If Kidneys Act
Bad Take Salts
Says Backache often means you
have been eating too
much meat.

When you wake up with backache and
dull misery in the kidney region it may
mean you have been eating too much
meat, says a welI-known authority. An
excess of meat may form 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
rheumatic 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 ply
sieian at once, or get from your phar-
macist about four ounces of Jad Salts
take a tablespoonful in glass of water
before 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
iithia. 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 often
ending bladder weakness.
,Jad Salts is inexpensive, can not in
lure, and makes a delightful, efferVescent
iitliia water drink. Drink lots OF soft
water.

MEMORIAL ON RECORD
friends And Fellow Lawyers At
Par Give Testimony Of Fine
Character of J. E. Sheppard

Members of the Americus Bar,
visiting attorneys, and friends of
the deceased in all walks Of life gath
cred at the court house this morning
10 nav the last tribute of respect to
tlo memory Of their brother member
of the bar, J. E. Sheppard, The occas-
ion being the convening of inc Su-
pcrior and City courts to receive a
memorial which a committee, by ap-
continent Of the two courts, mad
prepared for the occasion.
The two courts opened with Judges
z. A. Littlejohn and W. NJ. Harper
presiding jointly. Invocation was
said by Rev. Henry T. Brookshire.
The following memorial was ord
cred spread upon the minutes of
both the Superior and City courts:
BE it resolved that the Court and
members of the Bar in deep sOr-
row and profound regret at the death
of Honorable j. E. Sheppard, and in
memory of his distinguished services,
his standar dof public honor and his
official and personal integrity all
merit acknowledgement. His long
aid distinguished services as member
Of this Bar, as a Representative and
Senator of this state, his great in
tellectual attainments and brilliant
record, his honesty and integrity, his
loyalty of friendship and nobility of
Christian character, hiss illustrious
and successful achievements, make
his name and fame common heritage
of our county and state and enshrine
him in the hearts of the people.
"Be it resolved that the business
of the Court be now suspended and
that opportunity be given for tribute
to his memory, and at the conclusion
of this memorial proceedings, the
Court shall stand adjourned for the
day.
"Be it resolved further that these
Americus times-recorder., 1923-01-20

for use in Americus industrial enter
prises. Another significant note was
sounded by him when he stated
he had recently visited Flint river,
near Americas, in company with a
number of experienced engineers all
of whom had expressed the opinion
that harnessing of the river here for
generating power is entirely feasible.
The idea that Americus could get
along without q Chamber Of Com
merce is ridiculous, he said.
Another subject touched on by M.
Council was the, condition Of the
wood block pavements in Americas
business section. These blocks, he
said, now cost the city in up-keep
expense alone an amount sufficient
to pay interest charges on bond s.
sue sufficient to replace them with
modern vitrifed brick, a paving ma
terial Of proven excellence and long
wearing qualities. Boys he said,
we can put over q little pony bond
issue and replace these unsightly
blocks and never miss the money"
With usual progressiveness he ad-
vccated also, extension of paving in
the residence districts.
Credit Bureau Proposed
Establishment Of q credit bureau
as part of the activities of the Cham
Der of Commerce, first touched upon
by Mr.. Mayer, was endorsed by Mr..
Council most heartily. He told Of
inquiries received by him con-
cerning the standing of a former resi-
dent Of Sumter county, now living in
Orlando, Fla. The party in question
being a man of high integrity and un-
questioned honor, he had found it
possible to give this former Sumter
resident substantial assistance in es-
tabishing himself in a new home com
munity. Had the situation been re-
versed, the Florida Chamber of Com
merce inquiries, might have saved
merchants there being stung to the
tune Of several hundred dollars. "By
all means let a credit bureau be e5-
tablishcd in connection with the
Chamber of Commerce, Mr.. Council
said. His talk, one Of the most in
teresting of the session, was loudly
John W. Shiver, W. w. Dykes,
W. U. Barefeld, Cleve TiIlman, Love
lace Eve, Bill Caye, Frank Harold, C.
j. Clark, and others, also made brief
talks.
Just before adjournment, President
Heys polled those present to ascer-
tain the total of memberships avail
able for 1923, and every man pres
ent was enrolled. A number of busi-
ness houses, as usual took plural
memberships, and the matter of en-
rolling additional members was left
to be worked out by the officers of
the Chamber Of Commerce, they be-
ing asked to organize adequate com.
mittees for handling the task.

L. G. Council Enthuses

He then referred to the coming Of
hydro-electric power to Americus,
bringing out the fact that the Geor-
gia-Alabama Power Company, when
its lines are completed from Albany
here, will deliver 1000 horsepower
at the switchboard in Americas. Re-
ferring then to the fact that the exist
ing steam plant here generates only
400 horsepower, he brought out that
1000 horsepower would be lying idle
