Woman Suffrage aud Prohibition.
To the Editor OF The Bee: So many
people are being misled on the liquor
question by suffragists that we submit
few facts on the subject.
In recent issue OF your paper Mrs.
j. F. shipman OF Emerson, Ia, states
that what is true OF one state may be
true OF another. Granted. Here are some
facts;
Six years prior to the adoption OF wo-
man suffrage In California, Los Angeles
voted on local option. and the measure
was defeated two to one, About month
after women were given the ballot in
Los Angeles the question was again voted
on. and the saloons won three TO one,
this where registered women's votes were
in the majority
At an election In California April Is,
1914. thirteen cities and towns voted on
the liquor question. OF this number nine
voted wet four small towns voted dry.
In Colorado, where women have voted
for twenty-one years. there are only ten
counties out OF sixty-two that are dry.
In Colorado Springs the sale OF liquor was
prohibited for many years. Women voted
ON the question two years ago and liquor
selling was legalized. According to the
census OF 1914 Colorado Springs has Sl9
more women than men over twenty-one
years of age.
Al a local option election IN Illinois
April Z, 1914, about LOO saloons out Of
1900 were abolished. Twelve dry counties
were added 20 the thirty already dry
making forty-two dry counties out OF the
100 in Illinois, Kentucky, where men
alone vote, has nlnety-nine dry counties
out OF 100. and Missouri has sixty-five no
license counties out of ia in that state
Iowa has seventy-seven dry counties out
Of ninety-nine counties in that state At
an election in Minnesota April I. 1914. two
thirds OF the counties where local option
elections were held voted dry and towns
that had licensed saloons for sixty years
voted dry by mems votes Eight out Of
twelve counties in Michigan voting on
the liquor question April 6. 1914. voted
dry, including Lansing. the capital OF the
state. and this by mems votes. while
Springfield the capital OF Illinois, where
there are 2O6 more women than men over

Enforcing Pure Food Laws
Food Commissioner Jadd Relates
How He Does It in North Dakota.

In general there two metnoos for enforcing
laws. especially our food, drug and sanitary laws
The one IL % assume that every man Is wholly fam-
lar with the requirements OF the law. and. wherever
there IL failure to comply with the Jaw itself. to
prosecute the individual as en- offender This course
means large amount Of court work, great deal OF
expended in the collecting Of information and
data preparatory making the prosecutions in court
and often large share Of ones energies and thought
are taken up.
The other method is more properly called that of
publicity and education. Laws be successfully
enforced in any community only az far as the people
will support them. When the public educated
they will demand what is right and a compliance
with the law Through this process OF education and
publicity the manufacturer and retailer become
familiar with the requirements and take steps to
comply with reasonable provision OF the statute
regulations made hereunder.

Every man who is sineerelr

have employment procured for
him or be supplied with good food

IF KIDNEYS AND
BLADDER BOTHER
Take Salts to flush Kidneys
and neutralize irritating
acids.

Kidney and Bladder weakness re-
suit from uric acid, says noted au-
thority. The kidneys filter this acid
from the blood and pass it on to the
bladder. where it often remains to ir-
ritate and infIame, causing burning,
scalding sensation, or setting UP an
irritation at the neck of the bladder,
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 avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
1t, because they can't control urina-
ton. While it is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this is
really one of the most simple ailments
to overcome. Get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from your pharmacist
and take tablespoonful in glass of
water before breakfast, continue this
for two or three days. This will neu-
tralize the acids in the urine SO II no
longer is source Of irritation to the
bladder and urinary organs which
then act normally again
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless.
and Is made from the acid Of grapes
and lemon JUICE. combined with lithia.
and Is used by thousands of folks
who are subject to urinary disorders
caused by uric acid irritation. Jad
Salts is splendid for kidneys and
causes no bad effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, effer-
yescent lithia-water drink, which
quickly relieves bladder trouble.--Ad-
vertfsement.
