In the great charity poured out to Bel
gians has not the suffering on the eastern
frontier been neglected?
Maria Antoinette> Szumowska, the Polish
pianist, now living in Boston and whose
home is in Warsaw, says there are more
sufferers in Poland than in Belgium r
cup to the present there has been very
great lack OF proportion between the atten-
ton given to Belgium and that awarded to
the similarly afflicted, but much larger,
| Poland, she says, s'The sufer!ngs of a
! smaller nation have overshadowed the even
greater calamities of a much larger land
and inhabited by more numerous people,
simply because they are separated from us
by wider space and do not possess the
means of attracting public attention, owing
to the lack of such political representatives
consuls and ambassadors

STATE ROAD FUNDS TO ENCOURAGE DEBT.

It is given out semi-officiay at least that the state
highway commission will distribute all the road fund OF
$24OOO6 raised annually by taxation OF all the people,
among the counties only which vote road bonds In other
words the property of Oregon are to be forced to
contribute to fund which will be used as premium to
induce counties to go into debt The deeper the counties
become involved and the reckessy they squander
money upon alleged road work. the heavier they will be al
lowed to draw upon this state road fund jackson, Hood
River Columbia and Catsop counties examples for the
current year. and they will get practically all Of the $4O
600 state fund.
If counties do not vote road bonds they get money
from the fund paid in by all the counties under half mill
state levy-and crazier Decree from business stand
point could never be issued any set Of state ofclas No
matter how much permanent, substantial work county
may do on its roads, paying for as is DONE the state
board blacsts that county, and demands an issue of
bonds before it is recognized Lane county has built many
miles of macadam road in the past few years, and paid
for it. Douglas Marion and several other counties have
done great deal Of road Improvement probably accom-
pshng more than has been done in the bonded counties
vet they are receive back of the money their tax
payers contribute to the state road fund because they
have issued no road Improvement bonds
The policy of the state board if adhered to- virtually
makes the state road fund premium to be distributed by
the bond buying concerns of the country.

"PAY- UP WEEK" AND IT'S RESULTS.

1t is now over year little township in Wis
consn originated bright idea which seems to have taken
root in a very large section Of the state
When the town in question announced its purpose of
observing payup week. in which all the debtors would
make settlement everybody smiled, But the thing
DONE and several thousand unsettled bills were cleared in
the process.
Now the place has had its most prosperous year. and
many other western towns and not few big cities
considering "pay-up week"
The philosophy Of the plan is simply this: That by
paying your bills the other fellow is enabled to pay his
and so on in sort of endless chain which finally
around to you again, with you out of debt and one
owing you
Thus all quits, the commercial skies are clear and
everybody feels better
In the first experiment $4,000 in old accounts
changed hands, and the liquidation this year promises to
be financial tidal wave.
The idea Of 'payup week. is excellent and should be
pushed along The wider it extends the sound and
stable will be the business of this country

OR BLADDER BOTHER
SALTS If KIDNEYS
Harmless to Flush Kidneys and Neu
trali2e Irritating Acids-Splendid
for System

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder,
where it often remains to irritate and
inflame, eausidg a 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
u scalding sensation and is very pro
fuse; again, thers 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 painful, this is really
one of the most simple ailments to over
come. Get about four ounces of Jad
salts from your pharmacist and take a
tablespoonful in glass Of water before
breakfast, continue this for two or
three days, This will neutralize the
acids in the urine so il no longer is q
source Of irritation to the bladder and
urinary organs which then act norm
ally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid Of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with hthia,
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 q pleasant, efferves.
cent hthia'water drink, which quickly
relieves bladder trouble.
