"Thar's sense in that" murmered Miss Judy,
as she thoughtfully chewed a bit Of ginger.
In the afternoon Mn BARLEY sat on the porch
awaiting the appearance Of Mr.. Cobb with
gig. Miss Judy sat beside him, knitting and,
after once or twice hitching her chair nearer
him, she spoke, in a low and deliberate tone:

For an instance there was silence.
A sort of palid qualm passed over Mr.. Bart
leys countenance, and then with an effort he
replied.
"You are very kind, Miss Pace. but--ah -

Oden is one of the best little towns IN the

Unpretentious and unfinished, Olden makes
no claims to metropolitan distinction, but 1t does

No social lines prevail in Olden and YOU are

Strangers are moving into the town at all times

abiding and pay their just debts. Olden has no

two men. That is, gossip might have put It
that way. But you can't get the people IN
Oden to believe it. The Ford brothers are the
popular fellows of the town. When anything
for the good of the town is proposed you may
know that they are behind it. They handle
the townste for the town and are doing about
two thirds Of the construction work that is
being done in the new part of town. The Olden
post office is a fourth class office, operating on
a second class office expense pay roll ana ford
brothers are paying the biggest part of the
extra expense.
This post office did more than seven thou
sand dollars worth of money order business last
month.
Another man who came into Oden and made
money is A. Nix, formerly of Coppell, Dallas

BOTH TENDER RESERVATIONS.

This attitude of the governing body,
as expressed in the resolutions, was not
satisfactory to either of the parties con-
cerned, who each offered to resign so that
the other might remain, considering it
impossible to again work harmonlously
together.
Principal Wooten's original grievance,
it seems. had been aggravated by the
publication in the Wilmington Advocate
OF articles concerning the case for which
he considered Mrs Nelson, whose name
appears as one of the editors, responsible.
Mrs. Nelson would not dsavow this
responsibility until she had consulted
with her associate editor.
In view of the situation thus disclosed,
leave of absence until the next meeting
OF the board was granted 10 each of the
contestants, who had both been summoned
moned by that body after it had wrestled
with the subject for two hours or more.
For Mrs. Nelson, Judge Daniel y.
Hastings, her counsel, who was present,
made the legal point that the dismissal of
. teacher without a trial was not In ac-
coriance with the charter, and respon-
sibility for any untruthful publicity should
be brought out at separate trial from one
involving discipline Superintendent
Clifford ]. Scott said that it was his idea
that the dismissal of either of the teachers
was not under present consideration.
Mrs. Nelson, it is claimed, took day
off from her duties, iourneying to Marion,
Ohio, TO attend Harding meeting, and
Principal Wooten suspended her therefor.
MISS KRUsE IN CHARGE.
In the meantime Miss Edwina b. Kruse
for many years principal Of the school,
again has charge there temporarily.
The board may hold special meeting
TO dispose of the matter.

BIG EATERS GET
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take Salts at First Sign Of Bladder
Irritation or Back
ache.

The American men and women must
guard constantly against kidn ey trouble.
because we eat too much and all our food
Is rich. Our blood is filled with uric acid
which the kidneys strive to filter out
They weaken from overWork, become
sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and
the result is kidney trouble, bladder
weakness and q general decline in health
When your kidneys feel like humps of
lead, your back hurts or the urine is
cloudy, full Of sediment or you are Obliged
to seek relief two or three times during
the night; if you suffer with sick headache
or dizzy, nervous spells, acid stomach, or
you have rheumatism when the weather
is bad, get from YOUR pharmacist about
four ounces Of Jad Salts; take table
spoonful in a glass Of water before break
fast 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 generations TO flush and stimulate
clogged kidneys; to neutralize the acids
IN the urine so it no longer is a source Of
irritation, thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts Is inexpensive; cannot injure,
makes q delightful efervescent hthia-
water beverage, and belongs in every
home, because nobody can make a mistake
by having a good kidney flushing any
time.

DIR, bAST|AN HEADS
MEDICAL SOCIETY
Resolutions Adopted Protesting
Against the National Health
Insurance Proposition.

The Medical Society of Delaware, at
the close Of its 13lst annual session held
Yesterday in the Hotel du Pont, unani-
mously passed resolution expressing
strong opposition to the national health
insurance proposition, which would place
the medical profession entirely under the
control and remuneration Of the govern
ment, it was stated.
In paper read before members of the
society, Frederick l.. Hoffman, vice
president and statistician of the Prudential
Insurance Co. of America of Newark,
n. j., declared that propaganda urging
adoption of such measure is fallaciOus.
He stated that he has visited England
and Germany, where such program is in
operation, that he studied its effects,
compiled statistics, and found the pro-
gram complete failure.
Such regulations are n menace not only
to the medical profession, but to the
public at large" he asserted. '"They kill
initiative in the physician, and destroy
the personal interest he may take in his
patients. The regulation minimizes re-
search work and scientific discovery and
invention. The physician is made to think
more Of politics and less Of his work, be
cause his appointment, position and re-
muneraUOn depends enlirtiy upon poiitiCs.
"The medical profession in England
and Germany may possibly never re-
cover from the effects Of the measure"
At the close of yesterdays session, DR..
Joseph w Bastian was elected the new
president of the society succeeding DIR.
Fl. NJ. Manning. Other officers were
elected in the morning, as printed in
Every Evening.
A paper was read by ]. Terrence Rugh
of Philadelphia. Pa, on the foot and shoe
problem, practically considered. He de-
clared that next to the heart the foot
does more work than any other organ of
the body, and that the feet should be
properly shod and cared for since sore feet
destroy the persons efficiency.
In paper dealing with the subject of
the abolition Of venereal diseases, DIR.
George Walker, of Baltimore. Md, pre-
sented statistics resulting from conditions
in France during the war. H. was said
that when the American soldiers arrived
in France. both white and colored were
received indlscriminately by French women
and girls Of undesirable type and that a
condition of grave danger impended.
Following an edict by General Pershing
that he would keep the army straight it if
took one half of his forces TO do it, strict
rules were put into effect, which largely

SCHOOL BOARD
-CENSURES TEACHER
At HOWARD SCHOOL
For Absenting Herself Without
Permission From School
Authorities.
RESERVATIONS ARE
OFFERED BY TWO

That Mrs. Alice Dunbar Nelson was
eensurable for leaving her post as teacher
in the Howard High School without per
mission: and that Ray II. Wooten, the
principal Of the school, exceeded his au-
thoritv by dealing with her case, instead
of referring it to the superintendent OF
schools. was the result of the deliberations
last. night of the Board of Education In
special session over the clash between the
principal and the teacher.
The boards action was expressed IN
the following resolution, which was
unanimously adopted after superintendent
of Schools Clifford J. Scott had presented
the case to the boa rd. During the afternoon
MIR. Scott had examined the principal and
teacher in his Office, the statements OF
both being taken down by stenographer
MIR. Scott presented these statements to
the board at its meeting last night, and
after they had been considered the reso-
Imtion was adopted. 1t follows:
Resolved That the Board of Educa-
ton finds Mrs. Nelson left her school on
the day of f--without the per
mission of her principal, the suPerlntend-
ent OF schools, or any other person OF
authority
THAT in doing this she WAS guilty of
insubOrdination, and the board cenSures
her for her conduct.
THAT the board also finds thst the
principal, instead of sending her home,
until. as he saws, he could dispose of her
case. should have simply reported the
matter to the superintendent of schools
for his decision.
THAT the board is Of the opinion,
however, that in view of the fact that there
was no rule upon the subject, that the
principal OF the Howard High School
should not be censIred for the action
taken bv him.
Resolved further, That the. articles
appearing in the public press critlcising
