DoUBLY FOOLISH,

INVEST VIRGINIA'S house Of delegates did a
w doubly foolish thing yesterday when it adopted,
by what amounted to party VOTE resolution declaring
against the United States ever becoming member Of
League Of Nations.
No statesman in any political party whose opinion car
re weight with the intelligent people Of the country and
important organ Of public opinion has taken such an
extreme stand The critics of the constitution Of the league
it was announced by President Wilson, whose views
are having the most influence in shaping public opinion
have all been at great pains to explain that they heartily
in favor Of some form Of International organization designed
10 abolish mitarsm and prevent war In going to the
length it did the house Of delegates ranged itself with those
who are influenced by mere uniformed prejudice.
In bringing the matter up at slch time and in such
place was inevitable that the house should divide upon
political lines and that in measure that would encourage
those who are seeking to make party question Of this most
important matter. Ii may result in creating situation
which next year will embarass the Republican party in
West Virginia, for every student of American politics
knows how dangerous ii is to make political issue Of an
international question: is conceivable that it may wreck
one or both Of the old parties but the politicians are going
10 find out before long that is impossible to make the
parties they exist line up for and against
this proposition.

A committee was appointed to. carry

Flush Your Kidpeys Occasionally if
You Eat Meat
Regularly.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally, says a
well-known authority. Meat forms uric
acid which clogs the kidney pores SO
they sluggishly filter or strain only
part of the waste and poisons from the
blood, then you get sick. Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, constipation, dizziness,
sleeplessness, bladder disorders come
from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache in
your kidneys or your back hurts, or
if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full
of sediment, irregular of passage or
attended by sensation of scalding, get
about four ounces of Jad Salts from
lany reliable pharmacy and take table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for few days and your kid
lneys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with ithia
land has been used for generations to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate
them to activity, also to neutralize the
acids in urine so it no longer causes
Irritation, thus ending bladder dis
orders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and canno'
linjure; makes a delightful effervescen
Whitewater drink which all regular
meat eaters should take now and theI

THE FLAG OF OUR COUNTRY
Henry Ward Beecher's Eloquent Trib-
ute to the Majesty Of the
Stars and Stripes.

A thoughtful mind, when 1t sees a
nations flag, sees not the flag only, but
the nation itself, and. whatever may
be its symbols, its insignia, 1t reads
chiefly In the flag the government, the
principles, the truths, the history
which belong to the nation that sets
1t forth.
This nation has banner, and wher-
ever 1t streamed abroad men saw day.
break bursting on their eyes, for the
American flag has been the symbol of
liberty, and men rejoiced In 1t. Not
another flag on the globe has such an
errand or went forth upon the sea car
rying everywhere the world around
such hope for the captive and such
glorious tidlngs. The stars upon 1t
were to the plning nations like the
morning stars of God. and the stripes
upon 1t were the beams of morning
light. And wherever the flag comes
and men behold It they see In its sa-
cred blazonry no rampant lion and
fierce eagle. but only light, and every
fold significant Of liberty.
Let us then twine each thread of the
glorious tissue Of our country's flag
about our heartstrings. and. looking
upon our homes and catching the spirit
that breathes upon US from the battle
fields Of our fathers. let US resolve.
come veal or woe, we will In life and
death stand by the Stars and Stripes.
