Quart Of Water
Cleans Kidneys
Take a Little Salts II Your Back
Hurts, or Bladder 10
Troubling You

No man or woman can make mis-
take by flushing the kidneys occasion
ally, says well-known authority.
Eating too much rich food creates
acids, which excite the kidneys. They
become overworked from the strain,
get sluggish and fail to filter the waste
and poisons from the blood. Then we
get sick. Rheumatism, headaches,
liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness,
sleeplessness and urinary disorders
often come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache In
the kidneys, or your back hurts, or If
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full Of
sediment, irregular Of passage or at
tended by sensation Of scalding, be-
gin drinking a quart Of water each
day, also get about four ouncessof Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take a
tablespoonful in glass Of water be-
fore breakfast and in few days your
kidneys may act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid Of grapes and lemon Juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for years to flush and stimulate the
kidneys; also to help neutralize the
acids in the system, so they no longer
cause irritation, thus often relieving
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; makes
delightful effervescent Whitewater
drink which everyone should take
now and then to help keep the kid
neys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby often avoiding serious
kidney complications.

Berlin Chemist Finds
Cure for Ricketts,

Berlin.-A radical cure for ricketts,
is said to have been found in milk
treated with ultraviolet rays in an
apparatus constructed by the chem
list, Doctor Schoell.
In the apparatus Doctor Schoell
was able to subject any desirable
quantity of fresh milk in vacuum to
the ultraviolet rays from a quartz
lamp, succeeding for the first time
in keeping the taste and smell of the
milk unchanged.
With the milk so prepared numer-
GUS children with ricketts, at the Uni
versity hospital of Frankfurt-o Main
were fed and completely cured In
from four to six weeks. The advan-
tage of his method of treatment is
said to lie in it's cheapness and in the
facility with which practically unlim.
tied quantities of milk may be pre-
pared for wholesale consumption.

NOW WOULD TURN
GOLD INTO TIN
Seek Means to Balk Shortage
of Baser Metals.

London.-The old alchemists tried
to turn tin and copper into gold. But
British scientists are now thinking of
going them one better, by turning
gold into tin and copper.
Copper and tin deposits are rapid
ly running out, while the gold supply
continues undiminished. In time,
scientists here say, copper and tin
will become so valuable that 1t will
pay chemists to transform gold and
silver into these more useful metals.
British scientists, in an interview
in the Daily Mail, say there is only
about 100 years supply of copper in
the world. Cables and electrical de-
vices are using up great quantities of
it. The marvellous durability Of gold
will make 1t good substitute for
copper when the time comes that gold
is more plentiful than copper.
The alluvial deposits Of tin in Corn
wall have all been worked out, and
the only tin now produced there is
from vein mining. Five-siXths of all
the tin in the world is obtained from
such alluvial deposits. England is
depending on such small areas as
Guiana, Bolivia and Straits Settle
ments for nearly all the tin which
goes into commodities industrially in
dispensable.
BY Encouragement of the electrons
of gold scientists say they may some
day be able to transmute gold into the
baser metals, Just as the alchemists
tried-vainly-to transmute the baser
metals into gold.
Failing that, scientists are looking
about for a method of extracting ma
terial from space, according to the
published symposium.
Astronomers have recently discov-
cred that there is in certain stars
peculiar sort of matter 10000 times
as heavy as the ordinary earthly mat
ter we know" scientist is quoted as
saying. "a piece of it the size of
golf ball, If placed on table, would
simply crash through the table, and
possibly through the floor.
"Now that we know such matter
exists in the universe we can predict
that in the future, by marshaling our
electrons and setting them to work,
we shall be making this heaviest
known matter here on earth. Think
Of it's power in explosive shells for
the nation which first ferrets out the
secret"

London Zoo Walrus
cate Self to Death"

LOndon.-"Old Bill" walrus
at the London ZOO, ate himself
to death. He had the most raw
enous appetite of any animal
ever known here, and consumed
more food than three ordinary
elephants.
: "Old Bill's" favorite relish
was fish. 1t cost the zoo au
thorities more than pound
sterling (about $5) a day to
keep the wolf of hunger from
Old Bills tank while an ele
plant may be fed for less than
third of that amount.
1t is the fish eaters at the zot
which run up the cost of the
commissary department. Sea
lions, too, cost more to feed
than elephants. The bill for
sea lions fish is about EGO a
year while an elephant may be
kept fat and sassy for about
e120 year.
Meat for the zoo land lions
costs less than shillings, or
about so cents day a head

Beech Mt. Timber
Will Soon Be Cut
Tri-County Lumber Co. Preparing
to Cut County's Largest Boun-
Diary of Virgin Timber

Information reaching Boone is to
the effect that the Tri-County Lum-
Der Company, of Baltimore Mary
land, successor to the defunct Chero-
kee Lumber Company, is having a
survey made for the construction of
tram road from Butler, Tenn, to
Beech Mountain, where the company
has a large boundary of timber.
w. S. Whiting has tried for several
years to have a spur of the East
Tennessee & Western North Caro-
lima railroad to built to this large
boundary of virgin timber, but
landowners living along the right of
way would not give permission for
the road to be built. Could this
right of way been secured, the tim
Der would have been sawed at Shulls
Mills, which would have meant the
expenditure of a large sum of mon
ey in Watauga county. But it ap-
pears now that Tennessee will
benefit from the large operation,
and Watauga will be the loser.
1t is estimated that between fifty
and sixty million feet of lumber is
included in the boundary, and that
it will take twenty years to manu-
facture it into lumber

late Rev. Harrison Farthing, of
Beaver Dam, died at her home on
Friday night of last week, the
funeral being conducted by her pas
tor, Rev. L. A. Hurst, at Bethel

A large crowd of admiring relatives
and friends were assembled to pay
their last respects to the lady they
had loved so fondly. Quite num-
ber of relatives from Boone were in
attendance.
Mrs. Farthing was, before her
marriage Miss Carrie Dougherty
aunt of the Dougherty brothers OF
the Appalachian State Normal.
To Mrs. Farthing's last marriage
was born one son, Mr.. Carter Earth
ing, now a member of the county
road commission.
Watauga county could boast OF
no better woman than she. A de-
voted Christian always active in
church and Sunday school work; a
neighbor and friend of the variety
that is rapidly passing; and always
had an open hand for those needing
assistance and always ready to apply
the balm of love and sympathy to
sorrowing and broken hearted.
Truly another mother in Zion has
passed to her reward.

MAY SPLIT
DEMOCRATIC PARTY

Washington, Feb. 28.-Two move
ments-one designed to put a damp
er on the presidential aspirations of
Governor Smith of New York, the
other to force both the Republican
and Democratic parties to toe the
mark on prohibition in the coming
campaign-got under way here to-
day under the direction of a group
of dry leaders.
The offensive directed at the two
political parties was launched at a
conference in which representatives
of 80 or more national temperance
organizations participated. Resolu-
tions were adopted demanding clear
cut prohibition planks and standard
bearers genuinely dry.
While the meeting was in progress
plans were disclosed for an anti-sa-
loon league conference next month
in St. Petersburg, Fla, in which
friends of prohibition in nine south
ern states will be invited to have q
hand. At that time, those in charge
of arrangements predicted a counter
offensive against Governor Smith
will take definite form.
While reluctant to discuss for pub
lication what will be done, they gen
orally forecast discussion that
would include the advisability of
urging southern Democrats to bolt
their party in the event the New
York governor is nominated at
Houston.
The announced purpose of the re-
gional meeting at st. Petersburg is
to canvass the prohibition situation
south of the Mason and Dixon line
and east of the Mississippi, but a
political airing also is regarded as
inevitable by expected participants.
The conference, which will continue
three days, will begin March 4.

Whether the conviction of Larry

fenced to be electrocuted for the
murder of Beula Tedder, 15-year-old
daughter of a Wayne county farmer,
following the sensational Sunday
trial during which an effort was

trial will be granted him, is now up
to the state supreme court The
case was argued last Wednesday by
M. B. Loftin, who entered the ap-
peal for Newsome, acting as his at
torney under appointment of the
court.
There was wave of protest over
the state following the conviction of
Newsome, since it was felt that
Judge Henry A. Grady, who prcsid-
ed, erred in permitting the trial to
proceed following the attempt made
by the Tedder girls father and 9th
ers to abduct Newsome from the
courtroom while the trial was pro-
ceeding. 1t was only after the sher-
iff had been compelled to fire his
revolver at the ceiling in order to
guell the mob, and after the judge
had threatened to shoot anyone who
further attempted to molest the pris-
oner, that the trial was able to pro-
ceed.

Mr.. H. Joseph Hardin, aged II,
one of the most prominent citizens
of the county, died at his home just
without the eastern limits of the city
Saturday afternoon at o'clock, fol
lowing a serious illness of several
months duration.
Mr.. Hardin died in the same home
in which he first saw the light of day,
having resided there throughout his
long life. By dint of hard work
and careful management he was able
to amass a considerable fortune, as
fortunes are estimated here. AL
though afflicted with rheumatism
for several years, by the aid of
crutches, he managed to personally
attend to the affairs of the farm
until his fatal illness. He was a
consistent member Of the local
Methodist church and throughout the
years took great pride in its achieve
ments, contributing largely of his
time and money to its upbuilding.
Funeral services were conducted
from the Methodist church Monday
morning at II o'clock by the pastor,
Rev. C. H. Moser. DR.. B. B. Dough-
erty of the Normal, close friend Of
the Hardins, paid tribute to the de-

varied and beautiful. The house
was filled with sorrowing friends, a
small group of faithful colored peo-
pie having also been allowed to be
present as the last rites were said
for their esteemed friend and bene-

MRS. GATLIN ACQUITTED

A jury of Rockingham county
farmers after deliberating three
hours and thirteen minutes Wednes-
day night acquitted Mrs. Alma Pet
ty Gatlin, of charge of having mur-
dered her father, Smith T. Petty, at
Reidsville, year and six weeks
ago. The verdict was rendered in
dead silence as the crowd that filled
the room to overflowing obeyed the
mandate of the court that there was
to be no demonstration. Aside from
the sobs of the young woman, who
had told the Rev. Thos. F. Pardue,
evangelist, that she killed her father
whose body was found buried in the
cellar of a home they once occupied
and told the court she had lied to
protect the name of her dead moth
er, there was no noise as the verdict
was read.
Mrs. Gatlin appeared for an in
slant to hardly comprehend the fact
that words had freed her. Then
with loud sob she flung herself
into the arms of her husband, Eu-
gene Gatlin, Reidsyille fire chief.
