Hot Alkaline Water
Better Than Medicines
To Flush Kidneys.


kidney and bladder disorders must
naturally result whenever the
blood is not sufficiently alka-
line to keep the uric acid dis
solved. Tiny, sharp crystals
then grind about in the
veins and lodge in
joints.
Uric acid, like other acids, is imme-
diately neutralized by any strongly
alkaline liquid. Uric acid crystals are
also thus dissolved just as sugar crys-
tails are dissolv ed by water or snow
crystals melted by heat. This, of
course. is elementary chemistry, but it
is truly astonishing how few people,
excepting the medical profession, un-
derstand that the water we drink
must necessarily reach the kidneys by
first being absorVed into the blood,
and If the water is strongly alkaline
it thoroughly fiushes the kidneys when
being expelled, taking with it all the
irritating acids or impurities it has
neutraliZed, dissolved and absorbed
while in the blood This is the secret

CONSERVATION OF
WATER NEEDED AS.
PLANTS RESUME
Warnings of Possible Famine
Again Issued by City
Officials

Mayor Keister last night lifted the
ban on the city's industrial plants
and this morning the thousands of
men and women who have had a
six-day holiday because of the wa
ter shortage. returned to work.
There is approximately twenty
four feet of water in the reservoir
now, and with the assistance of the
electric pump which may be start
ed to-day, Commissioner Hassler
said he believes Il sufficient supply
can be kept in the mains. The wa
ter being pumped into the city
mains by Steelton and Dauphin
two, depending upon the progress
of repair work at the pumping sta
ton.
City officials repeated the warn
ings to residents and manufactur-
ing plants not to waste any water
because of the famine which may
result. Commissioner Hassler in
speaking of the situation said repe-
tition of the wastage during the last
few weeks may mean another clos
ing order for manufacturing plants.
Work OH Main
With fair weather again to-day
work on the ditch for the sixteen
inch main from the electric pump
was resumed. 1t is hoped to have
the trench ready for the pipe when
it reaches the city. All arrange
ments for using the electric pump
with the temporary eight-inch line
have been completed, but the con-
crete base had not set at late hour
yesterday, delaying plans for start
ing it.
Repairs to the 1900, ,OOO-gallon
pump which broke last November,
will be completed in about two
weeks. The big casting has been
placed and will be enclosed in con-
crete.
During tho time this work is be-
ing done other minor repairs will
he finished so that the pump can
be. put in operation probably by
February 8.
27,OOO,OOO Gallons Daily
After the big pump is started
again the permanent connection for
the electric machine will be made.
Harrisburg then will have four
pumps with a total capacity of about
27,0O0,000 gallons daily as follows:
Two old pumps built in 1874, 10,-
00G,C00 gallons.
New pump built in 1902, 12,OOO,-
600 gallons.
New electric pump, 0,OOO,OOO gal
Ions.
1t is planned also to make chang
es on the two old pumps now rum
ming so that the capacit. of these
machines will be increased. 1t is
likely that monthly tests of all the
equipment will be made so that any
parts in need of repair will be dis
covered and all the pumps will be
ready for any emergency use.

FREE FAIRGROUNDS
WELL PATRONIZED

The free Fairgrounds in the town
are proving a great success, and
scores of children patronize them
three times a week, to enjoy the story
hour and the merry games under the
direction of able and sympathetic
Young women. The older children
are now growing more interested, and
vie with each other in pole vaulting,
running, broad jumping, etc.,
Interest also grows apace in the es-
tablishment of basket ball outfits on
the grounds.
Friday, August 29th, is to be tag
day. On these tags is printed "Save
the children. One dime for medical
inspection and a district nurse" Be
ready with your dime, and don't fail
to get your tag. Wear it as badge
of honor.
If every one in town will give
dime. those two supremely important
steps in the Child Welfare Campaign
will be attained. Remember, medical
inspection in the schools, and good
district nurse may mean the saving
of YOUR child's life. 1t will at the
verv least mean the prevention of
any epidemic and the correction OF
minor ailments.
Can you afford not to pay your
dime? No greater war work is pos
sible than this Child's Welfare Cam
paign.
Help the rising generation!

FARMERS ROAD MARKETS

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 28th-Georgia
farmers are urged to establish road
side markets on the frequented high
ways for the sale of their products
to passing automobilists. The U. S.
Food Administration, in special bull
letin just addressed to county admin
istrators suggests that the farmer
might dispose of large amount of
perishables and the mOtorist profit by
a reduced price, through such an ar
rangement. The suggestion is that
stand be placed convenient to the
roadside where it might be attended
by the housewife or children. A bull
letin board might announce the kind
and quality of the produce offered
and the price stated.
Reports made to the Food Admin
istration state that other states have
found the roadside market very
successful enterprise, appealing es-
pecially to a class of motorists who
ride in the evenings for pleasure. 1t
has been found the source of the saw
ing of a considerable truck tonnage
and frequently has served to save
farm labor by enabling the farmer
and his family to spend the time in
the fields rather than eRpoute to and
from the city market.

GOOD COTTON PRICES
NOW SEEM ASSURED

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 29-"There is
no reason to get excited over the cot
ton market situation" states Com
missioner of Agriculture ]. j. Brown.
If each farmer will retire and hold
every third bale, marketing the re-
mainder gradually, the cotton stu
alton will work out all right, Mr..
Brown said.
at has cost us an average of more
than 25 cents to produce this crop, "
Mr.. Brown stated, "and the deterior-
alton has been the greatest in the
last forty days ever known. 1t is now
evident that we cannot make a nor
NAL crop.
''It has been clearly shown that the
American mills will need in round
numbers a million bales more than
last year. America exported last
year agout 100000 bales. Recent
ly England has increased her active
spindles five per cent and increased
the number of working hours Is per
cent; so that the English consumption
will be more than a million bales ini
excess of what it was last year.
"From these facts it is evident that
the worlds demand will be more than
two million bales in excess of last
year; and since the crop will not be
above the normal, there is no reason
that we can see to worry about the
price of cotton.
''The law of supply and demand un-
ling their cotton for the last fifty
der which the farmers have been sell
years and every principle of fair deal
ing, warrants legitimate price of
more than 35 cents a pound for the
current crop.

BRUNSWICK WAR PLANT
NEEDS MANY LABORERS

The War Department of the United
States is constructing a mammoth
plant at Brunswick, Georgia, for the
manufacture of picric acid to be used
in the making of explosives, and this
product is one of the essential and
imperative needs in the prosecution
of the war.
The United States Employment
Service has directed the Employment
Service of Georgia to cease recruiting
labor for all other projects and to
devote it's entire time and attention
to securing laborers for this great
war plant, and has stated that the
responsibility of providing these men
rests upon this state.
There is imm ediately required sew
eral thousand unskilled laborers, and
within a few days several hundred
skilled laborers will be needed.
Delay means a lack of essential
equipment for our soldiers in France,
and may involve serious consequences
even the lives of some of our soldiers.
Let each community act imTedi-
ately, and wire Honorable H. M. Stan
ley, Commissioner of Labor for Geor-
gia, advising how many laborers can
be furnished for this service imme-
diately. He will give all necessary
information and instructions.

Mr.. AWTREY SAYS HE NEVER
AUTHORIZED ANNOUNCEMENT

An article was published in the
Cobb County Times last week in
which it was stated that Lemon Aw-
trey of Acworth would be a candi-
date for county commissioner for the
second road district, which includes
Acworth, Kennesaw and Red Rock
districts, and that his entrance fee
had been paid.
The Democratic Executive Com
mittee did not make provision for the
nomination of a commissioner from
this district, for the reason that Mr.. j.
E. eagle was elected to this position,
and his term of Office will not expire
until January 1st, 1921.
Mr.. Awtrey came to Marietta Sat-
urday and stated that he did not au-
thorize this announcement, and had
notified Hon. C. w. Dupree, Chair
man of the County Democratic Com
mittee, not to put his name on the
ticket, or call the committee together
to consider the same, unless Mr.. eagle
in writing rendered his resignation.
He stated that when he noticed this
article in the Times he wrote Mr.. E.
P. Dobbs of Marietta to this effect.
This movement was an effort on
the part of certain politicians in Ma
rietta to disrupt the board of Com
missioners and cause confusion in the
second road district, but Mr.. Awtrey
refused to become party to the
scheme.
Mr.. Awtrey is one of the best citi-
zens of the county highly respected
by every body that knows him, and
would no boubt make an excellent
commissioner, but he declined to be
drawn into this sort of scheme.
The question is being asked why Mr..
Dobbs and his associates in Marietta
are so interested in meddling in the
affairs of the second road district,
and endeavoring to cause disruption
in the county board.

tives last week, Solicitor Clay of the
Blue Ridge Circuit, will hereafter re-
ceives from the circuit a salary of
$3.75O.
For the last nineteen months the
solicitor has been up against it, as the
saying is, because the judge has made
it hard for him by not allowing him
a living out of the Office. He will
now be independant of the judge so
far as living is concerned.
What effect this new law will have
on the criminals of the county re-
mains to be seem"
