The news scimitar. (Memphis, Tenn.) 1907-1926, 1920-03-19

Dear K. C. B.-I like my freedom, I
like my liquor and like my women
wild. They took away my liquor and
made root beer, and there was no
kick in 1t. Then made more and put
two raisins in each bottle. / opened
one bottle at the table and everybody
got a bath but father. Then he opened
one and he got his, and then he said
the darn stuff was dangerous. Then
bottle on the windowsill blew up,
but there was nobody near it, and it
broke the window. Then father said
we'd have to empty them, and l took
them into the cellar and put them in
water like read the police do in open
ing bombs They made noise and
blew out the raisins and the dog ran
behind the furnace.
Then l remember reading about the
power OF an atom, and I'll tell the
world and half of Texas that a raisin
is no SLOUGH. And l want to know
since they've taken away liquor will
women grow tame, and If they do and
are fed on raisins. will they become wild
again, and what's the answer? thank
you. ANTHONY BURGER.

leaving that party In 1917 in common
with the majority of its American born
members, when the st. Louis convention
in April of that year committed the or
ganization to pro-German program in
attempting to hamper the government
in the conduct of the war. In all my
10 years association with these radical
organizations never knew a single
taxer or a Socialist of standing before
1917 to have the temerlty to advocate
taking from individuals and from cor
porations by any means whatsoever
anything like the immense sums which
are now being taken by action of con-
gress from the organizers and owners of
American industry. Yours very truly,

Unknown Depths.
Hartford Times.)

1t will be a disappointment to the
party at large and opposed to every
tradition of the party if any Republi-
can states delay the grant of the bal
lot to women. The eyes of Republi-
cans are upon the governors and legis-
latures of Vermont, Connecticut and
Delaware. These states should not
only furnish the two states necessary
to ratification. They should all ratify,
and without delay. The decisions of
these men now assume national i'm
portance. We cannot believe that they
will consent to stand as obstruction
lists to a great and wise reform upon
which their party and their country
are Enthusiastically and overwhelmingly
after prolonged debate, resolved.-New
York Tribune.
The Tribune recks not the standpat-
ism and determination of the governor
of Connecticut. 1t does not know the
depths of stubbornness to which a Yer
mont governor can sink. If it did, il
| would not look to these Republican ex
ecutives for the granting of the ballot
to the women at this time There is
no hope here for the women.

Draft Dodgers.
(Burlin gton News.)

The trial of very wealthy young
resident of Philadelphia on the charge
of evading the draft brings to mind
The fact that 10000 such eases have
been found and leads US to wonder as
Ito the attitude of the government in
the matter. There has been some very
harsh criticism on the attitude of the
government in the matter of consci-
entious directors and the American Le-
gion has been moved to cry out in pro-
test against the leniency shown these
men. Whether draft dodgers are going
to be decorated for their agility in
keeping out of the service or whether
they are going to receive the punish
ment due them is a matter of very gen
eral interest.

A SOUND PLATFORM.

Frederick II. Babbitt s gubernatorial
platform is Just about the kind of a
platform one would expect from a man
of his experience in business and legis-
lative affairs. 1t contains no extrava-
CANT promises or impractical theories
but shows beyond a doubt that Mr.
Rabbit has definite ideas as to the
needs of Vermont and firm convictions |
as to how they should be met. BY way
of Introduction he says that it repre- !
sents his ''honest, earnest judgment -
and no one who reads it carefully can
doubt the truth of this assertion
Naturally, he declares for an admin
istration conducted on business princi-
pies, but in espousing the popular econ
way as to leave him free to advocate
appropriations and expenditures econ
sistent with program of progress.
| He believes that agricultural and in
dustrial development are essential to
each other and should 60 hand in hand
and is evidently convinced that Yer
mont S industrial possibilities were new
or SO great as they are today.
On the subject of roads he comes out
squarely for an extension of the pres
cnt patrol system but recognizes that
the trunkline highways are not the
only lines of importance in Vermont.
lie believes the small towns should be
relieved of the expense of maintaining
these trunk lines so that they may
spend their share of state highway
funds in the upkeep and improvement
Of the so-called town roads.
Mr.. Rabbit is not only in favor of
Il "square deal for labor" like one of
his competitors, but is for square deal
fer everybody without distinction In
cidentally he believes that an enlarge
ment of the scope of the state board of
arbitration would prove helpful in the
amicable adjustment of disputes be-
tween employer and employee.
The small town problem, he believes
could be solved by some plan by~which
| the state would conduct the schools and
maintain the highways of towns unable
to meet these functions, but he would
| not deprive these towns of representa-
! ton. He is for higher salaries fol
| teachers, liberal tax laws with view tc
| encouraging the investment of capita
J in the state, full recognition of world
: war veterans and the elimination OF
4 such state commissions as have shown
| themselves to be useless.
On the much agitated prohibition ques
ton which in fact has ceased to be al
issue so far as the governorship is con
cerned-Mr. Babbitt comes out square
" for recognition of the fact that con
stitutonal prohibition exists and mus
be enforced, but at the same time h
recognizes the widespread belief tina
the Volstead enforcement act is to
severe in many of its interpretations
II Mr.. Babbitt, we believe wisely, ha
( refrained from any attempt to discus
= state issues in detail or touch upon ey
cry matter that is likely to come t
public attention during the course Q
the campaign. He has been content t
outline briefly his views on such issue
. as he considers most important, and W
II believe those views will generally b
ii considered sound.

KEEP URIC ACID
OUT OF JOINTS
Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to Eat Less
Meat and Take Salts.

Meat and Take Salts.
Rheumatism is easier to avoid than
to cure, states a well-known authority.
we are advised TO dress warmly; keep
the feet dry; avoid exposure; eat less
meat, but drink plenty of good water.
Rheumatism is direct result of
eating too much meat and other rich
foods that produce uric acid which is
absorbed into the blood. 1t is the
function of the kidneys to filter this
acid from the blood and cast it out in
the urine; the pores of the skin are
also a means of freeing the blood of
this impurity In damp and chilly
cold weather the skin pores are closed,
thus forcing the kidneys to do double
work, they becoming weak and sluggish
and fail to eliminate the uric acid
which keeps accommodating and circulat-
ing through the system, eventually set
Ting in the joints and muscles, causing
stiffness, soreness and pain called rheu-
matism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoon
full in glass of water and drink before
breakfast each morning for a week.
This is said TO eliminate uric acid by
stimulating the kidneys to normal
action, thus Kidding the blood of these
impurities.
| Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia
land is used with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject tC
rheumatism. Here you have a pleasant
effervescent lithia-water drink which
helps overcome uric acid and is bene
fetal to your kidneys as well.
