EXPORTS DEFENDED
AS People STARVE
Russian Ships May Take Much
Needed Grain From Country

Moscow. March S.-Rlissian ships
loaded with grain for western Europe
may steam out of soviet harbors at
the same time that American ships,
likewise laden with grain for the Rus
sian famine sufferers, steam into Rus
sian ports, unless present plans of the
soviet government are changed.
The Russian authorities, largely in
terested at this time in the building
up of future agricultural and indus
trial possibilities, anticipate that they
will be able to export even more food
stuffs than they are asking such for
eign organizations as the American
relief administration to import. They
explain the apparent Inconsistencies
of this plan by the statement that the
outgoing foodstuffs are private pro-
perry, and that, to be considered in
their new policy of permitting private
initiative, they cannot confscate this
food for famine needs, even though
they have to request that food be sent
into Russia to prevent thousands OF
deaths from starvation.

DRINK WATER IF
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take a Tablespoonful of Salts If Back
Pains or Bladder Is Irri-
fafef1

Flush your kidneys by drinking a
quart of water each day, also take
salts occasionally, says a noted au-
thority. who tells us that too much
rich food forms acids which almost
paralyze the kidneys in their efforts
to expe it from the blood. They be-
come sluggish and weaken; then you
NAV suffer with a dull misery in the
kidney region, sharp pains in the
hack or sick headache, dizziness. your
stomach sours, tongue is coated, and
when the weather Is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine gets
cloudy, full of sediment the channels
often get sore and irritated, obliging
Won to seek relief two or three times
during the night.
To help neutralize these irritating
acids; to help cleanse the kidneys
and flush off the body's urinous
waste, get four ounces of Jad Salts
fro many pharmacy here. Take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water be-
fore breakfast for few days, and
your kidneys may then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for
years to help flush and stimulate
sluggish kidneys; also to neutralize
the acids in the system so they no
longer irritate, thus often relieving
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure and makes a delightful effer-
yescent Whitewater drink. BY all
means have your physician examine
your kidneys at least twice year.

the packs and the quality of the crop.
The sole reason for this condition is
laid to the drought which has been
with US nearly all summer. The farm
ers who contracted for their crops,
however, received a fair price and
should not suffer a great loss, but
those who depended on a good market
price have undoubtedly suffered SER
iOus loss. In some instances it has
barely paid them to haul their crops
to the canneries. The canning COM
panies cannot hope to make fair
profit out of this seasons pack, either
for there has been so much bad corn
that had to be thrown away. The
Armstrong cannery finished its corn
pack last week and the Baker corn
cannery, of Middletown, wound up its
season on Thursday. The tomato
packs are about done. One or two can
neries in this section intend to close at
the end of this week. The others will
surely be closed by the middle OF

Town Authorities Take Prompt Action
to Place Blame for Recent Fires There
Milford Town Council took prompt
action following the blaze over Smith
& Hurley's store recently by putting
detectives on the job, with the idea of
learning definitely who had fired the
structure, if it was possible so to
learn. A Burns detective arrived in
Milford last week and Immediately
started to gather evidence as to the
probable origin of the fire. Several
suspicious circumstances were connec-
ted with the blaze, but it was hard to
fasten the blame upon any one per-
son.
On Saturday evening Deputy At
tOrney General Robert G. Houston, of
Georgetown, was called to Milford by
the town authorities and asked to take
part in the investigation being made.
A number of persons were summoned
to appear before him, and they were
asked to tell what they had seen on
the night of the fire. Several members
of the Carlisle Fire Company said
that they were convinced that the
blaze was of incendiary origin, as die
Mr.. Asbury Smith, senior member Of
the firm of Smith & Hurley. A. C
Houston, owner of the fruit and con
fectiOnery store, was also questioned
at length as to his opinion of tht
blaze. He said that so far as he knew
