Plug the Pro-
posed Amendment

State Superintendent Bond and some
other political teachers are e1deavoring
to get the constitution amended, SO as
to further increase the great disparity
between what some counties pay into the
state treaSury than what they get out
of each for school and other county pur~
poses. About 80 counties Of the state
get back into their county treacuries
more money for schools aid pensions than
they pay to the state for all purposes,
leaving Holmes county and 40 other coun-
ties to pay the whole expenses Of run
ming the state government and to help
run the schools and pensions of 80 other
counties.
II this amendment be adopted, Holmes
and less than one-half If the other coun-
ties Of the state will be still more heavily
taxed for the whole expenses Of the state
government and to send back money to
counties, who get the whole state govern
ment free, including their legislators,
judges, district attorneys, including hos
pitals and colleges.

Let the Soldiers Keep Their Uniforms

More than sentiment attaches to the joint
resolution introduced in the United States Senate
by Senator Watson of Indiana authorizing and
permitting enlisted men of the army, navy and
marine corps to keep their own individual
property all of the uniforms possessed by them
at the time of their discharge. Under the pres
ent law, they must surrender all their equipment,
with the exception of underwear and socks with
in four months from the day on which they were
discharged.
Most of the boys, of course, will want to dis
card their uniforms as quickly as possible and
get into their civilian clothing, but quite num-
Der are financially not able to purchase civilian
clothing within short time after quitting the

high just now, owing to war conditions.

not be put to needless expense if the boys were
permitted to retain their uniforms The average
layman cannot understand what the government
intends to do with the millions of discarded uni
forms that are accommodating in the army and
navy warehouses. If by retaining their uniforms
service is performed for the boys, certainly the
government should grant it.
what does the government want of the sol
diers' old clothing?" asks the Philadelphia In

clothes enough to supply an army of 100000

Of the department are very keen on the matter

Daily Health Talks
l WORD ABOUT THE KIDNEY
BY DOCTOR WATSON.

People are easily frightened when
they think something is the matter with
their lungs or heart, and well they
may be; but few people understand
The dangers of diseased kidneys. These
organs have a duty of vital Importance
to perform, and if they are diseased,
there is no telling how or where the
symptoms may appear. The kidneys
are filters, and when they are healthy
they remove the poisons from the blood
and purify it. When the kidneys are
diseased, the poisons are spread every
where, and one OF these poisons is uric
acid. The uric acid is carried all
through the system and deposited in
various places, in the form of urate
salts in the feet, ankles, wrists and
back often forming bags under the
eyes. Sometimes the resulting trouble
is called rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica
and backache. Finally, come stone
in the bladder, diabetes and Bright's
disease.
DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, in recent
years, discovered that q certain COM
bination of remedies would dissolve uric
acid urate salts) in the system. He
found this combination to be harmless,
so that he made it up in tablets,
of double strength, and called them
Anuric Tablets. They dissolve uric
acid in the human system as hot coffee
dissolves sugar. If you have uric acid
troubles, don't delay in taking Anuric
Tablets, which can be secured in the
drug stores. You can write DR.. Pierce,
too, and he will tell you what to eat
and how to live SO that more uric acid
will not form in your system. DR.. Pierce
will NIT charge for this advice.

Reading Good Books

The Garfield Headlight in an editorial in its
issue of last week, indicates that the children of
the Garfield High School appreciate the value of
good books and early in life the folly of stor-
ing the mind with literary trash.
The thought of the editorial might well be ap-
piled to adults as well and for that reason it is
reproduced as follows:
Every girl and boy should form the habit
early of reading good books instead of wasting
time on some silly stories that have no value as
literature. A few simple stories are all right for
children to read, but too many of these spoil ones
taste for better things. In reading these books
one should have variety: history, poetry and
good fiction.
"The reading of good books has an influence
on ones life 1t is the greatest aid in gaining
culture and education.
''The books that you are reading now, if well
chosen, will help you always. Everyone of us
should acquire taste for good literature now so
we will never care for any other kind when
grown
No one in Richmond can complain that the
opportunity is not offered to obtain good books.
The Morrisson-Reeves Library is public institu-
ton that is filled with the worlds best literature.
Moreover, well selected stock of magazines and
current periodicals enables the citizen to keep
abreast of the times.

A group of business men in a south

on street corner and were discussing
the progress that had been made by
the allied forces on the western front.
During the conversation a fellow citi-
zen who is fond of expressing his
opinion, but whose field of infcrma-
ton is SO limited that he doesn't ap-
preciate how small it is, joined the
crowd and listened to the various ex.
pressions.
