IF KIDNEYS AND
 BLADDER BOTHER
Take Salts to flush Kidneys and neutralize irritat-
 ing acids

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 1nfiame, causing burning. scalding sensation, or setting up an irritation at the neck of the bladder. obliging you in seek relief two or three times dur ing the night. The sufferer is in con stant dread, the water passes some times 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 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 lad Salts from your pharmacist and take a tablespoonful in glass of water be- fore breakfast. continue this for two or three days This will neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation to the bladder and urinas- organs which then act nor mally 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. lad Salts Is splendid for kidneys and causes no bad effects whatever.
 Here you have pleasant. efferves- cent Whitewater drink, which quickly relieves bladder trouble.-Adv.

WHEAT SUBSTITUTES IN FLOUR NO LONGER
 NECESSARY Y-EARLE
Food Administrator Urges
 Public to Prevent Waste Wherever Possible in the Future

Bakers are now permitted to use wheat flour without substitutes, an or
 der to that effect being issued yester-
 day by County Food Administrator Paul
 H. Earle. In making public the new regulations relative to the use of wheat flour Mir. Earle stated that bakers were instructed to discontinue the use of flour substitutes and that weekly re- ports were no longer required of them. We take this opportunity to ex- press our very hearty appreciation of
 the cordial and hearty cooperation li- censed bakers have given to the food administration in carrying out the rules and regulations which, in many in- stances. have been a real hardship, said MT. Earle.
 While these restrictions have been released we feel sure that the bakers
 and the people generally are sufficient jly familiar with the worlds shortage | of foodstuffs to continue to exercise every effort to prevent waste and to do their part in helping to.alleviate hunger until normal conditions exist"

the main hope of Tech supporters when it comes to ground gaining. Pittsburg
 is pinning her faith in McLaren, the
 giant fullback, who is touted as the
 greatest plunger since the days of Ted
 Coy.
 According to Morgan Blake, Techs
 backfield is as strong this year as last
 but the line seems to have suffered from
 the loss of Carpenter and Phillipps. Pitts
 hurg's line is in better shape than ever
 and of the eight old men who have re- turned this year at least five are play
 ing their fourth season on the team so
 it looks very much like Pittsburg, but
 you never can tell, especially when Heis-
 man is the coach you are figuring against. Heisman was in Pittsburg last Satur- day and saw the Partners smother the Pennsylvania outfit, but the job was so easy that Warner didn't uncover any Of his deep stuff. There is a possibility Of
 Ham Bowling and John Rogers returning to Tech in time to get into the game and of course their re-entry into the Tor nado machine will strengthen it's power considerably. Because of the fact that the Gordon Tech game was rained out last Saturday, while Pittsburg played Penn it is prob able that the Atlanta bunch will be In better physical shape for the coming game than will their rivals. It all de- pends however, on how Techs green ] line stands up in front of McLaren's at- tacks. If they get stage fright It's good night nurse, but if they play their regu-
 lar game, it's anybody's battle.

construction A great deal of inter-
 est is being manifested by the citizens
 in regard to the resumption of work
 on the building and it is certain that some action will be taken soon about
 the matter. Work on the courthouse
 was stopped about year ago on ac- count of war conditions and the con- tracts for the building were cancelled. New contracts will have to be made after the board moves to resume work on the building. Over $150,000 has been collected by the board of revenue through a special tax for the conStruc- tion of the courthouse, and their prom ise has been given to proceed with ] the construction as soon as the ban was lifted, and it is expected that at an early date Bessemer citizens will watch the building grow upon the foundation already laid. A mass meet i ing will probably be called and mem bers of the board invited, at when
 time the matter will be discussed.
 A number of four-minute men of
 Bessemer are attending the state con- 1 ference being held at the Tutwiler ho- i tel in Birmingham Tuesday. Bessemer
 has a very strong force of four min ute speakers, headed by Andrew c.
 Mitchell, chairman, and they have rem dered excellent service of public 1 information for the government during l the past year, especially in the mining | districts and at the various plants. | Those attending the conference are: jJ. F. Haffner, A. c. Mitchell, M. J. 1 Brooks and others.

|b|G FOOTBALL GAME | SET FOR SATURDAY
Howard and Birmingham. Southern GridirOn Teams
 to Meet at Redwood

Those heroic rivals, Howard and Bir- mingham- Southern colleges, will locG horns in their annual football fiasco at Redwood next Saturday at s;3' o'clock. Because of the fact that thess institutions are about on par Tn the athletic world and have been fighting it out for years on the local gridiron arena, considerable interest attaches to the game Saturday.
 Then, too, the entire proceeds Will go. to the athletic funds of these col leges.
 Like all cti.c~ football teams, these two are made up mostly of green men, but they are men who are in perrec' shape, due to the military training course offered by the s. A. T. 2.

It will be remembered that these two teams haven't been scored on in several years and also that they are coached by two of the most famous football wizards in the history of the game, Heisman and Warner, each representative of his section of the country and each possess ing a wonderful knowledge of the strate- gy that is necessary for success in the great collegiate pastime.
 When Tech turned out that wonderful machine last year and so easily trounced all corners in the south and east it was hoped that Glen Warmers aggregation could be matched against the Golden Tor nado, but the faculties of the two insti- tutions couldn't agree on date and the dessert of all the football season was never served to hungry fandom.
 But this year, in spite of the fact that Strupper, Hill and other we'll known Tech stars are missing from the lineup, the game will hold the attention of fans everywhere. Heisman has built a strong machine around two or three veterans, but his rival coach, Warner, had seven or eight men left from the 1917 team with which to start the season and for that reason the dope points to the Pitts brugers in the coming struggle.

1.-THE GYPSP TRAIL"
 AT COLONIAL TODAY
Bryant Washburn in Leading Role
 With Frances Raymond

They say faint heart ne'er won fair lady, but Bryant Washburn, in "The Gypsy Trail" proves exclusively that all such adages are susceptible to refu- tation. In this new Paramount picture at the Colonial theatre today Washburn plays the part of devout lover. lacking those striking and picturesque qualities that appeal sometimes to the Iheart of a maid.
 Wanda Rawley, in the leading femi- nine role, is admirably cast as Frances Raymond. The role calls for girl who is pretty and conventional. but who thinks she is romantic; she has talent and lmagination-and. she employs both in her screen work.

Revision of Naval Bill for Next Fiscal Year Taken Up by House Naval
 Committee
ORIGINAL TOTAL OF
 BILL WILL PROBABLY
 BE GREATLY CUT
Daniels to Be Called Into Conference Today for Discussion of Needs of Navy, so Proper Cut in Esti-
 mates Can Be Made

Washington, November 19. Readjustment of departmental appropriations from a war to a peace basis was begun today by Congress. The House naval committee took up revision of the naval bill for the next fiscal year and members were insistent that expenditures be held. to the lowest possible minimum consistent with eff fective operation and uphuId- ing of the navy.
 As recommended by the navy depart ment, the bill carries total of g, 400 .0O0, 900, the estimates being made in the be- lief that tho war would continue through next year. Rear Admiral Earle, chief ot the ordnance bureau, who was before the committee today, said the department now is revising its estimates and his bureau alone had eliminated more than half of the s40O,eO0,oo0 calculated as necessary next year under war condi- tions. Admiral Earle also revealed that since hostilities ceased the ordnance bu- reau had cancelled contracts amounting to s421, ,35e, ,0O0 practically half of the amount appropriated for the bureau since the war began.
 FINAL AMOUNT UNKNOWN
 Today's hearing had to do with only pne-fifth of the estimates in the bill and after the committee adjourned members could not hazard a guess as to the final amount that will be recommended fol the navy. Secretary Daniels will be called into conference tomorrow for discussion of the navy's needs and the committed men hope to get a clearer idea as to the size of the task before them in parint down estimates.
 Representative Butler of Pennsylvania
 ranking republican member of the com rnfttee and wno is expected to becom' chairman of the committee in the nex Congress, led today in demanding down ward revision, but other members als' insisted that now since hostilities hat ceased government tApSuacS AAdoI " held down sharply.
 EARLE CRITICIZED MT. Butler criticised Admiral Earle' request for $53, 3,0OO,000 for ordnance ant { ordnance stores next year, saying l \ was greater than the amount appropri
 ated in war time He also voiced objec ! ton to the completion of the 112 Eagle boats at the Ford plant at Detroit. Whel asked whether Henry Ford would los { money if the contract were cancelled Admiral Earle said MT. Ford received n profit for the work. The plant. he said ! was financed by the navy department Appropriations and authorizations fo second three-year building programm are included in the naval bill, but thes were not reached today. There wa ,o indication as to the attitude of mem bers on this project, but it is general, ' expected that Congress will approve tn plan.
