.ASKSCITY TO PAY
FOR BROKEN ARM
Miss Braswell's Claim
Ordered Opposed,
By Council

City Attorney Lane presented to
the city council last night claim of
Miss Lillian Braswell, a stenogra-
pher, for an unnamed amount of
damages for fractured arm receiv-
ed few weeks ago when she trip
ped and fell on a steel trap door over
a water cutoff on the side walk in
front of the Americus Undertaking
Company's headquarters on North
jackson street Mr.. Lane said she
did not fix any amount, and appeared
to ask only a settlement on the basis
Of justice. He informed the council,
however, that he was sure Miss Bras
we'll had no claim against the CITY,
since the trap door over which she
fell was on private property, and
that whatever claim she might justly
have was against the property own
er. He recommended that the claim
be opposed and the council voted to
leave the matter in his hands.
Engineer AnsIey, for many years
mead OF the water department, who
inspected the scene of the accident
told the council that the trap door
was on private property jutting out
into the street. He said the door had
been there for 25 years, having been
installed by Harris and Payne,
plumbers, that long ago, and that
examination had proven it to be all
but impossible in walking over it to
cause it to rise and trip a pedestrian.
He said this was the first report of
an accident from it in the quarter
of century, and he did not believe
it could be properly called faulty
piece of work or one calling for the
payment of damages by the city.

How 500 Economists
Really Economic

CHICAGO, Jan. 16.-Five hun
dred of the most noted economists
in America were in Chicago recently
attending the American Economic
Association meeting. They repre-
sented the top layer of the economy
experts in practically all of the uni
sersities and colleges in the United
States.
Do economists economize?t
Exactly 312 of them ate breakfast
at a leading hotel.
They ate $1.15 worth of ham and
eggs apiece.
Exactly 4O2 ate lunch at the same
hotel.
They ate $3.50 worth of hors
d'oeuvres, etc. apiece.
Exactly sixty-four of them
"sneaked out" of the nights meet
ing and took taxis to leading musi-
cal comedy at $2,75 per economist.
The professors, however, looked
economical A composite picture of
the convention would show a man
wearing a dark suit of modest cut,
a pallid complexion, thick lensed eye
glasses, studious wrinkles around the
eyes, and a generally detached look.

# BACK HURTS
BEGIN ON SALTS
flush the Kidneys at once when Back
achy or Bladder bothers-Meat
forms uric acid

No man or woman who eats meat regl-
larly can make a mistake by flushing
the kidneys occasionally, says a we'll
known authority. Meat forms uric acid
which clogs the kidney pores so they
sluggshly filter or strain only part Of
the waste and poisons from the blood,
then you get sick Nearly all rheuma-
Cism, headaches, liver trouble, nervous
ness constipation, dizziness, sleeplessness,
bladder disorders come from sluggish kid
neys.
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, get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any reliable
pharmacy and take a tablespoonful il
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, COM
bined with lithia and has been used for
generations to flush clogged kidneys and
stimulate them to activity, also to neu-
tralize the acids in urine so it no longer
causes irritation, thus ending bladder dis
orders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes a delightful effer-
vescent lithia-water drink which all reg
ular meat eaters should take now and
then to keen the kidneys clean and the
blood pure. thereby avoiding serious kid

whom the King loved best. There

that Jerry the Jay was telling how

of Importance before he did any one

announcement
''The King orders all of the forest

DRINK HOT TEA
FOR A BAD COLD

Get a small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea at any pharmacy. Take a
tablespoonful of the tea, put cup of
boiling water upon it, pour through a
sieve and drink a teacup full at any
time during the day or before retiring.
1t is the most effective way to break a
cold and cure grip, as it opens the
pores of the skin, relieving congestion.
Also loosens the bowels, thus driving a
cold from the system.
Try it the next time you suffer from
a cold or the grip, 1t is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.
