Approved by State
Board of Education

The State Board of Education held
its regular quarterly session Tues
day in the Office of the State Super
intendent of Schools. The book con-
tracts for 1914 to 1919 were approved.
Within the next few days the new
book lists and the courses of study
provided by the State Superintendent
will be mailed to county superinten-
dents and the various book deposito-
ries. There was some delay in get
ting the contracts for new books APP
proved, because the State Board has
eXacted some new concessions, par
ticularly in the matter of exchanging
books now in use for the new ones
This should result in considerable
saving to the school children con-
cerned.

j. 8. PROBATION
LAW IS URGED
BY MOYER
Warden Of Atlanta Prison, in Re-
port, Also Favors Pay for
Convicts' Labor.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O.-A Fed
eral probation law, compensation for
prisoners labor and other reforma-
tive measures are recommended in
the annual report of Warden William
II. Meyer, of the Atlanta Federal
Prion, submitted to Attorney General
McReynolds and made public in its
entirety to-day.
Meyer makes a strong stand in his
report f ora strong probation law
which, he contends, is of much great
er efficiency from pathological
standpoint than the parole law.
'The parole law" says the warden,
does not save the man from the dis
grace of going to prison. A vide pro-
baton law would accomplish this,
and there is no doubt that many
would be reformed by tbs application
before the prison stamped it's indeli-
BILE mark on the mans record
Warden Meyer devotes considerable
space to a discussion of the benefit
that the baseball games have been At
the prison. He asserts that they have
been of inestimable benefit in obtain
ing discipline and in making the pris-
oners understand that it is n t the il
tention of the authorities to grino
them cruelty simply because they
have offended against come Of the
Federal laws.

BUDGET FIGHT IS
BASED On FIRE
ALARM COST
Gambler Leads CounciImen in
Move to Pay Company Only
Five Thousand Dollars.

Chairman w C. Humphrey, of the
Council Finance Committee, Tuesday
hurled defiance at the opponents of
the new budget and declared that the
Finance Committee would stand to-
gether and put it through as it now
stands.
1T is good finance sheet and
When the members Of Council have
studied It ! am confident they will
realize it is their duty to support it,"
he said.

effort, and only the interests of the
whole city were considered by the
final. actions.
of course all the needs of the city
are not taken care of. The Council
can't change the budget and provide
for them. And YOU can bet your hat
the budget will pass as ii is"
Woodward for Budget.
Mayor Woodward is heartily back
of Chairman Humphrey. He declared
1t was time to have harmony in the
city government, adding:
IF they don't buy that fire alarm
system this year l don't know when
thew will buy: but it won't he on
any moral obligation plan"
With the new budget made pub
lie, fight by Councilmen was de
termined upon Tuesday against the
item offering $3.50 to the Okonite
Company. of New York, for the new
fire alarm system.
Some members of Council would
appropriate all this money but $4,000
for other purposes. Alderman John
s. Gambler expressed his opinion of
the item to number of members of
the Finance Committee following the
adjournment of Council Monday
afternoon in this wise:
you can't put anything like that
over. There Is nothing but politics
back of it.
I'VE have a good contract with the
Okonite Company to rent that sys-
tenn for one year for $4,000. If at
the end of that time we want to buy
it, we can.
1T is absurd to try to buy a Gre
matory and a fire alarm system in
one year. We cant do it. Instead
of $4,000. the Council will give YOU

districts
A caucus is agreed upon by ma
jority of the members of Council who
are not members of the Finance
Committee
Await Copies of Budget.
They Will met as soon as City
Clerk Taylor furnishes copies of the
budget.
1t is doubtful II the opposition to
the budget can muster a majority in
Council, but it is reported that five
members of the Aldermanic Board
have agreed to hold it up until it is
amended as the caucus decides.
Another action of the Finance
Committee to arouse particular oppo-
sition was the adjustment of the jobs
of Sidewalk Inspectors DAlvigny and
Dozier of the Construction Depart
ment Their salaries were 81 200 each,
Friends of these men in Council de-
clared Tuesday they would be re-
instated.
The committee was prudent with
the political AK, but it did what all
the recent Finance Committees con-
sidered doing, but never took the
step.
1t abolished the office of Assistant
City Treasurer at $500 a year. Treas
urer Thomas Peoples is left to do all
the work at a salary of 81, 900 a year.
Some of the Improvements left out
that viii be insisted upon will be a
nurses dormitory at the Grady Hos
pital, more money for the adjustment
of Whitehall street and intersecting
| streets.
Residents of the West Side have
| called an Indignation meeting for
Tuesday night at s O'Clock in the
| Jones Avenue Baptist Church to pro-
test Ggains, the neglect of the Davis
| Street School by the Finance Com
| mittee. They urge that the present
building is a disgrace TO the city.
Money Will Not Go Around.

| ed in every section, but there is no!
nearly enough money for them all. II
| is not likely that any other appro-
| priation besides the $4,000 for the
| fire alarm contract will be recalled.
| In contrast to the attitude of the
| Councilmen is the complacency oil

Jesse Armistead introduced a resolu-
| ton Monday to make the increase II
the pay of teachers effective at once
instead of September /. 1t was re-

IF KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache Is Sign You Have
Been Eating Too Much
Meat.

When you wake up with backache and
dull misery in the kidney region II gen
orally means you have been eating too
much meat, says well-known author
ity. Meat forms uric acid which over
works 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 bow
els. removing all the body's urinnus
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, wa
ter scalds and you are obliged to seek
relief two or three times during the
night.
Either consult a good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharma-
cist about ounces of Jad Salts; take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water be-
fore breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then act fine This ia
nous salts is made from the acid Of
grapes and lemon juice, ombined with

Jad Salts is life saver for regular
meat eaters 1t is inexpensive, can not
injure and makes a delightful, effer-
vescent lithia- water drink.-Advt.
