A "FlYinQ" MaladY,

The doctors are puzzled concerning
strange malady that has broken out
at more than one aeroplane works and
has in one case resulted fatally. The
malady in some respects resembles
yellow jaundice, and it is, rightly or
wrongly, attributed to contact with an
aeroplane dope" or to inhaling it's
odor.
Further particulars need not at the
moment be indicated, but it has been
suggested that the source of the
trouble may be amyl acetate, which is
used as a dope" solvent. Some mys-
terry attaches to the affair, the precise
nature of the malady not having yet
been determined, in spite of close ex-
animation and analysis; and, of course,
until success is attained in this direc-
ton no satisfactory precautions or
remedy can be devised.

TIE DISCUSSION.
DISPATCHES FROM RALEIGH


Raleigh.
The Hobgood equal suffrage bill.
under favorable minority report from
committee, had something of an air
ing on the floor of the senate, giving
senator Hobgood opportunity to warn
his fellow senators that equal suf-
frage is a coming issue and that 1t
must win in this state ultimately. He
said his ''house was divided against
ITSELF" but that this only went to
show that in his advocacy of the bill
he Is tied to no apronstring.
When the bill came up Senator
Johnson of Duplin moved to Indefinite
1y postpone as the house had done
the duplicate bill by Roberts of Bun
combe in that end of the capitol Hob
good strenuously resisted this and
resented alleged efforts to cut off de-
bate. Johnson insisted this was not
the case, and with reiterated charges
by advocates of the bill, he withdrew
his motion and made another to table
the bill and give a direct expression
on the measure. However, this was
finally in turn withdrawn, and the
bill set as a special order for Thurs
day.

TAKE A GLASS OF SALTS
WHEN BLADDER BOTHERS
Harmless to Flush Kidneys and Neu-
traIize Irritating Acids-SpIendid
for the System.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says a noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
where it often remains to irritate and
infame, causing a burning, scalding
sensation, or setting up an irritation
at the neck of the bladder, obligine
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night. The sufferer is in
constant dread, the water passes
sometimes with 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 ia 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 the 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 caused
by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is
splendid for kidneys and causes no
bad effects whatever.
Here you have pleasant, efferves-
cent lithia-water drink, which quickly
relieves bladder trouble-Adv.
