From The Cambridge Correspondent.

As We were on the road to Harmony
Friday we met an auto in a place where
1t hadn't ought to be, but asst belonged
to the first selectman of Harmony and
in the town of Harmony it was none of
our business. Still we were sorry to
see him there as it was a hard ease.
While not as hard as granite it was like
marble as he got there by being too lib
eral in his ways Cor with his highways.
He met another auto and in turning to
the right his auto skidded and landed in
the ditch and the other fellow went on
his way (perhaps rejoicing. Well, if
he had turned to the left the other
fellow might have been left
We read in some paper this week that
some one wanted to know what the
allies intended to knock out of Kaiser
Wilhelm. The Kenncbec journal ex-
pected to sec them knock the Will out
of him. We don t think there is but
one thing to knock out of him-knock
out the four middle letters, be sure to

CAUSE OF
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take glass of Salts If your Back
hurts or Bladder bothers-
Meat forms uric acid.

If you must have your meat every
day, eat it, but flush your kidneys with
salts occasionally, says noted author
ity, who tells us that meat forms uric
acid which almost paralyzes the kid
neys in their effort to expel it from
the blood. They become sluggish and
weaken, then you suffer with a dull mis-
cry in the kidney region, sharp pains
in the back or sick headache, dizziness,
your stomach sours, tongue is coated
and when the weather is bad 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 a 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
tions 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
, jure, and makes delightful effcrvos-
cent lithia- water drink.-Advt.

After all, why doesn t it serve all
political purposes to publish a party's
platform in the newspapers of the
state and let it go at that2''-Brat-
tleboro Reformer.
Of course the platform. to mean
anything, should reflect the opinion of
majority of the delegates assembled
in convention according to law A par
ty platform is not something that a
few men can draw up and ratify all
by themselves, that is, not if the claim
is to be made for it that it represents
party declaration.
1t is perhaps unfortunate that it is
an impossibility to hold a Republican
state convention, but no one can make
the claim that any Republican so ma
nipulated affairs taat a convention
couldn t be held. A combination of
circumstances. frightfnl epidemic.
has made impossible . convention, and
there is no opportunity TO ratify or
alter anything which the committee on
resolutions might propose. We must
make the best of it. Not that it pre-
sents a serious situation, for it does
nothing of the kind. At this particu-
lar time, when politics in the ordinary
| sense, is adjourned, there ism t much
| need for platform any way.
It is easy TO conceive what the Re
publicans would have presented to the
people; strong declaration in favor
| of prosecuting the war to complete
victory; dedication OF the state s re-
sources to war tasks; woman suffrage
plank; plank on prohibition. possibly
with an explanation, making it plain
that this matter is to be disposed of
by the members of the legislature and
not by other candidates on the state
ticket; promise to improve bookkeep-
ing methods at Montpelier; DECLARE
ton for proper economy and a Short
legislative session, and possibly some
thing about roads and schools
From what has been done in the
past one may judge what would have
been done at the present time. The
record of the party for the past half
century is known and is something to
be proud of 1t would have been fol-
lowing custom to have a platform, and
: for this reason it is unfortunate that
It is impossible to promulgate one. but
conditions being as they are. what
great harm is done! There is, after
all, more real honesty in going to the
people on the record than on a string
of promises

SLAVERY IN GERMANY.

Have Won ever asked Yourself about
the difference in the rights and priv
ilcges of the masses and the classes in
Gcrmany9 Probably not. Would YOU
suppose that a nation, regarded by all
the world few years ago as civilized,
could be guilty of maintaining a sys-
tenn Of slavery IN this day and genera
ton? This is the testimony of Prof
Paul II. Hanus Of the department of
education, Harvard university, who was
born in Prussia.
The masses of the German people, he
says, are dcnselv ignorant As whole
they are not intelligent people, but
stold, doltish; and they arc kept in
that coalition in the interest of a rcla-
lively small, selfish, governing class
German society is stratifed socially
There are grades in the classes, but not
among the masses. Whatever is done
for the bulk of tho German people is
done in the interest, not Of those peo-
! pie, but of the classes. Dependence of
/ the masses on the classes-on the state
! is systematically cultivated by the
German social and educational system.
The result is paralysis of indcpend-
enco in thought and action among the
great majority that not only permits
their exploitation, but prevents them
/ faf mi bar ,,f
society than that in which they were
reared. From this there follows an alb
iect subservicnec to the superior intolli-
/ gcncc and the authoritative control of
the classes OF course, the classes look
after the physical welfare Of their de.
lpcndCnts. The latter arc paid living
wages that is, wages or salaries just
large enough to maintain them in theil
humble station and to restrict them tc
II; and they arc provided for when sls
tabled by sickness or old age. But al
this is done for them by their officia
Isupcriors The mental and moral wei
fare Of the masses, as conceived by the
classes, is simply safeguardcd by the
classcs-oncc more, in the interest OF
the classcs-by the public school system
To make this system of slave educa
ton more efficient and TO place Ger
many upon pinnacle, where she woulc
be unapproachable by other nations
history IS deliberately falsificd. Listen
ing to q recitation, Prof. Hanus learne'

The more one learns about the way

died in other places the more evident
il becomes that BrattlehorO s com
parativclv light visitation thus far is
due less to chance than to prompt and
efficient organization. The only reason
the disease hasn't spread here as rap
idly as it has in so many places is be
cause the first cases were taken in
hand Immediately and the situation
kept under closest scrutiny ever since.
Next to putting an Immediate ban on
all public gatherings the most effective
measure in dealing with the LEGAL sit
uation was, without question, the eS-
tablishment Of an emergency hospital
for the treatment of eases that could
not easily be quarantined at home.
And those responsible for its estab-
lishment are entitled to the credit of
! having it ready 20 receive patients
within few hours after the need be-
came apparent. With the situation sc
well in hand it would be the height OF
folly to think of opening up until this
