LETTISH VETS RETURN;
FIND FOOD SCARCE
(By Associated Press)

RIGA, Latvia, Dec. 10. Lettish
troops which fought with the Czecho-
Slovaks in Siberia have recently re-
turned to Riga from Vladivostok and
have been received with great patrio-
tic demonstration. Under the treaty
with Moscow about 100000 Let's are
to be released from Bolshevik terri
tory and returned to their homeland.
This influx of population is increasing
the problems of the little country.
Glad as Latvia is to see its sons re-
turn, their presence places heavier
burden on the food supply. and there
is little employment to offer them.
The skilled workmen of Lettish blood
who have been working in soviet fac
tories refuse to remain in Russia be-
cause of enforced labor and made
quate food.
1t is estimated by the Lettish for
eign office that more than 100000
Lettish citizens are in America. They
are chiefly in the manufa curing CEN
tiers, such as Detroit, Chicago, Pitts
burgh and the New England indus
trial towns, especially the shoe towns.

HISTORICAL Inn SIGNS
ARE CHANGED BY USE
(LOndon AnsWers)


There doesn't seem any connection
between the bag O. Nails" and "Bac-
chanals," but there is! This is how it
came about: An inn keeper put the
sign of the "Bacchanals" over his door
but his customers, not understanding
it, pronounced it like Bag O. Nails
so it means practically the same thing
as the Jolly Topers."
THE Goat and Compasses" was
once the God Encompasses" An
other of a similar nature is the Pig
and Whistle" II is very old, being
derived from the Anglo-Saxon phrase
"Piga Wassail," or Hall Virgin!" The
Lamb and Flag" is also religious in
origin, but it retains it's form unalter-
ed. The Swan With Two Necks"
ought to be the Swan With Two
Nicks," for its beak was marked with
two cuts, or hicks, to show who owned
it,
Some inn signs are historical. The
Bull and Mouth" for example. is the
Boulogne Mouth" from a sea fight
which occurred outside of the harbor.
So is the Cat and Fiddle" 1t should
be the "Caton fidele," or faithful
Cation" after a governor of Calais.
Others are distinctly humorous. The
Good Woman" has no head, while
trying to wash black boy white is the
Labor in Vain
Signboards have often been painted
by famous artists, including Holbien,
Hogarth and Millais, some of whose
are still extant. In the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries the signs of tav-
erns were often very elaborate, that

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 10
Women's organizations throughout
Indiana as we'll as thousands of indi-
viduals, including quite a few men,
have been bombarding Indiana mem
bers of congress with letters and tele-
grams ever since congress reconvened
last week urging their support of the
SheppardTowner bill for the protec-
ton of maternity and infancy. In
cluded among those who are taking
an active interest in this measure are
many Wayne county. Indiana women
and women's organizations.
Practically all the important nation
al women's organizations are behind
the Sheppard Towner bill and they
are maintaining in Washington a par
ticularly active force of workers who
are making it quite plain to members
Of congress that the American women
are demanding adequate protection for
American mothers and American
babies. One of the leaders in the
movement is Miss Jeanette Rankin,
the first woman elected to congress.
Provides for Instruction.
The Sheppard-Toner bill provides
for instruction in the hygiene of ma
ternity and infancy and the household
arts essential to the well-being of
mother and child; it provides for con-
sultation centers and medical and
nursing care for mothers and their
babies, at home or at hospital

would be represented. The executive

The bill proposes a federal ap-
preparation of 100000 the first year,
this sum to be annually increased I'M
ill it reaches s4,000000 annually The
federal appropriation would be appor-
toned among the various states in
the proportion which their population
bears to the total population of the
United Suites, providing each state
appropriates like sum

In addition the bill proposes to ap-
propriate S4S0,000 annually to be
divided equally among the states with
out guarantee of like sum- The bill
would permit each state to carry out
its own approved plan for the protec-
ton of maternity and infancy without
federal interference, and the act does
not propose that the federal govern
ment shall embark upon medical or
surgical campaign, but rather to
stimulate and guide and make ac-
cessible instruction and care to moth
ers and care of infants. and without
making such service compulsory.
A report an Indiana congressman
has received from the Children's Blu
reau shows that the United States has
been recklessly wasting the lives of
American mothers and babies. The
report shows that it is safer to be a
mother in fourteen important foreign
countries than in the United States.
and that babies have a better chance
in seven foreign countries than in the

AMSK, SEAT OF
 RED GOVERNMENT

Lonon, Oct. 2O.-Omsk, Siberia.
 formerly the anti-bolshevik head
 quarters of the late Admiral Kolchak,
 has been transformed into a bolshe-
 vist headquarters, seat of the soviet
 government for all Siberia, chiefly by
 the use of red bunting, red paint and
 red propaganda posters and pamph-
 lets printed in Moscow and sent to
 Siberia.
 New street signs, featuring bolshe-
 vik nomenclature; new heroic street
 arches and monuments constructed of
 wood and painted red are other
 Press correspondent who recently crossed Russia.
 Behind the scenes, Omsk is the
 same city of suffering refugees, scant food and clothing and difficult living
 conditions in general. according to Russians who talked to the Associat- ed Press correspondent and his com- panion, the first Americans to enter OmSk after Admiral kolchak'S hur- ried evacuation. There has been little relief in an economic way for the peo- pie, there being as much dissatisfac- tion under the reds as there was un- der Kolchak.
 Gone from Omsk are the vari- colored uniforms of Allied missions from Paris, London and Tokio and
 forgotten is the Omsk express, the weekly train to VladivoStok. The former are replaced by envoys and
 missions out from Moscow, usually for food or any supplies that may be obtained for shipment to the bolshe- vik capital American Red Cross nurses and Y. M. c. A. men have been l replaced by bolshevik workers who | wear the red insignia on their caps. Military opposition to the soviets | having been overcome, attention has | been turned to constructive work. Attempts are being made to colve the | ever-present food shortage by vege- table gardens in public parks and even in several streets. The entire grounds of the one cathedral were given over to potato growing during | the summer.
 At the head of Lenine street, at | the top of the hill in the main part l of the city, an heroic wooden arch painted red, carried the likenesses of Lenine, and Karl Marx, the German communist whose philosophy is taken literally by the bolsheviki. At the | other end of the street is a great red wooden column, erected to the mem ory of the bolsheviki killed in the | fighting near Omsk-
 Bo1sheviki headquarters have been l established in the new building which | Admiral Kolchak had planned to use | to house his ministry of justice. A red banner bearing the inscription | First Home of the Siberian Soviet, | marks the building. In front of it is ! a huge granite block, formerly the | pedestal of a statue of a notable of | the reign of Emperor Nicholas. Now | it awaits a new bust of Karl Marx. The chief bolshevik commissar for l Siberia, Tavarish Smirnoff, lives in ] one of the buildings formerly used l as an American Red Cross hospital | It is a part of an agricultural college l three miles north of the city.

MEAT CAUSE OF
 KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take Salts to flush Kidneys .. if Back hurts or Blad-
 der bothers

If you must have your meat every day, eat 1t, but flush your kidneys with salts occasionally, says noted authority who tells us that meat forms uric acid which almost para lyzes the kidneys in their efforts to expel 1t from the blood. They be- come sluggish and weaken, then you suffer with a dull misery in the kid ney region. sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the channels often get sore and irritated, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. -
 To neutralize these irritating acids, to cleanse the kidneys and flush off the body's urinous waste get four ounces of lad Salts from any phar- macy here; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a 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, hA has been used for generations to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine, so it no longer irritates, thus ending blad- der weakness.

Number Twelve.

The use of the X-Ray in Dentistry is of value in determining with ac- curacy many tooth conditions, and has been found especially valuable in the examination of childrens' teeth during the secondary dentition. Such examinations are decidedly valuable in determining the relative location or the secondary or permanent teeth, and where the X-Ray print shows "hese teeth to be out of alignment or not in proper position it enables us to so treat them that they will grow out" right and thus properly and eff ficiently perform their functions of mastication when matured. We are prepared to take X-Ray pictures when deemed necessary. This is just one of the many modern methods we employ in our system of dependable dentistry. It is our rule to promptly adopt and give to our patients the benefits of all progressive ideas in dentistry and as d result our many satisfied patients will tell you that you cannot obtain better work any where at any price. Come to us at any time for free mouth examination. For needed work our fees are always reasonable.
