to the judiciary committee and who
iavored a judicial .reapportionment
. bill, declared this afternoon that

Peculiar Problems.
"I believe firmly that Douglas
county with its peculiar problems
and peculiar environment should
elect its own judges and Burt and
Washington counties, ' n.rvr in the
Fourth judicial district with Douglas
county, should be tacked onto a
rural district, or, if the litigation in
those counties warrant, thev should
be formed into a single judicial dis-J

.. Representative Snow: -of Chadron,
started a tight on the 10-judge bill
of the Douglas county delegation
ly moving to cut the proposed 10
judges clown to, nine. Snow threw
the nightmare of liigtt taxes before
the lioui'c, declaring that if Omaha
were forced .to pay, in whofe. for
the judges the metropolis

t
have two. dozen if it wanted.
"But we pay the taxes in all parts
of the state liat pay the' Omaha

that Omaha" in fines assessed and

Reperesentative Foster of Omaha
backed the Snow motion.
"If the judges in Omaha worked

Representative Hascall a question:
-"How much vacation dif the, dis

'Thirty days," Hascall replied.
"And the average working man
gets seven - or 14 days, sometimes
with pay and sometimes without

A bitter fight as to whether, the

threshed out tomorrow morning at
a joint session of the house and

These ' rules contain provisions
which would bar newspapermen and
others from joint sessions when, the

iu putting a.motion through provid

Uric acid in meat excites the kid

sluggish, ache and feel like lumps
of lead. The urine becomes cloudy;
the bladder is irritated and you may
be obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night. When the
kidneys clog you must help them
flush off the body's urinous waste or
you'll be a real sick person shortly.
At first you feel a dull misery in tlie
kidney region, you suffer from back
ache, sick headache, dizziness, stom
ach gets sour, tongoe coated and you
feel rheumatic twinges when the
weather is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots of water;
also get from any pharmacist four
ounces of Jad Salts; take a table
spoonful ina glass ,of watij; before
breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys wilt then act fine. This fa
mous salts is made .from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with' Iithia. and has been used tor
generations to clean clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to normal activ
ity, also to neutralize the acids in
urine, so it no longer is a source of
irritation, thus ending bladder weak
ness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drjnk which everyone
should take now and then to keep
the kidneys clean and active. Drug
gists here, say they sell lots- of Jad
Salts to folks who believe in over
coming kidney trouble while it is
only trouble.
