PRESIDENT COOLIDGE
JOINS THE CHURCH
BECAME MEMBER OF CONGRE-
GATIONAL CHURCH AT CAP
ITAL ON AUGUST >5TH.

Although known by his friends for
many years to have lived Christian
life and to have attended church with
consistent regularity, President Cool
idge only recently became church
member. He is now identified with
the First Congregational church at
Washington, his membership dating
from August 5, the first Sunday of his
administration 1t was on that day
that Mr.. Coolidge accepted the invita-
ton of his pastor, Rev. DR.. Jason
Noble Pierce, publicly to confess his
faith by partaking of holy commun-
ion. Rev. DIR. Pierce, however, did
not invite him to join the church at
that time because of the conviction
that political opponents might have
regarded it as done in an effort to OBJ
tain the votes ard support of church
people This, it is understood, was
Mr.. Coolidge's own conviction.
At the national council OF Congre-
gational churches in Springfield, Mas
sachusetts, held some time later, the
/ 500 delegates in attendance unani-
mous1y elected President Coolidge to
the office of honorary moderator
which was the highest office possible
of bestowal. Rev. DR.. Pierce tele-
graphed Mr.. Coolidge, asking him tc
unite with the Washington church
The invitation was accepted and the
church voted to date his membership
from August 5th.

Have Kidneys
Examined By
Your Doctor
Take Salts to Wash Kidneys If
Back Pains You or Bladder
Bothers

Flush your kidneys by drinking a
quart of water each day, also take salts
occasionally, says a noted authority, who
tells us that too much rich food forms
acids which almost paralyze the kidneys
in their efforts to eXpel 1t from the
blood. They become sluggish and
weaken; then you may suffer with a
dull misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in the back or sick headache, dizzi-
ness, your stomach sours, tongue is
coated, and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The urine
gets cloudy, full of sediment, the chan
nels often get sore and irritated, obliging
you 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 from any phar-
macy here; take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for a
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; can not in
jure and makes a delightful etferves-
cent lithia-water drink. By all means
have your physician examine your kid
neys at least twice year.

tract" Mr.. Vauclain said, 81 have kept
my part Of it, and my doctor has kept

weeks, and have guided myself entire
ly by the doctors instruction. In that
time I have not lost day from bust
ness, nor have I been i'll in any way

BEGGARS SWARM
IN BERLIN STREETS
HUNDREDS GATHER D AILY
FOR CAN OF VEGETABLE
SOUP. FAINT ON STREET.

BERLIN.-The beggars of Berlin
are swarming on the streets. In every
block one meets broken old men and
pallid women begging money. The
street sellers of matches have more
than doubled in the last few days and
the doleful music of blind and crippled
orchestras sounds through alleys and
court yards.
Old women have taken to standing
before delicatessens and big restau-
rants so they can beg patrons for food,
but in most cases the proprietors
have them chased away.
Faints From Hunger in Church.
In busy subway entrances one is
forced to run gauntlet OF beggars OF
both sexes, reduced to the last stages
of misery, but standing all day long
moaning and pleading for worthless
marks.
Men and women frequently faint
from hunger, on crowded streets. The
sight has become so common around
Alexander Platz, where many poor
families live, that people scarcely halt
when a young man or girl, white-taced
and blue-lipped, leans against build
ing and then sinks to the pavement.
A few gather, but most OF the pedes-
trians hurry on.

the American church services Sunday
so as to improve his command OF Eng
lish tainted during the sermon.
Every day now at 1850 O'Clock
members of the Salvation Army come
to Alexander Platz with an old army
field kitchen full of hot soup. The
hungry people begin to gather by 9
O'Clock, the weaker ones bringing
folding chairs, invalids and the blind
being pushed by their friends in wheel
chairs. Old and young form a line
that grows until. at 1880 O'Clock, il
is a block long and the benches OF
the park plaza are full OF people
equally hungry, but too proud or toe
weak to stand III line. With the field
kitchen come three women and two
men in Salvation Army uniforms. The
women take off their cloaks, put on
white aprons, while the men open
the iron kettle, releasing clouds OF
steam fragrant from the soup, made
of cabbage and barley.
Police Detail Unnecessary.
AS the men stir the soup mob
soon gathers, but there is no need
of the police to keep order. Hundreds
drop contributions in the wagon
used by the Salvation Army. While
the more fortunate, though hungry
themselves, stand back, the members
of the ragged crowd who had waited
through the chilly morning file by
in a pathetic procession, getting tin
cans of soup for their only hot meal
of the day.
These are the really hungry Of Ber-

PUTNAM MAN GAINING FAME
 THROUGH VIOLINS HE MAKES
JOHN A. MORSE BEGINS WORK ON BOOTH INSTRUMENT. FASHIONED FIRST ONE MORE THAN
 FORTY YEARS AGO
Those Who Use His Vons Assert They Supass Even the Great
 Masters.-Scores of Musicians So Testify

To have made a violin with ones own hands is one thing, but to be ac- tually engaged at the present time in fashioning ones 200th violin. is dis tinctly another thing Such is the unique situation in which John A. Morse of PIG South Main street, Put nam, finds himself, and it is a position that not only affords him opportunity to indulge himself in his greatest hob by, but to turn his spare moments into cash.
 This violin making business, for such it has been with him, as side line" for many years, was inspired by friend of Mir. Morse, years ago, who had made a violin and freely boasted about it in the neigtborhood. In those days Mir. Morse had gained local public attention through his musical ability, exemplified by his violin play ing. Having time hanging heavily up- on him, he set to work and after weeks of painstaking effort finished his first violin.
 This initial instrument did not please him in any way. It's tone was

quickly completed and was a better in- strument in all ways. When it soon found an unsolicited purchaser, Mir. Morse started to create another, and from then on his spare time was lit orally lone violin after another. ," Long before he finished his 199th vio- lin a friend had spoken for the goth, that he might have this distinction. and from present indications it won't be many weeks before his wish is grat- flied.
 Putnam's champion violin maker was born at Woodstock Hill and lived there until moving to Putnam 33 years ago. He is graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston. where he studied violin and organ. Soon after completing his course, he decided upon career in the show business, and travelled for quite time with a pianoforte com panv At Kennebunk, Me, Mir. Morse's show life ambitions were rude ly crushed, for while in that place the manager skipped town, leaving the company flat and most of its members broke financially. Thus sickened of the life he was leaving, Mir. Morse re- turned to his parents at Woodstock Hill. and shortly afterward was made postmaster by Uncle Sam.
