IF you have been reading the adver-
tisements on the screens Of the To-
= cal theaters you know that this
week is national Humane Neog. It
is extensively observed in the east and
is beginning to be very popular in the
western cities of the continent. Per
haps no cause is more worthy Of one s
support than is the protection of dumb
animals. The public is becoming more
and more in sympathy with the society
that has the furtheranee of kindness
to animals as its object. The world war
has helped the cause immeasnrably;
the heroism Of the Red Cross dogs; the
loyalty of the cavalry horses; the val
our OF the brave little carrier pigeons
all these have gone to show that the
principles of the humane society are
worthy of attention.
A fair example of the victories that
the society is winning is shown in the
action Of Commissioner Mann of Port
land who is planning to introduce an
ordinance making it a misdemeanor
for an autoist to fail to report to the
police bureau after hitting, injuring or
killing an animal.
Says Commissioner Mann:
"There is no excuse for an automo-
bile driver hitting a dog, for if proper
warning is given by the blowing of a
horn the average dog will get out OF
the pathway of the machine. Should
an accident occur, however, the least
that the driver can do is to report the
accident to the owner or to the police
department.
f'This is humane week and for that
reason / would like to call to the at
tention of the autoists that in the first
place kindness should be shown to the
dumb brutes and in the second place
dos are personal property, are taxed
and are entitled to the same consider,

Movies Shown on
Ceiling to Joy of
Wounded Soldiers

4 TLANTA, Feb. 19.-Throwing
"a motion pictures on a ceiling
screen for the benefit of wounded
soldiers who are too weak to sit up
in bed is one of the latest marvels
installed in the general hospital at
Fort Mcpherson. The pictures are
said to be as good as those on a
regular screen, and are delightfully."-
enjoyed by the soldiers. Anything
to break the monotony of their con-
finement is welcomed with enthus-
iasm.
Another clever device is a large
checker board painted on a screen
hung on the wall where men in bed
can see it. The men on the board
are about II inches in diameter,
and are hung in the squares on lit
tie rings. The men in bed direct
the moves and man standing be-
side the board carries out their di-
rections. In this manner they play
very interesting games.

GLASS Of SALTS
CLEANS KIDNEYS
If your Back is aching or Bladder
bothers, drink lots of water
and eat less meat.

When your kidneys hurt and your back
feels sore, don't get scared and proceed
to load your stomach with lot of drugs
that excite the kidneys and irritate the
entire urinary tract. Keep your kidneys
clean like you keep your bowels Clean
by flushing them with mild, harmless
salts which removes the body's urinOus
waste and stimulates them to their nor
NAL activity. The function of the kid
news is to filter the blood. In "a hours
they strain from it 500 grains of acid
and waste, so we can readily understand
the vital Importance of keeping the kid
neys active
Drink lots of water-you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast each morning for few
days and your kidneys will act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with Iithia, and has been used for genera
lions to clean and stimulate clogged kid
neys; also to neutralize the acids in
urine 50 it no longer is a source of irri-
t. ton. thus ending bladder weakness.
lad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
lure; makes a delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone should
take now and then to keep their kid
neys clean and active. Try this, also
keep up the water drinking, and no
doubt you will wonder what became OF
your kidney trouble and backache.

ToGive upEvening
Phone Gossip For
EntertainingHubby

A TLANCA, Feb. 19.-Atlantt club
"A women have launched move
ment to cut out needless telephone
conversations after $50 o'clock
in the afternoon. Believing the ha-
bit to be an utter and frivolous
waste of time, as well as an extra
burden upon telephone service
which ought to be dispensed with,
and believing further that it pro-
notes friction and unhappiness in
the family circle, the married wo-
men of the Atlanta Woman's club
are pledging themselves to finish
their telephone conversations be-
fore $50 and after that hour to
devote themselves to their hus-
bands, who would probably spend
more time at home If they could
ret their wives attention.
The useless telephone movement
is a part of a general campaign the
club is conducting to promote
punctuality, efficiency and practi-
cality among women. They want to
put the hbosh on senseless and ex-
IRENE styles of dress; to keep their
engagements on the minute; to run
their households like clock-work;
and to devote themselves to their
husbands instead of their Cabling
telephone friends after $50 at
night.

BARBARA VISITS NEIL'S NEW
OFFICES.
CHAPTEX XXI

Neil often spoke of Blanche Orton's
money.
"a woman with as much dough as
she has, can help a man in many
ways" he had said when someone told
of how she had started her brother
on the road to fortune; and how it had
been her money that had furthered
many schemes of Orton's.
II wish I had money to bring you,
Nell never had thought of it be-
fore. That is, not until l heard him
speak of Mrs Orton's money.
I'll make money enough if people
will let me alone!" His answer had
| been gruff wish you had a little of
her pep. You might influence some of
these fools"
Il would do everything l could to
help, if you would let me-"
But you won't drink and make them
feel easy. You are too conventional
for the men l have to deal with"
1t was the first time he ever had
spoken so to me. l thought it an alb
surd idea that people, women, had to
be so unconventional to be of help to
their husbands.
You see, Bah. l am making money,
doing a good business. But want to
do more. 1t costs us like the devil to
live. l want to put over some really
big deals, get as many of the fat things
as can l hate piking. And there are
lots of fat things to be had, but man
doesn't get them by sitting in his Of
flee. You have to go after them. And
what gets one man, drives another

had been in Neil's office but few
| times. 1t had been a commonplace
office enough. But he had moved, and
l never had seen the new rooms. So
one day l thought l would surprise
him by dropping in upon him unex-
pectedly. He had just gone into bust
ness for himself.
1 was the surprised one. Neil was
out, but the offices were there-very
much there. Great, luxuriOusly fur
nished rooms, all oriental rugs and
cleaning mahogany. Not one or two,
but suite of half dozen rooms open
| ing into one another! One or two
men, evidently bOokkeepers, were
bending over their desks, and a cou-
pie of very pretty, but over-dressed
over coiflured blondes were also pre-
tending to work at their typeWriters,
but in reality were watching me as I
made by tour of inspection.
Did Mr.. Forbes leave any word as
to when he would returns? I asked
one of the girls.
"No-he may not come back today"
with a toss of the head
VERY well, then, l will leave no
message" Suddenly it struck me that
I would not tell who | was. l would
have a little joke with Neil about it

To The Editor of The Times-Recor-
der: would like to call attention to
the automobilists to the unscientific
way they have in Americas in operat-
ing their cars.
An expert automobilist never opens
his exhaust or runs his engine with
the exhaust open on a city street.
1t not only annoys all passers and
people living in the vicinity but is alb
solutely unnecessary and indicates the
driver has very poor car or does not
understand it's proper operation.

quite often little increase power
can be obtained by opening the ex-
haust, but it is not required and should
not be done on the level city streets.

hausts closed. Thanking you to call
attention to my fellow motorists to

PRINCE AND DUKE LOSE
ESTATES IN GERMANY
New Governments Are Sued for
Restoration or Reimbursement
in Waldeck, Pyrmont, Gotha.
By the Associated Press.

CASSEL. Germany, September 20
Two Germans. formerly of the nobility
who have been deprived by the new
regime Of the greater part of their e.
tates, have been obliged to sue the new
governments for restoration or reim-
bursement They are the Prince of
Waldeck and Pyrmont and the Duke of
Coburg -Gotha.
The former principality of waldeck
and Pyrmont is now governed by the
diet in Arolsen. where the prince owned
before the revolution two castles and a
vast domain Of forest. After vainly Of
fering to buy these from him, the diet
confiscated all the princes property,
promising to pay him what the courts
should determine to be a fair price.
BY one stroke of the pen the commits
sioners who now rule the new free stare
Of Gotha confiscated the property of the
Duke OF Coburg- Gotha, estimated to be
worth 5000, 900 marks, and this without
offer of remuneration. The commission
ers, who were Spartacists, took forcible
possession of the ducal buildings. es-
tates and bank accounts, and in twenty
four hours the duke was stripped OF
everything ne owned. The other por-
ton of the duchy. Coburg- Gotha, has
reached a financial agreement with the
duke.
Both prince and duke have sued the
new governments. In the case Of the
duke the court, which sits in Gotha, has
obtained legal ruling from government
attorneys that confiscation without re-
muneration is illegal. SO that the duke
is likely to recover his money or be paid
for his property. After all. life for
dukes, princes and other nobility in Ger
many today is unhappy.
