active and clean, and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney
region, get about four ounce of Jad
Salts from any good drug store here,
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 grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and is harmless to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate
them to normal activity. 1t also neu-
tralizes the acids in the urine SO 1t

CITIES FAILURE OF LAW IN S0-CALLED DRY CITIES.

Expressing the conviction that
Statewide prohibition would direc-
thy increase the already heavy tax
burden, and that its enactment
would be followed by widespread
violations of the law in many sec
tions of the State. Eppa Hunton,
Jl.. one Of the foremost members
of the Richmond bar and a law

Of the State. has issued state
ment warning Virginia against the
adoption of the law.
Mr.. IIuntou reviews the ISSUE
carefully and with the restraint OF
the judicial mind accustomed to
look at both sides of every problem.
He comes to the conclusion that
Statewide prohibition would in no
mar lessen the sum total Of intem-
nee in the State. and that an:
mpt to impose it upon COM
titles where Local Option is
~, 'erred. would bring the admin
1tion of law into disrepute and

"In reaching this conclusion, J

Violates Self-GOvernment

Violates Self-G0Vernment
Having reached this conclusion
upon the moral question. feel en-
tirely free to deal with prohibition
from other viewpoints. State wide
prohibition is IL violation of the
fundamental principle Of Local
Self Government. and is unfair
and unjust to those portions of the
Estate which are opposed to this
sumptuary legislation. No law
can be enforced which is not sup
ported by public opinion. and if
Virginia should adopt State-wid"
prohibition. in many parts of the
State We will have similar condi-
tions to those existing in Atlanta.
Savannah. and many other places.
1t cannot be denied by the al
vocates of Statewide prohibition
that its adoption will diminish the
revenues of the State. The last re-
port of the Auditor shows that
Virginia collected from liquor Ii"
cnses for the year ending Sept
cmber 30. 1913. the sum OF 1922
10000. 1t is claimed by the adj
vocatcs Of Local Option that the
taxes derived from other sources
connected with the traffic will III
crease the revenues OF the Statc
from that source to about three
Quarters of million dollars.
1T is claimed by some CT the adj
vo"atps CT Statewide prohibition
that the steadily increasing value
oi the real estate and personal
property in Virginia Will make
up the lost revenue. This may
be true although 10 not believe
it). but these gentlemen lose sight
Of the fact that the expenses OF
the State are increasing at least
as rapidly as its income. and that

make a people of law breakers, ny
pocritcs and periurers.
During this campaign, in many
pulpits. there have been politiea'
harrangues which have no place
in a house of worship.
Il am convinced that prohibition
not only does not stop nor diminish
the consumption Of alcoholic bev-
crages, nor elevate the moral tone
OF people. but it is in many ways
injurious and accomplishes the re
verse Of what is desired by its lion-
est advocates.
