Salts. Fine for
Aching Kidneys
When Back Hurts Flush Your
Kidneys as You Clean
Your Bowels

Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels, sometimes get slug
gish and clogged and need a flushing
occasionally, else we have backache
and dull misery in the kidney region,
severe headaches, rheumatic twinges,
torpid liver, acid stomach, s%leepless-
ness and all sorts of bladder disorders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean and the moment you
reel an ache or pain in the kidney
region begin drinking lots of water.
Aiso get about four ounces Of Jad
oaits from any good drug store here,
Jake q tablespoonful in a glass Of wa
Ter before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
n famous salts is made from the
acld or grapes and lemon Juice, COM
bined with lithia, and is intended to
Hush clogged kidneys and help stimu-
late them to activity. It also helps
neutralize the acids in the urine SO
they no longer irritate, thus helping
to relieve bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; makes a
delightful ~effervescent lithia water
drink which everybody should take
now and then to help keep their kid
neys clean.
A well-known local druggist says he
sells lots Of Jad Salts to folks who
believe in trying to correct kidney
trouble while it is only trouble.

FARMERS ONLY HOPE
is SMITH VICTORY
Leaders See Emptiness of
Republican Promises.

Response in agricultural sections OF
speech accepting the Democratic Vice
Presidential nomination has been just
as favorable as that following the ac-
ceptance speech Of Governor Smith.
Attention has been directed to the
fact that Senator Robinson placed
chief emphasis on the farm question,
which occupied primary position in
his speech.
Senator Robinson's treatment of the
agricultural problems follows along
the main lines laid down by Governor
Smith, recognizing and defining the
difficulties of the farmer and then adj
vocating specific and constructive
measures of remedy.
Both Democratic candidates for
President and Vice President have as
serted their championship Of the prin-
ciple of surplus control legislation
for which the farmers have been con
tending in congress for the past five
years.
Farm leaders have been particularly
enthusiastic about Governor Smiths
statement that the gross injustice of
the present tariff system should be
corrected, so that the farmer can get
the same benefits from protection as
industry now enjoys. The Democratic
candidate also pledges himself to find
the most effective and soundest ma
chinery for bringing this about, stat
ing the essential principle contained
in the party platform that costs of
handling the surplus shall be assessed
back against each unit of the bene-
fitted crop brought to market.
Senator Robinson reviews the rec
ord Of barren failure during eight
years Of Republican rule to put on
the statute books any general laws
for the solution of this fundamental
problem of the surplus. He examines
Herbert Hoover's expressions on agri-
culture and exposes their emptiness
and evasion of the real question.
Particularly gratifying to leaders of
farm organizations has been the con-
trast drawn by Senator Robinson be-
tween the "feebleness and failure" Of
Mr.. Hoover's position and the con
.structive and positive program adopt
ed by the Democratic party and its
candidates.
Comment also is directed to the
ring of determination in Senator Rob-
inson's speech to find the right solu-
ton. He says that the best possible
plan must be evolved, improving on
all previous methods, but that the
Democratic party and candidates
mean action, feeling that 'the time
has come when an economic adven-
ture is justified in behalf Of the mil
lions who engage in that industry
without which civilization could not
survive"

Peasants Retort Won French Kings Praise

The subject of King Henri Nv, "le
bon roi Henri" he who said Paris was
well worth q mass, Is inexhaustible
and the French always receive a book
Of anecdotes and biographical details
on him with delight. From the latest
volume Pierre Van Paassen, writing
in the Atlanta Constitution, culls this
incident. One day the king was pass
ing through a village where he was
obliged to halt for dinner. Before sit
ting down he asked the host of the
tavern: "Invite me the man who
passes for being the most spirited in
your commune" King Henri was
told that it was a fellow named Gail
lard. "Go and fetch him." ordered the
king. The peasant Don arrived. Hen
ri told him to sit opposite at the table
and to share his meal of roast chicken
with Chablis. "What's your name"
asked the king. Sire" replied the
rustic, my name is Gaillard." "What
difference is there between a gaillard
(genial, good-hearted fellow and a
paillard %(scoundrel)T " "Sire," came

Country Will Rebuke
Appeals to Bipofry

That Republican leaders are willing
to let their disabled craft drift to any
port in the political storm they have
Numbered into is indicated by their
failure to repudiate the appeal that
is being made to bigotry and religious
intolerance in their behalf.
Senator Robinson has %forcefully at
tackled the kissing political serpents"
in his acceptance speech. All intel
ligent voters will agree with his state
ment that a candidate for President
"proves himself unworthy if he know
ingly accepts advantage from false
hood, eve though not uttered or In
spired by himself" An even more
spirited attack upon the sinister
whispering campaign" has been
made by DR.. Henry Van Dyke, emf
nent Protestant clergyman and writ
er, who declares 1t would be a "calam-
ity for our country" If Governor
Smith were defeated.

Curtis Has Forgotten,
but Voters Will Not

The voters of the country who are
acquainted with Senator Curtis habit
of turning political f1ip1ops and his
apparent readiness to take either side
on any question, are not going to be
very much impressed by his rather
weak attacks upon "the Democrats in
Washington"
1t will be remembered that the SEN
ator is the ardent Republican who,
before Hoover was nominated, de-
clared:
eff the Republican party chooses
Herbert Hoover for it's standard bear
er, we shall have to apologize to the
American people for him until cleo
ton day."
Offered the nomination for Vice
President, Curtis conveniently forgot
his previous stand. And he seems
now entirely unaware of the incon-
sistency Of his perfervid praise of the
man for whom he predicted the ne
cessfty of apologizing.
Nor will the farmers Of the coun-
try forget the reputation of his
previous vote to sustain the Presi-
dents veto on the McNary-Haugen
bill.

DR.. CALDWELL'S
THREE RULES

DR.. Caldwell watched the results of
constipation for AZ years, and believed
that no matter how careful people are
Of their health, diet and exercise, con-
%stipation will occur from time to time.
OF next Importance, then, is how to treat
it when it comes. DR.. Caldwell always
was in favor of getting as close to nature
az possible, hence his remedy for consti-
patton is a mild vegetable compound. 1t
can not harm the most delicate system
and is not habit forming.
The Doctor never did approve of dras-
tic physics and purges. He did not believe
they we're good for human beings to put
into their system. Use Syrup Pepsin for
yourself and members of the family in
constipation, biliousness, sour and Granny
stomach, bad breath, no appetite, head
aches, and to break up fevers and colds.
Get a bottle today, at any drugstore and
observe these three rules of health: Keep
the head cool, the feet warm, the bowels
open. For a free trial bottle, just write

NEW YORK FARMERS
NEVER WITH SMITH
Agriculturists Haze Consist.
emily Opposed Him.

Al Smith, swinging into the West in
the hope of capturing the farmer vote,
is preceded by the devastating state.
ment OF Charles S. Wilson. former
commissioner of agriculture of New
York state, to the effect that New
York farmers have been definitely
against him in each of his FIVE cam
paigns for the g0vernorship.
Mr.. Wilson, himself a large farmer.
has sent out broadcast an ANALYSIS of
Smiths past five campaigns, showing
that In each one he was elected by
the vote of New York city, the seat
of Tammany politics.
Outside of New York city, Smith
Jared thus in his five campaigns: In
1918, carried two counties; in 1920.
carried none; in 1922, carried thir-
teen out of tifty-seven; in 1924, car
ried one; in 1926, carried four coun-
ties.
GAS a candidate for governor" said
Wilson, "Smith would have been de-
feated, outside of New York city, at
each of the elections in which the
city gave him office, and usually he
would have been showed under. He
would have failed by net losses rang
ing from $4,000 to 100000. Election
statistics show that he has been a
local leader only, and a survey of
sentiment in New York state show
that many of his supporters as gov
ern0r do not consider him of Presi-
Dental caliber. He has never been a
state leader, because he has
gained the confidence of the state at
large.
"The same statistics manifest that
the last two. elections of Smith
are far from proving that he has
made any gains in the confidence Of
the state at large. On the contrary,
the last two elections prove that he
has lost a considerable share of the
support he had previously received
in the districts outside of Tammany
control.
New York farmers, knowing Smith
intimately" continued Wilson, shave
no faith in his farm relief proposals,
and I want to warn the westerners
to whom he is carrying his promises,
that he has consistently failed to al
leviate the farm conditions of his W
state. ALI of his measures have been
consistently blocked by the legisla-
ture, and the attitude of the legisla-
ture has been upheld by the farmers
in a body.
"They have recognized clearly that
it would be detrimental, if not suicid-
al, to entrust the great agricultural
interests Of the state to an agricul-
tural board appointed by a Tammany
governor. 1t must be remembered that
New York is one of the leading agri-
cultural states of the Union, in spite
Of the financial and Industrial activ-
ity which involves so much of it's
effort, and the farmers problems in
many cases are parallel to those Of
the farmers in the farther west Sec
lions.
Therefore, when they make it plain
that they have no confidence in the
Smith farm relief proposals, they do
so with the sincere hope that they
may save their fellow agriculturists
throughout the country from falling
into a trap and being obliged to wait
four more dreary years to rectify
their error. They are solidly behind
Hoover and his farm relief plans"

Women Will Approve
Hoouer's Peace Stand

1.-THE recent signing by Is nations
of Secretary Kellogg's peace treaty in
Paris is undisputable evidence of the
Republican party's policy of interna-
tional good will and understanding"
| William 81. Hill, Hoover-Curtis cam
paign chairman in New York, told a
group Of business e
1.-THE treaty constitutes a founda-
tion upon which Herbert Hoover, If
elected, will proceed to build the
greatest world peace structure ever
dreamed Of" he said. "There is no
question of his desire for peace among
nations and, with this treaty, which
has been praised throughout the
world, to begin with, he will be able
to demonstrate further, the peaceful
intentions of America.
1.-THE Kellogg pact should constitute
a new appeal to the m of the
country to vote for Hoover and con
tinue the policies of a Republican adj
ministration which has shown itself
so alert in grasping the opportunity
to further international friendship"
said Mr.. Hill. "Women, women's
clubs and women's magazines have
long been striving for concrete evil
dence Of the country's desire for
world peace and they have it in the
Kellogg treaty and in the pronounce
ments Of Hoover that he will not
cease his efforts until actual world
peace is obtained. 1t should encour-
age the thousands Of women workers

CHAPTER TX
The Fatal Errand

This meeting with Gist and his two
Indians was most pleasing to us, al
though the Delawares did not care
enough for our company to slacken
their pace. They ranged ahead while
Gist Travelled with us. He gave us
much news. On July third the Indians
had refused to go on a scout, but on
the following day two had been In
duced to accompany him. The three
of them had advanced to within half
a mile of the fort and had been de-
TERED from approaching closer be-
u of the excitement occasioned by
the escape of the girl, the Onondaga
and myself. They did not know what
had happened, but with so much yell
ing and bowling and running into the
woods the Delawares had taken fright
and declared the entire red force was
starting to attack the army. Two In
dams had sighted Gist and had chased
him for some distance. The Della
wares surprised and scalped the
Frenchman the Dinwold girl had
stumbled upon among the bramble
bushes.
Gist said he and his companions had
attempted to follow Turtle creek to
its head, where they had expected to
find the army, but had been turned
back by a large band of savages com
ing down the creek. They had taken
refuge in a windfall and had remained
in hiding through the violent storm.
This delay permitted the girl and me
to get in advance of them. In scout
ing to the neighborhood of the fort
they had found the fords open and
without any signs of an ambuscade
being prepared. Nor had they discov.
cred any trace of the enemy's savages
being outside the immediate vicinity
of the fort until the night Of our eS-
cape.
When Gist set out from the army
camp, Braddock was about to march
to Thicketty run, a small branch of
Sewickley creek. Time had been lost
at Jacobs creek in waiting for Colonel
Dunbar's provision train to come up.
Many of st. Clair's ro%ad-builders were
on the sick list, and quite a number of
them had died. The wagon horses
we're in miserable condition. Colonel
Washington was too ill to travel and
had not rejoined the army up to July
fourth.
"You have nothing but bad talk In
your bag" remarked.
"We have one French scalp" he
grimly replied. sand since June TWEEN
ty-ffth Braddock has been paying five
pounds apiece for scalps. But none
of u scouts are getting rich on the
bounties. If we could only get ahead
faster, and reach the fort before all
our soldiers are dead, or too sick to
fight, we'd win just by showing our
selves. Mr.. William Shirley, the gen.
erals secretary, is very much dis.
gusted and discouraged at the way
things are being managed. He says
he doubts u success. But talk like
that is all f%oolishness, Of curse. II
we can only hold out till we reach
Duquesne, we'll whip the French easy
enough"

He has shown himself to be a mar

The history Of the development OF

tween Baltimore and Washington In
1S43, followed the line of the Balti-
more Il Ohio railroad, the first
American railroad, and to this day the
greater part of the 2,000,00O miles Of
telegraph wires In the United States
are constructed along the routes Of
the various railway systems. TIL,

rural town, and being young and a

sideburns. A group Of little girls Of

had not much to say for the new pas
tor. This hostile attitude on the part
of their children was most trying to
the women of the church, so one
mother asked her small daughter what
the trouble seemed to be. The little
girl explained it thus: "Oh, he thinks
he is cute, wearing those sunburns on
