the main drain, R. A Hart, senior
drainage engineer of the Ü. 8. de

the project and stated that he con

Estimates are that about 6,000 acres
of land are embraced within the dis

Park City. The proposition is to drain
such lands as have become useless
from growth of swamps and marshes,
induced by a ecu mu lotions of surplus
irrigation water in the lowlands.
Sheepmen Hindered by Snow
Mucli difficulty has been experi
enced this fall by the sheep men In
getting their flocks out of the moun
tains on account of the heavy snows
that have fallen. W, V. Johnson of
Kirby was caught In the Big Horn
mountains with a large baud, and to
get out found it necessary to dig
through snow In places as much as
15 feet deep. It was necessary to cut
the band into small hunches and trail
them over roads shoveled out by hand.
Five days were required to get over the
mountain—a trip that Is usually made
in one day. While this made it very
slow and with hut very little feed
available, no material losses occurred.

UM
NEYS ACT
AD TAKE SALTS
Backache Often Means You Have Not Been
Drinking Enough Water
Says
Either consult a good, reliable physi
cian at once or get from your pharma
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys may then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
iithia, and has been used for years to
help clean and stimulate sluggish kid
neys, also to neutralize acids in the
system, so they no longer irritate, thus
often relieving bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpenisve, cannot in
jure and makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink. Drink lots of soft
water. By all means have your physi
cian examine your kidneys at least twice
a year.
When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region it
may mean you have been eating foods
which create acids, says a well-known
authority. An excess of such acids
overworks the kidneys in their effort to
filter it from the blood and they become
sort of paralyzed and loggy. When
your kidneys get sluggish and clog you
must relieve them, like you relieve your
bowels, removing all the body's urinous
waste, else you have backache, sick
headache, dizzy spells ; your stomach
sours, tongue is coated, and when the
weather is bad you have rheumatic
twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of
sediment, channels often get sore, water
scalds and you are obliged to seek relief
two or three times during the night.
