FLoRiDA'S PROGRESS TOWARDS
STATEWIDE VITAL STATISTICS

The state board of health for Flori-
ida has just sent to the newspapers of
the state circular letter. from which
the following is an extract:
THE proposed model vital stats
tics law is now before the house of
representatives, having already pass
ed the senate, and it is hoped and be.
lieved it will soon be taken up and en-.
acted without changes which might
impair the effectiveness of the meas.
ure.
When the statewide measure be
comes law, the present policy is to
favor the registration of births and
deaths within Incorporated cities and
towns through their ordinances and
municipal registrars wherever and
whenever local legislation is ade.
quate and effectively enforced. For
it is self-evident that favorable local
sentiment actively expressed is the
best possible guarantee for the en-
a'ANShCHL Vi dllN law.
Therefore, every municipality
which has not yet passed the model
ordinance. should do so at the earliest
possible date; and when and where
adequate ordinances are in effect
they should be enforced without fear
or favor that this Office may accept
such collections without question.
1T is also hoped and expected that
registrars in municipalities may al
so act as registrars for the surround.
ing rural districts, of which such mu.
inequalities are the easily reached
centers. This will help to simplify
the system, lessen the number of reg
'strars and centralize collections fol-
large proportion of Florida's popula
ton In the most easily reached local
tiles and with officials already famil
lar with the practice"

sufficient forage to feed their stocks,
but their surplus crop will be cotton.
The recent rise in the cotton mar
ket, when much of the cotton in this
territory reached the market, the
high price of cotton seed at this sea-
son and the unprecedented demand
for hnters. has caused this condition.
Farmers also expect better price for
cotton, especially if the war comes to
an end, and it will find them without
the coveted staple, as the crop was
very short this year.
Farmers have been warned against
the raising of a large crop of cotton
and it is pointed out the prices prob
ably will be low in this event and they
are being urged to proceed carefully,
when cotton planting time comes. The
idea is prevalent among the farmers,
however, that cotton prices will soar.
when the war is settled, and that any
surplus crop on hand will find a ready
market at big figures.

1t is expected that every agricultural

rivalry was keen. Mississippians did
not know until then that they could
grow and make so very many things
good to eat in their gardens and on
their farms, or catch and kill so many
varieties of wild meat in their woods.
The only objection ever heard in con-
nection with these Grown in Missis-

GLASS Of SALTS IF
YOUR KIDNEYS HURT
Eat less meat if you feel Backachy or
have Bladder trouble-Salts
fine for Kidneys

Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their efforts
to filter it from the system. Regular eat
ers of meat must flush the kidneys occa-
sionally. You must relieve them like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
acids, waste and poison, else you feel a
dull misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in the back or sick headache, dig
illness, your stomach sours, tongue is
coated and when the weather is bad you
have rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment; the channels
often get irritated, obliging you to get
up two or three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take a table
spoonful in glass Of water before break
fast for few days and your kidneys will
then act fine and bladder disorders dis
appear. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with hthia, and has been used for
generations to clean and stimulate slug
gish kidneys and stop bladder irritation.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; harmless and
makes a delightful efTervescent lithia-
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then, thus avoiding
serious kidney and bladder diseases
