by CARL MILAN

Art. Industrial and educational cx-
hibits ought TO be n frequent thing In
a library Some things can he more

1t is reasonable to expect, therefore,
that tho public library will make use
of exhibits. both because of their in
trinsic worth and because they bring
new people TO the library.
The kind of exhibits usually shown in
libraries are exhibits Illustrating tho
work of children in the schools; AZ
hibits of local artists. pottery eNhib-
its; exhibits of local industries, show
ing how things are made, good roads
exhibits; Sunday school exhibits, eN-
hibits of bird and animal pictures. local
history exhibits, etc.
Most of these exhibits can be secured
by the library at almost no expense.
and they have an important place In
making the library OF value to shc

BIC EATERS GET
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take Salts at First Sign Of
Bladder Irritation or
BaCkache.

The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trou-
BILE, because we eat too much and all
our food is rich. Our blood is filed with
uric acid which the kidneys strive to
filter out, they weaken from overwork,
become sluggish; the eliminative tissues
clog and the result Is kidney trouble,
bladder weakness and general decline
in health.
When your kidneys feel like humps of
lead your back hurts or the urine is
cloudy, full of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three times
during the night; if you suffer with
sick headache or dizzy, nervous spells,
acid stomach. or you have rheumatism
when the weather is bad, 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 grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia. and has been used for gen.
erations TO flush and stimulate clogged
kidneys; to neutralze the acids in the
urine so it no longer is source of irr-
tation, thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; can not in
jure, makes delightful effervescent
lithia- water beverage, and belongs in
every home. because nobody can make
a mistake by having good kidney
flushing any time-Advt

NEVER AGAIN
SAYS MAYOR
NO MORE TRUSTEES" WILL GET
TO sNoOP AROUND HIS PREM
IsEs IF HE SEES THEM FIRST

Mayor Roberts is convinced that
there is such a thing as being too
good to some who are convicted in
the city court, and in default of ready
cash are compelled to work out their
fines.
Some time ago negro from Atoka
blew into town and shortly after blew
into the city jail for stealing a pair
of shoes. He was an agreeable coon
and was made a handy man about the
place, with a good many privileges
granted him. When his term was near
4 expired, the mayor sent him to his
home on West Main street, to do some
little chore about the place, and the
negro chanced to arrive at a time
when the folks were all away, and he
proceeded to go through the place
He got handful of rings, watches,
stick pins and other jewelry and
made a getaway. When the family re-
turned and made the discovery, the
police Immediately began looking for
Andy as he was known here. They
soon found him with some of the
goods on his person, and after a brief
night session he told where more was
hidden. but some valuable rings were
missing that he said he did not get,
Andy was taken to the county jail,
and given year and day in the
penitentiary at McAlester, and while
there, it DEVELOPED through another
trusty, that Andy had a sweetheart at
Atoka. He wrote this woman telling
her not to wear certain rings when
she visited him here, and this letter
fell into the hands of Sheriff Garrett.
Horace Kendall was dispatched to
Atoka and brought the woman back
with him, and also the rings, which
were restored to their owner. The wo-
man maintained that she did not know
the rings were stolen, and as there
was no direct proof that she did, she
was turned loose, while Andy will
assist Bob Dick for the next year at
McAlester, in making the state farm
paying institution.

suited. The pupils will assemble at
the various schools in the afternoon
at $3.50 O'Clock and march to Main
street, the pupils from the second
and fourth ward schools will arrive
at Main street near the Wilmington
hotel, and the pupils from the first

ular four ring circus at the park in
