All Together for Philadelphia

TNHB end Of a cramped Philadelphia is IN
- sight The citizens themselves are about
to thunder forth their demand for an imperial
metropolis. They are about to throw the
hangbacks and obstructionists into the dis
card, They are about to thrust aside any
leadership which is afraid to look the future
in the face or is so wrapped up in provincial
ism and so lacking i'm vision that it cannot
glimpse the splendid destiny of this common
wealth within city.
The campaign OF education waged during
the last few weeks has co-ordlnated public
sentiment and read into the purpose Of prac-
tically all citizens the determination to have
rapid transit and have 1t quick The crusade
of Director Taylor. reinforced by the COM
prehensive articles in the EVENING LEDGER,
has brought all sections together. The de-
mand is unanimous There is no hesitation,
no doubt, for now Philadelphia knows what
it wants and Philadelphia intends to get it.
The mass meeting on January Ia will make
rapid transit a certainty. 1t will be a demon
stration unparalleled in American municipal
life. In it every class, section, interest and
division will participate There is no need
for initiative or referendum for more power
tul even than a verdict at the polls is a vol !
untary outpouring OF citizens, in vast num-
bers, in support of one al-important program
and enterprise. In such cases the voice of
the people has in it the quick impact of light
ming and the resonance of thunderbolts.
There Is no conspiracy that can stand against
it, and before it secret agreements for OBJ
struction become meaningless.
Philadelphia cannot and will not bow to
the will or pleasure of the Union Traction
Company stockholders or any corporations
when the interests of her working men and
women at stake" said Director Taylor
last night, and he voiced the deliberate de-
termination Of the city when he said it. This
s an issue that permits of no buncofnbe, and
Is far as the play of politics is concerned the
lights are out. Councils will not fail to regis
er the will of so vast a gathering. 1t will be
he recording instrument of the mass-meet-
ngs determination.
The period of doubt and hesitation. of oh
truction and holding back, is over. A better /
and greater Philadelphia is in s
sht. New arteries that make for growth
nd without which metropolitan future
annot be assured will be constructed. Let
anuary Il be made a red letter day in the h
alendar of Philadelphia's achievement. Let n
be complete demonstration of the power p
the people. The answer to the problem -
rapid transit will be found in the magni- is
Ide of the demonstration. fe

MEAT CAUSE OF
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take Glass of Salts If Your Rack
Hurts or Bladder Bothers-Meat
Forms Uric Acid

If you must have your meat every
day. eat it, but flush your kidneys with
salts occasionally, says noted author
ity who tells us that meat forms uric
acid which almost paralyzes the kid
neys in their efforts to expel it from
the blood. They become sluggish and
weaken, then you suffer with a dull
misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in the back or sick headache, diz-
ziness, 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 or three
times during the night
To neutralize these Irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off the
body's urinous waste get four ounces of
Jad Salts from any pharmacy here;
take tablespoonful in glass of water
before breakfast for few days and
your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for genera
tions to flush and stimulate sluggish
kidneys, also to neutralize the acids
in urine. so it no longer irritates, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure, and makes a delightful efferves-
cent lithia-water drink. Adv.

fact, are intended to appeal to the
baser instincts of tha people to swell

- EVerywomap' breaches sermon,
but it is not the kind of sermon that
tempts you to doze off after the first
five minutes. The moral lesson that it
teaches is weaved into a fabric in which
other ingredients are humor, opportuni-

matte acting, gaiety and good music.
The scenery and scenic effects are beau
tiful and wonderfully rich in every de-
tail. Typica! of the complete equip
ment of the show is the fact that in
its own orchestra which the company
carries there is an organ.
The company is the most capable one
that has played in the Majestic this
season, without a doubt. Miss Edna

Frank donned a pair of overalls and

The show is going to be some sue

crowd approXimated 1000, two more
exhibitors engaged space in the show
for next year. Two policemen and a
fireman patrolled the exhibit space, but
they did not push the crowd out into

getting samples, being tolerant they al
lowed them to take a seat and listen
to the music by the Updegrove orches,

HELP COMES QUICKLY
When Hyomei Is Used for Head Colds,
Catarrh or Group

When your head is all stuffed mp
causing You dull headaches, difficult
breathing, constant smiling, and YOU
feel generally miserable, there is moth
ing quite equal to Hyomei to give
quick, effective and lasting benefit
yet perfectly harmless, simple to use
and inexpensive.
TO get quick and certain relief from
eatarrh or a cold it is most important
that the medication goes directly to the
infamed tissue lining the air passages.
That's the Hyomei method. just put
few drops Of antiseptic Hyomei in
inhaler that comes with every complete
outfit, and breathe it--you will feel
better at once. 1t clears the head,
quickly relieves the tightness in the
chest and that ehoked-up feeling, all
disagreeable nasal discharges, wate;y
eyes and dull headaches surely cease.
So certain is II. c. Kennedy of the
curative powers of Hyomei for catarrh
Group. asthma, and similar diseases
that he sells it ON the "No-cure-no-pay'
plan. ADV.
