" ALL HONORS GIVEN 3 v T0 LATE PRESIDENT Washington Now Gives Remains Back to His Native State By The Assoclated Press. Washington, Aug. 9.—Laden - with all the honors the American people could bestow, the nation yesterday gave Warren G. Harding back to Ohio. Yesterday,' while a republic mourn- ed at his bler, the great government of which he was head performed funeral ceremonies such as are re- Yerved for departed presidents. Tomorrow, in the shaded quiet of a grassy slope, Marion, Ohio, will en- tomb a citizens, the fifth son of Ohio brought home from the presidency to rest. For at the express command of his heroie widow there will be in Marion none- of the selemn and impressive display with which nations entomb their chief magistrates. The picture in the great vaulted dome of the capitol where the shades of the natlon's other great dead look- €d down on the solemn ceremony will sive way to a simple scene in the Marion cemetery which will commit ‘Warren Harding to the tomb like other native sons before him. Leaves Capitol Forever Warren Harding left Washington forever last night; and today he will be back among the home folks he loved so well, to remain until judg- ment. . The same train which bore him away from the capitol confident and well a few short weeks ago and then returned him for a short day of cere- mony a figure of history 'departed from Washington at slx o'clock last night for the last part of its sorrow- ful journey, Immediately afterward it wiljgbe dissembled and never run as cne train again, Tonight another train bearing a president westward will roll out of fhe capital; but it will not take Calvin Coolidge to represent at Marion the government over which he now pre- sides. He will go, rather, to pay the homage of a plain ‘American at the tomb of a fallen chieftain, and to give expression to his personal sorrow over the loss of a dead friend, At yester- day’s funeral ceremonies his was among the most solemn of the many solemn faces in the great procession of woe that passed up Pennsylvania avenue. For to know Warren Hard- ing well was to love him, ana Calvin Coolidge had come thus to know and lové him through months of close as- soclation. But among all of those in the sor- rowful caravan of yesterday the one that will linger longest among the memories of that sad day is not Presi- dent Coolidge; nor Woodrow Wilson, nor Willlam Howard Taft, although they too rde behind the flag en- shruded casket with a full under- standing of the tragedy which had taken place in the life of one who had planned and aspired to great things. K Widow Bears Up Well “All three of these will be remember- ed long as notable figures in a no- table outpouring of a nation's grief. but the one who will be remembered even longer is Mrs. Harding who had done much to make Warren Harding the leader he became, and on whom the blow had fallen with a rushing gwiftness, not to be compared to the pain feit by any other. The president’s widow through all the trying ordeal had made gocd her anguished promise spoken to those about her when, at the moment death closed her husband's eyes, she said: “I am not going to hreak down; I simply mustn't; I won't break down.” All through yesterday when thous- ands who claimed him only as a presi- # dent, failed to choke back their tears, she, who knew him as a husband, had stified the outward signs of grief. She sat by his coffin with a fortitude that won her the love and sympathy of everyone, determined to lay him in his tomb among his townsmen with the calm she feels is due him. That last sad duty performed, Mrs. Harding plans to return to Washing- ton to gather up the Harding home things in the White House and then go back to take her place again in Marion, among the home folks, and near the last resting place of her be- loved dead. WAY ERECT NAUSOLEDN T0P OF INDIAN MOUND Several New Plans For Final Resting Place of Late President Are Puat Forward By The Associated Press. . Marion, O., Aug. 9.—Eventually the bady of Warren G. Harding may find a final resting place on the top of an old Indian Mound just east of this city and overlooking the home where he lived for so many years and where he made f: front porch campaign for the presi- dency. Close personal friends of the late president have started a movement to that end, and which may include the erection of a suitabl® mausoleum with funds to be derived from the sale of gold dollars—the same plan put forward in obtaining funds for the memorial to President Willlam McKinley at Niles, Ohio. As soon as possible the plan will be submitted to Mrs. Harding. The Indian Mound lies just east of the cemetery where the presi- dent’s body will be intombed Friday and is a beautiful grassy hill some 75 feet higher than the surrounding country. It is studded with many forest trees and is one of the most beautiful spots near Marion. Cemetery authorities let it become known today that more than a year ago, E. K. Uhler, a friend of Mr. Harding, had reserved an acre of ground in one of the most beautiful egpots in the Marion cemetery as a possible burial place for Mr. Hard- ing. In reserving the space Mr. Uhlar told cemetery officials that “some day we may have to bury a president or former president of the United States here." The site of this wcre plot is near where President Harding’s mother is buried. BODY OF THE LATE PRESIDENT AS IT LIE IN STATE IN EAST ROOM OF THE WHITE HOUSE THE MARINE HONOR GUARD.

Marion, O., Aug. 9.—Since daylight today roads leading into Marion have been pouring people into the city. Long before daylight crowds started to assemble at the Union station, where the body of the late president | was to arrive. All along the line which the funeral cortege will take from the station to the home of Dr, G. T. Harding, father of the presi- dent, on East Center street, people ‘were crowding and jamming the side- walks. No one is permitted on streets, troops constantly for¢ing them to remain outside the curb. Everyone was orderly and there was little nois Military officials in charge of pa- trolling the roads leading into Marion said today from present indications more than 100,000 people will be here before night fall. No vehicular traf- fic was permitted on the city’s streets except cars of the official reception committee and military automobiles. The residence of Dr. George T. | Harding, the dead president's father and the Harding home, made famous during the front porch campaign three years ago, were the centers of interest. ASK.

HIS VIEW ON LIFE ‘Who Performs Service Surely Will Live Again. By The Associated Press. Marion, Aug. 9.—Three days before Mr, Harding was inaugurated presi- dent of the United States he was made a member of Commandery, Knights Templar, at a special con- clave. After being knighted Mr. Har- ding stated in part: “I love these reproductions of tra- dition. Tradition seldom has pre- served anything not worth while. I have loved the story of Christ. You can bring it home to every man. Every man has his Gethsemane. Every man has his cross and the measure of man- kind is how he bears it. Some fall under it. Some dic upon it, but the man who performs a service in life never fails to live aglin. “There’s a finer knighthood today | than in the days of the crusaders only | we evidence differently. The world is growing better every day. One of the ve disciples betrayed Christ. To- | day were there a Judas in 12, it would I'mean an upheaval. We are going on {to a finer and a better order in the | world.

In less than 24 hours after Presi- dent Coolidge arrived in Washington to take up the reins of government, Senator Brandegee called at his sulte in the Willard hotel, where the execu- tive offices are temporarily located, | and was closeted with the new presi- dent over two hours. It is fair to as-| sume that President Coolidge sum- | moned Senator Brandegee to council with him because Brandegee is de- cidedly not of the type to protrude his views upon anyonc without solicita- tion. In Pops Brandegee Senator Brandegee bobhed up from nowhere apparently at the summons | of the new chief execcutive and, his conference over, disappeared as quick- ly as he came and has not called | again. Since the senate adjourned on | March 4th, the whercabouts of Bran- degee has' been a complete mystery except to one or two close friends. President Coolidge must have been one of the chosen because he had not been more than a few hours on the new job before in popped Brandegee apparently in response to executive summone, The Connecticut senator has a home | at New London which he gets to very | seldom; in Washington he has one of | the national capital at the corner of 17th and Eye gtreets where he is seldom see a country home at Rockville, M§ acres, 10 miles out of Washington where it is vaguely believed he spends most of his time, Discuss World Court When Senator Brandegee left his conference with the president he de- clined to discuss with waiting news- paper correspondents the subjects which had been discussed, and subse- auent efforts to draw from President | Coolidge information as to what they talked about have been quite tutile, | But from remarks made to others by | the president it is learned that the world court, the hobby of the late President Harding, was the chief topic | and that from that the whole gamut of national and international affairs was run, Aside from the fact that they are | close friends—thas is, as close as any- one is a friend to President Coolidge— the new president doubtless sought counsel from Brandegee because knew he would get the plain, true, un- garnished facts about national and in- ternational affairs without bias or frills, no matter if it pleased or dis- appointed. ‘Brandegee is honest, trank and outspoken to a fault, and courageous. It would mean nothing to him if Coolidge differed with him and he would take no pains to present 1 he Coolidge knew that; he wanted the truth, doubtiess he got it from Brans ' degee. Coolidge Holds Aloof It s doubtful if there was ever & vice-president who “mixed” so little with memBers of the senate as Coolidge, who presided over that body for 29 months and apparently had not a single close friend or confidant among its 96 members. He exchang- ed but few words beyond a “good morning” or ‘“good afternoon™ with more than two or three senators. The exceptions were Senator Bran- degee of Connecticut and Senator Cur- tis of Kansas. Naturally, when he came to Washington to take up his new duties as president he confided again in Brandegee and Curtis. With Brandegee he was closeted two hours, and with Curtis he had two or three conversations lasting about five min- utes each. Almost every president has had one or two men in the senate and house to whom he looked for counsel on con- gressional matters, and who served as | the medium for making the views and desires of the chief executive known privately to the men on Capitol Hill Brandegee scems destined to be the mouthpiece of President on Capitol Hill and to be the principal adviser of the president as to the attitude and intention of congress. Senator Brandegec of Connecticut may be for President Coolidge what Senator Mark Hanna was for Presi- dent McKinley. IF KIDNEYS ACT BAD TAKE SALTS Says Backadhe Often Means You Have Not Been Drinking Enough Water. When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it may mean you have been eating foods which create acids, says a well- known authority.

When your kidneys get slug- | gish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels, remov« ing all the body urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. Either consult a good, reliable rhysician at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a'féw days and your kidneys may then act fine.
