Salts Fine for
Aching Kidneys
When Back Hurts Flush Your
Kidneys as You Clean
Your Bowels

Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels, sometimes get sluggish
and clogged and need flushing occa-
sioually. else we have baekache and dull
misery i'm the kidney region, severe
headaches. rheumatic twiuges, torpid
liver, acid stomach, sleeplessness and
all sorts OF bladder disorders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney
region begin drinking lots of water.
Also get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any good drug store here, take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water be-
fore breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon Juice, combined with lithia,
and is intended to flush clogged kid
neys and help stimulate them to activ-
ity 1t also helps neutralize the acids
in the urine so they no, longer irritate,
thus helping to relieve bladder dis
orders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; makes a
delightful effervescent lithia water drink
which everybody should take now and
then to help keep their kidneys clean.
A well-known local druggist says he
sells lots OF Jad Salts TO folks who be-
ieve in trying to correct kidney trouble
while it is only trouble. BY all means
have your physician examine your kid
neys at least twice a year,

Tragedy of Rebellion Found in
Widows and Orphans Made
BY War in Tiny Country
$4,000 MEN ARE ENGAGED
Church Altar Dyed With Blood
Of Fighters Making Last
Stand There


TEGUCIGALPA. Honduras, May
19.-War in Honduras joke il
it were not a tragedy to those wild
ows and orphans left behind.
Government troops or revolu-
tionists-it matters not.
Their guns-single-shot rifles Of
ancient vintage, the favorite calibre
Z or II nm.
Even old muzzle-loaders are to
be seen.
Mixed in with these are those
proud warriors staggering along
with Thompson machine guns
those ultra-modern weapons of
45-calibre designed especially for
hand-to-hand fighting.
And your true Honduranian loves
his hand-to-hand fight
He feels there is some satisfac-
ton in life if he can wipe out his
enemy in close combat.
He enters into battle with his
rifle in his hand, but swinging from
his wrist is his machete.
In two days fighing he took the
town. The last stand Of the gov
eminent troops was in the church.
The altar is dyed red with the
blood Of the 10 who fell there I'M
der the machetes of Ferrera's In
dams.
The roof is scarlet with the blood
Of those who died under the knives
of the Indians, even though they
swept the onrushing ranks with two
machine guns.
Engaged in the civil war in Hon
duras are about 10000 men.
As there is usually one general
to every so men in a Honduranian
force, it can readily be figured
out that there were some 240 gen
erals engaged.
The best statistics available show
that some 5000 men have been
killed in the fighting.
And General Cardona and Cid
are the only two generals to win
fame in the present mix-up by be-
ing killed in battle.
Which would seem to indicate tia
it is 30 times safer to be a general
in Honduras than to be a private
soldier.
To the stranger in Honduras, the
most startling thing about a Hon.
duranian battle is the bowling Of
the Indians taking part in it.
My first experience of battle in
this country was the futile attacI; Of

The attack began at 4 a. m.

roar Of the rifles and machine guns
rose on the air.
The flashes Of the guns stabbed
through the darkness Of the night.
The splitting of the rifles was
continuous The sharp, staccato, re-
ports of the machine guns sound
ed like some immense riveting ma
chine in action.
But high above everything

the fighting Indians.
1t seemed as if all the coyotes
in the world had gathered in front
Of Cepile-as if hell, itself hat
opened wide its gates to spew forth
a horde of demons.
It is not every day that one car

Yet such was the experience OIL

Semi-MonthIy Condition and
Progress Reports to Be Made
By Dept. During Season

ATLANTA. May 19.-Semi-
MONTHLY reorts as to condition, pro-
gress and probable production of
cotton are to be issued by the Crop
Reporting Board of the United
States Department of Agriculture
as provided by Senate Bill 2112
signed by President Coolidge May 8
according to reports received here.
The reports are to be issued stint
ultaneously with the cotton ginningI
reports of the Bureau of Census
Release dates of the cotton re-
ports this year are as follows:
July 2; July 81; August 8, Au-
gust %; September 8. September
%; October 8; October Is; Novem-
Der 8: November 81, and December
8. The reports will relate to acre
age and condition as of the first
and fifteenth of the month, except
that on July 2 which will be as Of
June 25. Heretofore, cotton re-
ports related to the twenty-fifth OF
the preceding month.
The legislation provides no funds
lor the five additional reports it is
stated. The question of additional
funds is now under consideration
by the director of the budget. If
additional money cannot be obta n
ed, the department feels that it
will be necessary to drop several
other lines of crop reporting work
so that funds and personnel may be
transferred to the cotton states, it is
pointed out.
