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.

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. | John D. Mathis, Post American ■ Legion. ' I' HILL-CURED TUBERS SHIPPED TO ROME h ■» A solid carload of hill-cured sweet. •, ‘potatoes, aggregating 26,000 pounds'] were shipped from Americus today i to Rome, where they were sold to a , ' broker through George 0. Marshall, . county farm demonstration agent. I A number of farmers participated in the sale, the tubers being con tributed from several farms near Americus.
