To the Editor:
 have been quoted having stated at the meet ing of the deposos of the Central Bank last Satur day afternoon that if the bank should re-open with the approval of the state this would in effect to a state guarantee of deposits.
 regret. if from anything said on that occasion it could possibly be inferred that I had any such thought in mind. that sought to imply such a thing What attempted to say and still think said was that the bank could not reopen without the permission of the and that the state banking department must first be assured that its affairs were adjusted than when opened, it would stay opened; and further, that this assurance could be given if the depositors will cooperate by signing the depostors' agreement

To the Editor:
 By your Big Stick" let us disarm the public. If all the suicides, homi- cides, accidents and murders. plus the useless expense of deadly weapons were arrayed before us we would stand aghast and wonder why be it all!
 Deadly weapons are a bequest of barbarism, at the behest of mann mon. The law is weak in that it all lows the manufacture and sale of such things. It needs to learn les- son from the model prayer, which is: Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil"
 Aside from al lthe avoidable mur- ders and accidents peculiar to the ex- istance of deadly weapons and the easy securing of the same. they in- volve the courts into much labor; be- sides, where a death is there must of necessity be a funeral-and orphans and widows are madei
 The three governments should CO., operate in rounding up all deadly weapons, particularly firearms, as they are the most deadly, and turn them over to factories to be convert ed into useful implements So long as such things are sold there should be a strict record of the same, and no one should be able to secure such without going down on record; and should not be able to transfer, give away or sell the same without a transfer on the records. By so doing it would help trace criminals where they lost or threw away their arms.
 No one should be able to secure these arms without a weeks notice and should have to make proof, ir the presence of witnesses. that so faI as they knew the purchaser had nc victim Immediately in sight, was usu. ally cool headed and normal, if sucf person could be found. This would give the intended murderer or suicide time to reflect. Murders usuall, come by fits of temper.
 The carrying of weapons, especial ly of the firearms class. does no protect the carrier and, in the mean. erty. It endangers others, even mem bers of his own family.
 Good burglar alarms, good locks and little precautiof Is good an aesthetic for burglars An alarn could be made whereby one coult turn it on without taking their hant from under the cover in bed. whicl would be much safer than to resis them.
 The police of England don't carr. firearms. To display weapons in tn show windows suggest crime an, savors of the pit. Weapons now il circulation should be registered. Yours for safety,

If Kidneys Act

Says Backache Is Sign You Have
Been Eating Too Much
Meat.

When you wake UP with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says a we'll
known authority. Meat forms uric
acid which overworks the kidneys in
their effort to filter it from the blood
and they become sort of paralyzed
and loggy. When your kidneys get
sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels;
removing all the body's urinous
waste, else you have backache, sick
headache, dizzy spells; your stomach
sours, tongue is coated, and when
the weather is bad you have rheumat-
ic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full
OF sediment, channels often get sore.
water scalds and you are obliged to
seek relief two or three times during
the night
Either consult a good, reliable
physician at once or get from your
pharmacist about four ounces of Jad
Salts; take tablespoonful in a glass
of water before breakfast for a 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 has been
used for generations to clean and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
neutralize acids in the urine so it
no longer irritates, thus ending b1ad-
der weakness.
ad Salts is life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, can
not injure and makes delightful eff

Many Bouts Keep Large Crowd In

DIR. Tom White, referee, gave the

interesting although the men were
not matched evenly enough for a

wrestling match which Clyde won.
All the boxers Monday showed
game spirit and willingness to give

THE FARMERS ARE SINGING

Next Sunday two "al day sings

automobiles, the farmer, as a rule,
lives great deal to himself. He has
unbothered mental leisure in which to
think and theorize and philosophise

long corn and cotton rows, he can do
lot of thinking. And in times like

Flag Hoisted Below Water.

The British flag has been raised
under unusual circumstances in the
past, but perhaps the conditions were
never stranger than those at a cere-
mony which has just taken place at
Swanson bay, British Columbia, where
two divers, nearly 100 feet below the
surface Of the sea, hoisted the ships
ensign on the Flagstaff of the Sunken
ship Prince Rupert, which is now in
process Of being salvaged. One diver
bent the colors to the halyards and
slowly hOisted them while his mate
stood at the salute nearby and sent to
the surface, through the telephone
connected with his helmet. the strains
of the national anthem. Many ship
has gone down with colors flying, but
it will be the feat of the salvage com
pany engaged in raising the Prince
Rupert to bring thel vessel to the sur
face with the British flag mastheaded.
