Help Kidneys
By Drinking
More Water
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys and
Help Neutralize Irri
tating Acids
Kidney and bladder irritations often
result from acidity, says a noted au
thority. The kidneys help filter this
acid from the blood and pass it on to
the bladder, where it may remain to
irritate and inflame, causing a burning,
scalding sensation, or setting up an irri
tation at the neck of the bladder, oblig
ing you to seek relief two or three
times during the night. The stifierer
in constant dread; the water passes
sometimes with a scalding sensation and
is very profuse; again, there is diffi
culty in voiding it. . .
Bladder weakness, most folks call it
because they can’t control urination.
While it is extremely annoying and
Sometimes very painful, this is often
one of the most simple ailments to over
come. Begin drinking 10i4.. soft wat< r.
also get about four ounces of Jan tsnlts
from your pharmacist and take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast. Continue this for two or
three days. This will help neutralize
the acids in the system so they no
are a source of irritation to the bladue
and urinary organs, which then act nor
mal again. . ,
jad Saifs is inexpensive, and is macie
from the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia and is used ”v
thousands of folks who are subject to
ttrinarv disorders caused acid irri
tation. jad Salts causes no bad eneit
whatever. -
Here von have a pleasant, ettene

quickly relieve your bladder irritatin'-
By all means have your physician cxan

Letters From
Ihe People
“WHAT ADJUSTED COMPENSA
TION IS.”
This article is not provoked by
the recent article appearing in the
Times-Recorder from an’address de
livered by Mr. John Sheffield be
fore the Kiwanis Chib. In fact
parts of Mr. Sheffield's address
were perhaps given greater public
ity than he himself expected, and
it is not the purpose of the officers
of John D. Mathis Post to enter into
any discussion with Mr. Sheffield or
any one else with reference to the
Adjusted Compensation Bill now be
fore Congress. This article should
have gone to press last Thursday
before Mr. Sheffield made his ad
dress, but for unavoidable reasons
it was not prepared at that time.
The American Legion performs
greater and promotes higher
ideals and principles than some peo-
pie think. It is a permanent or- .
j ganizatidn, and will live on wheth-|
I er the Adjusted Compensation Bill |
jis passed or fails to pass. Just as j
’this bill is the greatest problem be
fore the American people today, just.
so it is one the of the greatest prob
lems before the American Legion
today. From the Legion’s viewpoint
• the merit of this bill is a closed
book, as the bill has passed Congress
twice and was only vetoed because
a suitable plan tor payment of
same was not included therein.
Some people seem to scorn the
idea of reduction of taxes, and yet
' payment of the compensation to ex-
■ service men. Senator Hiram John-
■ sop says this can be done easily. The
taxes that are to be reduced are
•'those taxes which were imposed up
,l on our people during the war; a’
’ I which time we had to raise not only
. I pay for our soldiers, but also food
II and drink for them; transportation
1 for them, and amunition and cloth
' ing for them. Now we only have to
• i raise partial payments for them in
■ i the form of adjusted compensation.
i and it is reasonable to suppose/ that
lit will not take as much taxation
j money to do this, as was required
I during the awful days of conflict.
The Government has adjusted the
I compensation of the railroads, ot
. the War Contractors, of the Feder
al employees and even the person
nel of the Army and Navy, but they
have yet to adjust the compensation
of the great majority of the mert
who did the actual fighting. The
ex-service man asks no reward for
his service in uniform, but if he is
| forced to bear his share of the ex
penses of the war, as well as give
his services, if he is forced to pay 1
his shaie of the bonus given to
■ i railroads arid War Contractors,
• | then he has a right for adjustment
■j of his compensation. The people
of the United States have shown
that they want this debt to the ex
' service men paid by the enacment
'of Bonus Legislation in twenty-two
I states, and by various straw ballots
; held throughout the country.
■ The Legion contends that the
i fight on the Compensation Bill is«
i directly traceable to Northern Cap
i, ifalist, who will more than anyone
THE AMERICUS TIMES-REdORDER
else be affected by its passage. Ev-,
erjt person has his right to his own
opinion on any such important ques- i
tion, and should not be criticized
for same. As far as John D. Matnis
Post is concerned they are satisfied
that they have not mislead anyone,
and as far as they know there hat
i never been any effort on any Legion
‘Officer to mis-represent this prop
osition, or to attempt whatsoever to
mislead anyone. One of the very ■
cardinal principles upon which the
I Legion was organized states eni
j phatically that it shall be, and is a ,
’ I non-political organization, and no
.'man as yet has ever attempted) to •
! control the legion vote, and the le-1
gion vote has always been as var- ■
' ied as the voter outside the legion I
have ever been. They vote as in-:
dividuals and not as legion members. |

HILL-CURED TUBERS

h
■» A solid carload of hill-cured sweet. •,
‘potatoes, aggregating 26,000 pounds']

I A number of farmers participated
in the sale, the tubers being con

potatoes ever seen in Georgia, ac

these were loaded into the car. The
potatoes were shipped in bulk, be
