If Back Hurts
Begin on Salts
Flush Your Kidneys Occasionally
If You Eat Meat
Regularly.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by flush
ing the kineys 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 troubles, nervousness. constip2
ton, dizziness, sleeplessness, bladder
disorders come from sluggish kidneys
The moment you feel dull ache
in your kidneys or your back hurts, or
if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalding, get
about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any reliable pharmacy and take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water just
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 genera.
tions to flush clogged kidneys and
stimplate them to activity, also to neI-
tralize the acids in urine so it nu
longer causes irritation, thus ending
bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink, which all regular
meat eaters should take now and then
to keep the kidneys clean and the
blood pure, thereby avoiding serious

TREES
BY George Matthew Adams


| shall never get over loving trees.
| used to like to climb them. l like
to climb them yet!
There seems to. me to be every hui
man characteristic about trees-eXcept
that of animation. And yet in their
very silence, the trees seem to have
a language all their own.
They mother and father the birds
and small animals of the forest. They
shelter our bodies when we are caught
by the rain in their midst, and they
give to the beasts Of the field their
best companion.
And when they are grown great.
men come with axes and saws, and
the tree gives up it's life that homes
may be built. cities furnished-and
boats be made to float the seas and
make all nations as one.
Human happiness owes more to the
trees than to any other gift of Nature.
What character in a gnarled old
oak, And what majesty to the toweH.
ing redwood of the Pacific coast as
it climbs hundreds of feet toward the
sky! What a lot of pathos lin the
standing dead tree as it holds its arms
out into the air-perhaps with but a
single bird sharing its grief.
| always want to get out of a town
quickly which has but few trees.
Trees have always, brought happi
ness and cheer How gorgeous they
are at this Autumn time! Their myr
lad colors against the sun remind one
of the hidden beauty of the opal-eve1
changing before the face of the light
Trees keep giving without talking
about it.

and what the community did at home, will be
carried out in highly creditable manner
Curbing Blue Sky Activities

The arrest of a salesman on an indictment
returned by the grand jury for alleged irregu-
larities in the sale of stock in promotion ven-
ture here, proves that the authorities are awake
to the dangers which beset the community from
glib sellers of securities that have no tangible
assets behind them. a.-
The effective way to break up the activities
of these men is by prosecution-a method that
has been brought into use in the case of the man
charged with obtaining the signatures of a
Wayne county farmer to an instrument under
false pretense.
By the salesman's own admission to deputy
sheriff, he has had a checkered career in high
finance. He has operated on the theory that it is
easier to make money by shady transactions
than by straightforward and legitimate means.
His incarceration proves the folly of his own
theory, even if it has not succeeded yet in re-
storing to his victim the note, secured by mort
gage on his farm. In this case, the purchaser of
the worthless stock perhaps may regain his
money If he does, he will be one of the few
who have escaped.
Every we'll wisher of the community hopes
the present instance will be a warning to invest
ors to slam the door in the face of statesmen who
wish to dispose of unsound and highly specula-
tive securities. The market offers seasoned
sound and safe securities. Regularly established
agencies and banking concerns will make the
sales. The buyer need not fear that he will be
swindled, because the reputation of both the in
stitution and the salesman are behind the trans
action.
Why give attentive ear to the promises of
strangers, connected with speculative ventures
and bent on robbing you of your money? Why
disregard the advice of your banker, or Of the
representative of an established firm dealing in
securities? Disclosures in the present instance
ought to be convincing enough.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram., 1920-10-22
Backing the Armistice Day Celebration

The readiness with. which the community
subscribed $4,000 to defray the cost of the
Armistce Day celebration should silence the
cfiesthat civic spirit is dead in Richmond.
The present response is only illustrative of
spirit that has characterized this community for
generations back. Given any task to perform,
and it's citizenship has executed it in praise
worthy manner.
The war record of the city and county is one
of the best in Indiana. It's Red Cross activities
belle any insnuation that the community is deaf
to appeals for manifestation of its love for the
stricken and needy.
Richmond is not a city to be stampeded into
hysterical action. 1t takes it's time to study
a problem and to apply a method of solution.
Because it does it's work with efficient calmness,
it accon1plishes its aims with effectiveness.
The Armistice Day subscriptions are potent
proof Of the observation. The work was done
without resorting to flamboyant and noisy DEM
onstration. Thoroughly in accord with the prin-
ciples Of the celebration, the citizens responded
nobly.
The consummation of this civic spirit of
which Richmond has been proud for many gen
erations and which has been the envy of many
of our neighbors, will be seen on Armistice Day.
Few cities in Indiana have seized the oppor-
tunity of celebrating this day in the patriotic
manner outlined here Richmond will be in a
class by itself. The suggestion for celebration
made many weeks ago by the Central Labor
Council which also proposed the underlying idea
of representing what the men did in the service

all a joke, and leave the courtroom
brightly, and make their autos smoke.
Through highways residential, through
traffic's busy marts, with ardor pesti-
lential they run their deadly carts
They wing the fleeing baker, they
main the frightened clerk, and now
the undertaken gets in his grewsome
work. The doctors nerves are busted
so many victims yelp, the coroner S
disgusted, and wildly calls for help
And still the crazy motors go rushing
through the town, and slay the adult
voters, and NOW the children, down
And when l stand protesting the speed

questing for some one they can climb

THE SPEED FIENDS

In vain l stand protesting to speed
fiends as they pass; they seem to
think I'm jesting, and give their boats
more gas. The coroner is busy, he's
checking up the dead, run down, by
truck or lizzie or auto painted red.
The coroner is weary, he tolls by day
and night; his task is sad and dreary,
and there's no end in sight. The Will
age cops are chasing the fiends DER
hill and dale, and after bitter racing
they put few in Jail. And then
they're fined so lightly they think it

Answers to Questions

Subscriber-Was there a real man
who answered to the name of Dead
wood Dick?
"Deadwood Dick" was a nickname
given to Robert Dickey (840-1912).
whose actual adventures formed the
basis of many dime novels, which
filled the imaginations of callow youth
in 1S60-1880. He was a scout under
General George Crook in the days
when the red man of the plains was
making his last stand against the
white man. He served under General
Alfred Terry during a part of that
commanders campaigns in the foot
hills of the Rocky Mountains. He be-
came successfully an Indian agent, a
United States marshal, trapper, and
fur merchant He made a fortune,
lost it, and died poor. He was one of
the galaxy of heroes that include Kit
Carson. Buffalo Bill, Bat Masterson
and others of the noted gun lighters
who passed with the red man, the COW
puncher and the buffalo.
J. H. R.-Please tell me why the
Panhandle State is so called?-Wes!
Virginia is sometimes called the Pan
handle State, because the northwest
ern part is only strip, bordered on
the west by the Ohio river. This sec
ton of the state is likened to pan
handle.

Gave 1t to His S.
Little Daughter
MIR. Baker got great relief
himself from the root and
herb remedy, Dreco, so
gave it to her, and now she
is full of life; romps and
plays.

Il got SO much good from taking
Dreco that l put my little five-year-old
girl to taking it and there is a big diff
ference in her now," said Mr.. Willis
Baker, the we'll known contractor of
1918 East Marklin ST, Kokomo, Ind.
Il had never been able to get ria
of constipation, pains in my back, in,
digestion, gas in my stomach and
heartburn, till 1 tried this medicine
Dreco and I believe the first dose did
me good. Dreco also worked my liver
off, thereby relieving those awful dizzy
spells and cleared off my tongue
Il had catarrh which kept me hawk
ing all the time and clearing my
throat. Dreco overcame this for me,
and | started my little girl taking it
and there is a big improvement in
her. The color has returned to her
cheeks, she romps and plays, has a
good appetite and the catarrh is all
gone. l am strong believer in Dire
CO."
Dreco acts on the liver in a smooth,
gentle manner, gradually working off
the excess bile day by day. 1t is not
strong or harsh and does not excite
the muscles as strong cathartics do
1t tones up the digestive organs and
relieves gas on the stomach, puts an
end to constipation, increases the ap-
petite, gives strength to weak kid
neys, restores sound sleep and tired
nerves. Dreco is a great blood puri-
fier and system cleanser.
All druggists now sell Dreco and it
is being especially introduced in Rich
mond by Clem Thistlethwaites seven

Panama Canal Tolls

The whole case with respect to the
question Of granting to American
ships free passage through the PAN
anna Canal Is contained In the fol-
lowing provision Of treaty to which
tho United States is q party:
"The canal shall be free and open
to the vessels Of commerce and of
war Of all nations observing these
rules, on terms of entire equality, so
that thers shall be no discrimination
sgsinot any such nation or Its citi-
zens or subjects In respect Of the
conditions or charges Of traffic or
otherwise. Such conditions and
charges OF traffic shall be just and
equitable"
This treaty provision, the supreme
law Of the land, was part of a gen.
eral bargain, and thus is not revoca-
bic except this country at the same
time gives up what it gained in re-
turn. Does it permit US to give free
passage to all our ships while COL
lecting tolls from the ships CT other
nations?
