Commissioners Hetr
(Continued from page 1)
the commissioners were taken aback
at the amount, although it was their
opinions that nothing could be done
but approve the budget. The chair
man wanted to levy the same amount
as last year, and, if the board of edu
cation did not accept it, "go to the
courts" for settlement.
It seems that the board of educa
tion has already acted on the assump
tion that the commissioners would ap
prove the budget, which was the sub
ject of a joint meeting of the boards
May 28, in the auditorium of the
courthouse. At that meeting the
commissioners assented to the expen
ditures for money for trucks and for
new building and the board of edu
cation has already spent some of the
money or bargained to do so.
Attorney Boone explained that fi
nal approval had not been given, and
that the commissioners cut some of
the proposed expensive features of
the school budget But no detailed
examination was made of the budget
and nothing was lopped off. Dr. Mit
chell wanted to cut it down to the
levy of 1922, or take it to court
"I'll pay the costs of court out of my
own pocketbook before I will agree
to any such levy," he said, when some
' bystander observed that it would in
volve the boards in a lot of expense
to have it threshed out in court
E. H. Eure, Winton member, mov
ed to adopt and approve the budget
His motion met no second. A con
ference held between Dr. Mitchell,
chairman, E. W. Whitley of Murfrees
boro, and W. H. Vaughan of St.
Johns, all of whom retired to the
courthouse auditorium, leaving be-j
hind Frank Tayloe and Mr. Eure, re-;
suited in a motion made by Mr.
Vaughan and seconded by Mr. Whit
ley that the matter be deferred until
John Askew could be on hand. The
motion was passed without dissent.
Friday morning was set as the date.

I If Kidneys and
Bladder Bother
Take Salts to flush Kidneys and
neutralize irritating
aeida.
I ? ??
I
Kidney and bladder irritations often
result from urie acid, says a noted
authority. The kidneys filter this acid
from the blood and pass it qa to the
bladder, where it may remain to irritate
and inflame, causing a burning, scald
ing sensation, or setting up an irrita
tion at the neck of the bladder, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night. The sufferer is in
oonstant.dreed; the water pernio some
times with a scalding sensation and is
very profuse; again, there is difficulty
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
overcome. Get about four ounces of
Jsd Salts from your pharmacist and
take a ti.blespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast; oqntisue this for two
or three dsys. This will help neutralise
the acids in the urine eo it no longer
is n source of irritation to the bladder
and urinary organs, which then act
normal again.
Jad Suits is inexpensive, harmless,
end is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juioe, combined with lithia,
and is used by thousands of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders eaaeed
by urie acfd irritation. Jad Silts is
splendid for kidneys and causes no bad
effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasnt, effervescent
lithia water drink, which often quickly
relieves bladder irritation.
