ris was a figurehead, and Hon. Clint
Atkins got our vote for the senate.
Some years afterwards, in the SER
vice of the government at Washing
ton, we had a chance to see from
the senate gallery, who's who and
why. We found in the first place
that Senator Harris was the parlia-
mentarian Of the senate, Next,
while his name did not appear as
author Of many bills, his leadership
on the floor Of the senate was nee
cessary for their passage, and he
did champion practically all the
democratic legislation at this time
and practically pave the way for
its passage"

]. F. Homer Elected
Mayor Of Centerville.

Last Friday was not an unlucky
day for the good town Of Centerville,
the county site Of Hickman even if
that day of the week did happen to
be the 18th day Of the month, for
on that day and date the qualified
voters Of the town, by a majority of
about two to one, reelected our long
time friend j. Frank Horner, to the
position of mayor Of the town. We
have known Mayor Horner since he
was a wee tot and we want to say
to the people Of Centerville that we
can easily see where they are right
in their desire to have Frank for
their mayor notwithstanding he is
not able to give them all his time,
being on the road for the wholesale
notion house Of Riddle, at Nashville.

Press Club of West
Tenn. Elects Officers.

Jackson, Tenn Oct. 19.-F. R
Ogilvie, editor of the Brownsville
States Graphic was elected president
of the West Tennessee Press ASso-
citation today at the annual meeting
in this city.
Other officers elected we're: G. w.
Boucher. Dyer, reporter, and Quin-
tard Glass, Newbern, secretary. 1t
is probable that a special meeting of
the association will be held here in
January. The visiting editors and
school men attending conference
of the Literary and Athletic Asso-
citation here were guests of the Mer-
chants, and Manufacturers Associa-
ton at supper tonight.
The PROGRESS hoped to have a
representative at this meeting but
it fell on an unlucky day ror the
whole force the 13th-a time
when not one connected with the
office, from the editor to the devil,
had ghost of chance to take
their noses away from the grind
stone, 1t is mighty good to see the
brethren get together in their State
and division meetings and we hope
to have better luck in an effort 70
be with them in the next West Ten

Potatoes to be Used
in Making Bread.

Washington, Oct 13.-More gen.
eral use of potatoes in making bread
is recommended by the baking
specialists of the Department Of
Agriculture. Bread containing boil
ed and mashed potatoes was found,
during experiments just concluded,
to be just as nutritious as ordinary
bread and to remain fresh longer.
The department believes that in
localities where there is surplus of
potatoes, or where they are cheap.
much economy can be practiced be-
cause of the high price of wheat
-four, and that even in localities
where the relative market prices
of pototoes and -four are such that
there is no economy in substitu-
ting potato for flour bread, the in
dividual flavor and keeping quality
of potato bread should make it de-
sirable as a variant in the family
diet.
In their experiments the govern
ment experts baked excellent bread
with three pounds Of potatoes and
two and a half pounds Of flour.
Three recipes have been formulated.

There is Republican candidate
for Floater over at Dresden, who had
a card in the Carroll County Demo-
crat, who is talking out in advance
and who seems to have a Demo-
cratic opponent who does not boast
OF very savory record while serv-
ing in the last General Assembly if
the House Journal has properly re-
corded his votes. This man who
calls himself Republican says that
he stands for no interference with
the Custer Law, that he opposes le-
CALLING horse racing gambling, that
he opposes any backward step as to
temperance legislation and that he
will work and vote for such tempe
rance legislation as will stand the
test Of the Supreme court, that he
is for the betterment Of the schools
Of the State and that he will oppose
appropriating the public school
funds for the support Of the Poly
technic Institute at Cookeville. This
mans name is Charles A. Ogan and
the things that he stands for in his
race for the Lower House are such
as to commend him to the conside-
ration Of the best people regardless
of politics and there is now no poll
tics in the Legislature since the cleo
ton Of United State Senators has
been put into the hands of the
people. These questions of sobriety,
honesty and decency strike us as
vastly more important than the
enactment Of the anti-pass law and
the agitation Of other questions of
little moment to the people. The
Democratic candidate ought to be
made to show up right on the ques-
tons named or be allowed to re-
main at home to wonder what hit
him in the November election.

to that during this administration there
has been paid $4,000 worth of bonds ma

meat CAUSE OF
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take Salts to flush Kid
neys if Back hurts or
Bladder bOthers.

If you must have your meat every
day, eat it. but flush your kidneys with
salts occasionally, says a noted author
ity who tells us that meat forms uric
acid which almost paralyzes the kid
neys in their efforts to expel it from
the blood. They become sluggish and
weaken, then you suffer with a dull
misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in the back or sick headache.
dizziness. your stomach sours, tongue
is coated and when the weather is bar
you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy. full of sediment. the
channels often get sore and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids.
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off the
body's urinous waste get four ounces
of Jad Salts from any pharmacy here.
take tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for genera
tons to flush and stimulate sluggish
kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in
urine, so it no longer irritates, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive: cannot in
lure, and makes delightful efferyes-
cent lithia water drink.-Adv.
