any LOST FORTUNE
TRYING TO GET RICH
Hundreds Caught Under Stock Mar
kst LaadsIlds But Those Who
Invested in Government es.
curltIes Are Safe.

Whether or not many persons from
this section were caught" In the re-
cent slump OF the New York niarks;
probably will never be known. and
there is no way of estimating the
amount of money lost. But 1t Is den
nitely known that many men and per.
haps a number Of women were badly
"stung" and that their losses ran far
into the millions Of dollars.
It goes without saying, OF COURSE
that their losses came from the mar
ket collapse of certain securities o.
because they were unable to weathe,
the storm when stocks, which they hae
bought on margin, suddenly depre'
ciated. IN other words, much OF the
loss was because men and women
lured by the promise Of great profits
matched their wits with the, old war
horses Of the speculation game, an6
As a result many little fortunes were
utterly wiped out.
Many business men realized some
time ago that certain market quota
tions in Wall Street were abnornial--
Of course all of them realised the
risk of speculating on vague promises
of proft-and warning after warning
WAS issued to the men and women Of
moderate means not to eldangs: their
money in any get-rich-quick schsms
which might be offered.
Those persons who invested thsT
savings In such standard securities aa
Liberty Bonds and Victory Notes, or
Treasury Savings Certificates or Var
Savings Stamps intending to hold to
maturity, were not caught In the land
slide, for government securities are
always redeemed at full face value
upon maturity. They provide tao best
protection in the world and the man
or woman whose investments ara
represented by such securities-and
who holds these securities-is always
absolutely safe regardless OF anything
that may happen in the speculative
stock markets of the country.
or course the immediate market
value of Liberty Bonds and Victory
Notes fiuctuates, but holders OF these
securities may rest absolutely easy
because the changes in the market
prices Of these government securities
arc far less than IN other bonAS and
their intrinsic worth with the Govern
mont back Of them demands that on
maturity they will be paid for at Just
exactly one hundred cents on the dol

EAT LESS MEAT
f BACK HURTS
Take q glass Of Salts to flush Kidneys
if Bladder bothers you-Drink
lots of water.

Eating meat regularly eventually pro-
duces kidney trouble in some form OF
other, says a well-known authority, be-
cause the uric acid in meat excites the
kidneys, they become overworked; get
sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts OF
distress, particularly backache and mis-
cry in the kidney region; rheumatic twin
ges, severe headaches, acid stomach, con-
.stipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness,
'bladder and urinary irritation.
The moment yonr back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bpthers you, get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy
take a tablespoonful in a glass of water
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 use' for generations to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them
to normal activity; also to neutralize the
acids in the urine so it no longer irri-
tates, thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent ithia.
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then to keep the
kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus
avoiding serious kidney disease.

COUNCIL TO DECIDE
DISARMAMENT PLAN

Washington, May Necessity of
deciding whether disarmament pro-
ceedings of the league of nations are
to be conducted by military men
directly or by civilians with the mill
tary officials of each member nation
as technical advisers will face the
council of the league when it as
sembles this month at Rome.
Appointment Of the permanent arm
ment commission to advise the coun-
Gil, which is to be taken up at Rome,
must be preceded, in. the view of
league officials, by announcement of
policy on this point.
The council will also nave before
it at Rome the proposals of the
league to abolish war, which played a
part in the last British elections.
This program includes proposed
amendments of the covenant of the
league in order to secure immediate
establishment of an international
police force, under authority Of the
league and by expansion of Article
8, or otherwise, after the creation of
the international force, to require
disarmanet of all nations except

ternal order.

associations, but the omission of the
word "not" renders the law of no
effect. As passed the act reads:
Error Nullifies
"That the law with reference to
the insurance of public buildings
within the state shall remain as now
provided by law, except as hereinaf-
ter provided, to wit: The trustees OF
any school district may insure school
buildings located within incorporated
cities and towns in any mutual in
surance company or association do
ing business under the laws of the
state"
As mutual insurance companies do
not insure in cities and towns, the
law remains as heretofore, and pub
lie schools will be insured under the
sinking fund commission.
The acts relative to fees collected
by county officers was bitterly fought
at the close of the session of 1919,
and against last session. 1t was finally
amended so as to not require the
county officers to file a copy of the
itemized report of all fees collected
unless called upon to do so at the
end of the fiscal year by the senator
from the county or majority OF
the county delegation.
Then penalty for violation shall
be fine of not less than $50 nor
more than 5000, or Imprisonment in
the county Jail not less than two
months nor more than six months, or
both in the discretion of the court.
Requirements as to filing an itemi-
zed statement of fees and costs COL
lected by each officer reads:
I Requirements of Law
each county officer shall be re-
quired to purchase and keep in his
office, open to public inspection dur
ing office hours, a book in which shall
be kept an itemized account Of all
money received by him or due him,
whether received by him or due him
as salary, fees or costs, or in any
other manner as paid to him for his
services by virtue of his office; pro-
vided that nothing herein contained
shall be construed to require any Of
ficer to demand the payment of his
fees and costs in advance. At the
close of each fiscal year when so re-
quired by the senator from such
county or a majority of the members

 The guests were greeted by the hostess, who is an authoress and play wright, and her collaborators, who were Mrs. Blanche Shoemaker Wag- staff, poetess and critic; Miss Dana Gatlin, poetess; Carolyn Wells, novel ist and poetess; Margaret Widdemar, poetess, and Grace G. Drayton. The latter has won acclaim as a painter and illustrator and is Known to large public as the originator of the Camp bell Kids. In private life she is Mrs. w. Hayward Drayton, 3d. of S30 Park avenue.
 Between the courses Mrs. Drayton made cartoons of the debutantes. This led to other and more pointed bits of originality in an informal skit called Tester Year in which the debutante guests were called upon to sing to the tune of Tn the Good Old Summer Time verses composed by the conspirators of the expense of their social set.
 Margaret Widdemar led the way as Mrs. Grundy' with the following; When I was girl the frocks we wore
 were so sedate and nice; We never went unchaperoned, we knew

UNIQUE DEBUTANTE PARTY

Among the novel debutante parties given in New York this season none has been more original or unique than that which lovely Mrs. Lewis B. Wood ruff (Helen Smith) gave at her home in Sixty-eght street, east. in comph- ment to Miss Elizabeth Wolcott Mer- chant a cousin of MT. Woodruffs.
 Mrs. Woodruff, whose clever pen and rare beauty have been the subjects of admiration both in her former home in Alabama and her present home in New York city, was the author of the unique verses which satirised society as represented by the modern de- butante, and in referring to the party the New York Herald of Sunday, De- cennber 12, said:
 At Mrs. Lewis B. Woodruffs lunch con an interesting comm ent tary upon the novel incident in society was the amused candor with which the young women guests, just out of finishing school, acknowledged the shafts of sharply pointed doggerel aimed at them by the hostess and six feminine conspirators, all authoresses who have won public notice with their published verses.
 Tho other guests at this social , satire. which the hostess called a cafe chantan& luncheon, were the Misses Suzanne V. du Vivier, Katherine E. Morris. Molly Van R. Cogswell. Eliza s. Parish, Eleanor Towne Kathleen Crawford, Virginia Fox, Georgiana L.

FRITZ KREISLER'S CHARM

"Mephisto," whose delightful writ I.gs in Musical America" are read the world over with great interest has asked the question in regard to Fritz Kreisler, the renowned violinist who will play in concert here on Wed resday evening, January 5, presented by the "All-Star Concerts the third of the attractions of this seasons con certs:
 What is the charm of Kreisler?- who may be said, indeed, to stand ab solutely in a class by himself"
 Some would tell you it is his won derful power as a musician. Others his extraordinary dexterity with the bow. Others will tell you that it is the exquisite taste and musicianly feel ing which he exhibits when he plays
 For my part. I think one of the great reasons of his tremendous and we'll deserved popularity is that he never under any circums tances what ever forces his instrument for the sake of some effect. He keeps it ab- solutely within it's legitimate scope, with the result that he develops tone of surpassing beauty, and of almost lncanny musical sweetness and qual ty. How many players are there of whom this can be said?-that they | never force the instrument, whether I it be piano. violin, a cello or ever i the human voice, for the sake of mak l ing a momentary effect upon "th' ] groundlings." Indeed, but few"
 That, to me, is one of Kreisler'! i greatest charms-that he does not at
 tempt to produce a cello tone iron | tba ,yin inc a Sin 1 the voice so as to produce an astonish ! ing volume of tone which present.,
