The notable audiences attracted to
the Shubert-Belasco all of last week
by the Washington Opera Company
shows beyond a doubt the belief the
entire population has in ultimately
building the splendid material now
in hand into a magnificent company
not excelled by any capital OF the
old world. Washington is today the
world. and yet she is without her
great galleries, conservatories and
opera houses, of which other coun-
tries boast. Great effort must be put
forth to place Washington on par
with the capitals of other republics,
even now seek the capital as win
ter residence would truly glory in
il they must give freely of their
money and their presence to achieve
the ultimate object.
Such a feast of music as Washington
had last week may be had each Lenten
season and at other times in the
year. There were not only diplomats
and society folk to applaud the ar
lists and encourage them each night
in the pretty little theater. but there
was Pershing night, when the gen.
erals box was draped with his own
and American flags. and the audience

Philadelphia 'Orchestra's last concert

give a concert at Polls tomorrow

HEAVY MEAT EATERS
HAVE SLOW KIDNEYS
Eat less meat if you feel Backachy OF
have bladder trouble-Take
glass of Salts

No man or woman who eats meat regu-
larly can make a mistake by flushing the
kidneys occasionally, says well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
excites the kidneys, they become over
worked from the strain, get sluggish and
fail to filter the waste and poisons from
the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in the
kidneys or your back hurts or if the
urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sedi-
ment, irregular of passage or attended by
a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat
and get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take q
tablespoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast and in a few days your kidneys
will 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 flush and stimulate
the kidneys, also to neutralize the acids
in urine so it no longer causes irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and caunot
injure; makes a delightful effervesCent
Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications.

BAPTISTS ASSAIL
EXTREME IN DRESS
WOMEN ARE URGED TO MODIFY
"SCANDALOUS" POSTWAR
CONDITIONS.

Observation-Disclosures wo-
men were urged to do all in their
power to modify extreme styles in
women's dress, which "have become
scarcely short of scandalous," in a
report submitted by the Rev. Dr.
Edward B. Pollard, of Crozier Semi
nary, yesterday at the 213th ami
versary of the Philadelphia Baptist
Association.
Speaking for the committee on
postwar conditions Doctor Pollard
scathingly criticized manners, Gus
toms and fashions which have follow
ed in the wake of the war.
Postwar conditions have disclos-
ed an alarming lack of restraint on
every hand" Doctor Pollard said
"War itself is an extra legal method
1t is not strange that it should al
ways be followed by breaking down
of moral control.
"Lawlessness of every sort tends
to shake the very foundations upon
which civilization rests. Murders
robberies, sex irregularities, reckless
gambling, scandalously high profits
individual and social vices of every
sort have run riot, and society seems
without power to stay their course
women we'll may lead the way
to high sex morality by giving more
careful thought to modes of dress
which, in parts of the world that fl
the fashions, have become scarcely
short of scandalous.'

ENORMOUS BELT
WEIGHS SIX TONS
IS BEING MANUFACTURED BY
THE GOODYEAR COMPANY
FOR COMMERCIAL USE.

When a girl wears a belt longer
than % inches or a man girds HIM
self with one stretching more than
40 inches they Immediately become
worried and begin to diet.
But the Goodyear Tire and Rubber
COMPANY is manufacturing two belts
10000 inches in length.
No. Genevieve, they are not for
human support-but are conveying
belts for the purpose of carrying ma
terials for long distances in CONNER
cial use.
Each belt will weigh tons when
completed. They will be 48 inches
wide and each will consist of seven
plies. If spliced they would stretch
more than 1000 feet, or nearly half
a mile
The fabric used in making these
belts, if laid in a straight line, of sim
gle ply 48 inches wide, would reach
for 14,700 feet, or more than two
and three-quarter miles.
If used as floor covering the fabric
used in manufacturing these two
would spread over $500 square
feet of space or approximately cover
five times the floor space in the larg-
est gymnasium in the country.
If the fabric necessary to make
the belts were used as a tent cover
ing it would house $4,000 people
standing side by side.
The weight of cover stock used IN
the two big conveyor belts weighs
about five and a half tons.

The Weather Is Worse
Than the Boil Wee0il

Popular opinion to the contrary,
the boil weevil must yield place to
the weather by a large margin as,
destructive factor in reducing the
production of cotton lint. Destruc-
ton by the boil weevil is appreciably
less than that by deficient moisture
alone, according to the bureau of
crop estimates of the United States
department of agriculture. It's con-
illusions are supported by annual in
vestigations made by the bureau dur
ing the last II years.
During this period the normal pro-
duction of lint was reduced 35.5 per
cent by all causes of damage. The
boil weevil, one of these, according
to the estimate, was responsible for
7.3 per cent, or about one-ffth of
the total damage to the cotton crop
for the IL years.
The onset of the weevil in Geor-
gia, Florida and Alabama in the
years 1916-1919 has made reduc-
ton of the crop in all states due to
this cause alone 1914 per cent below
normal crop, while the reduction
due to all causes in these years is
Ali per cent.

Of the 1876 farmers in the three
areas none made a labor income of

Four farmers made more than $500
labor income every year. Averaging
