SALTS FINE FOR

Most folks forget tEut the kidneys like the bowels, get sluggish and cloggod and need a flushing occa- sionally, else we have backachc and dull misery in the kidney region, severe headaches, rheumatic twinges torpid liver. acid stomach, slcepless- ness and all sort of bladder disor- dcrs.
 You simply must keep your kid ncys active and clean. and inc mo- ment you feel narhe or pain in the kidney region. get about four ounces of lad Salts from any good drug store here. take n tablespoon full in a glass of water before break fast for a few days and your kid neys will then act fine. This fam ous salts is made from the acid Of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lthia, and is harmless 10 flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity. It also helps neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus helping to relieve bladder disorders
 lad Salts is harmless: ineXpen- sive; makes a delightful efferyescent litha water drink which everybody should take now and then to help keep their kidneys clean.
 A well-knoTn local druggist says he sells lots of lad Salts 10 folks who believe in trying to correct kid ney trouble while it is only trouble.

 Naturally such q law cmbodics everything included in the Wheeler enforcement bill in the Connecticut legislature and great deal in ad- dition which public opinion in Con- nccticut would not care to have enacted into law
 But in contemplating such a law us passed in Indiana, the natural question is, will 1t work? Will the 'woalthy patron Of the bootlcggcr' be denied his liquor, or will it merely result in higher price for liquor, commensurate with the increased hazards Of the business? Will there be more arrests, fines and imprison- mcnt of the wealthy customers of bootlcggcrs, or will the custom of soaking" the patrons Of cheaper moonshine and virtually ignoring the others continue to prevail?
 Of course, 1t will altogether de- pend upon the enforcement officers i and the police departments. And these probably are no better in h. diana than anywhere else.

COMPARATIVE VALUE OF BUSINESS SITES

The mercantile community evil dcntly has taken the decision of a store 10 move from west of the Center to site on Main street, be- tween Church street and the rail- road, 10 mean that the trend of bus mess is in that direction, But mcrc- ly because such an establishment prefers to move 10 such q location is not positive proof that business is being dislocated in the downtown section.
 There have been stores at the site chosen from time immemorial, and they have been successful establish- ments, but not more so than others situated elsewhere, all things con- sidered. In selecting site, much de- bends upon the character of busi- ness to be done; and in the case of the store which will move it is ap- parent that the new location is sup posed to be Of easier access to the type of trade it is desired 10 reach To be located at a spot where the largest number of people pass is not necessary in all lines of business.
 AS 10 the advantages of the western side of the Center compared with the eastern side, there might be a diversity of opinion. One side may be good for some classes of business and the opposite side for other types. The fact that trolley cars do not stop to let off passengers on the western side of the Center might work to it's disadvantage. and if this is really thought an evil the plan might be romedicd.

A LARGER CITY, MORE POLICE

The population of New Britain is now 70,O0o. The city has police force Of less than one policeman for every 1000 inhabitants. Some cities have a police force Of one patrolman for every 500 inhabitants; indeed. there are students of municipal gov crnment-"experts" perhaps who claim that 1t requires the latter proportion 10 insure alright police protection, and that if this ratio were universally followed crime would be materially Iessened.
 There may be a difference of opinion as to whether additions are Required upon the police force of this city. The urge for economy has prevented such additions being made in the past few years. This year 15 new patrolmen were deemed ncces- SalS DuG iOI dubCu' ldoI Std4 ]" AlNN officers were thought essential but not granted. The police force re- mains as it has been for some years, with approximately G5 men all told. with 56 of this number on the street
 The principle & letting well enough alone obtains for the pres ent, but there is very little likelihood that the city can do with its pres ent complement of men in the very near future. The population of the city is increasing more rapidly than the average, and it is illogical to assume that the eame-sized police force can maintain that law and order which it is the desire of all citizens to have maintained. Even now some parts of the city evidently cannot be given the kind Of police service they would like.

COLD STORAGE EGGS AS "TRESH"

Cold storage eggs are parasitce upon the New England poultry in- lustry. They come from the western packing houses-or storage plants controlled by the packing interests and when they reach the ultimate consumers in this tior of states they look just like native eggs and in many instances are marked fresh" Z"
 According to one witness before legislative committee, housewives usually do not know whether fresh eggs are really fresh until the shells are broken. But in many instances they pay just as much for cold storage fresh eggs as for fresh native eggs,
 Two years ago the Connecticut Poultry Association made an investi- gation in one Connecticut city and reports it found 1O4 dealers selling so- called fresh eggs from cold stor- age crates.
 Nobody Of course objects 10 the sale of storage eggs as such; but the business of selling them as gen. uino fresh product is a trade prac- tice that should be prevented by law There is a bill before the Lcgis- lature having this end in view, but there is many q slip between bill | and a law

COOPERATION NEEDED
 TO SAVE LIFE

No effort in recent years has re- ceived more widespread approval than that of the Department of Commerce. under the aegis Of Secrc- tary Hoover. in attempting 10 se- cure the cooperation of state and municipal authorities in a nation wide campaign to cut down automo- bile fatalities. Nobody is in favor of an automobile accident, but all together too many have been idonu- 0nI with them; consequently any concerted scheme to reduce their total receives opposition from mo- where and cooperation by every organization feeling all urgo within itself to he of practical value 10 the community.
 It is for this reason that safety councils arc being formed in numer- ous cities. IL is declared by the "srncring committed Of the National Conference on Street and Highway Safety, formation Of which was drought about through the efforts of Secretary Hoover that rigid enforce mont of existing traffic laws will do more than anything else 10 reduce i the rate of automobile accidents. | Secretary Hoover added hat already two purposes Of the Department of rommrrce in the matter had been attained: Focusing Of public att"n- ton on the high rate Of accidents, and preparation Of a national pro- gram of accident prevention through various organizations and safety councils, which it is hoped 10 es- tablish in every city and town.
 The results Of the campaign so far are already compelling. In gS large cities. where concerted action fol- lowed the Department Of Commerce recommendations. the percentage Of fatalities has been radically cut, ir somo places as high as &5 per cent If this much can be achieved as Q beginning 1t is clear that accident prevention is not a chimcrical dream but can be made a reality. II is addi' tional evidence that New Britain where automobile accidents baNt been low compared with som" cities can with profit enter the lists o' those cooperating with this effective branch Of he national government

Ono on the Fishing Club
By Dr. Walter F. Traprock

By Dr. Walter E. Traprock
 In the spring of '9S l bet the president of the La Tuque Fishing club. in the province of Quebec. $1,O00 that in four days could catch every fish in the Big Lake without using rod, reel, hook, line, or net. He took me up, of course.
 My method was simplicity itself. From Emile Blanchet, the head forester of the region, l procured three sticks of dynamite in exchange for a package of cigarettes.
 set off my dynamite at the edge of the dam of the lake, blowing a ten-foot hole in the rim through which the water naturally flowed. The time was early May when, as every fisherman knows, all game fish swim up stream. AS the lake dwindled the trout fought madly 10 keep in the diminishing water course. At the end of the third day all that remained of the lake was a thread of water seven miles long. covered by a mound of gasping trout. Driving over the lake bottom in a truck l gathered up the fish in a shovel and the wager was on.
 The rich part of the incident is this: It had cost the club $20,0o0 10 stock the lake and they could not hope for another generation of trout for three years at the least. Consequently all the members re- signed in a body. In addition, there was the cost of rebuilding the dam, about 5000. l do not recall the exact figures, but I know that the president and I had hearty laugh over it afterward.
 Tt was a good one on us. Walter. II he said. "and it came near being the last one, too."
