CUT OUT MEATS IF KIDNEYS ARE TROUBLING YOU Uric Acid in meat excites Kidneys and Irritates the Bladder. Noted Authority says we must flush Kidneys with Salts if Back hurts. We are a nation of meat eaters and our blood is filled with uric acid, says a well-known authority, who warns us to be constantly on guard against kidney tiouble. The kidneys do their utmost to free the blood of this irritating acid, but become weak from the overwork; they get sluggish; the elimlnative tissues clog and thus the waste is retained In the blood to poison the entire system. When your kidneys ache and feel like lumps of lead, and you have stinging pains in the back or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or the bladder is irritable, obliging you to seek relief during the night; when you have severe headaches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid stom ach or rheumatism In bad weather, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoon ful in a glSise of water before break fast each morning and in a few days your kidneys will act flue. This famous salts Is made from the acid of grape:* and lemon juice, comblnad with Uthia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neutralize the acids in urine so it is no longer a source of Irritation, thus ending urin ary and bladder disorders. Jad Salts Is Inexpensive and can not injure; makes a delightful effer vescent. lithia-woter drink and nobody can make a mistake by taking a little occasionally to keep the kidneys clean and active. —Advertisement. -.-.-.---.".A. - j: Stock Transfer jj j: Ledger \ £ i J.

The State collected the last of the personal property tax in 1914 when some balances were se cured. Under the State administration of the tax the values went away above the billion dollar mark, Pennsylva nia returning more personal property for taxation than any other State and last year when the 1914 figures were made up it was shown that some counties had slipped back, although there had been no marked loss of wealth. For about five years the State retained from a million to a million and a quarter dollars for its share of the personal property tax and in the present low state of the finances it is much regretted at the Capitol. Last session a couple of bills were presented to repeal the act making the tax wholly a county tax, but they did not get anywhere, but the low finances will cause similar bills to ap pear next time in the opinion of the fiscal officers. Hence the care which lis being taken to watch up the valu ations and not to let them slip down. 1,000 Injured Every Day. More | than a thousand workmen in one ! branch of industry or another in !

Says that journal: "The heavy j business in finished steel put on the j books of the leading steel companies! In the past two weeks has resulted in '■ a situation unparalleled in the his_tory of the trade. It now appears that the largest producers are sold up for 1916 on heavier products, particularly shapes and plates, and that they have little left for the fourth quarter in lighter products. "Considerable sales of plates and shapes have been made for the first quarter of 1917, more especially to shipyards, and on plates 2.10 c., and in some cases 2.25 c., Pittsburgh, has been paid on these contracts. "Shell steel was a factor in this late buying—how large is not yet clear. French requirements in large rounds were covered to an extent estimated as high as 250,000 tons. One of these contracts. It Is reported, was for up wurd of 100,000 tons. "Railroad needs are coming out, in the rush of buyers in other lines to cover for the last half of the year. In the past week Steel Corporation mills have sold 23,000 tons of rails, the largest single order being 7,500 tons for the Minneapolis and St. Louis. About 25,000 cars are pending, the Northwestern having just inquired for 5,000 to 6,000, in addition to 90 loco motives. Locomotive buying is large, 120 having been closed in the past week, while there are inquiries for 275. Much of the present transpor tation breakdown is due to shortage of motive power."

Halt Federal Probe of Brewers' Activities While Legality Is Inquired Into Pittsburgh, Feb. 10.—After hearing one witness in the proposed probing of expenditures of brewery interests in political campaign work faie federal grand Jury was adjourned until Thurs day next. Meanwhile Judges Charles P. Orr and W. 11. S. Thomson, of the United States Court, will hear argument and pass upon a motion made in behalf of the brewers to quash the entire pro ceedings upon the score that there is no warrant in law for the contem plated investigation. The inquiry was started by United Slates District Attorney E. Lowry Humes, who, with other federal offi cials, is said to have been investigating the financial expenditures of brewers in Pennsylvania and other States for political purposes for the last two years. Mr. Humes has been actively iden tified with the Palmer-McCormick leadership of the State Democracy and it is known that friends of McCormick, who ran for Governor on a local option platform and who WOK defeated for that office by Martin G. Brumbaugh, the Republican nominee, have been eager to show that money was spent in large sums by brewers of Pennsylvania in the interest, of the Republican ticket. That, of course, would include the can didacy of Botes Penrose for re-election to the United States Senate. Mr. Patton Disposes of Holdings in Local Company Some errors Inadvertently crept into a reference in tiie Telegraph, a few days ago, to the present personnel of the management of the Harrisburg Pipe and Pipe Bending Company. Tt was stated that certain changes of the officials were contem-oraneous with the retirement of J. Hervy Patton, who disposed of his interest in the company last month. As a matter of fact Mr. Patton has not been manager of the company since December, 1912, when W. T. TlHdrup, Jr., became general manager and also secretary and treas urer.' having continued as general man ager until the present time. Mr. Patton was succeeded as presi dent by David K. Tracy in May. 1914, and there has been no change in the officials since that date, but last De cember the holdings of Mr. Patton In tho slock of the company were taken ever by Messrs. Tracy and Hildrup, two of the original trio in the founding of the plant, and E. C. Frey was at the some time elected assistant treasurer of tit a company. Mr. Starkey has held the office of general superintendent since May, 1914, the oaly. actual cttaust la lit oosip&nx 11 teing the retirement of Mr. Patton through the sale of his holdings to liis associate partners. | At the present time the officers arc: D. K. Tracy, president; E. Z. Wallower, vice-president; W. T. Hildrup, Jr., gen- I cral manager, secretary and treasurer; Y. r . P. Starkey, general superintendent, j and E. C.
