board of trustees, and may be seen
at any time.
We have $4,000 insurance on the
building, costing $50 per annum, at
the present rate. We think this the
proper amount of insurance to carry.
The same amount of insurance under
the higher rate would cost the tax
payers about $500 per annum; or about
$72O per annum more than we are now
paying. Now, if the taxpayers Of
the district are willing to pay for this
additional insurance, in order to have
a few entertainments in the audi
torium, of course, we have no objec-
ton. But we do not believe that they
are willing to increase the burden,
hence our position. NJ
You will notice from the above
copied letter that we are getting this
low rate of insurance with the under-
standing that the building be used
exclusively for school purposes" and
"that if the auditorium of this school
is used for theatre purposes or other
than those of school," we will be
compelled to pay the higher rate-"a
fdIe unueT d JfeaITe DaSlS. we nave
no say-so in fixing the "rate"; that is
fixed by the Inspection and Rating Bu-
reau, and we cannot help ourselves.
We do not believe that the thinking
people of Union, and especially the
taxpayers, would be willing to have
the cost of the insurance on the build
ing increased to such an extent, or
that they would indulge in some of the
harsh criticism we hear, if they knew
the facts and our position; hence this
statement.
The above to our minds is suf-
ficient reason for our position in this
matter; but there are other very good
and sufficient reasons to our minds
why the building, or auditorium,
should not be used for public enter
tainments, other than for school pur-
poses. The building was erected and
is being maintained by the taxpayers
solely for school purposes, and not for
general public use. We simply want
the people of Union to know the facts,
and our position.

To the Editor of The Union Times:
AS we hear so much adverse criti-
cism on the streets and elsewhere be-
cause the High school auditorium is
not used for public gatherings, ETC., in
justice to ourselves, we ask that Won
kindly publish the following letter,
which explains our position, in part. in
this matter:

Dear Sirs:
Union High School. No. 1O7 Block

| am today in receipt of your favor
of the 26th inst. with further refer
ence to the above and in reply beg to
say that if the auditorium of this
school is used for theatre purposes or
other than those of a school, we will
necessarily have to re rate same ac-
cordingly and from the information
now on hand the risk will be subject
to rate under theatre basis and the
rate will be approximately 400.
The present rate on this risk is 40
cents and this rate is with the under
standing that the building be used
exclusively for school purposes.
Trusting the above information will
be of service, I beg to remain,
Yours very truly,

Margaret Ellington, although for a mum.
Der Of years she has been before them
in q stellar capacity and much has
been printed about her. AS a matter
Of fact, the real Margaret Ellington Is
a woman with the brains Of an artist
and the heart of a child, a woman Of q
thousand moods, outspoken yetdemure
and retiring, strong in. her likes and
dislikes, versatile, a lover Of nature
and outdoor sports. Curiosity and
strength are her prevailing traits, the
curiosity of an alert minded woman to
know all about everything, and a mans
strength of purpose to turn curiosity
into knowledge. Much of this Is gained
FROM books, as she possesses q wonder
full library and Is d great student. In
everything that she has done upon the
stage she has s%triven, first of all, to be
natural, right acting.
Miss Ellington believes in natural act
ing, and so it is that her hardest critic
has never been able to say that she
forced an effect. She always endeave
to portray the character entrusted ri
her and not merely to read NC
Another great help to the aot"2ss

sympathy, a finer unity of thought and
feeling between player and audience
than even the generous enthusiasm Of
handclapping or cheers.
Miss Ellington never thinks Of audi
ences as attending a play, but rather
assisting at its performance. It is ac-
ton and reaction. The player may be
all aglow and must be with a fervid en-
thusiasm, with the divine spark called
magnetism. But this can only be kin

player will tell of an indefinite ONE

ing between player and playgoer. A
sensitive actor feelsathis mysterious at

there is a token of applause.

SALTS # KIDNEYS
OR BLADDER BOTHER
Harmless to Flush Kidneys and Neu-
traIize Irritating Acids-spendid
For System.

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 ito
initiate and infame, 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 wa
ter passes sometimes with a scalding
sensation and is very profuse; again,
there is difficulty in avoiding it.
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 ailments
to overcome. Get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from your pharmacist
and take a tablespoonful in a glass. Of
water before breakfast, continue this
for two or three days. This will neu-
tralize tle acids in the urine so it no
longer is a 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 caus-
ed by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts
is splendid for kidneys and causes
no bad effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, efferves-
cent lithia water drink, which quick
ly relieves bladder. trouble.-Adv.
