TO THE EDITOR:

In Fridays paper you quote me
as testifying in the case against A.
P Kitchin, for speeding, that he was
driving the car twenty two to twenty
three miles per hour, which is incor-
rect. What 1 said was that I KNEW,
and would SWEAR, that the ear was
going more than fifteen miles per
hour. The Mayor asked me how fast
the car was going, and I said to him
that I thought it was making about
twenty to twenty-five miles, but Al
.SOLUTELY KNEW it was going more
than fifteen miles. I do not want to
be put in the position of knowing
when car is being driven twenty
two to twenty three miles per hour
but I do know when car is being
driven over fifteen miles, when it is
going as fast as the car in question
was going. W. H. WHITE.
The news item that appeared in Fiji
days paper was given us by one of
the witnesses in the case, and was
approved by the Mayor. )-Editor.

had it been carried it out as

carried out as it was intended in
the beginning? It certainly was
not formed as a money-mak1ne

expected to receive more

OUT MEAT WHEN
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take glass Of Salts before breakfast
If your Back hurts or Bladder
is troubling you.

No man or woman who eats meat regu-
larry can make a mistake by flushing the
kidneys occasionally, says a wen-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
excites the kidneys, they become over
worked from the strain, get sluggish and
fail to filter the waste and poisons from
the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness 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 sedi-
ment, irregular of passage or attended by
sensation of scalding, stop eating meat
and get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take q
tablespoonful in glass of water before
breakfast and in few days your kidneys
will act fine This famous salts is mad
from the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, 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 weakness. n
aJad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
-injure; makes delightful effervescent
lithla-water drinR0 which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications.

SUNDAY-A DAY OF REST.

Sunday-a day of rest. Do you
make it such or are you devising
ways and means of swelling your
profits during the week?
Sunday is day of rest, for one
reason, because the human mind
requires a certain amount Of re-
taxation, without which it becomes
weakened and confused and fails
to function properly and to adj
vantage. 1t was so intended by the
Creator.
And where do you find. that
rest? Where do you obtain that
spirit of repose which stimulates
and rejuvenates the entire human
fabric?
There are many ways and places
but one is more beneficial than all
others combined. That is your
weekly visit to the church on Sun
day morning or evening, or both.
Even if you hear not one word the
minister says, the simple know
ledge that you are in a sanctuary
of the Lord casts a feeling of
calmness, solemnity and repose
over you which is good for the
mind, the body and the soul.-Se-
lected.

Jefferson in Misfortune.

When Thomas Jefferson retired from
the presidency and returned to Month
cello he was much in debt, though at
the time the fact was not know to
most of his friends. He emulated the
example Of Washington by trying to
be farmer, but was so far unsuccess-
full that each year he ran more behind
financially. In the meantime he was
keeping open house, entertaining Law
ishly and sometimes having as many
as fifty guests.
At length his affairs got into such
bad shape that he was compelled TO
ask congress to buy his library and
historical papers, which were thereup-
on sold to the nation for $4,000.
These books and papers now form one
Of the most valuable possessions or
the library of congress. The money
tided Jefferson over for while, but
he was bankrupt when he died, IL
years after his departure from the
White House. To the day of his death
he took an active interest in public
affairs. He established the Univer-
sity Of Virginia, serving as its first
provost, and personally superintendent
the erection of its buildings.

MANY FEAR BANKS
Large Class Prefers to Hoard
Its Savings.
Foreigners Especially Are Guilty Of
the Folly Of Carrying Large
Sums on Their Persons.

A contractor on the Ohio river was
putting In a cofferdam. 1t was dan
gerous and dirty work. One day the
dam broke. A number of workmen
were caught and sucked under by the
thrush of water. They all came to the
surface and were rescued but one.
This poor chap disappeared and they
were unable to find his body, although
diligent search was made.
After the cofferdam was repaired
and the water pumped out the body
Of the missing man was found buried
In the muddy bottom.
| The reason he did not rise to the
surface with the rest was that he had
fastened about his waist belt con-
tanning $3.50 in gold.
His money belt was his bank and in
trying to save his money he lost his
life, Charles Aubrey Eaton writes in
Leslie's.
Around the Pittsburgh district they
get their building sand by dredging the
river bottoms. Not long ago a work
man on one of the dredging scows
found in the sand brought up by the
dredge, a leather pocketbook contain
ing $1,700. He reported his find to the
boss and the company advertised for
the owner of the money.
A Hungarian laborer from one Of the
big manufacturing plants answered the
advertisement and claimed the money.
The story told by this man was ex-
traOrdinary. He had made the pocket
book himself at home out Of piece OF
leather which he had bought for the
purpose. He produced the remnant OF
the original piece of leather as part
of his proof of ownership. One day
he had accidentally dropped his peck
etbook down a manhole into a street
| sewer. He went to the spot where the
sewer empties into the river and with
out food or drink watched for three
days and nights, in the hope that the
| pocketbook would come through to the
river. At last he gave up in despair
and it was more than year later that
| the workman on the dredge fished the
thing up out of the river bottom.
A foreign-born workman was hurt In
a western Pennsylvania mine. When
he was brought to the surface for
treatment they found that he had fas-
| tened under his left arm an oiled skin
silk bag containing $3.50.
One day during the war / spoke to
q crowd of 5000 workmen in an east
ern shipyard. After the meeting an
italian laborer came to me and asked
IL he could speak to me in private.
We retired behind a pile of lumber and
he produced $500 worth of liberty
bonds which he had been carrying in
belt next to his body and which
were becoming soiled and discolored.
| He wanted to know where he could
put his bonds for safekeeping, as he
was afraid they would be stolen if he
carried them around him at his work.
