AVOID ALL MEAT ~ IF KIDNEYS AND : BLADDER BOTHER Uric Acid in meat excites Kidneys and irritates the Bladder. Take Salts at first sign of Bladder weakness or Kidney- Backache. Kidney and Bladder weakness result | from uric acid, says a noted authority. The kidneys filter this acid from the ! blood and pass it on to the bladder, i where it often remains to irritate and , inflame, causing a burning, scalding j sensatioii, or setting up ;>n irritation at the neck of the bladder, obliging \ you to seek relief two or three times ] during the niglit. The sufferer is in j constant dread, the water passes some times with a scalding sensation and is very profuse; again there is diffi culty in avoiding it. Bladder weakness, most folks call it, because they can't control urination. While it is extremely annoying and sometimes very painful, this is really one of the most simple ailments to overcome. Get about four ounces of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and take a tablespoonfill In 1 glass of wa ter before breakfast, continue this for two or three days. This will neutral ise the acids in the urine so It no longer is a source of irritation to the bladder and urinary organs which then act normally again. Jad Salts is Inexpensive, harmless, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary disorders caused by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is splendid for kidneys and causes 110 bad k effects whatever. * Here you have a pleasant, efferves cent lithia-water drink which quickly relieves bladder trouble. —Advertise- ment.

[Continued From First, Page.] \ nicipal bureau, at whose instigation ; Mr. Garland came, and others in the j State and City service. Mr. Garland paid a fine tribute to 1 llarrisburg as a community if modern | ideas and irrthued with the new j thought of the city and its relation to | its people and the world at large. He ! said he had heard it spoken of often lin high terms wherever municipal I progress is discussed and that he took 1 special pride In the fact because he was born in the county of Perry, near HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH by. Mr. Garland spoke with a broad vision of the city of the future, saying: Our Ideal Possible "Shall we say that this ideal lies far beyond the reach of human as piration and faith? Shall we join the scoffer who says: 'There is nothing perfect in this world but a fool,' and j say: 'Away with this foolish notion, I this ideal of a perfected city, for it is nothing but the Hitting phantom of a fool's folly.' Nay, rather let us take our plaee with the prophet of vision, and let us believe that the very law of progress gives us the promise of a sure approach towards perfection. Let us dedicate ourselves as a community, to this great objec tive—the very best, the very happiest, the very safest city in America; and if the icy hand of death shall lay us low ere that hope be half fulfilled, we still will not falter, we will not hesitate, we will push 011 towards per fection. "The city in this new cizilizatlon is getting to be dominant. Within the past, one hundred years the shift of population 'at the call of the ma chine' has been from the country to the city throughout the entire civil ized world. In 1800 the largest city in the United States contained less than 80,000 people. To-day this same city contains over five millions. In 1 800 only one person out of every 25 [lived in the city. To-day, the aver- I age is greater than one person in 1 four living in the city. In our own I great State of Ohio more than one | half of our people are now living in the cities. To-niorrow the cities will be greater and more influential than to-day. There is nothing to prevent jthis increased growth of the city. Here |ln the city will be the center of in ; fluence. Here the best and the worst will meet. Here greatest success will ; be achieved and here greatest failuro 'will be met. Here suffering will be , most keen and here death will be i most destructive. Redeemed Cities j "Students of American govern -1 ment have been telling us for some ! time that our cities are the worst gov ! erned cities in the civilized world, and : they say further that if our Republic ever fails, it will fail because of our I failure in municipal government. James Russell Lowell used to say, I 'Democracy is only an experiment.' A great English statesman who had lived in America for many years and j understood the genius of our people, |as well as our government, once de clared before a company of prominent American gentlemen in London, that 'if democracy failed In America. It would put the civilization of the world back a thousand years. This same statesman plead with these leaders ! in American life to return to America I and use every ounce of their energy I and influence to redeem our cities I from the waste of human life and I the corruption of polities in the inter -1 est of the future civilization of the i race. "Fifty years ago a great passionate hope swept through the civilized world. All over Europe the nations were blazing the way along new pro gressive lines. Democracy was sweep ing forward to new conquests. Thrones of despotic power were seen to quiver as though their foundations were being destroyed. Italy was fighting her way to freedom. The common man was driving the supreme power in Germany to recognize his rights and privileges, opening the door to the most nvarvelous develop ment of social progress along welfare lines any nation has ever experienced. America was rising like a great giant with unusual strength for conquest of every wrong. Men began to say 'The prophet's dream is being realized —the Kingdom of God is coming." Slav'es were than being freed. Progress was the watchword on every hand. Cable lines were drawing all nations together. The telephone was making all men neighbors, and everywhere Utopias were being born in the minds of men. • The Bream Unfulfilled . "In spite of all the gain which we have made, we have not reached the fulfillment of our dream. We still have poverty as extreme as ever ex isted in the world's history: poverty in the midst of unexampled wealth. We have achieved liberty for man, but still the ugly form of social in justice hides in the very shadow of the monument to liberty we have raised. We still have war and evils that are wrong. After going at length into the sub ject of needed social reforms the speaker continued: Recreation a I*rimal Necessity "American cities were built. or rather just bounded into existence for grown-ups. No provision was made | for children, and yet reer.eation Is a ! primal necessity, and never more so I than now. There has never been In the history of time, so many young children released from home to the I streets or under alien roofs as there I are now. Recreation must be provided for these. It is a necessity in the constructive program of the develop- I ment of human life. One Sunday | night, in 1908, a careful study of the | people attending theaters and movies in Chicago was made, and it was ! found that one-sixth of the entire j population was present that night. This same city made a study of the wards whence came the young delin quent boys and girls to the Juvenile Court, and they found that 80 per cent, of these delinquent boys and j girls came from seven specific wards | in Chicago, in which wards ttlere were ; but two places for play for the hun ! dreds of thousands of children. Chi-, I cago then began her playground de | velopment on which she Is spending millions. If other American cities 'are to fulfill their divine function, ( they must make provision for the . happiness of the child Den. It Is a 1 public obligatioh. The provision for j pleasure should cover the whole j period of life, beginning with the | cradle and ending with the grave. "The Declaration of Independence, i 139 years ago, declared that everyone 1 had an inalienable right to the pur -1 suit of happiness, and yet in 1915 there were 22 millions of our popula ; tion without a year-round playground. ;If we provide more park and equip : more playgrounds and provide more ! social centers for community enjoy i ment. we will build less prisons, we ■ will insure a greater output from our factories, will increase the nver- I age length of human life, and we will I multiply the happiness of the human family. "We are still far short of providing! JANUARY 4, 1916. a proper and adequate correctional system to care for the misdemeanant. Dayton is about to buy and equip a workhouse farm for the care of the minor offender. As matters now stand in almost all American Institutions, the workhouse prisoners in largo number are simply passing through the prison from society back into society and then returning again to| the prison for a little while, und then out again into society; and like the person in the Scriptures, are not made "tietter, but rather grow worse through our incomplete treatment. "I have called tci your mind these elements of weakness and these ideals of achievement to stimulate your thought and action to still greater victories. "The heart of the city is right: it is sound; it Is warm witn the life blood of sympathy and sincerity of purpose. We have a long way to go. it is true, until we reach the city of our dreams, the City of God. But we will plan for to-morrow, and hope and work and serve, assured that in some to-morrow the victory will come. Let us have faith in man, faith in good government, faith in the ability of every city to get good gov ernment. Let us believe in our city, love it, serve it, and we will in this spirit not fail to make it a splendid place to live in, to work in, to dream dreams in, a great center of human life, the backbone of the nation, the hope of the future of the race. The Material at Hand "Have we the stuff with which to build this city of our dreams? Yes —a thousand times, yes. What marvelous possibilities lie in human | nature, of wise intelligence, of high 1 purpose, of heroic endurance, of sacri ficial service, of glowing love. What ia city we can have if we dream it. i if we plan It, if we work for it, of we fight for it, if we sacrifice for it. and if need be, if we die for It—a city of homes and health and happiness and hope, a city without a slum, a city without the waste of human life, a city without want and woe and wretchedness and wickedness, a city of righteousness, and justice and truth, a city where every man and | woman and child shall lind glad Joy 1 In living and from which when life's 1 fight is finished, shall pass to that city 1 where the curse has never reached. ; Can we build this city here? We j have the stuff with which to build it. In the words of Edwin Markham: ' " 'We men of earth have here the stuff Of Paradise —we have enough! I We nteed no other thing to build | The stairs in to the Unfulfilled — No other Ivory for the doors 1 No other marble for the floors— I No other cedar for the beam ' And dome of man's immortal dream. Here on the paths of every day— Here on the common human way— Is all the busy gods would take To build a heaven, to mould and make New Edens. Ours the stuff sublime To build Eternity in time?'"
