PEP IN SCHOOL PLAYGROUND
Authority Makes Plea for Games That
Are characterized by Energy
and Vim.

"Jellyfish gymnastics, or stupid, silly
games, played half-heartedly, hive lit
tie place in the proper physical devel-
opment of the growing child" declares
DR.. Il. Blanche Sterling, acting assist
ant surgeon, United States public
health service, in commenting on the
health of school children. In planning
exercise with a view TO the promo
ton OF good posture, she suggests
they should be simple and vigorous
and full of energy and vim.
The posture of school children can
NOT, however, be said to depend chiefly
on any one condition, she holds. De
fective vision, adenoids and bad tonsils
tend to have n bad effect on the child's
posture. Where hygienic conditions
in a school are not the best there is
an Increase of poor posture. Good
nutrition is a contributing factor to
good posture, but by no means an in
d~lspensable condition. Condition of the
teeth. she claims, has no effect. Doc
tor Sterling's findings are based on a
study of three elementary schools at
Bedford, Ind.

Hughes declined, stating:
The conference proposed for the pur-
pose of drawing up a treaty Of peace
with Turkey will have primarily to
deal with the problems resulting from
the state of billigerency between the
allied powers, Turkey, and Greece.
The United States was neither at war

participate In the final peace negotia-

Soviet Russia was invited to take

which has to do with the Dardanelles,
and while she is indignant at the linn

MO VICTORY could be more COM
~ plete than that won by the Fas-
cisti in their peaceful revolution in
Italy. They are now in absolute con-
troll of the government and their
chief, Benito Mussolini, Is premier
and minister of foreign affairs and of
the interior. Giolitti declined the
premiership, so Mussolini at the invi-
tation OF the king took the place and
promptly announced the new cabinet.
Most OF Its members belong to the
Fascist, but several places are given
TO the Natlonallsts, n to the Demo-

From all over the country the Black
Shirts flocked to Rome where 100000
of them paraded before the king and
premier, and then, at the order Of
their leaders. they dispersed to their
homes to resume their vocations.
Italy seems TO have supreme conf
dence in Mussolini, believing that he
will put an end to the conflicts of po-
litical factions that have sadly
hindered its development during the
last three years and that under his
rule economic prosperity will be re-
stored. He is young, vigorous and I'M

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 regI-
larly can make a mistake by flushing the
kidneys occasionally, says we'll 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 pcisons 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
a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat
and get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take
tablespoonful in glass of water before
breakfast and in few days your kidneys
win 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 cannot

GREAT TRAIN RECORD Is
MADE BY CENTRAL OF GA.

that has probably never been equal
ed in the history of American trans
portation was made during 1921 by
the passenger trains of the Central
of Georgia railway. During that wear
the road operated 33,899 passenger
trains of which 33,465 or 98.7 were
on time at their destination. The
only record of percentage of con

kept by the United States Railway
Administration during four months
of 1919 when the average for all was
1872 per cent.
