That's What's the Matter
With Hannah.

A few of The Influential leaders in
civic affairs who belong to the swell
locker clubs are raising a tempest in a
teapot because of the bulletins pub
lished by the Forward Movement. They
also jump astride Chief Beavers Shout
ders because OF the vice crusade
The truth is these Influential lad
ers" are not mad about what they pro
claim they are mad about.
few weeks ago the chief waged a
war upon few of the locker clubs or
the lower strata. in addition to this,
the Court of Appeals has recently de-
clared that all the so-called locker clubs
are violators of the prohibition law
The Influential leaders" are afraid
the war will involve their own cher
ished institutions.
Prostitution may flourish but when
the unholy hand OF the law threatens
the locker clubs Of the rich, then these
leaders raise their hands in holy horror
against the Religious and Forward
Movement.
The fact is. the reason that Beavers
fight against vice has not been wholly
successful is because of the hitherto
secret opposition of the so-called "in-
fluential leaders In civic affairs"
There would have been no social evil
If all Atlanta's chiefs of police way
back yonder had done as Beavers is do
ing The evil has been fastened upon
the city because officials perJured
themselves in protecting it by "segre-
cation" Men have waxed rich and fat
upon the infamy of segregation and 1t
is hard TO uproot a vice so strongly en-
trenched amid the influential leaders
in civic affairs"
1t is the same old phara saical cry
that was raised when Christ was on
earth.
The bargain and sale OF female chas-
tity is crime against God-made and
man-made laws.
Too long, oh. too long, have the min
ions of law permitted these gilded pal
aces Of sin to lay tribute upon the
homes of the country
The influential leaders in civic af-
fairs may rave until like the sea, they
lash themselves into foam. They
may call conventions and protest
against the crusade made TO stamp out
vice. But far above the roar OF the tea
pot tempest will stand the Religious
and Forward Movement and chief Bea-
, ers. twin Gibraltars, against which the
leaders" will fray them
selves into harmless and inocuous des-
letuso

Queen Eleanora, putting aside roy
al reserve, has made a pathetic APP
peal to the Christianity of the world.
In a cablegram to the Hearst papers
she asked that they. with their enor
nous national circulation, open
fund in which the people of America
might come to the aid of the stricken
nation.
Responding to the cry for aid, The
Atlanta Georgian and The Sunday
American, together with the other
papers in the Hearst chain, have
placed the pitiable condition of the
Balkan refugees before the people and
asked for their help and sympathy.
These papers will accept subscrip-
tons from all points in the South
Every contribution will be acknowl
edged and forwarded to the heaaquar-
ters of the Red Cross Society in
Washington.
individuals, as well as the churches
in Chicago, New York, Boston and
other large cities of the courrry, are
contributing to the cause. Atlanta
and the rest of the South must do
their part in the great work of mercy.
Writer Describes Conditions.
Mrs. Georgiana King Lewis, the au-
thoress, whose book on the Balkans
reveals a wide knowledge of the Bull
garian people, has written for the
Hearst papers a description of the
conditions as she found them after
the devastating war She says:
THE women have given up hus-
bands and sons for what they be-
lieved to be Gods cause. They de-
serve our help if for nothing else
than the long misrule and the unpar
alleled cruelty following the Berlin
treaty. No amount of generosity now
can undo that great wrong. But sure
ly it is some comfort in having a
part in saving the present gtneration
of destitute, half famished creatures.
Baby Faces Haunting.
Think of them, barely clad in gar
ments that suffered much in the long
tramp over mountains, through for
ests and streams with little or moth

with no shelter when night closed in;

soft eyes pleading without words in
their misery for food l shall re-

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Jan. 81
The police to-day ceased investiga-

BY local paper several days ago Of
fering to release Millionaire Francis

Cape Haitien is in the hands of an

IF KIDNEYS AND

Take Salts to Flush Kidneys and

Acids.

Kidney and Bladder weakness re-
suit from uric acid, says a noted au-
thority. The kidneys filter this acid
from the blood and pass it on to the
bladder where It often remains to
irritate and inflame, causing a burn
ing, scalding sensation, or setting up
an irritation at the neck Of the blad
der, obliging you to seek relief two or
three times during the night. The
sufferer is in constant dread, the
water passes sometimes with scald-
ing sensation and is very profuse;
again, there is difficulty in voiding II.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
it, because they can't control urina-
ton. While it Is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful. this is
really one of the most simple all
ments to overcome. Get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from your phar-
macist and take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast con-
tinue this for two or three days. This
will neutralize the acids in the urine
so it no longer is source of irrita-
ton to the bladder and urinary or
gans, which then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive. harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, ana is used by thousands Of
folks who are subject to urinary dis
orders caused by uric acid irritation.
Jad Salts is splendid for kidneys and
causes no bad effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, effer-
vescent llthia water drink, which
