Washington, D. G., April 7.-Home
gardening directed by the school is
offered by Dr.. p. P. Claxtoa, u. S.
Commissioner Of Education, as a SO.
luton. for some Of the NEST pressing
educational and economic problems
IN city and suburban life. DR.. Clax-
t0l would have every vacant town
lot transformed into a garden. where
boys and girls would raise ~vegetab.

and for profit. He would have ono
teacher in the community employed
IL months ii the year to teach ele-
mentary science in school and direct
the home-gardel work after school,
on Saturdays, and during the sum-
mer vacation.
""Of the II, 1900 children between
the ages Of 6 and 20 IN the cities,
towns. manufacturing villages, and
suburban communities of the United
States says DR.. Claxton, mot more
than Is per cent are away from

engaged. in regular employment. The
remaining 80 per cent remain at nome
large part of their time. On the other
hand. there is much valuable land in
back yards and vacant lots that Is
serving no useful purpose. The prob
lem is to bring this land and these
children together.

or for sale. The canning AID tomato
clubs of the Southern States have
already shown What can be done in
this way.
ut is Difficult: to estimate the re-
suits of this plan when it shall be
in full operation throughout the
country. For the children it will mean
health. strength, jQy~.in work. habits
of industry, in understanding of tae
value of money, as measured in terms
Of labor and such knowledge of the
phenomena and forces of nature as
must be had for AM understanding
of most Of their school lessons. They
will also learn something at least
OF the fundamental principle of NOR
atty; that each individual must
make his or her own living: must.
by some kind Of labor Of head, hand,
or heart, contribute to the common
wealth as mucl as he takes from it,
must pay fer what he gets In some
kind of coin.
"This plan in full operation would
probably do more toward keeping
sou children out Of the factories and
mills than all Of the child labor Jaws
on the statute books. A boy 10 or IL
years OF age, with a quarter Of an
acre of land. working under careful
direction. can produce more for the
support Of the family than could be
purchased with the. chill's,. wages
from the mill. Children should not
be ground in the mills o sweated
in the factories; tleir strength should
not be Slapped. and their nerves rack
ed by working in the heat and dust
of indoors yet all children should
learn to wcrk;; it S good for them and

Kansas City, Mo-, April 1.-The case
Of DR.. W. I. Elan, under indictment
for first degree. murder, will be call
ed in. court tomorrow and it is expect
ed the trial will proceed within a few

DR.. Elan had previously prepared a.
to PROFOUND to Cramer. The latter
was accompanied to the hotel by his
attorney and Dr.. ELAN was attended
by a private detective whom he had
hired to shadow Cramer and Mrs.
Elan. At the time of the conference,
however, the two principals were
alone in the room and there were no
witnesses to the tragedy. Following
single shot from a revolver DR..
Elan came out of the room and is al:
legged to have declared that he had
killed the destroyer. of his home. La
ter, however, he tsated that the shoot
ing was an accident and that he did
not know how it had occurred. The
victim Of the shooting died almost in
stantly, DR.. Elan is a resident of st.
Louis and for many years had 0ccup-
led a high place in the medical pro-
fessiOn. Cramer, the victim of the
tragedy, was an advertising solicitor
for a we'll known magazine and lived
with his wife in Chicago. After the
killing Mrs. Elan went to Detroit to
reside with her mother.

TELLS Of HARD FIGHT
ON PUBLIC OWNERSHIP
Mayor Baker Of Cleveland Charges
There Is Campaign of Mis-
representation.

PHILADELPHIA, November IA
There was a symposium on the sub
ject of municipal ownership today by
the delegates attending the meeting in
this city of the mayors and other Off
cials of various American and Canadian
cities. Newton D. Baker. mayor of
Cleveland, who presided. declared that
the most formidable obstacle in the
way of the movement to have all pub
lie utilities owned and operated by the
municipalities is a widespread CAM
paign of Misrepresentation being con-
Quoted by large public utility compa-
MES.
He displayed pamphlets dealing de-
rogatively with the public ownership
principle which have been circulated
in Cleveland. This, he said, was done
by corporations which formerly had a
monopoly of public utilities. Similar
campaigns are being carried on in
every part of the country where public
ownership has been advocated, he said.
"In Cleveland there has been an al
most unbelievable falsif1cation of
facts" Mayor Baker said. Public own
ership has been proven both efficient
and economic in our city. but the large
corporations have twisted the figures
and facts in such way as to prove
their own arguments"
Among those who took part in the
discussion were Mayors Curley of Bos-
ton, Harrison of Chicago and Mitchell of
New York.

IF KIDNEYS and
BLADDER BOTHER
Take a glass of Salts to flush
: out your Kidneys and neu-
tralize irritating acids.

Kidney and Bladder weakness
trcsult from uric acid. says noted
authority. The kidneys filter this
acid from the blood and pass it on
TO the bladder, where it often re-
mains to irritate and inf1ame, caus-
ing a burning, scalding sensation,
!, or setting up an irritation at the
neck of the bladder, obligiiig you
ITO seek relief two or three times
during the night The sufferer is
in constant dread. the water passes
sometimes with scalding sensa-
tion and is very profuse; again,
there is difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks
call il. because they can't control
urination. While it is extremely
annoying and sometimes very pain
full this is really one of the most
( simple ailments to overcome. Get
about four ounces of Jad Salts
I from your pharmacist and take a
! tablespoonful in glass of water
} before breakfast, continue this for
J two or three days. This will neu-
J tral.zc the acids in the urine so it
I no longer is source of irritation
to the bladder and urinary organs,
which then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, HARM
less, and is made from the acid
J OF grapes and lemon juice, COM
J bined with lithia, and is used by
} thousands of folks who are subject
to urinary disorders caused by
I uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is
splendid for kidneys and causes
no bad effects whatever.
( Here you have a pleasant, effer-
}vescent lithia-water drink, which
iquickly relieves bladder troubles.
