they become overworked, get sluggish,
clog up and cause all sorts of distress,
particularly backache and misery in

good water and also get about four
ounces OF Jad Salts from any good
pharmacy; 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 nthia, and has
been used for years to flush clogged
kidneys and stimulate them to activ-

CRIME. STILL TAKES ITS
TOLL

The elder Franks creates a
trust fund to keep in prison the
youths, who killed his son; the
elder Loeb dies, surrounding to
the bitter aftermath of disgrace.
So the grinning genius of this
crime still twists the screws, and
those associated with it are warp
ed by hatred, by shame. With
most crime we go through an
agony which, nevertheless, when
it is over, leaves a sense of re-
lief. But this was no ordinary
crime. There was. an imbecile
sinister Flavor in it from 1.-THE
start; on the one hand death and
three stricken families. on the
other hand a pair of boys chat
tering about a fine joke. The
blight is still on it. The end, no
doubt, is still not in sight.-New

There l.@s been dispute as to the
place and date of the first school

the children of Pierre Grignon, oc-
cupied a position more like that

"Post schools" so called, which
were established at the frontier
forts maintained by the government
of the United States, furnished in
struction to children of officers, sol
diers and nearby civilian residents
who chose to avail themselves of
the privilege. These a existed in
1917 at Fort Crawford, in 1924 at
Fort Howard, and in 1928 or there
about at Fort Winnebago.
After the post school at Prairie
du Chem, came the school set up
at Green Bay under theaauspics of
Eleazar Williams. This was school
for whites, Indians, and halfbreeds

many as fifty. At first it was in

NEW PROBLEM IN CON-
CRFSS

Congress has new problem -
what to do with the radical mem
bers who formed a new party
and are now in deep grief. A mes.
sage from Washington says:
The radical bloc led by Senator
La Toilette, which definitely took
itself out of the Republican party
in the last election by creating the
Progressive party and opposing
Republican candidates, will be
considered as representatives Of
new party in the Sixty-ninth
congress.
Senator Walsh OF Indiana, said
that Senators La Follettee and all
those who read themselves out of
the party would lose their places
on committees upon reorganization
of the Sixty-ninth congress. Sem
ator Smoot, Utah, on the other
hand, is disposed to leave the re-
calcitrants alone and hopes by
doing so to win them back to the
party. This policy of compromise
is not expected to be followed as
the disposition in the senate and
house is to treat them as mem
bers of the Progressive party and
give them committee assignments
in proportion to their strength.
William S. Ware, of Philadel,
phia, with Sc Republican mem
bers from Pennsylvania behind
him, proposes that the old time
caucus shall be revived in order
to compel party action and elm
mate blocs from the legislative
halls. He proposes that the Re-
publican caucus of the house in
the Sixty-ninth. congress should
bind themselves in an agreement
to eliminate blocs.

CONCRETE ROADS

Many counties in the state are
building concrete roads where
there are main lines of travel,
They are expensive to construct
but save in maintenance, make
possible greater speed, save gaso-
line, reduce the wear on car,
and are easier on the occupants of
machines. Concrete surfaced with
brick is perhaps the most desirable
of all types of roads thus far con-
structed but for several reasons
concrete highways are preferred.
In Sank county there are but
two places where this type of
road has been constructed, the
Warner Memorial road and a
short distance in Fairfield. Since
most types of roads are in con-
slant need of repairs it would be
well for the county to begin the
construction of concrete highways,
especially on numbers II and 49,,
the two roads which carry the
greatest amount Of travel. II
would be we'll for the highway
committee and county board to
consider a move toward begin
ming of more permanent type Of
road than gravel, crushed rock or
