pronoller
blades during tholr downward stroke,
and presenting tho edgo of tho pro
peller blades, during their upward
stroke, exert a lifting power of Jtho
combined surface of tho blades in an
upward and forward motion.
"I havo planned to spond $10,000 on
my first machlno, although tho cost of
tho machines when put an tho market
will bo no moro than a standard auto
mobile. Tho body of my car will bo
18 foot long and 30 Inches wide. Tho
wheels aro 34 inches In dlamdtor nnd
wolgh 100 pounds and will make 400
revolutions por minuto.
"For years I mado a study of tho
humblo bumblebee nnd camo to tho
conclusion that if n maciiino could bo
constructed embodying tho principles
of flight employed by tho beo it would
bo a success in both air and wator."

Every hobo will havo to go out every

In return for his labors ho will get a

This plan Is also oxpected to furnish
tho city at a moderate cost with any
extra large amount of laborers it may
have need of In any emergency. The
food supply of tho hotel will consist
of voluntary contributions, but no

Secretary of War Asks for Larg
cr Number.
Increase of 1,000 Would Put High
Command In Hands of Younger
Men In the Near Future
Proposed Legislation.
By EDWARD B. CLARK.
(Stuff Correspondent of tho Western
Newspaper Union.)
Washington. Members of congress
have taken hed of ajnlsunderstapd
lng which seems to exist in somo parts
of tho country over the proposition to
increase tho enlisted foice of tho army
by 10,000 men. There aro today about
clghty-llvo thousand enlisted men in
tho service Tho present law reads
that tho total enlisted strength of tho
army shall not exceed at any ono time
100,000 men.
It will bo seen from this that the ad
dltlon of 10,000 privates to the ranks
will still keep it under tho limit of
the law, and that congressional action
is needed virtually only to furnish
Biipport for tho addition In men which
the secretary of war has recommended
shall bo added to tho service.
Secretary Garrison has asked also
that 1,000 additional ofllccrs shall bo
commissioned. It is in this recommen
dation of tho secretary that tho chief
Interest hero centers. If the commis
sioned force Is increased by tho num
ber given It means that tho higher
rank In tho United States army in
tho near future will bo held by oillcers
considerably younger than those now
in command.
Tho effect of tho proposed legisla
tion in truth seemingly Is not gener
ally understood oven by members of
congress. Tho thought seems to bo
that It simply will add 1,000 officers
to tho service and that tho only
strengthening of tho army will bo In
numbers and through tho advantage
which will accrue from having officers
enough to fill the regimental places ol
those who aro ordered on detached
serv'.ce.
If !,000 new commissions aro pro
vided promotion will como to 1,000
officers, not necessarily In all cases
promotion from ono grade to another,
but promotion in file, which means
simply that a captain who Is say 100
files removed from a major will bo ad
vanced so that ho will get his step
much earlier than would bo tho case
under present conditions.
As things aro today officers In tho
primo of life and best fitted probably
for high rank are graded as captains,
majors or perhaps at best as lieuten
ant colonels. By the time they get to
be sixty years old it Is possible for
somo of them to becomo brigadier
generals, but the most active part of
the officer's ilfe today is passed as a
junior In command.
Tho first effect of the law proposed
by Mr. Garrison will bo to advance all
the junior oillcers of tho army a score
or so of steps. Then there will bo n
good many colonels, lieutenant colo
nels nnd majors still young in years
nnd fit physically for tho hardest kind
of campaigning. This will mean thnt
eventually our brigadier generals and
major generals will bo much younger
men In tho main when they get pro
motion than aro thoso who hold tho
rank today.
It is understood that thq administra
tion will enter no objection to tho pas
sago by congress of tho legislation pro
posed by Secretary of War Garrison
and Introduced by Senator Chamber
lain of Oregon. If it becomes a law
the country will havo fewer colonel-loss
regiments, fewer majorless battalions
and squadrons, nnd fewer captnlnless
companies In. the field than It has to
day. HEIR TO BELGIAN THRONE

ROADS AND ROAD MATERIALS
Highway Should. Be No More Expen
sive Than Traffic Warrants, and
Materials Suited to Traffic.
(By V. M. CONE, Colorado Agricultural
College )
Roads nnd road materials aro tho
subject of much discussion all over
tho country. Most of our roads aro
still beingpntched up, or, which is
still worse, being turned upside down
periodically with plow nnd scraper,
and a soft road is the certain result.
Howover, some good roads nro being
built each year. Roads nro a busi
ness, If they are good roads they
nro a good business, if they aro bad
roads they are a bad business. A road
should bo no more expensive than the
traffic warrants, and tho materials of
which the road is constructed must be
BUited to the traffic.
Cobblo stones nro good roads for
heavy drayage and asphaltum pave
mentB are excellent for pleasure ve
hicles, but they aro certainly not In
terchangeable in usage. It would bo
as foolish in many cases to have an
asphaltum pavement on a country
road, as a dirt street in tho busy traf
fic district of a city.
Top often people lose sight of the
Good Road Bordered With Lombardy
Poplars to Serve as a Windbreak.
repairs needed in order to keep roads
good, and that is not done without ex
pense. In fact, tho maintenance and
depreciation charges are usually great
er for good roads than for ordinary
roads, but goods roads aro worth thta
extra expense, and they are, therefore,
good business.
Many peoplo speak of the surface
of a good road as though it were an
arch which must support the weight
of traffic, but z -nief concern in
properly constructed good roads Is tho
wear on tho road surface material,
caused by the grinding action of
wheels and the suction action of rapid
ly moving automobile tires, which re
move tho flno dust and binding ma
terials, exposing the coarser and moro
compact material.
Macadam, one of the most famous
road builders, laid down three rules
for making a good road: (1) Good
Drainage, (2) Better Drainage, (3)
Still Better Drainage; or, in othor
words, "A good road has a tight roof
and a dry cellar." Proper drainage to
prevent water from getting into tho
road from beneath and a good Burfaco
to causo the rainfall to run off beforo
entering tho foundation, will insure a
good road, because a well-flacked earth
foundation will sustain tho weight of
ordinary country traffic without break
ing through. If the surface is not pre
served, tho foundation of tho road will
bo damaged, and this applies to dirt
as well as rock roads, for In many
cases wo find that eurth roads aro the
most advlsablo kind of good roads and
all that the traffic wants.
It is necessary to keep tho roof
tight. Do not allow holes to remain
in the road surface, for If they aro not
repaired the water will collect In them
nnd run through into tho foundation,
causing "chuck holes."
Duty of Every Farmer.
No man who farms should begrudge
tho tlmo ho spends In grading, drag
ging and ditching tho highways. He
must uso them 12 months In tho
year. Every day's work makes them
a little better If tho work Is done in
telligently. In many localities tho merchants
havo atded in tho work of road bet
terment, and II seems ridiculous that
their effortB should bo distrusted by
tho farmers.
Importance of Movement.
Of the 2,000 miles of public roads
In tho United StateB only about 200,
000 miles havo been given a hard sur
face. Good Roads Mean Much.
Good roads mean as much Jo moral
nnd intellectual welfare as to econom
ical distribution.

portunity la a mark of truo civilization.
