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

Flush your kidneys by drinking
quart of water each day, also take
salts occasionally, says a noted au-
thority, who tells us that too much
rich food forms acids which almost
paralyze the kidneys in their effort
to expell it from the blood. They be-
come sluggish and weaken; then
you may suffer with a dull misery
in the kidney region, sharp pains in
the back or sick headache, dizziness,
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you
have rheumatic twinges. The urine
gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irritated,
ebliging you to seek relief two or
three times during the night.
To help neutralize these irritating
acids, to help cleanse the kidneys and
flush of the bOdy's urinous waste, get
four ounces of Jad Salts from any
pharmacy here; take teaspoonful
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
and has been used for years to help
flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys;
also to neutralize the acids the acids
in the system so they no longer irri-
tate, thus often relieving bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; can not
injure and makes a delightful effer-

Labor men, who have studied the

point out that the investigation Of

among a population of poorly paid,
unorganized workers and that quite
different conclusions would undonbt-
edly be derived from an investigation
of the economic status of well-paid

fathers end mothers had. Free pri-
mary and high schools. free colleges
and universities, scholarships for the
talented are open to them. IL their
parents can afford to send them to
school.
While this great advance has been
made for all children, it is for the boy
and girl who is forced to 60 to work
Immediately after finishing the pri-
mary school that labor has been most
concerned. In the last sixty years the
New York State Federation Of Labor
has sponsored and supported, in addi-
ton to night schools for workers, bet
ter salaries for teachers, compulsory
school attendance, State Scholarship
for the best students, and vocational
education. Schools have been made
so attractive that the old evil Of
truancy has almost vanished.
But the reform in which labor takes
greatest pride and in which it desires
to see the greatest development is the
continuation school for working boys
and girls. This was provided for by
the law of 1909, and It guarantees
that all girls in the State shall receive
a complete education in the essentials.
The law provides for minimum
weekly schooling in elementary and
vocational subjects for boys and girls,
between the ages Of IA and II, who
are forced to quit school to 60 to
work.

Education Of PrimaY Importance

tanned in the minutes of the first gem
eral meeting of the Philadelphia
Workingmen's Party, composed of del
egates from the trade unions of that
city, held August II, 1926, urging that
a system of education be adopted that
would assure adequate schooling to
workers children. A year later the
New York City Workingmen's Party
resolved "that the public funds should
be appropriated to the purpose of ed
ucation, upon regular system that
should insure the opportunity to every
individual of obtaining a competent
education before he shall have arrived

Thousands of boys and girls are
compelled by necessity to leave the
day schools to become workers when
they have no adequate preparation
for their job OF any job. We ask
a square deal for these children.
The majority of them find jobs in
the most haphazard way. They drift
with circumstance. They urgently
need moral and vocational guidance.
Ninety per cent of them have physical
defects. They need instruction and
training in hygiene. In the interests
of democracy, in the interests of eff
cient industry and increased prosper
ity, these children should be better
trained for their future responsibility.
These schools are different from the
others because the children attend at
least four hour a week during the
day, on the employers time. In addi-
ton to cultural subjects, they get
training in their particular job. So
interested is organized labor in this
that the most highly developed of our
unions, the building trades, are com
polling their apprentices to go to
school and get passing marks in all
subjects.
Why is labor so keen about educa-
ton? Because it is hurt, as is society,
by the half-educated, the poorly
equipped mechanics, the moron in in
dustry. Labor, like industry, can only
gain when workers know their jobs
thoroughly, by an intelligent rank and
file that understands its responsible

overtake him. This period of poverty
will last perhaps for 10 years, i. e.,
until the first child is Id years old and
begins to earn wages; but if there are
more than three children it may last
longer. While the children are earn
ing, and before they leave home to
marry, the man enjoys another period
of prosperity-possibly, however, only
to sink back again into poverty when
his children are married and left

Among the tributes that future his
torians will pay to the part that work
ers played in the history of America
will be their insistance, from Colo
NAL times, that the children of the
poor be provided with schools by the
state. While it is evident that eco
nomic prosperity for the head of the
family is necessary so that his child
rem may go to school instead of the
factory, there must be public schools
for the children of workers to go to.
Not only free schools, for rich and
poor, but high schools and colleges
are providing free education to our
children today.
The modern conception of e free
tax-supported, compulsory system Of
education has resulted from the cham.
pionship Of this democratic idea by or
ganized labor. Daniel Webster echoed
the views of organized labor when he
said:
"Open the doors of the schoolhouse
to all the children of the land. Let
no man have the excuse for poverty
for not educating his offspring. Place
the means of education within his
reach, and if he remain in ignorance
be it his own reproach. On the diff
usion of education among the people
rests the preservation and perpet-
uation of our free institutions"
Education Week just closed, was
participated in by organized labor in
every city and State because no group
in society is more interested in the
training if youth, in modern, we'll
equipped. public schools. Labor is moi
a new convert to education, for it was
a pioneer in laying the foundation for
our present admirable sustem of pub.
lie education.

Our present wonderful public
school system is taken as a matter
of course today, but the corner stones
were laid nearly one hundred years
ago, when education was the privi-
lege only for the well to do, and the
right of suffrage was restricted to
the few. The masses were compelled
to get along as best they could. Nat
urally, the desire for a better OPP
portunity for their children came from
the workers. It was fitting that or
gained labor should take the initia-
tive to promote the public school sys-
tenn.
