might seriously stand in the way of
the proper performance of our duty as
the one great nation at peace, the one
people holding itself ready to play a
part Of impartial mediation and speak
the counsels of peace and accommoda-

Solemn Word of Warning.
IT venture, therefore, my fellow
countrymen. to speak a solemn word
of warning to you against that deepest.
most subtle, most essential breach of
neutrality which may spring out Of
craftsmanship, out of passionately TAX
ing sides. The United States must be
neutral in fact as well as in name dur
ing these days that are to try mems
souls. We must be impartial in
thought as well as in action, must put
curb on our sentiments as we'll as
on every transaction that might be
construed as a performance of one
party to the struggle before another.
MY thought is of"-America. / am
speaking, / feel sure the earnest wish
and purpose of every thoughtful Amer
lean that this great country of ours
which is, of course, the first in our
thoughts and in our hearts, should
show herself in this time of peculiar
trial a nation fit beyond others to ex-
hibit the fine poise Of undisturbed
judgment, the dignity of self central
the efficiency of dispassionate action;
nation that neither sits in judgment
on others nor Is disturbed in her own
counsels and which keeps herself fit
and free to do what is honest and dis
interested and truly servlceable for the
peace of the world.
Shall we not resolve to put on our
selves the restraint which will bring to
our people the happiness and the great
and lasting influence for peace we
covet for them?"

CENTRAL HIGH ALUMNI
TO GIVE Corner STONE
Association Desires to Perpetuate
Memories in Gift to New
Building.

The corner stone Of the new Central
High School building, ground for
which was broken at 18th and Clifton

sion are fulfilled. This was the state
ment today by Fred L. Fishback, presi-
dent Of the association.
While nothing definite has been de-
cided as yet" said Mr.. Fishback. there
is every probability that the gift of the
association to the new building of Cen
trail High will be the corner stone.
That the association will also present
other gifts and memorials TO the new
building is, of course, assured. But the
memory Of those who have graduated
from old Central is to be perpetuated
In the corner stone of the new struc-
ture, unless something wholly unfore-
seen occurs to make a change Of plans
seem advisable" d..
The date for the laying Of the corner
stone has not been fixed, nor have the
plans Of the Alumni Association as
sumed definite form. Before the date
for the ceremony is settled, however
IT Is hoped to have all the plans for
the associations part in the ceremo-
MES perfected and the design, inscrip-
ton, etc. for the corner stone formally
determined upon by the former students
of the school.

Drink lots of water-you can't
drink too much; also get from any
pharmacist about four ounces of Jad
Salts; take tablespoonful in glass
of water before breakfast each
morning for a few days and your
kidneys will act fine. This famous

grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for
generations to clean and stimulate
clogged kidneys; also to neutralize
the acids in urine SO it no longer is
source of irritation, thus ending
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot
injure, makes a delightful effer-
tescer1t lithia-water drink which
every one should take now and
then to keep their kidneys clean and

natives have been unable to kill the

Indians and Eskimos. Every day they

INQUIRY BY SENATE
INTO VALUE Of CANAL
Appropriation Proposed for Chesa-

Insufficient.

The Senate today passed, a resolution
offered by Senator Salisbury of Delaware
authorizing the Senate committee on
coast and insular surveys to investigate
and report upon the ownership and value
Of the stock of the Chesapeake and Della
ware Canal Company.
Mr.. Salisbury explained that an item
for the purchase of the canal by the gov
eminent is contained in the House rivers
and harbors bill, that he thought this sum
inadequate, and it was necessary to get
further information before the Senate
could act intellgently upon the matter.
The canal is to be an important link in
the inside waterway from Boston to the
Gulf Of Mexico. Senator Salisbury told
the Senate he expected the investigation
into this matter would be completed in
a week or ten days.

Salts Harmless to Flush Kidneys
and Neutralize Uric Acid,
Thus Ending Bladder
Trouble.

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with
a lot OF drugs that excite the kid
neys and irritate the entire urinary
tract. Keep your kidneys clean
like you keep your bowels clean, by
flushing them with mild, harmless
salts which removes the body's
( urinous waste and stimulates them
! to their normal activity. The func-
. ton of the kidneys is to filter the
(. blood. In "a hours they strain

CANAL BUILT BY j. S.

German Poet, as Early as 1927,
Foresaw Wedding Of the

The fact that the German poet Goethe
predicted as early as 1927 that canal
would be built by the United States at
Panama Is an interesting fact just called
attention to publicly by Fred ]. Braendle
Of 1885 10Th street northwest. Mr.. Braen-

SAYS FAMILY HEALTH
DEMANDS SANITATION
Bulletin Declares Every Farm
house Should Have Simple
System.

No matter how attractive and well ar
ranged a farmhouse may be in every
other respect. the health of the family
inhabiting it is in danger without a
simple sanitary system. says a recent
bulletin of the United States Department
of Agriculture. 1t is matter that
should not be postponed, but should be
considered the moment it is needed.
The department has just issued a bull
letin giving a detailed description Of a
simple and suitable system for the aver
age farm home. which will be sent to
any farmer free on application. 1t is the
result of careful study, and convenience.
comfort and economy have all been con-
sidered.
A pure water supply is one of the most
important factors in farm life today. as
typhoid fever. dysentery and other dis
orders may be carried by impure waters.
Farm water supplies are very subject to
pollution. OF seventy mine typical water
supplies in Minnesota, investigations
| showed that twenty were good and fifty
| nine polluted. Twenty-Five of those pol
| luted were bad only because of poor sur
| face protection, and could easily have
| been made safe. Practically all the sur
| face supplies were polluted. During these
Investigations twenty-three of the farms
| examined showed d record Of typhoid
| fever.
| Pollution of Farm Wells.
| Farm wells are often polluted from To-
cal sources. They are often located for
convenience near the barn or stable, or
close to the back door, out of which
household slops are thrown. The soil
surrounding the well becomes saturated
with organic filth and allows the surface
water percolating through it to carry its
| load of contamination into the well.
| Where underground waters are hard tc
| obtain, cisterns may be used where the
store of rain water and surface supplies
| will be filtered and partially purified.
The plumbing system for the average
farm home should be simple and its ma
terial and construction should be durable
Water pipes should be arranged so as to
carry the water in as nearly straight
line as possible to the point Of discharge
The use of lead pipe or lead-lined recep.
tacles for drinking water should be avoid
| ed in small private systems.
