IF KIDNEYS AND
BLADDER BOTHER
Take Salts to flush Kidneys and
neutralize irritating
acids

Kidney and Bladder weakness re-
suit from the uric acid, says a noted
authority. The kidneys filter this acid
from the blood and pass il 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 blad-
der. obliging you 10 seek relief two
or three times during the night. The
sufferer is in constant dread, the wa
alter passes sometimes with a scalding
sensation and is very profuse; again,
there is difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, mos. folks call
il, because they can't control urina-
ton. While it is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, tbs is
really one OF the most simple all
ments 10 overcome. Get al out four
ounces of Jad Salts from your phar-
macist and take a tablespoonful in a
glass OF water before breakfast, con-
time this for two or three days. This
will neutralize the acids in the urine
so ii no longer is a source of irri-
tation to the bladder and urinary or
gans 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. Jad
Salts is splendid for kidneys and
causes no bad effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant. effer-
vescent Whitewater drink, which
quickly rel:eves bladder troubie.-Ady.

HARDING'S Administrations AND
MEXICAN POLICY

Now comes the authoritative
announcement from Washington
that the Harding Administra
tons policy in regard to Mexico
is now very we'll determined
although officials are net yet
ready to enunciate it. This has
an interesting sound. Mexico
was one of the subjects upon
which the critics Of President
Woodrow Wilson were especially
eloquent. They never tired OF
condemning in the strongest
terms the Wilson Mexican policy
OF "watchfui waiting" and one
OF their most positive campaign
assurances was the oft-repeated
promise that when Mr. Wilson
went out OF office and was sue
ceeded by Republican Presi-
lent, very different method
would be employed by this gov
eminent in dealing with the re-
public beyond the Rio Grande.
Nevertheless, one the heels of
the announcement that the Adj
ninistration's policy is now very
well determined - indeed, as
part of that announcement -
comes the statement that there is
to be mo radical change" in our
procedure towards Mexico. Fur
thermore, lin general way, it
was indicated" says the dispatch,
that the road to recognition
pointed out in a letter former
Secretary of State Colby handed
to Roberto Y. Pesquiera. conf
dental agent OF Provisional
President de la Huerta of Mexico,
is still the road to be followed"
The new Administration is to
be congratulated once more and
the people of the country are to
be congratulated. also They are
to be congratulated upon the fact
that the Administration has the
courage-we suppose that is the
,erm to be used-to throw over
board all the campaign nonsense
that was spoken in denunciation
of the Wilson Mexican policy and
TO adopt that policy as its own.

NATHANIEL sgMMERFIELD CHEW

Mr.. Nathaniel Summcrheld
Chew, who died last Wednesday
at West River at the home OF his
son, Mr.. Samuel p. Chew, was
distinctively OF the type that
makes the world better for hav-
ing lived in 1.-THE type that
nowadays is treasured more in
memory than is found in the
flesh. In other words, he belong
ed TO the old school OF southern
Maryland gentlemen.
Born of parentage to be proud
of-for the Chews and the Peakes
helped make Maryland famous
he not only maintained the high
est traditions of his breeding but
set an example of pure and useful
living chat served as an inspira-
ton to those coming after him.
Following a short business ex-
perience in Baltimore until 1866,
he gave up most attractive pros
poets and at the age OF twenty
six came To West River, seeming
ly content with the quiet routine
of rural business. He was a man
of brilliant mind and was honor
man of his class in the old West
River Classical Institute, compos-
cd of the brightest and best OF
that section of southern Mary
land, than whom no finer type
ever lived.
He was especially fond of the
classics, and being a pious man
apd of the most exemplary char
acter, his influence in his family
and among his neighborhood was
a veritable benediction.
His was pure and noble life.
and we are only too glad to be
able to pay this humble tribute
TO it. 1t is well that the county
should know of its good men.
whether they are prominent in its
affairs or whether they lead-a life
of quietness, yet of inspiration, in
their home communities as did
the noble citizen who has just
passed to his reward.

u. S. Department OF agriculture
forecasts, the winter wheat crop
will reach 629 ,2Ss 900 bushels
SO .000,0 900 bushels more than last
years harvest. The Agricultural
Department further reports that
spring blowing was rs per cent
completed on May |. which IS
~ per cent. better than at the
corresponding rate year ago.
The farmers recognize what
we all must come to realize, that
our future prosperity lies in in
creased production, which in
turn means lower prices and a
greater buying capacity for the
fewer dollars we shall have. In
the end isn't it better to have one
10O-cent dollar than two OF the
3O-cent dollars OF the war period?

No power on earth-neither
capital nor labor-can stop the

opinion of John :. Drum, Presi-

views not alone upon his own
conclusions. but upon the belief
also of one thousand bankers.

business men i'll general whom he

The truth of Mr.. Drums asser-
ton is TO be observed in the his
tory of business the past year
and its truth is apparent in ever
current incident. Still there are
those who will not see it. or see
and its truth is apparent i'll every

path OF the inevitable ''readjust-

OF us were hoping. will best wea-
Their the storm. OF course. it IS
natural to try to hold on to high
prices and to high wages, for no
body likes to let go OF an advant-
age gained. but the example set
by our farmer friends is well
worthy OF emulation.
With prices of all manner of
farm products shot TO pieces. did
they sit down and mourn for de-
parted war profits? Did they
strike for shorter working day

Concerning Our Public Schools
BY W. X. IRVING
President of Teachers A sssciation OF the counfv

The following is quoted from The
54th annual report OF the State Board
Of Eiucaion:
The total expenditures for all
school purposes in the State for
the year ending July 81. 1920.
were $S,0S3. 57S52. which was an
increase of s1.55494250 over the
total amount spent for school pur-
poses during tho preceding year.
which is an increase of 23S per
cent. in the expenditures for
school purposes. Only a small
part OF this increase was for
buildings. grounds. or debt serv-
ice. practically all OF it being for
current expenses.
While building operations were
practically suspended during the
years OF 1917, 1918 and 1919. the
demand for additional accommo-
dations and for more satisfactory
conditions in many of the old
buildings has brought the build
ing question squarely before the
boards of education during the
year 1920. and in the 1920 session
of the General Assem- bly,,
eighteen of the twenty-three coun-
ties, and the City of Baltimore,
secured special acts from the Leg
islature authorizing bond issues
for school purposes. These sew :
oral counties. together with the
amount of Eonds authorized. are
as follows:
