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-

SAVE YOUR HAIR ~
Al BEAUTIFY II
WiTH INOERINE"
Spend 25 cents! Dandruff dis- :
appears and hair stops
coming out.
Try this! Hair gets beautiful,'
wavy and thick in few
moments.
If you care for heavy hair, that
glistens with beauty and is radiant
| with life; has an incomparable soft
; ness and is fluffy and lustrous, try
j Danderine.
! Just one application doubles the
i beauty of your hair, besides it im
j mediately dissolves every particle of
1 dandruff; you cannot have nice, heavy
healthy hair if you have dandruff.
: This destructive scurf robs the hair
j of its lustre, its strength and its very
life, and if not overcome it produces
| a feverishness and itching of the scalp:
| the hair roots famish, loosen and die;
! then the hair falls out fast.
If your hair has been neglected
I and is thin, faded, dry, scraggy or too
' oily, get a 25-cent bottle of Knowl
' ton's Danderine at any drug store or
' toilet counter; apply a little as di
rected and ten minutes after you will
say this was the best investment you
ever made. •
We sincerely believe, regardless of
anything else advertised, that if you
j desire soft, lustrous, beautiful hair
and lots of It—no dandruff—llo itch

you must use Knowlton's Danderine.

PAINTS PICTURE
OF FUTURE CITY
! [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

Dayton is about to buy and equip a

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?'"
