The demand for homes in Tucker
man is very pressing at present. If
there were fifty houses for rent they
would all be occupied within a very
short time. In view of the fact that
real estate is in such demand several
persons contemplate building new
homes sometime during next year.
In fact Contractor A. R. Anderson
has already provided several with
plans and specifications for new
building and has probably contract
ed to build more than one new build
ing during the next few months.
BIRTHDAY ENTERTAIN M ENT.
Mrs. Mary Armstrong, one of
Tuckerman’s oldest inhabitants, was
entertained September 18 by her
children in honor of her seventy-sixth
birthday at the home of her daugh
ter, Mrs. L. D. Smith. This custom
has been observed since her fiftieth
birthday. Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Arm
strong and family and Mr. and Mrs.
C. E. Harrison and family have al
ways been present. JNo tamiiy re
union was ever more pleasantly
spent than this one occasion. Last
year Mrs. Mary Hogan was with the
family at her seventy-fifth birthday,
but since, she has passed away and
her absence was keenly felt by all
present. Two others were added to
the family just before the celebration
this year, Mrs. Otis Armstrong and
Mrs. Coe Smith. Mrs. Armstrong
was remembered with many useful
gifts, which will enable her to live
very comfortably.
CAR OVERTURNED.
The large seven-passenger Reo car
owned by Walter Coe skidded from
the Campbell levee between Tucker
man and Newport Saturday night and
turned turtle in the ditch below. The
water was about two feet deep and
that none of the occupants were in
jured is almost miraculous. Boyce
Coe was the chauffeur and says the
accident happened so quickly he was
unable to prevent it. The occupants j
of the car were Mrs. W. 1’. Davis and
daughter, Mrs. W. N. Coe and baby,!
and Misses Mattie Bowen and Kath
erine Smith. The top of the car was
completely demolished and the oc
cupants given a good drenching in
the icy water. When the car was
taken out and the ruined top remov
ed it was seemingly 'uninjured and
no difficulty was had in running it.
SCHOOL MATTERS.
Work on the new school building is
progressing rapidly. The eight class
rooms on the lower floor are expected
to be complete and ready for occu
pancy by Monday, the 7th day of'
October, when school is open. The
board has completed the work of se
lecting the faculty with the exception
of one teacher for the high school de
partment. They have several appli
cations for this vacancy and will
probably have secured some one for
the place by the opening date.
In addition to the new school build
ing the board recently let the contract
for the erection of a large residence
on the school grounds which will b«
occupied by the principal when com
pleted. Residences for rent are near
ly always hard to procure here and
the board came near losing their
present superintendent this year be
cause of the difficulty in securing a
place for him and his family to re
side. Even though that condition of
affairs were eliminated it is well to
have such a building On the premises
so that there may always be some
one in charge of the premises. Much
damage to the school property nas
been done here during the past ten
years because no one seemed to be
in authority that would assume con
trol of the property.

matter would be welcomed by every
line of business.

IF KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache is a sign you have been
eating too much meat, which
forma uric acid.
When you Wake up with backache and
dull misery in the kidney region it gen
erally means you have been eating too
much meat, says a well-known authority.
Meat forma uric acid which overworks
the kidneys in their effort to filter it
from the blood and they become sort of
paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneyB
get sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels; re
moving 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.
Either consult a good, reliable physi
cian at once or get from your pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grape.
and lemon juice, combined with lithi.i
and has been used for generations t
clean and stimulate sluggish k
also to neutralize acids in the urine an i.
no longer irritates, thus endii.g l*i.u:d«
