COOKE SPOKE TO
ALABAMA LEGION
WSON MAN ADDRESSED
CONVENTION AT MOBILE.
SAYS BONUS SURE.

MOBILE, Ala.-National Vice
Commander f. E. Cooke, of Dawson,
Ga, was central speaker at the state
Legions annual banquet Thursday
night He outlined the legion pro-
gram for comrades and told them the
Owsley administration would loom
large in legion history.
Owsley, the speaker said, would
go into the Brussels conference Sat
urday morning with full powers from
the legion and the determination that
some scheme of national arbitration
must result which will outlaw war.
Adjusted compensation, he told
comrades, has enough votes in the
next congress to pass over presiden-
tial veto if necessary.
The legion wants the door closed
to immigration until some practical
basis for admission is determined, said
the speaker The question is, said
Mr.. Cooke, do we want the emigrant
as an economic slave or as future
American citizen?"

ANGLER FISH HAS FLAG
TO AID OBTAINING FOOD
Lives on Bottom of Sea, and Seeks
Prey by Stealth.

The family of the angler fishes con
tains more strange forms than any
other.
Living on the sea bottom and seek
ing theft prey by stealth, angler fishes
do not need powerful swimming mus
cles; consequently the size OF the
body and tail has become consider
ably reduced, so that the head. rela-
lively to the size of the body, is TN
usually large and villainously ugly
The rays of the back fin are very
long and the foremost is provided
with a fag-like flap of skin at the
top, extremely sensitive to touch and
playing a very important part in the
capture of its food.
The fish commonly lies concealed
on the sea bottom with this flag
erected. From its general resemblance
to the surrounding sea weed it is
quite inconspicuous, so that the pass
ing fish seek not to avoid it.
If one touches it the jaws beneath
open instantly and the 1uckless tres
passer is engulfed. 1t is probable that
this flag serves also as a lure to at
tract passing fishes.

Quart of Water
Cleans Kidneys
Take a Little Salts If Your Back
Hurts, or Bladder is
Troubling You

No man or woman can make mis-
take by flushing the kidneys occasion
ally, saws a well-known authority Eat
ing too much rich food creates acids,
which excite the kidneys. They become
overworked from the strain, get slug
gish and fail to filter the waste and
poisons from the blood. Then we get
sick. Rheumatism, headaches, liver
trouble, nervousness, dizziness, sleep
lessness and urinary disorders often
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, begin
drinking a quart of water each day,
also get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take a tablespoon
full in a glass of water before breakfast,
and in few days your kidneys may act
fine
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia and has been used
for years to flush and stimulate the
kidneys; also to help neutrallze the
acids in the system, so they no longer
cause irritation, thus often relieving
bladder weakness.
lad Salts is inexpensive; makes a
delightful effervescent lithia-water drink
which everyone should take now and
then to help keep the kidneys clean
and active and the blood pure, thereby
often avoiding serious kidney complica-
lions. By all means have your physi-
clan examine your kidneys at least
twice a year.

Government Economy Is
Needed, Says Slaton
Former Governor Is at Home Again
After Trip to Europe.

John NJ Slaton, former governor of
Georgia, has returned home from a
two months trip through England,
France, Switzerland, Italy and Bel
>gium with Mrs Slaton. Mr.. Slaton
says the world today is suffering from
lack of governmental economy and
added that he believed the next pres
idential election should be decided
along economical lines.
wherever | went through Eu-
rope" continued Mr.. Slaton, 81 found
that heavy taxation is paralyzing in
dustries and working hardships upon
the people. The same condition exists
in this country. The burden must be
reduced. The man and woman in ev-
cry walk of life feels the pinch. An
administration conducted with the
most stringent economical policy is
the one that will greatly aid the coun-
try generally"
