profits, as follows:
sour financial statement shows
srthRt during the past year our profits
on sales Of S1,2OO.oO0OOO were only
tia,6TO1S1 before the deduction OF
Federal income and excess profits
taxes. and only Sls.S7O,1s1 after de-
duction Of taxes and interest. Using
the latter figure, this was only 1-6
cents on each dollar OF sales, and
averaged only u OF a cent per pound
eon. all products of every description
sbid. In spite OF ell possible efforts
on the part OF the Federal Trade
Commission TO discredit our account
ing system and our profit figures, the
fundamental fact remains that our
profits are so small, as compared with
i sales, as to have practically no effect
on prices. They are so small that
y they do not amount to more than 3
cents tper week for the average
family.

URIC ACID IN MEAT
CLOGS THE kidneys
Take glass of Salts if your Back hurts
or Bladder bothers you-Drink
more water.

If you must have your meat every day;
eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts
occasionally, says noted authority who
tells US that meat forms uric acid which
almost paralyzes the kidneys in their eff
forts to expel it from the blood They
become sluggish and weaken, then you
suffer with a dull misery 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
time 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 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 used for generations
to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize the acids in urine,
80 it no longer irritates, thus ending
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
iure, and makes delightful efervescent
Whitewater drink.

COLD DAY PUTS FINISH TO A
POSTMASTER'S STOCK OF
CASH. MUST REPLACE 1T.

SAUSALITO, Cal.-Postmaster E
H. Shoemaker, of this Marin county
town. mistrusted the strength OF an
old iron safe in his Office and placed
his confidence to battle would-be-
burglars in the kitchen stove. How
ever. he has learned at the cost OF
$500 that his confidence in the fam
ily range was misplaced and will
henceforth put his stamps and other
valuables in the repository furnished
by Uncle Sam.
Every night Shoemaker was in the
habit of bringing home a large bun
die of postage and war savings
stamps and hiding them unbeknown
to the family in the stove.
The weather at Sausalito the 9TH
err morning was quite chilly and the
postraaster's daughter started fire
soon the stamps vanished II
smoke.
Shoemaker reported the matter tc
the postoffice inspector and was IN
formed that he would be required tc
make good the governments loss.
Its a strange thing. said In
spector Morse, chat postmasters vii
use stoves for hiding places. We re
ceive reports regularly from post

SHORT SKIRTS HAVE REACH
ED LIMIT, ATLANTA THINKS
That Is, Those Atlantans Whose
Eyesight Is Failing.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Reformers, club
women and teachers in Atlanta are
beginning to wonder if the short
skirt craze is not being carried toe
far.
They declare you. won't see any
more extremes of fashions on Broad
way than you will on Peachtree
street in Atlanta or Canal street in
New Orleans or the principal thor
oughfares of other "up-to-date'
southern cities.
1t is nothing unusual to see a full
grown girl, Or even a young married
woman of attractive figure, attired
in a skirt that comes up half way to
her knees, and when the wind blows
or the lady mounts a street car
nothing is left to the imagination of
the pop-eyed beholder.
A jaded business man can stand
on Peachtree street on a windy day
and see great deal more than he
can in a musical comedy, with GER
tainly an excellence of "class" that
renders the spectacle vastly more
interesting. And can you blame him
for looking when the ladies wear
such pretty shoes and attractive silk
stockings?

BATTLESHIP IOWA TO BE
USED AS MOVING TARGET
Old Sea Fighter Will Proceed Under
Own Steam, Controlled by Radio
system from Seaplanes.

The once famous battleship Iowa,
which played big part in the de-
struction of Cevera's fleet at Santl-
ago, Cuba, in the Spanish-Amerlcan
war, is being prepared at the Phlla-
delphia navy yard for what naval Off
GERS say will be one of the most unique
target experiments ever attempted.
Proceeding unnamed, but under
her own steam and controlled by ra-
do, probably from seaplanes, the old
sea fighter will become the objective
of the big guns of the Atlantic fleet
dreadnoughts in Chesapeake bay late
this summer. This will be the first
time that American warships have
used a moving craft for a target eX-
cept in actual war.
Two of the Iowa's coal burning boil
ers are being converted to burn oil SC
the ship may continue under way with
no one aboard once her fires have beer
started burning and her engines set II
motion. Smoke screens will be
thrown around the Iowa during the
runs and the course will be changed al
will through the radio control system
necessitating a change in range on al
the firing ships, exactly as would oc-
cur in action.
The Iowa has already been stripped
of most of its guns and much valuable
metal parts, and the practice will be
! continued until the old vessel sinks
| beneath the waves.

GRIFFIN, Ga.-There is a man

He is a prominent cotton man. Be

Soon after the returns We're II

WHISKY RING GETS
DRINKS FOR THE RICH
BARRELS OF LIQUOR SHIPPED
ON FORGED PERMITS. VEAL
THY MEN INVOLVED.

BOSTON, Mass.-Federal prohibit
ton enforcement officers, following
a raid on the summer homes of four
Massachusetts millionaires at the
North Shore and the seizure of four
barrels of high grade whisky, believe
that they have evidence that a
whisky ring" composed of well
known Boston business and profes-
sional men, is operating between
Boston and New York. 1t is alleged
that forged government permits are
used, and the most select alcoholic
beverages are sold at rich prices to
high class clientele in Boston and
vicinity.
The officers would not state who
they believe those men to be, but de-
clared that the evidence which they
possess will be sent on to the proper
officials in Washington.
William j. Mccarthy, supervising
federal prohibition agent for New
England, personally directed the raid
on the summer estates, and while no
arrests have been made as yet Off
Gals declare that all those connected
with the case will be prosecuted.
The millionaires in whose cellars
the LIQUOR was seized are: Rudolph
L. Agassiz. of Hamilton, president
of the Calumet and Hecla company
and president and director of several
other large companies; Brice J. AL
len, of Beverly, head of the Allen
Steamship company; John R. Post,
Beverly Farms, member of the firm
of Dorr & Post, SO State street, and
Richard Whitman, of Hamilton. In
each of the homes a barrel of whis-
ky was taken.
The prohibition enforcement
agents charge that a whisky ring
in this city contracted for a consid-
cradle quantity of high grade liquor
in the possession of a concern sup
posed to handle it for non-beverage
purposes. They paid the concern So
a gallon and the recipients of the
liquor are said to have in some cases
paid as high as S1,440 a barrel, or
about SAB a gallon. In the case un-
covered the barrels of whisky were
issued on a permit alleged to have
been signed by the federal prohibit
ton agent of New York. The permit,
the officials declare, was a forgery
1t stipulated that the liquor was to
60 to New York for non-beverage
purposes.
