CRIME NOT REDUCED
REF SING PARD0NS
Bar Associations at Anna' Meeting

Executive Clennency-Gcor-
qia's Bad Record.

Atlanta, May 6.-The non-cXercEsa
of executive clemeucy has 70 effect
in reducing crime seems to have been
conclusively demonstrated during the
administration of Governor Hugh NJ.

news who will discuss the subject at
the meeting of the Georgia Bar AssO.
citation. Governor Dorsey vas elect
ed to office on platform opposed to
the granting Of rardons, cmmutatins
or paroles except in extreme cases.
In the past year there were fifteen
lynchings in Georgia and great many
homicides, the record being such as
to subject the state to much criticism
in other sections of the country, and
to cause concern among lawyers,
judges and officials charged with the
maintenance Of peace and good or
der.
The Georgi Bar Association at its
annual convention at Tyhee this week
will probably take UP the question of
lynchings and hOInicides and discuss
ways and means Of reducing crime.
1t was contended by those who sat
store by Governor Dorsey's platform
that crimes were caused by the abuse
of the power Of executive clemency.
For practically two years the policy
Of DoneXercise of clemency has been
in vogue, and the number of homi-
cides, lynchings and other crimes
seems not to have abated.
A justice of the United States SUI
preme court, the chief justice of the
South Carolina supreme court and the
chief justice of the Georgia supreme
court will be speakers at the joint
meeting of the bar associations OF
Georgia and South Carolina to be held
lat Tybee. One feature OF the con
vention will be the annual banquet.

MEAT INJURIOUS
TO THE KIDNEYS
Take tablespoonful Of Salts if Back
hurts OF Bladder bothers-Meat
forms uric acid.

We are a nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid, says a
well-lnown authority, who warns US to
be constantly on guard against kidney
trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood OF this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork; they
get sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog
and thus the waste is retained il the
blood to poison the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel like
humps of lead, and you have singing
pains in the back or the urine is cloudy,
full Of sediment, or the bladder is irri-
table, obliging you to seek relief during
the night; when you have severe head
aches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleepess-
ness, acid stomach or rheumatism in bad
weather, get from your pharmacist about
four ounces of Jad Salts; take q
tablespoonful in glass of water before
breakfast each morning and in a few
days your kidneys will 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 cloggcd kidneys,
TO ucutralize the acids in urine so it is
no longer source of irritation, thus
ending urinary and bladder disorders.
,Jai Salts is inexpensive and cannot
Iuiure; makes delightful effervescenE
l;thia-water drink, and nobody can make
q mistake by taking a little occasionally
to keep the kidneys clean and active.

martyred Katherine was sO-callcd for
