A VOICE oF SANITY.

The American people are indebted to
Herbert Hoover for his clear and cour.
ageous statement of what America
should do for Europe Almost every
day metropolitan papers are publish
ing statements by European propa gan
distS of the necessity of more aid from
America that their people may be
saved from starvation and horrible
suffering. Evidently these agitators of
charity are obsessed with the idea that
America must continue to feed the
world
Mr.. Hoover punctures their bubbles
of suffering by stating that about one
fifth only Of the people of Europe ac-
tually need aid from America and their
need is only for bread and some milk
The latter is being furnished by char
ity and the bread question, he says,
could be met if the grain corporation
Of this country would sell about l.
per cent of its surplus wheat and flour
to these needy European cities on
credit. He also believes it will be
necessary for this country to fund the
interest on foreign loans for this year
but these countries must be made to
understand this country is nearing the
time when it must cease to carry the
economic burden of Europe except
through ordinary business processes set
up under proper security.
Especially forceful is Mr. Hoover 5
statement that many people of Europe
arc not at work. AS an instance he
says their coal production is less than
20 per cent and their economic de-
morahzation is in great degree due
TO this fact. European people alone
can bring coal production up to nor,
NAL and America should not feed and
encourage them in their idleness and
pauperism. Mr.. Hoover closes his
statement as follows:
We withdrew from Europe at last
/ harvest precisely for this reason: that
| Europe had 10 be impressed with the
necessity to get back to work and ordi

needs to get away from the notion OF
governmental help. both internally anc
externally and get back to work ani

Americans will do more to restor,
the world to normal conditions by Civ

ropeans than it ever can by feeding
and coddling people in idleness ant

MEAT CAUSE OF
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take glass of Salts if your Back
hurts or Bladder bothers-
Meat forms uric acid.

If you must have your meat every
day, eat it, but flush your kidneys with
salts occasionally, says n noted author
ity, who tells US that meat forms uric
acid which almost paralyzes the kid
neys in their effort TO expel it from
the blood. They become sluggish and
weaken, then you suffer with dull mis-
cry in the kidney 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 Jad Salts from any pharmacy here;
! take a tablespoonful i'll 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 used for genera
tions to flush and stimulate sluggish
kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in
urine, so it no longer irritates, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure, and makes a delightful efferyeS-
cent Whitewater drink.-Advt.

as it has been on many other states

of red and radical tendencies it was
noted in some cities that they were
mostly prosperous looking young men,
some with bank books and large rolls
of bills, several wearing expensive
looking fur coats. Yet the literature
they feed on tells them that the So
called capitalistic class is forcing them
into a state bordering on starvation.

Publication in The Reformer during
the past week Of the evidence against
the Thompson fund trustees, as shown
III the recently filed bill of particulars
in the pending suit, has caused wide
spread local comment. The gist of this
comment IS expressed something like
this: why, I knew in general that
there had been complaint about the
way the fund had been administered
locally but l had no idea that specific
evidence showing such a shameful state
of affairs could be obtained = There
is no doubt that Brattleboro people
feel that pretty strong ease has been
built up against the policy followed
by the trustees in refusing direct aid
to apparent benefeiaries. More din
cult to obtain, possibly, but none the
less effective would be an array of
evidence in support of an allegation
that the trustees not only have failed
to give aid where it should have been
given but have actually paid money to
local persons who had no right to be
considered beneficiaries under the
terms of the viii The Meddler does
not mean by this to insinuatc that the
trustees have deliberately misspent the
funds income in this manner. but
there is no reason for thinking that
