BIG EATERS GET
KIDNEY TROUBLE
TAKE SALTS AT FIRST SIGN OF
BLADDER IRRITATION OR
BACKACHE.

The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trou-
BILE, because we eat too much and all
our food is rich. Our blood is filed
with uric acid which the kidneys strive
to filter out, they weaken from over
work, become sluggish the elimina-
tive tissues clog and the result is
kidney trouble, bladder weakness and
a general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like Jumps
of lead; your back hurts or the urine
is cloudy, full of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night; if you suffer
with sick headache or dizzy, nervous
spells, acid stomach, Or you have rheu-
matism when the weather is bad, get
from your pharmacist about four
ounces of Jad Salts; take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for few days and your kid
neys 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 generations to
flush and stimulate clogged kidneys;
to neutralize the acids in the urine
so it no longer is a source of irrita-
ton, thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure, makes a delightful effervescent
Whitewater beverage and belongs in
every home, because nobody can make
mistake by having good kidney
flushing any time.

THE SCHOOLS.

Those who oppose adding our mem
bers to the Cordele City School board
and electing them by the people pub
licly expressed themselves in Atlanta
yesterday as willing to quit fighting If
they found that the people of Cordele
wanted such a change. The number
who have asked that the change be
given now reaches more than 425.
There are citizens of Cordele yet who
have not been approached that are
anxious to have voice in saying that
they desire the people to elect the
school board. We were never surer
of ANYTHING in our existence than that
the people desire their city school
board to be chosen by the people.
But there is now a move under way
to upturn the expression on the matter
of electing by the people. Those who
would still hold the school hoard I'M
der political control, say the people
do not want to elect. And there is no
sound reasoning in the argument that
the larger board will be unwieldly.
People who strongly favor popular
rule seldom say that.
A larger more representative school
board in Cordele will serve a most
important two-fold purpose. 1t will
more nearly represent all interest in
the community. 1t ought to do that
and it will make the board member,
as a public official directly answera-
Bile to the people for his acts.
Those who favor this law would be
doubly glad to submit it to the peo-
pie on this straight issue, but those
who are fighting the measure are try
ing to make it an issue as to approx
al or disapproval of the present school
board. That is altogether a different
proposition. The people want the
board elected by the. people. They
would not mind making it twelve mem
bers. even, if that assured all inter
ests real representation on the board
They consider that all interest ought
to be represented. aid they are right

Some one writing in Sundays Macon
Telegraph has a sensible illustration
of the troubles that arise out of the
county unit plan. This plan is fol
lowed in the election of our presi-
dents. The writer explains as fol
lows:
"The earliest records 81 zen of the
popular vote for President are in 1924.
Jackson had plurality over Adams
of fifty thousand, yet Adams became
President. Lincoln was minority
candidate by nearly one million votes
but was overwhelmingly elected by
the ELECTORAL plan. Tilden defeated
Hayes by 100000 votes but Hayes got
the office. Change of 500 votes in New
York would have made Blaine Presi
dent in 1884, yet Cleveland had large
plurality over the nation. His plurality
over Harrison in 1888 was nearly f00-
900 but Harrison was President. by
the unit plan 1000 votes in New York
state defeated the will of the people.
President Wilson had over 100000
plurality over Hughes last fall, yet for
days we were in suspense as to who
would be President because the mat
ter rested with California's small ma
jority A change of less than 1000
votes would have given Hughes Cali
fornia's vote and made him President,
though Wilson ran far ahead in pop
ular vote. | sincerely believe that the
state plan of electing our Presidents
is the chief source of the corruption
practiced today. 1t also encourages
those states like the south not to vote
their full strength because they know
how the state will go. Hence all in
terest centers in the close states. AL
so to the close states most of the i'm
portant Offices go in order to influence
the election in the future.
but facts nearer home are of more
interest and have greater influence.
Governor Dorsey, according to the fig
ures given by the Constitution, had
clear majority over his opponents of
nearly 1000 votes and had plurality
over Governor Harris, the leading OPP
ponent, of over $4,000 votes. OF course
his victory in the primary by the unit
plan was decisive. But see what might
have happened. His plurality in thir-
ty-one counties was from seven votes
to 800 The total plurality in those
thirty-one counties was 2194 for Dor
sey A change of only LOO votes
would have defeated the peoples real
choice. 1t is a well-known fact that
in many counties the opposition did
combine against him and carried the
county, hoping thereby to place the
election in the convention"

LET MAJORITY RULE.

The people ought not to have to
submit to situation that is going to
be created in the passage of the Neill

cd is not a majority vote method and
therefore is not fair one. Anything

HOKE'S KIND.

The Honorable Hoke Smith is max
ing il known that ne is not of the
stripe of his little coleague,-or at
least he is trying that. When the peo-
pie know the real truth, they will be
able to say, however, that he is of
the same stripe-only larger. Tom
Hardwick is Hoke Smiths political
child,-an illigitimate, wherewithal,
and owes his very job today to Hohe.
When the latter makes denial as to
this and that about Hardwick it is
only because he has seen what trou-
BILE lIardwick has raised for himself
back in Georgia and because Hoke
himself fears the consequences.
Hoke Smith may deny his fighting
the present administration all he may
desire, but the people of Georgia know
something of it, From the very start
of the war in Europe Hoke Smiths
own friends were caused to express
wonder at his hatred for England and
his apparent friendliness for Germa-
ny. His very acts make this clear.
His daily conduct has put him among
the men who have fought President
Wilson everywhere on every prCpo-
sition
He is denying now, for he has seen
Senator Hardwick burt ont unpatri-
otic anti-administration utterances
that simply drowned him with pro
tests of an in incersed home people.

The school does not endure hard
winters. A peculiarly of this region
is that the temperature here through
out the winter is higher than that
of the lower flats, and chinooks are
so common as to quickly dissipate
any unusual severity. In this locali-
ty stock can easily be wintered, for
tall green grass is found in the noun
tain recesses.
Rich Mines Nearby.
st. Pauls is not far from some of
the richest gold mines in the state.
Two of these are the Ruby Gulch and
August mine. 1t was in 1884 that
the Little Rockies first attracted at
tentlon as a region yielding placer
gold, and all the gulches yielded
enough to make hundreds of gold
hunters very enthusiastic. From the
school it is ten miles over the noun
tains to Zortman, the principal min
ing town of that section; eight miles
to Lodge Pole, where postoffice and
trading post have been established.
The mountains near the mission
are covered with evergreens, poplar
and jack-pine, except for an occasion
al scar where a snowslide has, in
times past, swept the trees out of it's
path. These scars show gray, like
chutes between the green of the
trees. The buildings of the mission
stand in a beautiful valley, through
which meanders Peoples creek. This
creek supplies water for a comrlo+o
| irrigation system which has been in
stalled by the management of the
mission. The grounds comprise A.
600 acres, the soil of which is the
choicest in the valley Quite an area
is under cultivation, and the work
from seeding to threshing is all done
by boys attending the school. This
work constitutes their practical les
sons in agriculture.
Supplies for the mission were
brought by OK team from Chinook
and Harlem during the infancy of the
school, later horses were used, but
more recently motor cars have been
employed.
For one to- fully appreciate the
beauty of the scenery one of the
peaks should be assembled. From this
lofty observatory to the south and
west may be seen the Judith, Snowy
Highwood, and Little Belt noun
tains; to the south the Missouri rolls
on. Looking to the north, great prai-
ries, like green carpets, stretch into
Canada, and to the northwest the
Bear Paw mountains rear their
heads.

CHURCH 01v MONTANA MOUNTAIN FA$TMESS
HAS MURAL PAINTINGS BY ITALIAN MASTER
BY Matte T.. Cramcr.

Situated in the heart of the Little
Rockies, fifty miles from a railway
station, and shut off from the COM
mercialism of the world, may be
found one of the oldest institutions
of learning in the Treasure state
With only an occasional brief news
paper mention the state at large
knows little about the great work
that has been accomplished by st.
Paul's Mission church and school in
the past thirty years, for it was in
1886 that Rev. Father Erbishweiler,
devout missionary under the direc-
ton of the Jesuit fathers, arrived
upon the scene and established the
church and shortly thereafter the
school was opened.
Think of finding a church in this
obscure place whose walls and cell
ings are decorated with paintings of
master hand, for it is said that ten
thousand dollars in shining gold was
necessary to lure the romantic Italian
artist across the seas and into this re-
mote niche of the western hemis-
phere to place his best work in St.
Paul's church. The paintings all rep
resent bible scenes.
The Little Rockies, as they are
commonly called, consist of a group
of pine-clad peaks fifty miles south
west of Malta, which shoot up from
a comparatively level country. The
scenery in the region of these noun
tains is possessed of such rare beau
ty no painter might hope to trans
fer to a canvas, and it was the gran
deur OF the mountains that attracted
the missionary and caused him to
choose this site for the church and
school. Here these devoted priests
and faithful Ursuline Sisters have
labored. Their work has been min
istering to the sick and needy,
Christianizing the community, teach
ing the Indian and half-breed boys
and girls the rudimentary branches
found in the curriculum of the pub
lie schools of the state; giving them
a practical knowledge of agronomy
and horticulture-called by the res
ervationists farming and gardening
and also religious training.
Made From Native Stone.
The group of buildings at St.
Paups mission comprise the church,
a large building used as home for
the sisters and the girl students, and
building serving as a parsonage for
the priests and dormitory for the
boys. These buildings are all made
from dressed stone, laboriously quar-
ried from the mountains nearby.
They are most substantially built and
each carries history of toll, self
denial and hardship. The work of
designing and large part of the con-
struction work was done by boys of
the high school. The sisters build
ing contains recitation rooms, living
rooms, sleeping apartments, dining

room and kitchen. Each of these
rooms is furnished and equipped
with everything to make it comfort
able and homelike as we'll as useful
to both teacher and pupil. The num-
Der of boys and girls attending the
mission school varies, but the attend
ance has reached two hundred in the
history of the school, but with that
enrolment it was rather crowded and
yet many applications had to be re-
fused.
Bad Lands Fascinating.
What are known as the dad
lands" begin seven or eight miles
south of the mountains and extend to
the Missouri. These bad lands" are
filled with fascinating material for
exploration. Here are found buffalo
bones apparently undisturbed since
the flesh mouldered from the skele-
ton, and thousands of stone circles
show where the red men pitched
their lodges. The skulls of buffalo,
wolves, deer, and occasionally the
skull of cayuse with an evil-look-
ing hole in his forehead, may be
found here and there near these cir
Giles. Old timers say the cayuses
were sacrificed when hunters were
caught in a storm without meat to
eat.
The "bad lands" are infested with
gray wolves, coyotes, jack-rabbits,
prairie chickens and sage hens. The
water fowl in this locality is strongly
alkaline, and during the latter part
