Take. A Little Salts If Your Back
Hurts, or Bladder Is
Troubling You.
No man or woman can make a
mistake by flushing the kidneys
occasionally, says a well known
authority. Eating too much rich
food creates acids, which excite
the kidneys. They become over
worked from the strain, get slug
gish and fail to filter the waste
and poisons from the blood. Then
we get sick. Rheumatism, head
aches, liver trouble, nervousness,
dizziness, sleeplessness and uri
nary 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, irregu
lar of passage or attended by a
sensation of scalding, begin drink
ing a quart of water each day,
also get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast and in a few
days your kidneys may act fine.
This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice
combined with Iithia, and has
been used for years to flush and
stimulate the kidneys; also to help
neutralize t’.e acids in the system,
so they no longer cause irritation,
thus oftc.: relieving bladder weak
ness.
Jad .alts is inexpensive, makes
a delightful effervescent lithia

take row and then to help keep
the kidneys clean and active and
the blooil pure, thereby often
avoid: c jerious kidney compli

physician examine your kidneys

II KILLED WHEN
Newport News, Va., Nov. 4.—
Eleven persons are dead and four
more are in the hospital suffering
from severe injuries as a result of
an accident yesterday afternoon in
which a large bus, operating be
tween Hampton, Va.,- and Poquo
son, in York county, was run down
by Chesapeake & Ohio passenger
train No. 41, on the back river
road crossing in North Hampton.
Of the dead nine are from East
Messieks and two are from Hamp
ton, while all of the injured are
Poquoson people.
Agent First on Scene.
Agent Nelson of the C. & O.
railroad, in Hampton, was one of
the first to reach the scene of the
accident.
He helped in caring for the dead
and wounded. L. C. Spengler, gen
eral agent of the company in New
port News, with other officials,
reached Hampton shortly after the
crash.
Engineer Ben Catlin said that
he did not see the bus on the track
and that the first he knew of im
pending danger was when the
crash came.
Bus May Have Stalled.
It is thought that the bus stalled
after going onto the tracks.
The train crashed into the ma
chine while traveling at a rate of
45 miles an hour, striking the bus
almost in the center. The bus
was torn to pieces and parts of the
car were scattered for nearly a
half-mile on either side of the
tracks.
Bodies Strewn on Track.
The bodies were strewn along
the tracks.
Engineer Catlin stopped his
train as soon as possible and re
mained at the scene of the acci
dent until after the physicians,
coroner, officers and others ar
rived.
Colonel Parker, surgeon of the
C. & 0., was soon on the scene
and gave orders that the injured
be rushed tp the hospital.
Dr. Vandorstice, coroner of
Elizabeth county, and other officers
hurried to the scene and took
charge of the bbdies.
Just before sending the eight
bodies of those already dead to the
undertaking parlors, Dr. Vandor
stice had Sheriff Curtis summon a
jury.
Jury Views Wreckage.
The jury viewed the bodies scat
tered along the tracks and ad
journed until Wednesday evening,
when the inquest will be held.
Men and Ihstincts
Writers of the last century re
garded instinct as almost non-exist
ent In man, whereas reason was de
nied to animals, Later scientists
hold differently, nmong them huvlng
been Prof. William Janies, who
maintained that mnn has as many
Instincts as animals, He further
maintained that instinct played a
leading all human part In the determination of
conduct. McDougal, the
eminent philosopher, goes Still fur
ther and says that man’s organisms
would become Incapable of activity'
of any kind if Instinctive disposi
tions with their powerful Impulses,
were taken aw'ay. ■)

mtiAilL CHIME IQ lu
10 HONOR WIFE
Newnan, Nov. 4.—Many Geor
gians from all parts of the state
attended the dedicatory exercises
of the chiiqe of the Presbyterian
church here Sunday afternoon.
Memory of Wife.
The chime consists of 15 hells
and was presented to the church
by Congressman Gordon Lee, of
the seventh district, in memory of
his wife, Olive Berry Lee.
No single event in the history
of* the city has drawn as many
visitors to the city. Mrs. Lee was
a member of the church and died
here November 1, 1922.
Accepts for Church.
The chime was accepted on be
half of the congregation by Con
gressman _W. C. Wright, of New
nan. Ceremonies were conducted
by Rev. J. E. Hannah, pastor.
A bronze tablet in honor of
Mrs. Lee, was unveiled by Miss
Olive Berry Pringle, namesake of
Mrs. Lee. Professor M. H. Meete,
of Baltimore, gave the concert.
Bear Inscriptions.
All of the chimes bear inscrip
tions and on the largest of the
15 are read the following words:
“This chime of 15 bells was pre
sented to Newnan Presbyterian
church by Gordon Lee, in loving
memory of his wife, Olive Berry
Lee, a member of this church, who |
died in Newna n, Ga . , Novembe r l f
1922."
Got Idea When Sick.
Mr. Lee said he got the idea of
the chime when he was sick at
Washington and chimes of the
Church 'of the Epiphany soothed
him. He resolved to give the
chime here in honor of Mrs. Lee.
The set is said by experts to be
one of the most modern in the
south. The largest bell is five
feet in diameter, the smallest
weighs 375 pounds and is about
15 inches in diameter. The chime
cost $15,000.
Work Progressing.
Work on the new church is pro
gressing rapidly, the exterior be
ing completed. The cost of the
entire building is about $100,000.
It is said to be one of the finest
edifices of its size in the state.
Polo Has Long Hitt or y
There is no game today, with a
longer history and one so consistent
ly romantic as that of polo. Over
100 years ago polo was first ob
served in Persia by early European
travelers, like Sir William Ouseley
and Sir Anthony Shirley. The lat
ter quoted his tY’—runner, the Ital
ian Pietro della Valle who, In 1618,
had found polo under the patronage
of Shah Abbas, and remarked that
“It was a favorite recreation of
kings and chiefs, and originally, I
believe, considered as almost pecu
liar to Illustrious personages.” The
French traveler Chardin says the
Persians played with 30 or 40 on a
side, though the Persian miniatures
remind us that even then three or
four-sided teams were common. An
other traveler calls it “the game of
Canes. *»
