misery in the kidney region. severe
headaches, rheumatic twinges, torpid
liver. acid stomach, sleeplessness and
all sorts of bladder disorders.
You simply must keep your kid
neys active and clean, and the mo-
ment you feel an ache or pain in the
kidney region. get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from any good drug store
here. take tablespoonful in 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 is harm
less to flush clogged kidneys and
stimulate them to normal activity. 1t
also neutralizes the acids in the urine
SO 1t no longer irritates. thus ending
bladder disorders
lad Salts is harmless: inexpensive:

ia water drink which everybody

their kidneys clean. thus avoiding Sc
rious complications.

of Education. Abram ". Harris, for
mer president of Northwestern Univer-
sity and corresponding secretary of the
board. said that $50 educational insti-
buttons are sponsored by the board.
OF this number 43 are colleges or uni
vers;ties. 32 are professional and grad
uate schools. Sc are secondary schools
for whites and 10 are schools for ne
groes.
Property of the schools is valued at
more than s39.000,00o. and their pro-
ductiye endowment is in excess Of s34.-
$4,000. Students total about $1,000
and the alumni number 119.S34.
Tile board has two main interests"
said the report One is to help stu
dents attend colleges or secondary

and most Intelligent youth accord
ing to the report.
In one denomination 1855 congrega-
tions did not have regular pastoral
care In another there were 994 fewer
ministers than in t1s14. A denomina-
ton having 963 congregations had only
62I settled pastors and another re-
ports an average net gain of 25,6SO
members but of only "a ministers"
The report gave a comparative list
of average salaries paid by various
denominations but said the figures
were misleading because the larger
salaries make the average maximum
amount for most of them" According
to these figures the Protestant Episco-
pal church pays an average Of s1242
the Presbyterian tNorth), SLIT; the
United Presbyterian s1O96; the Dutch
Reformed church. s11Z0; the Metho-
dist Episcopal (North). Sits; the
Congregational. S1042 and the Baptist
(Northern), $3.50.
The report said that the federal in.
come tax returns listed only 1871
clergymen, as having an income of
$4,000 year and that while New Jer-
sey ranks first among the states in the
average salaries paid clergymen, the
figure there is S1270 a year, which is
less than the so5 a week which stenoy-
raphers average

Far from Failure
Interchurch Increment

Boston. Mass, Nov. 16.-The Inter
church World Movement was far
from failure" in the opinion of
Bish Up Thomas Nicholson of Chicago
who today addressed the committee on
conservation and advance of the
Methodist Episcopal church He added
that plan was afoot ito bring all in
ter-denominational Protestant forces
together in forward movement OF
larger proportion than any yet UNDER
taken
Tn9 movement brought together the
protestant churches in q co-operation
never before known TO them, and ac-
tually resulted in the raising of s155.-
100000" said Bishop Nicholson. 1T
has left deepening conviction
throughout the nation that there must
be pernetuation of the things for
which that movement stood AS chair.
man of the reorganization committee
| can say that we have just completed
in New York a three days series of
conferences with various inter-denomi-
national organizations. We found a
universal desire for the re-organiza-
eloi anu CONTINUATION OF the inter-
church Movement either under that or
some other name.
The meeting in New York last week
convinced me more than ever before
that the aims and ideals of the last
three years are desirable, profitable
and workable. We shall learn by our
mistakes but we shall go forward on
large lines
Bishop Nicholson advocated nation
wide evangelistic campaigns and
pleaded for continuation of mission
airy work in Korea.
Il am convinced he said. that the
spread of Christianity among these
oriental peoples, who are naturally re-
i1gloas and who are deeply and mys-
tically pious, is really a piece of world
salvation. The church has it within
its power to prevent what otherwise
will be the world clash between Orien-
tai and Occidental. between the white
and yellow races"
