CITIES TACKLE FC0D PROBLEMS E:
 IN MANY WAYS Curb Markets and Public Salesroon1s Prove Most
 Popular Methods

That municipalities are tackIing their local food problems in a variety of ways, some of them unusual. is evidenced by reports received by the city marketing division of the Bureau of Markets, United States Department of Agriculture.
 From establishing curb markets, renedeling or building retail market houses, efforts of cities have expand ed until some are actually selling food supplies. while one city of about 55.oQ0 population is operating a farm and selling produce from it at re- tail.
 How One City Sells Food.
 Houston, Texas. which has a mu- nic!paliy owned retail market house, has taken over three s-alIs in the building and Is handling fruits and vegetables il competitor with it's tenants. h ordor to be far to other retailers 1t charges itself with all overhead expenses paid by other dealers, including rent. and also pays wages higher than those paid in other stalls. Reports on ten weeks operation Of the city manag ged stalls show thRt t is possible to buy and sell produce in competition with local merchants at both a direct and in- direct saving to consumers. The ex- pertinent Is to be enlarged to include food products other than fruits and vegetables and is sad to be already serving as q stabiIizing influence on prices in that city market. Com peting merchants have become inter- ested in the methods of doing busi- ness of the city-operated stalls and appear anxious to try out practices that would enable them to lower their prices.
 \ City Goes Into Farming.
 Allentown, Pa. has gone into farm ing on farm acquired for other pur- poses which. through changes in municipal plans, was lying idle Jn- der the direction of one of the city aldermen this farm is producing veg etables and selling -tcom at retail in competition with sh:pped-in produce. The farm also feeds 1,O0O head of hogs on city garbage. Local advo- cates Of the plan now propose to in clude the use Of an old brewery as a storage warehouse Tor potatoes and other products grown by local farm CTS, so as to lessen the cttv's depend ence on shipped-iu products.
 Alth0usA the Bureau Of Markets, through it's city marketing division. is keeping in touch win developn nents in many cities and is compiling infor- mation for use in answering ino71i-- les, It states that t would be glad to hear from any cities, not as vet reached by formal inouirfes, which are working on local food problems through munieipal'v owned shops and by other methods differing from those that have been followed in tho past. The bureau U plans to make available information :n re~arI to the successes and failures of cities in their efforts to solve their food problems in order that municipalities COntern p7a ting special action may have the benefit of the experience Of communities faced with similar conditions

SALTS # BACKACHY
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Drink lots Of water and stop eating
0eat for while if your Bladder
troubles you T.

When you wake up with baclache and
dull misery in the kidney region it gen
orally means you have been eating too
much meat, says a well-lnown authority.
Meat forms uric acid which oTerworks
the kidneys in their effort to filter it
from the blood and they become sort of
paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys
get sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels; re-
moving all the body's urinous waste,
else you have backache, sick headache,
dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue
is coated, and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The urine
Is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often
get sore, water scalds and you are obliged
to seek relief two or three times during
the night.
Either consult good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
q tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for 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 generations to
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize acids in the urine so it
no longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness
Jad salts is a lie saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, cannot
iniure and makes delightful, etfer-
gescent Whitewater drink

Z MILLIONS SAVED
FOR GEORGIA ROADS
RIDER DERIVING STATES U.s.
ING CONVICT LABOR A SHARE
IN FUND is DEFEATED.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Under the
senate amendment to the postoffice
appropriation bill, Georgia will get
approximately 100000 for good
roads for the current and the next
two fiscal years. Fortunately for the
state the senate reversed itself and
struck finally from the bill its amend
ment to prevent payment of federal
roads funds to any state employing
convict labor on its highways.
This amendment got into the bill
while desultory debate was under
way in committee of the whole. Re
turning to the chamber, Senator
Hoke Smith learned that the senate
IN committee of the whole" haC
amended the good roads appropria.
ton to stipulate:
THAT none of the funds hereir
appropriated shall be expended fol-
improvements wherein convict labor
is employed"
Senator Smith Got Busy.
The Georgia senator immediately
gave notice that he reserved the
right to oppose this amendment il
the senate proper. AS Georgia use,
about 1000 convicts on her road:
the state would have been compelled
practically to give up use of it's con
victs or lose its share in the fedora
appropriation for roads. Circulating
among senators from states employ
ing convict labor on the roads Sen
ator Smith mustered a number o,
votes against the amendment, orig
inally offered by Senator Kirby, O.
Arkansas, and on reconsideration
the senate struck the amendment
from the bill. Georgia came near los
ing its interest in the federal appro
priation because of the convict labor
rider. The state may now receive its
federal appropriation and also con,
tinue to use its convicts.
The postoffice bill carries $780,.
100000 for good roads, fifty millions
for the current fiscal year; seventy.
five millions for next year and ar
equal sum for the next year. Geor
gia's estimated share is S7,402,
517.16, and Georgia's contribution tc
meet the federal fund may be in part
paid by convict labor.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS WILL NOT
BAR ANY FROM GOING TO WAR
Permitted Refuse Arbitration Germanys Threat of Anoh-
World War Can Be Carried Out in the Future

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Announce-
ment this week that the constitution
of the society of nations will not
forcibly prevent two antagonists
from fighting if they refuse to accept
an arbitration award has been fol-
lowed by threats from Germany of
another world war if an attempt is
made by the peace conference per-
manently to throttle Germany's vital
interests.
The decision of the Paris delegates
to let bellicose nations carry their
grievances to the battlefield is due
to a reluctance among all of the
great powers to place their armies
and navies at the full disposal of
the society of nations. There is not
a delegation among the "big five"
that could pledge its country in adj
vance to go to war to uphold a man.
date of the society.
This delicate matter has not pre-
vented the organization of the society
on more moderate lines than was at
first intended. Nevertheless, close at
| tention must be paid by the worlds
leading nations in the future to mil
itary affairs. In fact, this weeks an
/ nouncement that the peace confer
ence will order a general reduction
| IN ornaments means only that if an
! other war occurs, the armies will be
much smaller at the beginning of the
war than they were at the outset
of the present conflict.
Since nations are to be allowed to
! go to war, but with fewer trained
men, keen rivalry will be developed
among the powers for greater indi-
vidual skill among their soldiers. In
| tensive training rather than mass tao
tics will be the future ideal in mill
tary leaders. With a small army it
will be more difficult than formerly
to wage an offensive war, but the
difficulty can be overcome if one ma
ton shows greater aptitude than an
other for a military life.
The condition, therefore, must be
faced that the society of nations will
not make a war of revenge by Ger
many an impossibility.
This is one of the reasons WHY
1 France is showing uneasiness over
the substitution of the league of ma
tons for the old system of alliances
Under the terms of an alliance ma
tons bind themselves to go to war on
one another's behalf. But no such
agreement ought to exist in the Sc
ciety of nations. France, as Ger
many's neighbor, might, therefore
become an object of attack sometime
in the future with no nation pledged
to hold the Germans back
Chances must be run, however
while the league of nations is in its
infancy, and the biggest chance falls
to the lot of France.
