THE men who wanted to save life
and could not are bigger men than
those who held them back for the
sake of a rule" asserts the Albany
Evening News, which records with
pleasure that 1.-The one divine instinct,
to save life, exists among men who
have broken the rules made by men"
The Nashville Banner declares that ''it
most of us had to make the choice,
probably we would prefer to be the
prisoners who ragged at being held inn
potent while others died rather than
the guards who used loaded rifles to
prevent life from being saved" while
the Seattle Times maintains that the
guards should be discharged as un.

Waterbury Republican thinks "a new
record for deeply asinine stupidity has
been set: the Norfolk Ledger-Dis' itch

the Winston-Salem Journal says that

the unattractive post of prison guard

should start looking for another job"

"They played it safe. That is the
sum total of their failure. The rest

Surely. after looking at this list to,
day, and the list yesterday, no one
can think Of 'just petunias." or "just
zinnias."
There Is here material for much ex
perimenting by the gardener. Years
of patient, loving work has beer
put into the breeding of these new
forms and colors.
Some Of the petunias listed will give
blossoms inches across, If properly
grown. One seedman has declared
that the most expensive crop he grows
Is this, since such great care must be
taken in the work of crossing, and in
keeping the varieties separate.
An artist, commissioned to paint a
picture of one of the fluffy ruff1e''
type. finally threw up his hands in de.
spair. declaring that it was beyond the
power of man to capture in line and
color the curves of the ruffies, or the
infinite variety Of the veining.
Some is natural species of petunia
are found, mostly natives Of Brazil,
Argentina and the southern part of
South America. From these have
"bloomingest" plants in the world.
The Objectionable magenta tint of
early days has been mostly bred out.
The sprawly tendency of the petunia
may be overcome by stalking with slen-
der bamboo stakes stained green.
This loppiness is an asset, however, in
the window box.
A garden with nothing but petunias
would be a novelty. and would require
practically no care on the part Of the
gardener. This latter Is a necessary
quality in plants for those who do not
have the time needed for the cultiva-
ton Of gladioluses, roses and other
"touchy" flowers.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHlLANDER JOHNSON.
All In the Year.

All In the Year.
Hot?
Why not?
The sun shines boldly in the sky,
And bids us know it's now July.
Somehow, we think it rather queer
That we should suffer every year,
And wait for the autumnal day
When Summers woes must fade
away.
So, let us be content to say
We find what is our due today,
And will be ready, by and by,
For snowfiakes tumbling from the sky
Like tiny blossoms to replace
The fiow'rs now strewn In lavish
grace.
Hot?
Why not?

KIDNEYS MUST HAVE
PLENTY Of WATER
Also Take Salts Occasionally
if Your Back Hurts or
Bladder Bothers.

Kidney and bladder irritations
often result from acidity, says
noted authority. The kidneys help
filter this acid from the blood and
pass it on to the bladder.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
it. While it is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this is
often one of the most simple all
ments to overcome. Begin drinking
lots of soft water, also get about
four ounces of Jad Salts from your
pharmacist and take a tablespoonful
in glass of water before breakfast.
Continue this for two or three days.
This will help neutralize the acids lin
the system so they no longer are a
source of irritation to the bladder
and urinary organs, which then act
normal again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, and is.
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with hthia,
and is used by thousands of folks
who are subject, to urinary disorders
caused by acid irritation. Jad Salts
causes no bad effects whatever,

vescent Whitewater drink which
