HEAVY MEAT EATERS
HAVE SLOW KIDNEYS
Eat Lear meat if you feel Backachy OF
have bladder trouble-Take
glass Of Salts.

No man or woman who eats meat regu.
larly can make mistake by flushing the
kidneys occasionally, says a well-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 sedio
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 made
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.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and caunot
injure; makes a delightful efervescent
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.

MONSTER STAR is
ARMAMENT WONDER
27 MILLION TIMES THE SIZE
OF THE SUN. DIAMETER
800 MILLION MILES.

CHICAGO.-Results of the first
successful experiments on an astro-
nomical device at the Mt Vernon, Cal,
observatory revealing that certain re-
mote stars in the armament are many
thousand times larger in size than as
tronomers had ever surmised, was dis
cussed today by Prof. A. A. Nicholson,
noted scientist OF the University OF
Chicago, who perfected the device be-
fore the American Association Tor the
Advancement of Science.
Under the direction of Prof Michel
son. astronomical experts have just
computed the diameter Of Alpha Orion
us, one of the stars in the constellation
of Orion. oo
The orb is found to be 200,0OO,000
miles in diameter, approximately, 500
times the suns diameter. Its volume
is 100000 times as great as the sun.
The sun being almost a million times
as large as the earth, this planet seems
most insignificant in comparison with
Alpha Orionus.
Prof. Nicholson was awarded the
Nobel prize in physics thirteen years
ago. His device used in calculating
the diameter of Alpha Orionus is brief
ly described as follows:
The mirror of an eight-foot reflect
ing telescope is obscured by an opaque
cap with two Sits adjustable in width
and distance apart. When the instru--
ment is focused on a star instead of
an image of star there appears Sc
'ries of interference bands arranged at
equal distances apart and parallel to
the two Sits. When the Sits are prop
erly adjusted a distance is finally at
tanned between them at which the
fringes disappear
The angle of the subtended star IS
obtained by a simple formula and when
the angle and distance of the star from
the earth are known the diameter OF
the star can easily be determined.
The device was perfected last sum
mer and taken to California by Prot.
Nicholson and its secret was carefully
guarded until today. On Tuesday the
success of the device was telegraphed
to the professor. The device is accu-
rate to within 00001 of a second OF
longitude or approximately the angle
subtended by the head of a pin at a
distance Of 1000 miles.
A succession of such eruptions as
that of the Mt Katmai volcanic erup-
ton in Alaska in June, 1912 would
plunge the earth into another ice age
by reducing the suns temperature to
low degree on earth, DIR. Robert r.
Griggs declared before the American
Association for the Advancement of
Science at a general session last night.
DR.. Griggs headed the national geo
graphic society's expedition to Mt.
Katmai.

STRANGE SCENES AT
THE KISSING POST"
PEOPLE LIKE TO STAND NEAR
AND LOOK ON WHEN emil
GRANT SHIPS COME IN.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Over or Ell
lis Island there is what has been
known for a generation as the kissing
post. New arrivals meet there the
friends who have preceded them Nat
urally thew kiss Sometimes they KISS
pretty hard and cry and lack repose
rather completely. The kissing post
came honestly by its name. Visitors
to the island like to stand by and
watch the little scenes at the kissing
post They are always good Tor a
story when the visitors get back
home.
The other day an old peasant wo-
man stood there. She wore violent
blue and scarlet and purple shawl
over her head. She was bowed by a
lifetime of toll. Her clothes were the
sort of clothes that peasants IN cen
trail Europe always wear, except that
they looked rather uncommonly dirty.
Perhaps the lookers-on were mfu-
enced in this conviction by the very
decisive odor which came from the
immigrant pens. The newcomers car
ried their own atmosphere, after hav-
ing been penned in the holds OF inn
migrant ships during a stormy voy-
age. There was something about 1t
that reminded one of wet dog.
"She's frightened" said one OF the
lookers-on.
The old woman's eyes were fairly
rolling. They were big brown eyes
eyes that had been pretty many
years ago. Now they told OF the alb
solute panic of their owner. She
clutched a huge, shapeless bundle,
wound in filthy cloth, with the
strength of fear, The lookers-on Won
dered how such miserable old peas
ant could ever have secured permls-
sion to land in this country. She was,
as one remarked, a type OF the most
undesirable class that sought adm1s-
sion to our shores Then two young
men walked toward the kissing post
One had a slight limp and tiny bow
of ribbon on his left breast. Both
were we'll dressed, clean, husky,
bright-eyed, straightforward.
Look" said one of the onlookers.
The old woman tried to get down
on her knees. She had seized the hand
of one, of the youngsters and was
fairly nuzzling it. 1t seemed as
though she were begging OF him-as
though all her heart were in her plea.
She looked up at him in despair and
tears started from her eyes. She
threw her arms wide and cried
She cried something. The onlook-
ers never knew what it was she said,
for the two young men had thrown
their arms about her.

Atlantic. Death claimed E. H. Van
Ingen, wholesale buyer OF wooden
cloth, in his eighty-hrst year, after his
having made l62 trips across the big
wet. His round-trip crossings were
made twice a year. He was in many
respects the most remarkable ocean
traveller in the world. His trips were
business journeys, yet no one who was
fortunate to be on the same ship with
him will ever forget his rugged per-
sonality; a scholar with a fresh point
of view, full of wit and anecdote, he
was the life of every company of pas
sengers he entered.
Throughout the great war he kept
going, just as if there were no such
pesky annoyances as submarines.

FACTS DISTORTED
To FOOL FARMERS
Facts of Vital Interest to
Everybody in Georgia
Socialism Will Take Farms
After Public Utilities
Are Swallowed Up
The Municipal League of Georgia

The Municipal League of Georgia
says:
From 1910 to 1919, 10000
horse power were developed by
the Hydro-Electric Power Com
mission of Ontario"
The Real Facts About Ontario
The actual development by the Hy-
dro- Electric Power Commission In
Ontario from 1910 to 1919 was less
than 10000 horse power.
The Municipal League Of Georgia
has much to say about the number of
farms in Ontario using the service Of
the Hydro Electric Commission of On
tario.
The facts are that some farmers in
Ontario, living within or close to
towns or villages are using electric
service just as they are in Georgia,
but that electric service cannot be
furnished to farmers generally be-
cause of the expensive machinery nee
esq airy 20 make high tension electric
current available on isolated farms.
Promises Can't Be Carried Out
None of the promises made by the
Municipal League of Georgia to put
electric service on the farms can be
carried out. These false promises
are written simply to get your sup
port of their raid on Georgia's treas
ury.
Georgia Companies Ahead
of Ontario
The electric companies in t h e
United States are devoting
continuous and persi tent eff
fort to working out practicable plan
of reaching the farm house with cleo
trio service at a reasonable cost, but
the problem has not yet been solved.
The companies in Georgia are far
ahead Of the Ontario public-owned
body, and second to none in the United
States in the character of equipment
and quality Of service rendered.
The Municipal League of Georgia
says:
"The public utilities such as gas,
wafer, IlgnC ana power pIanCs are ulI-
ferent. In them the property Of the
public is used"
This statement is untrue, and Is an
other adroit appeal for your support
in their proposed raid on the Georgia
Treasury.
Huge Cost Will Increase Taxes
The facts are that every piece Of
property used by a water, gas, light
or power plant must be purchased and
paid for. The water in the streams
cannot be used to generate electricity
unless heavy investments are made in
dams, machinery and transmission
lines. The land that is, flooded and
the right of way for the transmission
lines must be bought and paid for.
Will Next Want Free Food
Your farm may be called public
property neat on the plea that it pro-
duces food and clOthiao 0hick ere
public necessities. l-

Tate to Decide If County Has Right to Keep Youngsters
 Off RoadWays

Whether or not the Jefferson county board of revenue has authority under the law to prevent what is declared to be a dangerous situation caused by chill dren skating on the county highways will be decided by Solicitor Joseph K. Tate
 Following the reading of joint letter to the board of revenue and the Blr- mingham Automobile club from J. H. Grove of Bessener, at the meeting yes- terday, this matter was discussed and the county solicitor was asked to advise members of the board on this subject.
 Numerous requests have been received by the board to stop this practice which not only endangers the lives of the chil- dren but the automobilists who use the highways. In the letter read yesterday attention was called to the prevalence of skating of children on the newly paved highway. It was pointed out that this was becoming serious situation and if continued would result in the death or serious injury of a number Of children as we'll as danger of collisions of autosts trying to avoid the skaters.
 Recently, numerous complaints of chli- dren skating on the streets and high ways have been made by drivers of auto mobiles and it is stated that they prac- tically take possession of the road In ad- tiition to which they hold on to the rear of car placing themselves and the driv- CTS in jeopardy.
