Help Kidneys
By Drinking
More Water
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys and
Help Neutralize lrri-
tating Acids

Kidney and bladder irritations often
result from acidity, says a noted au-
thority. The kidneys help filter this
acid from the blood and pass it on to
the bladder, where it may remain to
scalding sensation, or setting up an irri-
tation at the neck of the bladder, oblig-
ing you to seek relief two or three
times during the night. The sufferer
in constant dread; the water passes
sometimes with a scalding sensation and
is very profuse; again, there is difti-
Guilty in voiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call it
because they can't control urination:
While it is extremely annoying and
sometimes very painful, this is often
one of'the most simple ailments to over
come. Begin drinking lots of soft water,
also get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from YOUR pharmacist and take table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast. Continue this for two or
three DAYS. This will help neutrahze
the acids in the system so they no longer
are a source of irritation to the bladder
and urinary organs, which then act nor
NAL again.
lad Salts is Inexpensive, and is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon Juice
combined with lithia, and is used by
thousands of folks who are subject tc
urinary disorders caused by acid irri'
tation. Jad Salts causes no bad effect:
whatever.
Here YOU have a pleasant, efferves'
cent lithia-water drink which may
quickly relieve your bladder irritation
Bv ali means have your physician exam

TWO PERSONS INJURED.
A Broken Limb and an Injured Head
at Salesville Tuesday

Harry Overstreet was injured at
the sawmill on Spanish creek Tues
day. He was engaged in moving the
engine when the shed came down on
him. Fortunately the tinbers were
partly supported by some things the
shed fell upon, and thus Mr.. Over
street was saved from instant death.
AS it was, he was quite severely hurt,
a two by four scantling having been
broken over his head.
A daughter of Thomas Lay, about
II years of age, had one of her legs
broken a few days ago. While com
ing down from the West Gallatir
basin, the horse she was riding
stumbled and fell upon her, breaking
her leg.

Lost His Handsome Span of Black
Mares

The Rev. George Comfort dropped
into the Courier office few minutes
on Saturday last, just long enough
to let US know that on returning
from his trip through the park his
horses had mysteriously left the
camp, a short distance from Mann
moth Springs. After hunting for his
animals for several days, he con-
cluded they must have struck out
for the vicinity of Twin Bridges,
where they were raised. They are a
span Of handsome black mares, about
six years old, well matched, gentle,
and weight about 900 pounds each.
If Mr.. Comfort has not received
them, he will pay literally for their
return to him at Twin Bridges, OF

This provides for a tax levy of

Heavy Taxes and What We Get fOr

The city, county, and school dis
trict Eaxes this year aggregate for
the residents and property holders
within the city limits % mills on the

levy, IA; county levy, 91z; city levy,
9; special school, mills. This means
$3.50 on every 500 Of assessed valu-
alton, or $23 out Of every $1,000 of
assessed valuation. The more un-
productive a property q person has
this year, the worse he is off. But

A COMMISSION TO TELL US

The Nation has an annual bill for
around two billions Of dollars ex-
pended on education. Efficiency
experts at Washington conclude this
needs their attention. AS a matter
of fact there is a disposition in that
quarter to take over the schools OF
the country and not only manage
them but prescribe what they SHAH
teach and standardiZe it after the
manner of a wood block mill. for
instance. however the country has
not vet arrived at that view point
and we hope 1t will be long time
before it does, If ever.
It does seem reasonable that the
Government might be of service
through one of it's many bureaus.
which it seems we have got to pay
for whether there be anything for
them to do. 1t would be in a position
TO consider the situation dispas-
sionately and in the light of a vast
lot Of data, which it would be
enabled to collect. Already there Is
National Commission on Economy
and Efficiency of the Business
Administration Of School Systems"
With a name like that who knows
what might happen to the ineff1-
Siency that may be involved in the
expenditures of the two billions for
our schools? Anyhow it announces
that it stands ready-and presum-
ably anxious-to establish "funda-
mental principles of good business
management in the administration Of
all school systems"
This commission has been appoint
ed by the joint action of Secretary
of Commerce Hoover, Secretary of
Interior Work and DR.. Frank W.
Balou, president of the department
of superintendent of the National
Education Association, good men and
apparently capable of appointing a
capable commission. A comparison
of presented day methods of school
administration with the practices In
vogue in large industrial and com
ruercial esta blishments will be made
From such comparison it hopes to
point out economies which might be
effected without depreciation of the
quality of education given. Some
thing ought to come of this. The
taxpayer is spending a lot of money
for education and should get his
moneys worth. Economies in adj
ministration would leave more for
other features of the work which
need even more than now is avail
able
