new
day
Representatives of many Tex-
as counties are meeting the
Highway Commission at Austin
and receiving allotments from
the huge Federal and State road
fund with which to build high-
ways. After being turned down
ao hard last fall by Cone John-
son, who said the department
had allotted all its (our) money,
Delta County people are a lit-
tle shy about asking for any
part of,these funds.
Jim Ferguson is advocating
Jim Reed or A1 Smith for demo-
cratic nominee for president.
Having called the Democrats all
kind of jackasses eight years
.ago when he was a candidate
for president on his American
party ticket Jim should be a
tittle backward in picking the
party’s nominee.

Warning Against
Rabbit Fever
A questionnaire was sent to
1,000 representative firms the
other day in regard
calendar of thirteen
months.
George Eastman, head of the
Eastman Kodak Company, sent
out a statement after the meet-
ing of the United States Cham-
ber of Commerce, which endors-
ed the movement, in which he
says the new calendar will con-
sist of weeks in which every
day of the month falls upon the
same week day.
This plan will probably re-
ceive the support of the League
of Nations and a committee will
be appointed in each nation to
ratify the proposal.
This is a valiant struggle of
common sense against tradition
and its outcome will be looked
upon with interest.
This plan for the new calen-
dar not only would make every
date fall on the same day of
the week in each month, but, as
this would only result in 364
days, New Year’s Day would be
a holiday and called January 0.
Also the extra day for Leap
Year would be designated by a
ciper and a new month would
be inserted between June and
July. This month would be
called Sol because it would con-
tain the solisti.ee in both the,.
Northern and Southern fyeffnis-
----
pheres.
Even if every naton accepts
the new calendar it can only be
put in effect after 1928, when
New Year’s Day falls on Sun-
day. After that date, if the
new plan is successful, we
should have no more calendars,
as it could be easily told what
day of the week and date is.
Mr. Eastman and his co-
workers deserve a great deal of
credit for endeavoring to make
this calendar a success as it
would undoubtedly be of great
convenience to the world.
Almost all business execu-
tives in America are in favor
of it and it would undoubted-
ly do a vast deal of good in cor-
respondence and in making our
records.
Of course the past would
have to be taken into consid-
eration, but a calendar would
only be needed for the past and
not for the future, and those
who look forward are more apt
to favor the new plan than
those who look back habitually.

FIERY. ITCHY SKIN
QUICKLY SOOTHED
BY THIS SULPHUR
Mcntho-Sttlphur, a pleasant cream,
will soothe and heal skin that is irri-
tated or broken out with eczema; that
is covered with ugly rash or pimples,
or is rough or dry. Nothing subdues
fiery skin eruptions so quickly, says a
noted skin specialist.
The moment this sulphur preparation
is applied the itching stops and after
two or three applications, the eczema
is gone and the skin is delightfully clear
and smooth. Sulphur is so precious as
a skin remedy because it destroys the
parasites that cause the burning, itch-
ing or disfigurement. Mentho-Sulphur
always heals eczema right up.
A small jar of Rowles Mentho-Sul-
phur may be had at any good drug
store.

Flush your kidneys by drinking a quart
of water each day, also take salts occa-
sionally, says a noted authority, who
tells us that too much rich food forms
acids which almost paralyze the kidneys
in their efforts to expel it from the
blood. They become sluggish and
weaken; then you may suffer with a
dull misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in the back or sick headache, dizzi-
ness, your stomach sours, tongue is
coated, and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The urine
gets cloudy, full of sediment, the chan-
nels often get sore and irritated, oblig-
ing you to seek relief two of three
times during the night.
To help neutralize these irritating
acids; to help cleanse the kidneys and
flush off the body’s urinous waste, get
four ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy hare. Take a tablespoon ful in a
glass of water before breakfast for a
few' days, and your kidneys 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 and stimulate slug-
gish kidneys; also to neutralize the acids
in the system so thev no longer irritate,
thus often relieving bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; can not in-
jure and makes a delightful efferves-
cent lithia-water drink.
