QUIT MEAT WHEN
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take Glass of Salts If Your Back
Hurts or Bladder Troubles You

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make mistakenly flush
ing the kidneys occasionally, says a
well-known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which excites the kidneys,
they become ovesworked from the
strain, get sluggish and fail to filter
the waste and poisohs from the
blood, then we get sick. Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, dizziness, sleepliness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalding.
stop eating meat and get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy; take tablespoonful in a glass
of water before breakfast and in a
few days your kidneys will act fine
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with ithia, and has been used
for generations to flush and stimulate
the kidneys, also to neutralize the
acids in urine so it no longer causes
irritation, thus ending bladder weak
ness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the
blood pure, thereby avoiding serious
kidney complications. Advertisement.

FROM YESTERDAYS

Several stories in todays paper are
reprinted from yesterdays daily and
to the out of town subscribers who
did not receive the daily we wish to
explain that the news is reprinted for
their especial benefit. We want our
out of town subscribers to know every
thing that is happening in our live
little city In explanation further to
those who read the daily, we wish to
state that none of today's news was
left out in order to make room for the
yesterdays but its publication was
permitted by the cooperation of two
of our advertisers who consented to
have insertion of their adds postponed
until tomorrow.
Just in passing, we would like to ask
our friends and subscribers who have
complimented us on our first attempt
at daily paper to give due credit to
the advertisers whose patronage is
making its pu blic at o n possible
The subscription price barely covers
cost of white paper, ink, and carrier
service The cost of telegraph ser
vice, labor, and everything else comes
from the advertising.

THE FITZGERALD
DAILY LEADER

(From Yesterdays Daily
The Fitzgerald Daily Leader makes
its bow today to the Fitzgerald and
Ben Hill County public. How long
it will continue to appear is matter
of conjecture. 1t will be published all
this week. That is assured How
much longer depends entirely on the
wishes of our advertisers. We would
like to make the Daily Leader per
manent institution but neYS09 Der
cannot be published entirely cn hat
air.
Although the Daily Leader is pub
lished in diminutive size and sells for
the regular price of five cents per copy
the expense of the telegraphic news
service is so great and the additional
work required to publish it is such
that it will not be profitable to the
publisher even though the full limit,
240 inches, of advertising is carried in
each issue. The little Leader" is Of
fered simply as service feature of
the Leader Publishing Company and
will be discontinued after this week,
or as soon as normal mail service
makes the service not absolutely nee
essary.
The Daily Leader and the Leader
Enterprise and Press will carry tele.
graphic news that happens up to five
hours after the local edition of the
Macon News is prinsed fifteen hour:
after the Macon Teleg,a ph is printed
sixteen hours after the Atlanta Con
stitution is printed, and twenty-thret
hours after the Journal and Georgian
are printed.

FAIR AND IMPARTIAL
NEWS SERVICE
(From Yesterdays Daily)

(From Yesterdays Daily
The Leader wishes to call attention
to the two partisan" news stories on
the front page one written and
signed by Mr.. w. w. Croxton giving
the side of Col B. L. Bugg as receiver
for the road; one furnished by Messrs.
w. M. Martin, c. L. Fox and P. C.
Collins, the press committee of the
Joint Federation Committee striking
employees of the A B. and A.
In this controversy the Leader has
found it impossible from the start to
include in single news story a fair
and balanced presentation of both
sides of the controversy. 1t has pur-
sued policy of giving each side, un-
censored by the editorial blue pencil,
a hearing and letting the reader draw
his own conclusions and form his own
judgement. We believe the reader to
be just as capable of drawing fair
conclusion as is the editor. That
holds true for the new columns.

KEEP THE CURB
MARKET GOING

Today was the second day of the
Fitzgerald Curb Market. The far
mers of Ben" Hill and surrounding
counties brought in good lot of good
goods, despite threatening weather,
and the good women of the city patro-
nized them literally.
However, the novelty will soon
wear off and some patrons and some
farmers will drop out From the
point of view of view of both farmer
and consumer the curb market is the
best thing that has happened recent
ly. 1t must be continued and must be
given liberal support from both ends
to grow into something big, into some
thing OF the kind Mr.. Paulk suggested
in his platform last week--a city mar
ket under cover where rainy days and
scorching hot days will not bother.
IT is important that the advocates of
the curb market keep vigorously be-
hind it now in its infancy as it was be-
fore its birth. @Itewouid be a crying
shame to let so good thing die for
lack of sufficient interest. Not that
the market has shown any signs of
weakness at SO early date, but other
good things have been boosted for a
good start and then died of neglect
afterward Let's don't let the curb
market suffer such fate.

A GENTLE HINT
TO THE COPS

In Georgia the enforcement of the
law is left largely with the sheriffs of
the various counties, and thew are a
kind of law unto themselves. In some
states the Governor can dismiss a
sheriff when he fails or refuses m
enforce the law but not so in Georgia.
Here he can do just about as he
pleases when it comes to ENFORCING
the laws of the state.
In neighboring county sheriff
was said to have remarked that he
had given the boys a few DAVIS in
which to procure their tags. In other
words, this Sheriff was annulling a
plain. law of the land, and allowing
automobiles to run after March LIST.
without tag and license. The Sec
rotary of State has requested all sher-
ifs to look after this one particular
matter for there can be no excuse for
violating this law.
In towns the size of Fitzgerald we
have learned to look to the police
force to do for us what the sheriffs do
for the state, and we find the same
rule applies in town as in the country.
Here is where the Civic League faces
trouble in the cleaning up process.

LEAVE WILSON
TO HISTORY"

Woodrow Wilson is now a private
citizen. His place in History will be
determined by future events. No
president of this country ever had
such stormy career, and the vast
majority of the people are fully con-
vinced that he handled the most of
the issues with a maximum of mis-
takes.
Ex-president Wilson was a victim
of too much power The people of
the United States gave him more
power than any autocrat in all the
history of the modern world, and it
made him lose his head. He believed
he could tell one crowd the Prohibi-
ton law was in force, another crowd
it wasn't. He could tell one delega-
ton the war was over-another it
wasn't over, and that the American
people would stand for it. But they
wouldn't.
In many respects he is a great man
and future historians will so record it.

ally talked to several of the most in
fluential members we saw that it was
impossible to get any encouragement
from that source. So after awhile the
matter was dropped.
But an idea never dies, and since
that time l have noticed good many
suggestions along the same line. I do
not remember the details as it was
worked out at the time, but in a gen.
eral way that the state could pur-
chase the road by substituting its
own Bonds for the outstanding Bonds
of the railroad. Those who remember
anything about politics will recall that
during those years a great deal was
said and written about extending our
State Road to the sea, and there are
still some of us who believe it would
be good idea yet to do so.
The A. B. & A. was having its
troubles at that time and after hav-
ing been reorganized and operated for
& or years we find those troubles are
still as aggravating as ever.
There should be some statesman
in Georgia with enough Vision and
sufficient power to make the people
OF the state see that the extension of
our road to tn sea can best be accom-
plished blythe purchase of the A. 3.
