BRADLEY HOGG Phone 185 Representing the ALLIANCE INSURANCE CO., OF PHILADELPHIA If Back Hurts Begin on Salts Flush Your Kidneys Occasionally by Drinking Quarts of Good Water No man or woman can make a mis take by Hushing the kidneys occasion ally, says a well-known authority. Too much rich food creates acids which clog the kidney pores so that they sluggishly filter or strain only part of the waste and poisons from the blood. Then you get sick. Rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, constipation, dizzi ness, sleeplessness, bladder 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 a sensation of scalding, begin to drink soft water in quantities; also get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any reliable pharmacy and take a table spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few’ days and your kid neys may then 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 help flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to activity, also to help neutralize the acids in the system so they no longer cause irritation, thus often relieving bladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive and can not injure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink, which everyone can take now and then to help keep the kidneys clean and the blood pure, thereby often preventing serious kidney compli cations. Bv all means have your physi cian examine your kidneys at least twice a year. ,at both the morning and evening hours. The public is invited to at ; tend these services. ! The Sunday school meets at 9:30 IWible Marshall Superintendent. The mid-week prayer meeting will be held on Wednesday evening and will be under the leadership of the Sunday school forces.

On the contrary I have a real warm affection for every one of them, and it would be the proudest day of my life, if the John D. Mathis post would go on record as opposed to the bonus. “Today nine out of every ten Congressmen know of the Bonus Act, and yet more than half of them will vote for it. “What does this mean? It means best book by Jim erica 's best Woman 'Writer "J) (Mjlßliack OXEN’iafiß Gertrude Atherton And Mary actually blushed. She nad slept dreamlessly. and be tween the light mountain air and her new role, she felt as light hearted as Eva Darling, who was bolding Mr. Dinwiddle’s hand open ly. "Oh, Excellence!" cried Mrs Mi nor from the other end of the ta ble. “What do you say to having a picnic lunch? Didn’t you tell ma that you knew of a lovely gorge about six miles from here? Steak broiled between forked sticks! Po tatoes roasted in the ashes! Flap jacks! Heavenly." “Anything you say," replied Mr. Dinwiddle rather tonelessly. “Want to put it to the vote?” “Let me answer for the crowd,” commanded Todd "It is our duty when in the woods to eat our -neals after as much unnecessary toll, and to enjoy as much discom fort, as is humanly possible Oth erwise we might as weil stay in town. We’ll hilariously tramp six miles with packs, sit on the damp ground, extract earwigs, eat burnt Steak and half-cooked potatoes, and then tramp hack again, our spirits l gradually rising at the prospect of a decent meal eaten in "Killjoy!" cried Minor. "Don’t we come to the woods to tramp’’ 1 want to lose twenty pounds this trip, and if you don’t you ought to. I vote we make R&lly carry a sack of potatoes." “It’s agreed then?” asked Mr. Dinwiddie, veiling his hope that it was not. But the assent was gen eral. They were ail as excited over the prospect of a picnic as if they were slum children about to enjoy their first charitable outing, and it was settled that they were to start at ten o’clock. Mrs. Minor and Miss Gold went into the kitch en to help Mrs. Larsing make ’ sandwiches and salads, and the others ran down to the lake. L Clavering had tied the boat to a tree in a little inlet far down the lake, and they were walking through a wood of spruce trees and balsam. There was no leafy curtain here, although they could see one swaying on either side through open vistas between the rigid columns of the spruce. A trail was hardly necessary for there was no undergrowth, and al though the trees were set close to gether they were easily circum navigated. It was some time since they had spoken. His face was graver than she h;qi ever seen it, and she wait ed for him to speak. She almost could feel those unuttered words beating on the silence of th>- woods. There was nothing else to break that silence but the faint constant murmur in the tree-tops, and once, beyond that leafy cur tain, the sudden trilling of a soli tary bird. Again, the tremendous ness of this high isolation swept over her. The camp and its gay party might have been on some far distant lake. He put his arm around her firm ly. "I am not going to pretend any further,” he said. "It is too big for that. And you have never been anything but Mary Ogden to me, except, perhaps, on that night I have practically dismissed from my mind. I called you Mary Og tien to myself until I.learned your new name, and I don’t think that name has ever come into my thoughts of you. And although you slipped on another skin with it you were always Mary Ogden underneath. You needed a new name for your new role, but, like any actress on the stage, It hail nothing to do with your indestruc title perspnajity. I say this be- SATURDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 19. 1924 that the political power of those two million votes is almost unlfmit j ed, and now listen to this: If the power of those two millio« votes was devoted to putting men in office I who had the courage ot their con i victions, or to demanding of these 1 in office, that they put a stop to I governmental extravagance and : i waste, the saving in the reduced cost of living to the average legion naire, would be more every single year than the whole of his bonus ’ would be. “Some thousands of years ago, j God said to Moses, ‘what is that in i thine hand?’ and Moses said ‘ A 1 ‘ rod.’ “To Moses that rod was a very or [dinary thing, and adapted only to ■ ( very prosaic uses, but God Knew 1 that rod would be made to smit • 1 the lirst born of every Egyptian I family; to turn their rivers of water into rivers of blood; to roll bae4 ! the waters of the Red Sea, and lead 1 Israel across dry shod, out of Egyp i tain bondage and into the promised land. “If you were asked, ‘What is that I in thine hand?’ what would you say? i would you say, It is only a ballot,' ‘ a thing given to every person over i twenty-one years of age. I don’t I consider it of much jmportance; I may not use it at all or I may cast i it for some self-centered politi ; cian, who thinks statesmanship is I measured by a man’s ability to de vise new methods of taxation, or. i for such ranting demagogue, who' ’.claims that he will put the burden i of taxation on some particular class, ( i other than the one to which I be- ' s longs. V “ Why, Mary! You are not crying? Youl I never believed you crjld cause 3 want yon to ttml-'rsl that, although I canrot nlrv un , , your little comedx ant longer and go through the forms » wooin. 'you as if you were a girl I shouldn’t like you half as weil if you were—l do not think of yoo or wish you to think of yourself as anything but Mary Ogden." He paused a moment, and she slipped her arm about him am! they walked on through the wood "I cannot go rn with it because these days nr here that we can spend almost altogether alone, if we will, are too sacred to waste on an amusing but futile game Do you realize that we do not know each other very well? I sometimes wonder if you know me at all from the time 1 fell in love with you until you promised to marry me. I was at one sort of fever pitch and when 1 got 'o work on that play I was at another. No writer while exercising an abnormal sac ulty is quite sane. His brain is several pitches above norms’ and his nerves are like hot taut wires that hum like the devil if this wen not the case he would not be an imaginative writer at all Hut he certainly is 'n no condition to reveal himself to a woman I have made wild and sporadic love to you - sporadic is the word, for he tween my work and your friends we have had little time together— and I don’t think I have ever taken you in my arms with the feeling that you were the woman I loved not merely the woman I desired And I believe that I love you ever, more than 1 desire you. You are all that, but so much—so much more." She had fixed her startled eyes on him, but he did not turn his head. "There has always been a lot of talk about the soul. Sentimental ists wallow in the word, and real ists deride it. What It really Is I do not pretend to knpw. Probably as good a word -is any—and cer tainly a very mellifluous word for some obscure chemical combi- l nation of finer essence than the ! obvious materia) part of ur .hat craves a foretaste of Immortality v-hik we are still mortal Perhaps we are descended from ’he gods a/ter all, and unless we listen when they whisper in this unex plorable part of our being, we find only a miserable substitute for happiness, and love turns to hate. Whatever it is that golden essence demands, I have found it in you, ' and if circumstances had been dis ferent I should have known it long l ago." L (Continued; "I know now what you meant that night when you told me you had spent many distracted years i looking for what no man could give , you, and although I doubted at I -w..’ vviial is that in thine hand?’ Would you my ‘1 hold in my hand; my right of franchise, an attribute of citizenshp, as a priv ilege and responsibility of my man hood, and I will cast it only fol measures that 1 have considered and (found worthy, or for men who 1 .know to be clean and honorable, land who will stand tor, and fignt for honesty and economy in govern ment and a square deal for every man and every class?” The Kiwimians applauded what was declared to be the best quartet ever heard in Americus, the singers being Wilbur Smith, James Daven port, K. C. Beavers, and R. I’. Stock house Jr., who were forced to re spond to several encores. The Kiwanians unanimously elect led Bradley Hogg trustee for the I year 1924 and voted its thanks to I Dr. Thad Wise who was trustee for (the year 1923. Several visitors were present, in cluding, Mr. Waters, formerly a member of the local club; Mr. Stapleton, a brother of Dr. S. F. Stapleton; Mr. Cargill, of Columbus; and John Sheffield, president (Americus Rotary club. President Evan Mathis announc ed that the program next week will be devoted to educational week and appointed Sam Heys, Dr. Wise and Dr. Carl Minor to take charge. Secretary Tom Marshall announc i ed that a special train had been se . cured for delegates to the Inter , national Kiwanis convention this I summer which is to be held in Den > ver, the train to t leave from At (lanta and will carry District Gov (ernor P. T.

It can never be seen, nor heard, nor I expressed, but it is there. And | only once in a lifetime does any i cne mortal have it to give to an other. A man may love many times, but he is a god-man only once.” He held her more closely, for site was trembling, but he contin ued to walk on, guiding her auto matically through the trees, tor his eyes were almost vacant, as it - their vision had been reversed. "1 have had some hours of utter . spair, in spite of the double ex i citement of these past weeks, for it has seemed to me that I was no I nearer to you than I had been In Hie beginning. There was a sense of unreality about the whole af fair. At first it seemed to me th* most romantic thing that rould happen to any man, and it was in credible that I had been chosen the hsro of such an extraordinary i omance—intensified. If anything, by the fact that it was set In roar ing New York, where you have to talk at the top of your voice to liear yourseln'think. . . . But lhat passed—in a measure.
