LITERARY DIGEST CORRECTS
EDITORIAL INADVERTANCE
MADE IN OCT. 30TH ISSUE.
An editorial injustice to the well
known drink, . Orange-Crush, inadver
tently made by The Literary Digest in
its October 30th number, has been ful
ly retracted by the publishers in an
article appearing December 4th.
The error was made in a short edi
torial preface to the reprint of an ar
ticle fran the U. S. public health re
ports on the subject of “Fake Orange
Drinks.” Although this article was not
directed against Orange-Crush, which
derives all its flavor from the oil, juice
and acid of actual oranges, yet the ed
jtorial preface mistakenly included the
drink by name in the following lan
guage:
“‘Orangeade’ and ‘orange crush’ that
never came nearer to an orange than
the tanks of a synthetic chemical lab
oratory are no longer to be served un
der those names with Uncle Sam’s
permission.”
This statement was fully corrected
in The Literary Digest for December
4th in an editorial entitled “Fruit
Juices in Fruit Drinks.” The retrac
tion appears on page 31 in the follow
ing language:
“A reference was made in our article
of October 30th to ‘orange crush’ as
made in a synthetic laboratory, and
we further said that it was no longer
to be served under this name with the
government’s permission. This state
ment we wish to correct. Ward’s
Orange Crush, which is the only or
ange drink marketed under the trade
name ‘crush,” is, as per their label,
composed of orange oil, citric acid, or
ange juice, pure granulated cane sugar
and water, and colored with United
States certified food color. As the gov
ernment report was quoted in these
columns, it is only right to give our
readers this additional word of ex
planation and reassurance.”
FISHES THROUGH THE
FLOOR OF HIS HOUSE
Boston Man Has House on Raft and
Sits Before Fire While Angling.
A house on a raft has been built by
Edward W. Facques, of Boston, so
that he can fish beneath the ice
through the floor of his living room
while sitting before his open fire en
joying his pipe and all the comiort of
home.
This novel idea of Mr. Jacques made
such a hit with his cronies that he has
been compelled to enlarge on his orig
inal plans, with the result that four
persons can now fish at the same time.

STATE TAX COMMISSIONER
GIVES FIGURES FOR EACH
COUNTY PAST TWO YEARS.
State Tax Commissioner Fulbright
has prepared a table showing the aver
age per acre valuation fox: taxation in
each county of the state for the years
1919 and 1920. An average rajse of
20 per cent has been brought about
through the efforts of Commissioner
Fullbright’s office.
In Terrell county land was returned
in 1919 at $.60 an acre and in 1920 an
average of $11.30 an acre was placed
upon it after arbitration, the tax com
missioner having demanded an in
crease of 40 per cent. In only 50 coun
ties was land returned at a higher val
uation, while the valuation in 93 coun
ties was less than in Terrell.
Below is the valuation per acre for
tax purposes shown by the digest of
each county:

BARRETT ON 'CHANGES
GEORGIAN TELLS COMMITTEE
SPECULATORS ARE “PRED
ATORY PARASITES.”
WASHINGTON, 'D. C.—Charles
S. Barrett, of Georgia, chairman of
the national bureau of farm organi
zations, created a sensation today by
a stirring and intensely caustic ad
dress at the hearing on the various
bills pending to abolish stock and cot
ton exchanges. Among other things
Mr. Barrett said:
“The great staple crops of this na
tion are controlled by a group of pred
atory gamblers who are mercilessly
robbing farmers and city people alike.
I am appearing before this committee
today to urge congress to wipe out
this great evil
“Organized speculation is a polite
name for gambling. Gambling is
merely one form of stealing; there
fore, when we get down to brass tacks
speculation is just plain every day
stealing.
“Stealing is the acquiring of your
neighbor’s property without giving
any return either in money, property
or service. Isn’t that precisely what
speculation attempts to do, and suc
ceeds in doing so on a scale which
makes the professional gamblers and
thieves look like pikers?
“The world has long suffered from
the predatory parasites who call them
selves speculators, but it remained for
the nineteenth century to permit them
to organize themselves into powerful
exchanges, so-called and properly so,
for they most successfuly exchange
their paper contracts for the hard earn
ed money. of the general public.”
Danger of a Credit Collapse Has Pass
ed. Some Changes Yet to Come,
Is Opinion of High Officials.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—The worst
is over. A turn for the better in the
business situation of the country has
come. Government officials generally
are glad to be able to send a Christ
mas message to the American people
that all danger of a collapse in the
credit system has pasgsed, and that
from now on a steady return to nor
mal conditions may be expected.
Every bit of evidence gathered here
confirms the view of officials that with
the exception of individual cases where
bad management or imprudent financ
ing has caused some concerns to hang
by an eyelash the entire business out
look is favorable. :
The process of readjustment is not
over. Perhaps some of the most pain
ful changes will come when the price
of labor is gradually brought down,
but in the business word itself the bot
tont has been reached and the future
is by no means as dark as it was a
month ago. Letters received {from
bank officials in various parts of the
country indicate that the turn came
in the last six or seven days, and that
the improvement is substantial and
sound. 5

ual manner. ;
It seems that Mr. Duke and his
son were hauling wood, and on their

Dozier got on the wagon with Mr.
Duke and his son, and as they were

FIRE IN CHURCH CAUSED
BY AN OVERHEATED STILL
Fire in a church in Hanford, Wash,,
was declared by deputy sheriffs to
have been caused by an overheated
whisky still which was in full operation
in the basement. The basement had
been rented by J. H. Brooks, a butch
er, for whom a warrant has been issued
on a charge of operating a still. The
church was not badly damaged by the
flames.
ROADS OF CORAL.
The coral roads of Bermuda are
among the finest in the world. They
are as smooth as a dance floor and
are never dirty.
Harmless to flush Kidneys and neutral
ize irritating acids—Splendid
for system.
Ridngy and Bladder weakness result
from urie acid, says a noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder, where
it often remains to irritate and inflame,
causing a burning, scalding sensation, or
setting up an irritation at the neck of
the bladder, obliging you to seek relief
two or three times during the night.
The sufferer is in constant dread, the
water passes sometimes with a scalding
sensation and is very profuse; agaip,
there is difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks eall it,
because they can’t control urination.
While it is extremely annoying and some
times very painful, this is really one of
the most simple ailments to overcome.
Get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from your pharmacist and take a fable
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast, continue this for two or three
days. This will neutralize the acids in
the urine so it no longer is a source of
irritation to the bladder and urinary or
géhs which then aet normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
is used by thousands of folks who are
subject to urinary disorders caused by
uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is splen
did for kidneys and causes no bad
effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, effervescent
lithia-water drink, which quickly relieves
bladder trouble.
