 incidentally the editor of the Chicago Tribune may learn from these big, fine fellows that the peo- pie of the South are no different from those of the Middle West.
 One of the good results of sending the militiamen to the border has beer to bring about a better understanding between men of the East, North an1 West and the South. The Eastern CTS, Northerners and Westerners have learned what a great country is the South, and have ascertained that the Southen people are as cultured, gem teel and as progressive as those Of other sedions despite the rartings of such writers as occasionally get their stuff into rabid, narrow publications, The Southern people who came in contact with the troopers found the- are fine, courageous men whom it has been a pleasure to know.

THE INCOME TAX IN BRITAIN.

The British income tax is abou. five times heavier than the one that irritates capitalists in our own noney-centers. And LloydGeorge, one of the staunchest advocates of the tax on wealth now sits at the head of the government machinery.
 This, of course, bodes ill for the comparatively few landlords who own most of the British 1sles a system that we in America can scarcely understand. For instance, nine fam lies and estates own great part of the land underlying London; and other landed families own the land underlying other large cities. In the agricultural sections of the islands, less than 2,50O families own 40,OO0,- 900 acres. Some of he estates ex- ceed a million acres in extent.
 The income from such vast tracts Of land and land underlying cities IS vast; and to the families who have inherited this land from very earlv times the government income tax which is due to get heavier instead ct lighter-is the most hated thing ol earth. It is indeed doubtful whet,e,. sonle of these families hate the Cor mans any worse than they hate the income tax. i'll

IF KIDNEYS AND

Take Salts 10 Flush Kidneys aa,:
 NcutraIize Irritating Acids.

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 to
 irritate and inflame, causing a burn
 ing. scalding sensation, or setting up
 an irritation at the neck of the blad-
 der. obliging you to seek relief tive
 CT three times during the night. The
 Sufferer is in constant dread, the
 water passes sometimes with scald- ing sensation and is very profuse:
 again. there is difficulty in avoiding it. Bladder weakness, most folks call it. because they cant control urina- tion. While it is extremely annoying and sometimes very painful, this is really one of the most simple ail- ments to overcome. Get about four ounces of lad Salts from your
 pharmacist and take tablespoonful in glass of water before breakfast, continue this for two or three days. This will neutraiize the acids in the urine so it no longer is source of irritation 10 the bladder and urinary organs. which then act normally again.
 lad 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. lad Salts is splendid for kidneys and causes no bad effects whatever. Here you have a pleasant, efferves- 1 cent lithia water drink. which quickly 1 relieves bladder trouble.-Advertise 1 ment.

CRITICISlNG THE GOVERNMENT

Probably everybody remembers the story of the Irishman who said he didn't understand what the argument was about but he was just naturally agin' the government"
 Laying aside politics. and consider ing the matter purely from the stand point of human nature, isn't there lurking tendency in the minds of too many people to find fault with every. thing done by officials of govern ment? Remember, this doesn't say administration" but says govern ment.'
 Congressmen of all political beliefs alike are subject to q never~ceasinS battery of criticism. Nothing they do is xadtly right, Never is every body pleased, and those who are az grieved develop into ideal faultfind- CTS.
 The work of congress is continual ly and everlastingly lambasted. Not only this present congress, but every congress the country has ever had has come in for vitriolic criticism. A stranger to the nation would natura! ly conclude that all tue numbskulls, vapid heads and boneheads in the na- ton were selected for duty in con. gross.
 We sometimes wonder how the country would be run if the unrea- sonable critics were paced in power, not the political, critics, mind yo |. but those who unjustly eXdpriate their government on general princi~ ples.
 The critics and fauit-finedrs mu st realize that a government such as ve enjoy is a reflection of the will .t the people. . If everything is as bal as pictured, it merely means that the reople haven't sense enough to care about t and remedy ne situation.
 Or 1t also may mean that as a rule the common -senseful folks of all political complications know how 70 discount wild-eyed criticism and hav> some pretty good ideas of their own
 The only effective time for reason able and just criticism is during q political campaign; t $ the only timG when some good dan come of it. Or tne other hand, unreasonable, unjust and foolish criticises defeats itself a all times. The only thing it does is tc raise an unnecessary clamor that is as irritating as cats on a back fenc, at night.

AN ovERWoRKED PUBLIC.

A sentiment which probably exists
in the mind of nearly every newspaper
editor in the country and a feeling
which prevails to a large extent in the
public heart has been put into print
by the Sacramento Bee in the follow
ing editorial utterance:
The Bees mail is crowded with ap-
peals of every cha racter to help out
the suffering here, or the wounded
there; to guard the boys here, or to
protect them over there; to furnish
something in Poland, and something
in Belgium; and something over in Ar
menia and God knows where else.
The thing is being overdone. There
is too much of a muchness about it.
The Bee believes many of these chart
ties are not necessary at the present
time. 1t has sneaking opinion that
one or two of them are not entirely
o. K
But that the great American public
is being overworked is true; and that
it can afford to pay attention to but
a small percentage of all these in
Vulnerable demands is also true.
Any man not a multi-millionaire
will have to devote his attention in
the giving out of money to one or
two primary things, and to one or
two absolutely dependable interna-
ational organizations.

Walt Mason voices the feelings of
millions of Americans when he de-
clares that he is growing tired of be-
ing told what he ought and ought not
to do. Few citizens are unwilling to
do whatever is necessary to aid the
government in the prosecution of the
war. but most of them reserve the
right to do their bit in their own way.
They are ready to answer any cali
coming from the government but re-
fuse to heed the utterances of every
Tom, Dick and Harry who has desire
to pose as a patriotic leader.

SIDE TALK S
Four Dollars a Week.
BY RUTH CAMERON.


Someone told me of a most inter
esting experiment the other day.
We were talking about the extra
ordinarily large wages demanded
and received-by girls who do house.
work.
One woman told of a friend who
pays eight dollars for a maid for ber-
self and husband. They have a small
new house and they are away to meals
about a quarter of the time.
Another told of a family of two
where the maid received six dollars
week though the family were away
months at a time. The washing was
put out and the woman even offered
to have the cleaning done.
1 myself told of hearing a woman
in an intelligence office informed that
the only accommodater Cmisleading
name) she could get, charged three
dollars day.
When one realizes that no voca-
tiOnal training is required and that the
wages are not affested by the high cost
of living, since living is included, one
gets an idea of how much these wages
mean.
And yet girls prefer to go into shops
and factories and telephone exchanges
where they sometimes get barely a liv-
ing wage! Why is it?
''There's a Reason"
No ono can surely know, but the
experiment of which l started to tell
you is an index finger pointing to one
reason.
Il know a woman who pays" be-
gan the one who chronicled the eXper-
iment We all listened with bated
breath expecting to hear some new
shocker such as ten or twelve, four
dollars a week." she finished.
We looked the way we felt.

eight hours?"
The girl comes at seven, and gets
! breakfast. She does the work of the
house and gets the dinner which they
have at noon. She clears it away and
prepares something in the line of a
salad for supper. At three o'clock she
goes. The family put the supper on
! the table themselves, clear it away and
put the dishes to soak. She is sup
/ posed to work steadily during her
! eight hours just as a girl in an office
| or factory. and like that girl, when she
IS through she is through. Her time
| is her own"
The comments were interesting.
-Four dollars a week. murmured
! one woman avidly.
You'd never have her there even
ings,' said another.
Girls are certainly getting more
independent every year." said the
Authorman's wife.

THE SOLDIERS
Issued by the War Department and all

A@A2A1b.
But the fact of the case is that
American soldiers accept the reason
able discipline of the army readily be-
cause they have the good sense to
realize that these things are necessary.
They accept them without losing in
the least their real independence as
free citizens.
Furthermore, American armies are
democratic because the path of pro-
motion is wide open. Any man who
has a reasonable amount of ability can
practice, can study, can cultivate the
qualities of a soldier and a leader and
can work his way up. And this is the
real test of a democratic army.
In a special sense the national army
is democratic. A great democracy
must always carry on it's affairs thru
chosen representatives. You are
doubtless familiar with this principle
as it is applied in time of peace. Now
it is applied in time of war. Thru a
process of fair selection the national
army has been picked to represent all
parts of the country and all groups
of the people. Never has America
sent forth an army so truly repreSen-
tative of the nation.
There are always pessimists in ev-
cry generation who insist that patriot
ism is dead or at least decayihg. They
have not been lacking in recent years.
Then comes a crisis such as now con-
fronts us. And always the question
of patriotism is answered by free
outpouring of effort, money and blood
on the part of citizens of all types in
every section of the country. This is
exactly what is now going on-and
what will continue to go on with in
creasing force until the war is brought
to victorious end.
