|QU|T MEAT WHEN
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take glass of Salts. if your
Back hurts or Bladder
troubles you.

No man or woman who eats
meat regularly can make a mis-
take by flushing the kidneys occa-|
sionally, says a well-known au-
thority. Meat forms uric acid
which excites the kidneys, they
become overworked from the
strain, get sluggish and fail to
filter the waste and poisons from
the blood. then we get sick. Near
ly all rheumatism, headaches,
liver trouble, nervousness, dizzi-
ness, sleeplessness and urinary
disorders come from sluggish kid
neys.
The moment you feel dull
ache in the kidneys or your back
hurts or if the urine is cloudy,
offensive, full Of sediment, irreg-
ular Of passage or attended by a
sensation of scalding, stop eating
meat and get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from any pharmacy
take tablespoonful in glass Of
water before breakfast and in a
few days your kidneys will act
fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lem
on juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for genera
tons to flush and stimulate the
kidneys, also to neutralize the
acids in urine so it no longer
causes irritation, thus ending
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and
cannot injure; makes q delightful
effervescent Whitewater drink
which everyone should take now
and then to keep the kidneys
clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious
kidney complications.

WILL NOT SIGN TREATY.
No German Will Attach Name tC
Death Sentence Treaty

No German can be found who
would attach his name to docu-

Count Won Bernstorff, former
German ambassador at Washing
ton, when questioned regarding a
press report from Paris that it
would be easier to get him to sign
the treaty than Count Won Brock
oriff-Rantzau, the head of the
German peace mission at Versail-
les.

wish peace" he continued, there
is only one way-to amend the

Russian people have learned
to their sorrow that Bolshevism is
not political doctrine, but
rather tyranny Of ignorance
and bloodshed which leaves indi-

Maj. Geo. w. Simmons, special

Living With Your Children.

Like thousands of other par
ents you think it unnecessary for
you to accumulate for your old
age, because you expect to spend
your declining years in the
homes of your children.
You have right to expect
this, but it does not always work
out this way.
When your children marry
they do not always have full
control of their homes some
times they have really little to
say as to the conduct of them.
Your children-in-law may be
very fond of you, but you cannot
expect them to have quite the
same sympathy and understand
ing that an own child would or
should have.
They do not know the priva-
lions you underwent to put your
family in the best possible po-
sition you could, nor do they feel
the love-controlled interest
which prompted you in every
thing you did for your offspring.
This fact does not relieve the
own child from doing his or her
utmost to make life comfortable
for father and mother as they
get older, but you are not fair To
that SON or that daughter If you
do not work as much as possible
to keep from having to accept
help from them while they are
rearing their families and ad-
justing their own affairs and con-
ditionss Clarlsdale Regieters \

SIDNEY STAPLETON WRITES
INTERESTING LETTER.

Paris, France, May 8th., 1919.
Mr.. w. S. May. Brandon, Miss
Dear Mr.. May: Well how is
Brandon? l can tell how it is
though, without asking the ques-
ton, I know that it is the best
place in the world. Believe me,
! certainly would like to be there
this beautiful spring day.
! am now stationed in gay
Parre", the most beautiful place
that I was ever in in my life. /
am always wondering If I am a
sleep and just dreaming. am
now working for the Athletic de-
partment of the Army. My job
consists of keeping account if all
the athletic equipment that is
shipped out to the different di-
visions of the army. The Inter-
national Meet is to be held here
on the 25th. of June and every
nation of the world Is to take
part, that is of course with the
exception of Germany.
| pass the place where the
Peace Commission is in session,
on my way to and from the office.
The name of it is the Quay de
Orsay. There are some of the
most beautiful buildings and
squares and boulevards that you
ever saw. / guess that it must
have taken years and years to
build some of the structures.
There is the Archie of Triumphe
that they claim that it took seven
years to build, and / don't doubt
their word either, because it is as
large as the town of Brandon al
most, that is with out including
the suburbs of Brandon.
am continually wishing that
all my friends back home could
be here to see Paris. There is
but one place that like better
than Paris and that is of course.
Brandon.
| think that they are going to
keep me over here until the big
games are over and then l will
get to- come home toute de suit,
some time in July l suppose and
hope. That guy that wrote Home
Sweet, Home must have been in
the army when he got the ipspira-
ton, he knew what he was doing
when he wrote it.
1t is impossible for me to put
into writing all that l would like
to, but | will wait until get
back to Gods Country and tell
YOU all about it. Tell all my
friends hello for me and drop me
a line once in a while and tell
me about everything that is going
on back there because l am in
terested-I am going to be a citi-
zen of Mississippi hereafter-no
more soldering for me, l have
beaucoup sufficient.
Bon jour,
Your friend,

Pure-Bred Bulls Are Needed to De
 selop Profitable Dairy Herd.

iZed the same investment would have purchased the necessary bulls at an average of S2S3. On the farms men, toned nearly four times as many bulls were used as would have been required under proper organization. Tl.e farm CTS were therefore feeding four lulls when they should have been feeding only one.
 Data from one of the first bull asso- citations organized under the direction of the department of agriculture H. luStrate this very well. Before the association was formed the bulls in use had an average market value of SS9. The average price paid by the association for registered bulls was S240. Price does not always core spond to value, yet as the bulls were carefully selected the price in this case is doubtless fair index of true worth In this association each farm CTS investment for share in good registered bull was S14 less than his former investment in an animal of in- ferfor breeding and doubtful merit.
 
 cooperative bull associations are even more encouraging. In one association having more than 100 members the original cost to each member was only S23. The members already have had the use of good pure-bred bulls for four years and probably will have their use six years longer without additional fnr ir1ta An. other association with more than 50 members has had the use of good pure bred bulls for more than seven years aT an average investment of less than S25 member, with prospects of be ing able to uSe them for three or four years more. Practically all dairymen desire 10 raise pure-bred cattle. but comparatively few can afford individ ually to purchase such bulls as are needed to develop a profitable pure bred herd The bull association over. comes the difficulty and the money saved can be used toward the pur. chase Of registered females.
 When questioned regarding the value of cooperative buu associations. 15el farmers in Maryland. Michigan and Minnesota estimated that the use Of bulls belonging to the organization in. creased the value of the offspring in the first generation from 30 fo SD per cent. with an average of 6 per cent. Usually in business transactions in which there is a probability of great gain there is a possibility of heavy loss, but in bull associations the chances of profit are excellent, with little probability of loss. The invest ment is so small and the chance for herd improvement so great that the net returns greatly exceed the small orig inal investment.

f1Nr[F TOWN HELPS
UNCLE SAM'S MODERN TOWN
Beauty and Convenience Both Kept in Mind When Yorkship Was
 Planned and Built.

"Perhaps the most remarkable ex, ample of the governments ability as a town builder is Yorkship, near Cam den, N. J., designed to serve employ ees of the New York Shipbuilding cor poration," writes Robert H. Moulton in Popular Mechanics Magazine. This town, where 10000 of Uncle Sams shipworkers lived. might almost be said to have been built overnight. Starting work early in the summer, about thousand houses were ready for occupancy in October, with an other thousand to follow.
 "The plan for Yorkship is perhaps the most complete town plan ever made. Every house is complete; it has hot and cold-water systems, mod ern plumbing, up-to-date plumbing fix lures, gas range, hot-water heater, electric light and cellar furnace. The government had at its service the best town planners and architects in Amer ica, and with all the haste that was made beauty and good taste were not sacrificed. The houses are not all alike in color, material or style. On the con trary, throughout each of these spa cious, slumless tracts is evidence that the thing was planned as whole. The chief benefit which accrues to the worker from the building of these towns is the fact that landlordism is to be thing unknown. The benefits are to go unfailingly to the workers Rents must be based on cost and not on the maximum which the tenants can be forced to pay. And inasmuch as the government has no desire to retain the ownership now the war is practi- cally ended, a scheme has been evolved to sell them, not to indiyidu- als, but to the new communities as a whole, to be held in trust as commu- nity property"

MIGHT BE MADE UNIVERSAL
Los Angeles Has Set Other Places Good Example in Getting Rid of
 Its UnsightIy BiIboards.

They still do things effectively in the golden West, where in other days they adopted the custom of shooting first and talking afterward.
 In Los Angeles, where civic pride is more operative than linguistic. it was decreed that billboards were such an affront to the artistic sense that they should be removed from the public gaze. To decide was to act. Men equipped with instruments of demoli- ton sallied forth on June l and began a work which since then has resulted in the removal of $40 garish billboards and has immolated them on high al- tar of outraged taste. The job still is going on and the hope openly is ex- pressed and nursed that before the good work is over fully six miles of signs, objected to by the public, will nave been eliminated"
 Six miles of signs eliminated; think of it. Two full leagues of tooth paste pink pills. milady's lingerie, chewing gum, garters. etc. snatched from the wearied gaze of an aroused people and interned, sans appeal, sans hope. What place Los Angeles must be l-Cincin- nati Times-Star.

Open Spaces Important.

Good housing far the small com munity means much more than for the gfeat city, because it is possible to have far better standards. And q small city has no excuse-even if a great one pretends to have-for areas in which grass cannot grow or gardens flourish because of smoke and gases. The surroundings of houses may be made attractive Shrubs and flowers may take the place of expensive con Struction if good taste is used in their selection and location.
 And one of the great features all most entirely neglected in smaller places is one of the most important Houses may be so arranged as to leave free open spaces for the play of chill dren. Many cities. to be sure, have parks or 2 park, but a city is all too likely to feel content with itself if it has one or two such places beautiful ly kept and well fitted to please the eye of grown-ups on q sedate Sunday afternoon walk. Far more important is it to have the houses in every small area of q few blocks so planned as to leave space for games and other pub lie use.

Rats Cause Heavy Losses.

Losses from rats in cities are enorm- ous. Tn 1908 the biological survey made a careful study of rat infesta- tions in two cities. Washington and Baltimore. with the result that actual losses of produce and other property amounting annually to $400.000 and SI00000. respectively. were revealed. These sums are nearly in ratio to the populations. The Woman's Municipal league of Boston recently announced that losses from rats in that city amounted to s1,350.00o each year. Losses in Pittsburgh, Pa.. have been estimated at over sI000,0o0 q year.

DAIRY COWS REQUIRE SALT
Best Plan to Give Small Quantity in Feed and Place Rock Salt in

Prepared by the United States Depart
