A Profitable Convention

The annual meeting of the associa-
ton OF Maine assessors made good
use of two days in discussing the nu-
merous problems with which they are
called upon to deal. reelected their
president for the fourth time, decided
that next year they could make prof
liable use Of three days and adjourn
ed.
Nothing Of a novel or radical ma
ture was done but much was accom-
plished in arriving at better under
standing of methods and encourage
ment of more uniformity of valuation.
Problems connected with taxation are
never ending and are constantly COM
ing up. often in new phases. They
are among the most important of all
connected with government and any
assessor who succeeds in performing
his duties with credit to them and to
himself must necessarily give to them
more of study and of time than is
generally recognized or remunerated.
These association meetings are oppor-
tunities Of great possibilities and the
interest shown is most gratifying, es-
pecially SO to President Stetson, the
originator Of these meetings, which
are AMI must continue to be of great
benefit to the entire State.

Near East Relief
Portland. Me-. Dec. S,

Portland, Me-. Dec. S, 1920.
To the Editor of the Kennebec Daily
Journal:
There seems to be some confusion
in the public mind about the relation
of Mr.. Herbert Hoover's Child-Feed-
ing campaign, with the organization
known as Near East Relief. VIII the
Kennebec Journal kindly give pub
licity to the following explanation:
There is no connection between the
European Relief Council. of which
Herbert Hoover IL Chairman. and
Near East Relief. There Is no dupiiea-
ton OF the aid given by the two or
ganizations. as the former operates in
Central Europe. and the latter in Asia
Minor. Money raised by the Literary
Digest and Mr.. Hoover's Committees
does not include Armenian children
among its boneficiaries.
Near East Relief was incorporated
by Congress in 1919 for relief and re-
construction wori, in this Near East,
and to meet the great problem OF hua-
dreds of thousendH of war orphans
there who have no other support than
charity. There hro over hvo hundred
American Near East Relief workers in
vast area where 1t Is the only relief
agency, where there Is no government
to give aid, where there are no schools
and no homes, save as we provide
education and shelter. The presence
of these workers ut q relief station ia
often all that prevents the complete
humiliation of Christian community
by the Turks. Sixteen men and women
from Maine have done the State credit
on our Relief personnel.
Near East Relief is maintaining in
the field 63 hospitals. eleven rescue
homes for girls. and 229 orphan
ages. housing $4,000 orphans. and
giving outside aid to Sc, 900 others. Re-
| lief workers report that for every
| child given a home in an orphanage,
there are three. homeless and uncared
, for. These little waits who were
without shelter through the summer
cannot survive the winter unless we
give them food and shelter
The future peace and hope of the
| world are dependent upon it's children
The Near East Relief orphan holds
the key to peace, stability and pros
perity at the Crossroads of the
World.
Very truly yours,
GEORGE H. SISSON,
State Director.

Editorial Comment
Lodge Versus Harding

tbOStOn IranScflpt1
1t is impossible to sympathize with
Senator Lodges objection to Con-
gressional assistance to the farming
interests of the country, on the ground
that if aid is to be extended to the
farmers it should also be made avail
able for other industries-the textile
industry of New England. for instance
Many mills are closed down." said

land the resolution, / think, should be
enlarged to cover those industries
This is a purely sectional, not to say
a distinctly log-rolling. view of the
agricultural crisis. which we should
hardly have expected from our senior
senator. The mills Of New England
have felt the pinch. but they are able
to meet it, and SO far as has been
heard they have asked for no public
assistance in doing so. The situation Of
the agricultural industry is not mere
ly sectional, nor is it to be handled by
the ordinary commercial means. 1t is
a national, not a sectional emergency.

SALTS IF KIDNEYS
OR BLADDER BOTHER
Harmless to flush Kidneys and nsu
tralizs irritating acids.

Kidney and Bladder weakness re-
suit from uric acid, says a noted au-
thority. The kidneys filter this acid
from the blood and pass it on to the
bladder, where it often remains to
irritate and infiame, causing a burn
ing. scalding sensation, or setting up
an irritation at the neck Of the tlad-
Ger, obliging you to seek relief two OF
three times during the night. The
sufferer is in constant dread, the
water passes sometimes with a scald-
ing sensation and is very profuse:
again, there is difficulty in avoiding
It.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
it. because they can't control urina-
ton. While 1t is extremely annoyisg
and sometimes very painful, this is
really one Of the most simple ailments
to overcome. Get about four ounces
OF Jad Salts from your pharmacist
and take a tablespoonful in a g,aas of
water before breakfast, continue this
for two or three days. This will neu-
tralize the acids in the urine SO it no
longer is a source of irritation 10 the
bladder and urinary organs which
then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and Is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia.
and is used by thousands of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders
caused by uric acid irritation. lad
Salts is splendid for kidneys and
causes no bad effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, effel yes
cent lithia -water drink, which quickly
relieves bladder trouble.--Adv.

vice than on November I despite the
fact that a class had graduated from
the navel academy in the meantime. A
total Of COS officers resigned from the
regular navy during the year, of which
81 were line officers. leaving short
age of about 24o0 officers in the per-
manent establishment.
A considerable portion of the report
was devoted to the naval reserve
force. an annual appropriation of at
least ss000o0 for the administration of
this service being recommended.
THE expenditure of money. for this
purpose from year to year will at
first appear perhaps large" says the
admiral. "but when it is considered
that the maintenance of this force in
an efficient state will not only save
the government a large share of the
amount that would. be expended for the
purpose if war should again find US
unprepared. but will practically insure
victory on the sea following a declara-
ton of war. an insurance is gained at
comparatively small cost and as such
is a measure of economy"
The World War demonstrated that
the navy could not rely on the mer-
chant service for officers and men in
time of war. Admiral Washington
states. urging in this connection that
the members Of the merchant marine,
be given at least the fundamentals of
naval training for use in time Of
emergency.
The naval reserve force now consists
of $500 officers and 49,, 600 enrolled
men. the report says, the majority of
whom are interested in the work and
will probably remain in the service.
More than 5000 of the officers and fully
100 coo of the men are qualified for the
duties of their rank on combatant
ships of the navy in time of war, Ad-
miral Washington adds.

Arturo Aiessandri triumphed. having
consumed Is weeks. Some of the lead
ers of Chilean opinion want to reduce
the period in which the country is
kept in political turmoil. W
A special commission of the Chamber
of Deputies has submitted a measure
providing for the election of the Presi-
dent by special assembly composed
of members of both branches of par
lament and presidential electors. All
questions arising from the election
would be decided by tribunal which
would include seven justices Of the
higher courts
Debate on the measure is expected
to begin soon and il the bill is adopted
it will have to be approved by the
new congress which is elected March
next -
Ell Mercurio advocating electoral re-
form considers the bill would be an
improvement over the present system,
but suggests an Office of vice-presi-
dents should be created.
La Nacion favors direct election by
the people as being short and simple.
1t opposes perpetuation of a system
of electing the president by a re-
stricted body Of men.
Under the present electoral system,
after the electors are chosen they must
meet five weeks later and vote for
their respective candidates. Then con-
gress must assemble in joint session a
month later. decide any claims or
contested electors and proclaim the
successful candidates. This system was
devised to satisfy conditions of COM
munication in the early days of Chilean
independence.

of the fact that however Objectionable

1t cannot be disputed that financially
Ireland profited during the war, also
that in Ireland at a time when Eng

Very many, who readily understand

Ex-Kaiser's Income
From Germany Does
Not Indicate Poverty

Doom. Holland, Nov. 2s-(By Asso-
ciated Press)-Revelations in the Prus-
sian state legislature at Berlin of the
sums of money which the former Ger
man Emperor has been permitted to
draw from Germany during the past
two years. together with the announce
ment that the Dutch government will
tax him for an annual income of L.
1000 guilders. have caused the burgh-
ers of Doom to speculate as to what
he does with all this money. (Nomi-
nally a guilder is worth 40 cents.)
/ From Germany. the former Emperor
Is said to have drawn 1000, 900 guilders,
equivalent at present rates of ex-
change to ILLS. 900 German marks. also
the proceeds of the sale of some of his
property in the Wilhelmstrasse said
to be 100000 marks. Besides all this
contributed additionally to the furnish
/ ing of his new house at Doom.
For a long time William complained
of being financially embarrassed Now
however, according to the people of
Doom. he appears to be living in high
style.
Not counting his marshal, General
Won Gontard and other members of his
immediate suite. approximately 50
servants are now employed to keep up
the house of Doom. This does not in
clude the workmen who are still en-
gagged in various repairs. about the
house and grounds.
There are "a charwomen. who are
work. and otherwise keeping tie cas-
tie up to the standard of old German
cleanliness demanded by the former En-
press Augusta Victoria They receive
the equivalent of about dollar a day.
Ten of them live in the castle.
In all. William now employs six
cooks, who include a chef and an as
aistant living at the castle and four
women who come in to work by the
day. There are also a number of gar
deners. and personal servants
To maintain this army of servants
whose average wages. the people Of
Doom say. must be something more
than a dollar a day. William pays in
wages alone about $4,000 a year. Their
upkeep costs him as much more and
this does not include the high salaried
employees, like General Won Gontard,
Captain Won Illseman, the court ply
sician,' and secretaries, who must
cost the ex-emperor about $4,000 more.
During his eighteen months stay at
the Bentinck castle, at Amerongen,
William lived at the rate of about 1925
daily. In his own estate, he is believed
