Statistics on the subject Of maternal mortality are
of doubtful value. but the record shows that. in 1925.
647 mothers died Of every 100000 live births.
Work to lower the death date az mothers in child
birth has been ineffective IN the last ten years, and I
have advocated proper birth control as the solution Of
the problem.
In 1926 656 mothers In every 100000 gave their
lives. Since then there has been no decline in these
figures, which include only about IS per cent Of the
total population or the United States.

Hoouer's Interest in
Workers of America

Herbert Hoover reaches the heart
of labor's greatest problem when he
goes after full-time employment for
all workmen, John L. Lewis, presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers of
America, said in commenting on the
attitude of the Presidential nominee as
reflected by his address on labor at
Newark recently.
"Mr. Hoover penetrates the heart
Of Americas industrial and economic
problem when he declares for full and
stable employment for the workers of
America" Mr.. Lewis said. Ellis
Newark address reveals his intimate
and comprehensive grasp of the eco
nomic factors which are the everyday
concern of the average American.

Clean Kidneys
By Drinking
Lots of Water
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys 1t
Bladder Bothers or
Back Hurts

Eating too much rich food may pro-
duce kidney trouble in some form,
says a well-known authority, because
the acids created excite the kidneys.
Then they become overworked, get
sluggish, clog up and cause all sorts
Of distress, particularly backache and
misery in the kidney region, rheu-
matte twinges, severe headaches, acid
stomach, constipation, torpid liver,
sleeplessness, bladder and urinary irri-
tation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or If bladder
bothers you, begin drinking lots Of
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 lithia, and has
been used for years to flush clogged
kidneys and stimulate them to activ-
ity; also to neutralize the acids in
the system SO that they no longer
irritate, thus often relieving bladder
disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful e%ffervescent lithia-
water drink which millions Of men
and women take now and then to help
keep the kidneys and urinary organs
clean, thus often avoiding serious kid
ney disorders.

Hughes Great Tribute
to Smiths Qualities

The following comment on Governor
Smith vas made by Charles Evans
Hughes, former secretary of state, Re-
publican candidate for President in
1915, and the most esteemed man in
his party:
Zone who represents to us the ex-
pert in government and, / might say,
a master in the science of politics.
"If we had the customs of other
lands we would long ago have elevated
him to the peerage. But we have done
better than that. He long since be-
came a member of distinction of the
fine a%ristocracy of public service-the
American peerage. We have watched
him, some of us carefully, all with fas-
cination. The title that he holds is
the proudest title any American can
hold, because it is a title to the es.
TEEN and affection of his fellow
citizens"

PROSPERITY UNDER
RULE
Figures Show Advancement
in Eight Years.

Prosperity has been an extremely
real matter to the American people
during the last eight years, it was re-
vealed with the publication Of the
textbook Of the Republican national
committee. The details are given in a
special section of the book entitled,
Seven Years Of Republican Rule"
Some Of the more important accom-
plishments under Republican rule
are: employment for an additional
100000 workers, higher wages than
ever before. rs per cent increase in
the price Of agricultural products, and
% per cent increase in savings de-
posits.
Fifty per cent more wage earners
are taking out Industrial insurance
now than in 1921 and their policies
are twice as large. American homes
have doubled their purchases during
the prosperity era, and the consump-
ton Of gasoline has increased more
than 200 per cent during the admins
tration.
New records for expenditures in
recreation have been established un-
der the principles of government
which Herbert Hoover will continue
If he is elected. The radio industry
has jumped from nothing to the plac-
ing of 100000 sets in American
homes. Recreational visits to nation
al parks have increased 120 per cent.
Patronage Of the motion picture in.
dustry has brought 1t to be the sec
ond industry in the United States.
Legislation sympathetic to business
has brought benefits to it which rival
the benefits the family has received.
A gain Of 27O per cent was recorded
in monthly sales of motor trucks.
There was a 81 per cent increase in
the number of cars loaded every
month and a gain of 126 per cent in
the amount of building construction
awarded.
The production of iron ore has
doubled. Copper production is four
times what it was under previous adj
ministrations. Food consumption has
risen,. as shown by the increasing de.
mand for flour. pork and other sta
pies. Home ownership has CROWN, and
9,000,O00 homes have been equipped
with electricity.
Six million telephones have swept
away the barriers of time and dis
lance. Fourteen million automobiles
add to the enjoyment of life or speed
industry and commerce. Tho pur-
chasing power of wages has steadily
increased and the use of electrical
power in. industry has doubled. The
12-hour day has been abolished and
the job of every mar is still secure.

HOOVE
BY HIS OWN K
Was Bitterly Criticized as
Food Administrator.

The big guns of the Republican
party, now going into action in defense
of the Republican candidate for Pres
tdent, were engaged not long ago in
very different service. Their attack.
before political expediency took com
mand, was directed at the very man
they now try to defend.
Senator William e. Borah is cam
paigning in behalf of Herbert Hoover
His sincerity must be doubted by all
who remember how scathingly and
how repeatedly Mr.. Hoover was de-
nounced after the war by the senator
from Idaho.
In a series of speeches which have
been called the most vitriolic ever de-
llvered in the senate, Senator Borah
challenged the food administrators
good faith, asserted that he was con-
trolled by the meat packers and
charged him with violation Of the
most fundamental principles of the
Constitution"
Fighting a measure which would
give Hoover uncontrolled authority to
expend $100,000,00O to feed the starv-
ing people of central and eastern Eu-
rope, Senator Borah declared:
u say here upon the floor, and 1
challenge successful contradiction, that
three of the vast monopolies which
control food in this country have, with
relation to their commodities, directed
and controlled the food administration
since it's organization"
He charged Hoover with permitting
%disgraceful %profteering in food sup
plies by the meat packers when the
people of this country are hungry,
when our own people are suffering"
and asserted that the food administra-
ton was guilty of gross extravaganza.
whatever may be the great ability
of Mr.. Hoover" he declared, "there is
n individual whom he does not know
exists in this country, and that is the
taxpayer. He seems to think that
money comes like mamma to the chill
dren of Israel from heaven and not
from the sweat and toll and sacrifice
of the people. He has no conception
of the existence of the taxpayers, and
his distribution Of foods is utterly re-
CARELESS of their existence
Asserting that Hoover had per-
mitted agents of the meat packers
within the food administration to "de-
stroy competitors and build up private
fortunes" Senator Borah exclaimed:
mo man with such perverted views
of decency ought to be entrusted with
unlimited power to spend 500, O,OOO."
The senator from Idaho was sup
ported by a group of Republican SEN
ators including johnson of California
and Moses of New Hampshire.

Tariff bills originate in the house
ways and means committee. Ogden l..
Mills, undersecretary of the treasury,
recently examined the record of the
ten present Democratic members of
the committee and found them to be,
with a single exception, "low-tariff
men," Naturally, since they are Dem
ocrats.
Let no Republican voter be de-
ceived by Democratic tactics into
thinking that the tariff is not one
of the most vital issues this year.
None is more important. unless the
continuance of the country's indus
trial and commercial prosperity and
the maintenance for labor of the high
est wages in the world n be shown
to be of no account.

Trappers Dead Fifty
Years Found in Cave

Sault Ste. Marie, Ont.-A long-for-
gotten tragedy of the fu%r-trading days
is believed to have been uncovered. A
%prospector reported that he had found
two skeletons and a number Of rusted
old-fashioned muskets in a cave north
Of Bruce Mines.
The skeletons were lying by the side
of a small. well-hidden lake and, until
he found them. A. B. Frazer, the
prospector believed he was the dis
coverer of the lake.
Frazer said he was positive no one
had visited the lake since the men
met their death. The muskets were
of a type which has not been used in
the North for fifty years. No other
articles could he fonnd to Indicate
when the men died or what caused
their death.

Tariff and the Farmer

The American farmer has learned.
through his postwar experience, that
the tariff does not operate on his
products, the price of which is fixed in
the world market. Republican protec-

been telling the farmer that fable for
years. and the farmer has been be.
lieving 1t. Mr.. Curtis, one of the
stannchest of the Old Guard, continues
to prattie that fiction. November will
show whether the farmer is still swal.

Hoover Above Subterfuge

Every few days we notice where
some mi is apologizing for some
statement of Governor Smith in his
campaign. Recently his running mate
in apologize tone said that there was
room enough in the Democratic party
for men of different beliefs, and thus
sought to bridge the wide gap be.
tween himself and Smith on the pro-
hibition question. But no one has to
apologize for Herbert Hoover's cor
duct or utterances. They are all
above reproach.

him expressed at various times by one
