If KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache is sign you have BEEN
eating too much meat, which
forms uric acid.

When YOU wake up with backache and
dull misery in the kidney region it gen.
orally means you have been eating too
much meat, says a well-known authority.
Meat forms uric acid which overworks
the kidneys in their effort to filter it
from the blood and they become sort OF
paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys
get sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels; re-
moving all the body's urinous waste,
elsa you have backache, sick headache,
dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue
is coated, and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The urina
is cloudy, full of sediment, channels ofren
get sore, water scalds and you are obliged
to seek relief two or three times during
the night.
Either consult good, reliable Physi-
clan at once or get from your pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
q tablespoonful in a 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 hthia,
and has been used for generations to
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize acids in the urine so II
no longer initiates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is life saver for regular.
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes a delightful, ener-
vescent lithia-wat ter drink.

WOMEN IN DANCER
. OF LOSING VOTES
Rumor Persistent That Supreme
4 Court Will Hold Laws
unconstitutional.
HITS SCHOOL RIGHTS, TOO
Decision Is Expected at the End Of the
Present Term About June 10
in Springfield.

The Chicago Tribune OF today says:
There was an entirely fresh rumor out
yesterday among politicians as TO what
the Illinois supreme court will deter
mine as to the constitutionaIity OF the
woman suffrage act
Somebody got the idea that the jus
lice will knock out not only the latest
act. comforting the right 20 vote for
al statutory Offices upon women, but
will go behind the returns and re-
verse earlier decisions which upheld
the right of women to vote for school
officers and for trustees OF the Univer-
sfty OF Illinois. a privilege possessed
since the early nineties.
Would Wipe Out All Votes
The effect Of such a decision would
be to wipe out all vestige OF woman
suffrage in Illinois and compel a con-
stitutional amendment before wonen
could have any qualifications as elect
ors or as election officials
THE June term OF the supreme
court is now in session at Springfield.
Close observers believe the courts de-
cfsion on the suffrage question will
be handed down at the close Of the
term, or about June IS or 10.
The source OF the 'hunch' outlined
was not disclosed. II received consid
cradle credence in some quarters. In
other quarters the rumor was discred-
tied. Several experienced politicians
held the belief that the opinion. when
made. will uphold the constitutionality
OF the 1913 act, especially so far as the
right to vote for statutory officers is
concerned. and probably as to the right
to vote on public policy and other
questions, such as the local option is
sue.
THE theory behind the knockout
expectation is that the court by a ma |
jority vote expects 10 hold the 1913 |
act unconstitutional and that this is |
impossible so long as the older decis- |
ions which permitted women to vote |
for school trustees. members OF boards |
of education, and university trustees 1
remain in force. The idea is that the /
constitution OF 1870. as a whole, con-
only full man suffrage, and |
that II the 1913 act must go, everything
else must go with it.

cause an employee of the D. Keller
Construction company forgot to look
| at his watch that concern lost out on
| a $4,000 sewer contract for the city of
Davenport. Some time ago the board
of public works advertised for bids for
sewer construction and alley paving,
and stipulated that all figures would
have to be in the hands of the board
by o'clock on the afternoon of June 2.
The Keller company figured on the
sewer construction work and the pa
pers were brought in at exactly two
minutes after o'clock. The Keller
company's bid was from $500 to $500
under the next lowest bid, but the
board was forced to ignore it. The Hy-
draulic Construction company was
awarded the contract for the sewer
on Sturdevant street, while the D. j.

tract for the construction of the sewer
on Telegraph road, from Indian road
west, while the balance OF the WORK
went to the Hydraulic Construction

that woman voters have the right I'M
der the primary act to sign petitions
for candidates for state central commit
teemen. and forward committeeman in
the Cook county territory within the
jurisdiction OF the Chicago board of

Judge Owens ruled these commit

created to carry out the will of the
party voters, and that women are
members OF the political party with
which they are affiliated.
Judge Owens directed that the
board of election commissioners take
the necessary steps to have his order
enforced, and that women be recog-
nized officially as possessed of equal
qualification with men in all party
matters.

BErTERIEG THE SERVICE TO TOURISTS

The Star Bulletin publishes on another page
today a stcnographc report Of a talk recently
given to the Honolulu Al Club by +. e. Weber.

tourists to Hawaii. This paper believes that

what criticisms tourists have to make of Ha-
wall That's the only way to better service and
10 send away the visitors in the satisfied frame
Of mind that makes them boosters for Hawaii.
"The satisfied tourist is the greatest adver-
tisemcnt any country can have" says Mr.,
Weber That is particularly true of the tour
lists who come to Hawaii. ...
The new Promotion Committee is wideawakc
TO the need for paying more attention 10 the
tourist and the tourists needs after he gets To
Hawaii. This is a matter that the Star Bulletin
and the Advertiser have urged repeatedly for
several years past, but lack Of funds has always
served as an explanation for the failure to take
up and remedy a number of faults in local
tourist service.
As Mr. Weber emphasizes. Hawaii "has the
goods the goods in climate, scenery and in
people who are hospitable, courteous and
anxious to give the visitor pleasurabe stay
here
Tourist service needs thorough organization,
The elimination of petty discomforts, of small
i0vereharges, of haphazard arrangements. The
average tourist wants to see much OF Hawaii
as possible with as little physical discomfort as
possible 1t is the exceptional man or the ex-
ceptional woman who likes to "rough it,
The meeting of the Promotion Committee
yesterday afternoon, with its discussion of
- n
pier at Waikiki and better accommodations for
those who take the wonderful trip to Halea-
kala, shows that the committee is going after
service in an energetic way.
It's up to Hawaii to stand by the Promotion
rommittee-with good suggestions, with moral
support, with financial support.
