IT MEANS MORE TRADE
Passage of Tariff and Currency Bills
as Viewed in London.

London, Jan. 21.-The United States
tariff act and the currency bill, passed
by the American congress, were the
most important events of the year
1913, in the commercial world, ac-
cording to Sir Felix Schuster, governor
of the Union OF London and Smiths
bank, in his general review of the
financial and trade outlook, read at
the annual meeting today. He con-
tinued:
These two measures must have far
reaching consequences for they have
made the United States a more for
midable competitor than ever before,
not only as regards international
commerce, but as threatening Lon
don's position as the center of interna-
tional banking
Sir Felix said he had no doubt that
commerce would be slim mulated by
these enactments and that Great Brit
aims trade with the United States
would be increased to the advantage
of both nations

LESS MEAT IF
KIDNEYS HURT


If you must have your meat every
day. eat it. but flush your kidneys with
salts occasionally. says q noted au-
thority who tells US that meat forms
uric acid which almost paralyxes the
kidneys 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,
dizziness. your stomach sours, tongue
is coated and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full OF sediment, the
channels often get sore and irrita ted,
obliging you to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush on the
body's urinous waste get four ounces
of Jad Salts from any pharmacy here;
take tablespoonful in a glass of wa
ter 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, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush and stimulate
sluggish kidneys. also to neutralixe the
acids in urine, SO 1t no longer irritates,
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure and makes a delightful effer-
vescent lithfa-water drink.-Adv.

DRUMMERS HOLD OUT
Not One Player Signed-Wnl See
Tebeau About Team.

ST. Joseph, Jan. 21.-That every
Drummer Of 1913 is a hold-out and
has returned his contract unsigned
was the startling statement by Jack
Holland, owner Of the st. Joseph base
ball club. Holland says that there u
not one Of his old players who has
contracted to play next season, each
one asking for raise in salary.
$50 far as am concerned they can
quit the game" Holland declared with
considerable feeling. They think
that the Federal league scare can
serve the purpose of bringing mo
around to time and that every one of
them will get more pay, whether they
deserve it or not. They will find
themselves badly mistaken As for
that matter, can go to the major
leagues and fill every position on the
team and turn out a winning aggre-
cation. It's all right for some Of them
to ask for more money when they de-
serve 1T. but when they can't deliver
the goods for what they are getting
they are doing well to be kept on my
club
Holland announced that Bobby
Meinke, the popular shortstop, has
sent him word that he has quit base
ball forever. Bob is nearly thirty
years old and considers that he has
seen about enough service on the dia-
mond. At present he and his wife are
living in Chicago, and he is working
in the Office OF a telephone company
Holland, Rourke and Isbell spent
Saturday night in Kansas City con-
ferring with Secretary Savage Of the
Kansas City American association
club in regard to the proposed move
ment to transfer the Wichita fran
chise to Kansas City. The trio expect
to be in Chicago Wednesday for the
purpose of meeting George Tebeau,
owner of the Kansas City club, who
will be there for the association meet
ing Thursday. Then they expect to
find out what he is going to do about
the Wichita deal, whether he is going
to let them do all the work or get in
and help himself. If he does not do
what is wanted then it is probable
that a Western league club will be
placed in Kansas City, Kan.

Home Rule

Home rule has been q much
discussed political question.
Home rule for woman is the
generally accepted domestic
situation.
Every wife has her own lit
tie kingdom to govern and
has to face the problems and
responsibilities it entails.
Not the least of these prob
lens is the monthly budget"
The woman who keeps
count of her expenditures,
makes up her monthly state
ment, and compares it with
those of former months, is the
one who is guarding her
treasury properly.
But she should go q step
farther-Sh should be sure
that she has had full value for
the money spent and, in order
to ascertain this, she should
read the daily advertisements
of The State Journal and see
what the best shops are offer
ing and at what prices.

This same board of directors has sug-

just enough to include their own personal

Job.
Job is convinced of his ignorance.
Gods power IL compared to mans

Job makes humble confession.
Job intercedes for his friends, Is

life and character of Job. Smitten.

the presence Of God. from the abyss
of darkness, doubt and despair. Job
comes forth to shed new light on the
path of life. Jobs outlook after the
struggle surely proved the word OF
God which says, I'VE know that all
things work together for good to them
that love God" and also that "our
light affliction which il for the mo-

revelation Of God as advocate and re-
deemer and the foregleams Of a splen-

prosperous, the greatest of the sons OF
the east would have been soon forgot

full servant Of God, will live to impart
light and blessing to each new gener-
alton. Affliction and suffering are not
