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 q well-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 good, reliable ply
stefan at once, or get from your phar-
macist about four ounces of Jad Salts
take 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
lithia, and has been used for generations
to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize acids in the urine
n it no longer irritates, thus often
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, can not In
jure, and makes a delightful, effervescent
litha water drink. Drink lots of soft
water.

$4,000 Persons Died
By Suicide Last Year
In the United States
Figures Made Public by the Statisti-
clan of Large Life Insurance
Company. Number Appalling.

More than $4,000 persons committed
suicide in this country last year,
greater number than ever before, de
calred DIR. Frederick L. Hoffman, con-
sulting statistician of the Prudential
Life Insurance Company OF America,
in an analysis OF suicides in 1921:
ITO an increasing extent" said the
report, the facts and circumstances
are deliberately confused to make the
verdict of death from accident the
only alternative In majority OF cas-
es. however, the surrounding circum-
stances are suggestive OF deliberately
planned self-murder.
Gases of accidental poisoning ''ac,,
cidental falls and accidental shooting
are becoming more prevalent.
But the most appalling aspect OF
the present day suicide problem IS the
recurring frequency with which others
are drawn into the tragedy of murder
and under conditions which are ire
quently revolving"

QUEER RELIGIOUS SECT
LIVES ON AN ISLAND
THE FLYING ROLLERS NEVER
SHOOT SQUIRRELS OR GO
FISHING. SHARE EQUAL.

So kind hearted that they chase the
SQUIRRELS away from their crops rather
than shoot them, and absolutely re-
fuse to catch the fish which abound in
the waters surrounding their homes,
the Flying Rollers, a peculiar religious
sect, have established little commun-
ity on High island, in the middle OF
Lake Michigan, near ST. James, Mich.
Too many wives and the resulting
prosecutions of sheriffs and district at
torneys caused the Flying Rollers to
shake the-dust of Michigan from their
feet and make homes on High island:
High island is heavily timbered, and
that is the source of the exiles' living.
All Dress Scantily.
Men and women alike dress scanti-
w. Virtually every member Of the col
ony is more than SO years old, and
there are no children. Men dress only
in overalls, and the women are scarce
ly ever seen. They are but little bet
ter than cattle, visitors to the island
say.
The men are taciturn in the ex-
IRENE, rarely ever speaking to one an
other as they go about their work
There is no boss and no regular hours.
Despite these conditions the work goes
on with remarkable smoothness.
LAUNDERING is the chief occupation
of the men of the group. They ship
many boat loads of lumber and by
products from the island every year.
All the money is turned over to the
king, Benjamin Purnell, who keeps
no accounts. There is no money in cir
culation on the island, everything be-
ing done on a community sharing plan.
Vegetables make up the food OF the
Flying Rollers. A 100-acre farm pro
vides food for the whole group and
also gives a surplus that is shipped
across the lake. Every section OF the
island is spotlessly clean and in per-
feet order.

A romantic superstition has earned
for Norfolk island, in the Pacihc
ocean, the nickname OF Honeymoon
Island" 1t is believed that if the first
month of married life is spent there
the couple concerned will enjoy long
life, health, wealth and happiness
Without this legend it would be an
ideal place for a honeymoon, Tor 1t has
been called the most beautiful spot on
earth.
This earthly paradise started its ca
reer as a convict station The history
Of those early days is tale of horror.
Ruins of the famous silent cells" are
still to be seen.
These cells, made of concrete, four
feet thick, were just large enough to
enable a man to stand up or lie down.
On the walls can be seen the prayers
carved by convicts. Known as the
tombs," the silent cells provided the
worst form of punishment, and those
confined in them rarely came out sane.

GOV. RICHIE SOUNDS
DISCORDANT NOTE
ONLY ONE AT WHITE HOUSE
DINNER OPPOSED TO MORE
RIGID ENFORCEMENT.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-With on
ly one dissenting voice raised Presi.
dent Harding, Attorney General
Daugherty, Prohibition Commissioner
HAYNES and the governors of IS states
agreed at the recent conference in
Washington on the adoption of meas
ures necessary to a more rigid en-
forcement of the Nolstead act.
The sole note of discord was sound
ed by Gov. Richie, of Maryland
which has no prohibition enforcement
law, and, according to the governor,
will not submit to the Volstead law.
He denounced the prohibition law as
an into1erable extension OF paternal-
ism in contravention OF state rights,
which he urged the states to reassert
Enthusiastically.
The defects in prohibition enforce
ment, which the conference agreed
must be remedied, were cited as FOL
lows:
/. Federal prohibition officers, now
numbering 1000, are not sufficiently
numerous to cope with the evasion OF
the law.
2. In many instances federal Off
GERS are political henchmen who wink
at violations.
3. Until the national government
stamps out interstate rum running"
state enforcement will be difficult.
4. State enforcement laws in many
states are too lax.
5. Federal judges are too lenient in
sentencing offenders.
6. The metropolitan press is too

with levity. b..
Three Wet Governors Absent.
The governors were the guests Of
Mr.. Harding at a luncheon at the
white house and remained four hours
about the table discussing ways and
means of tightening up the admins
tration of the Volstead act The gov
errors of Illinois, New Jersey and
New York, which voted wet in the
recent election, were conspicuous by
their absence. Mr.. Harding, thanking
the governors for the benefit of their
experience, said he would call anoth-
err conference this year, including
new governors, to map out definite
plan of federal and state cooperation
The president and the attorney gen.
eral were emphatic in declaring for
more stringent enforcement. Mr..
Harding repeated the alarm for the
future of the republic with which he
has been imbued by the spectacle Of
the national scandal of bootlegging
and moonshining and conformation of
law violation by otherwise respectable
citizens. All the governors present,
with the exception of the Maryland
executive, agreed with Mr.. Harding.
