QUIT MEAT IF YOUR
KIDNEYS ACT BADLY

We are a nation OF meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid,
says well-known authority, who
warns us to be constantly on guard
against kidney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to
| free the blood Of this irritating acid
but become weak from the overwork;
they get sluggish; the eliminative It's
sues clog and thus the waste Is re-
tanned in the blood to poison the eh-
tire system. /,
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps OF lead. and you have
singing pains in the back or the
urine is cloudy full Of sediment, or
the bladder is irritable, obliging you
to seek relief during the night; when
you have severe headaches, nervous
and dizzy spells, sleeplessness. acid
stomach or rheumatism in bad wealth
er, get from your pharmacist about
four ounces of Jad Salts; take Ia
lblespoonful in a glass OF water before
breakfast each morning and in few
days your kidneys will act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid OF
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for
generations to flush and stimulate
clogged kidneys. to neutralize the
acids in urine so it is no longer q
source Of irritation, thus ending
urinary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
rot injure; makes delightful effer-

q little occasionally to keep the. kid

Mrs. Gerhard
Has Political
Aspirations
FArRMoNT WOMAN WILL RUN
FOR MEMBER OF BOARD
OF EDUCATION.
SHE IS SEEKING THE OFFICE
ON THE SOCIALIST
TICKET.

1t is a rather novel thing in the
state of West Virginia to have q
woman as candidate for an elective
office but this is just what has hap
pened in Fairmont Independent dis
trict where Mrs. Frank Gerhard, of
G15 Locust avenue, is a candidate OH
the Socialist ticket as an aspirant
for the office OF member of the board
Of education. If the plans of the So.
cialist party are not changed, her
name will be certified to the ballot
commissioners as the party candidate
and placed upon the official ballot tc
be voted upon November Sd.
While in seveTal Of the states In
the union, the women are allowed
lequal rights with the men in voting
land holding office and in number
of others where they are not allowed
to vote. they can hold office as mem
bcrs Of school boards, still in West
Virginia, the constitution even for.
bids the fairer sex this privilege and
makes it unlawful for any person
who is not male citizen to be elect.
ed or appointed as an officer.
The following is few extracts
taken from the constitution of tho
state and the code which would for
bid Mrs. Gerhard from holding Of
flee, even II the voters on election
day should decide by their ballots
that she is the person wanted to
serve on the school board for the
next four years.
Article 4, section a OF the constitu-
tion says: "No person except citi-
zen entitled to vote shall be elected
or appointed to any state, county or
municipal office" The same article
in section / says, "The male citizens
Of the state shall be entitled to vote
at all elections held within the coun-
ties in which they respectively re-
side"
The fact that woman cannot
vote in this state would make her
election illegal in the eyes of the law
Section 2041 OF the code says, "Ev'
cry president and commissioner Of
the board Of education, elected with
| In this state, shall within ten days
after HIS election has been duly de-
clared, qualify as such by taking
and subscribing before some one duly
eauthortzcd to administer oaths, with
in his county the oath of office pre-,
scribed by section 5 article Of the
constitution"
Here again the word "HIs" which
is used in referring to the president
,r member of the board, makes the
law very plain that q woman is in
eligible to the office.
While the law would seem to pro-
hibit d woman holding office in this
state there are many reasons why
they should be eligible, at least, to
,erve on the school boards, and many
believe they should be eligible, to
Hold any office within the gift of the
people.

GETS MOOSE CONVENTION
National Meeting of Big FraternaI Or
der Comes to Milwaukee
July 27 to Aug. /.

Milwaukee.-M Milwaukee gets the
1914 national Moose convention Word
was received here by National Organ
izer Arthur Brookwell from the SUI
preme council that it had voted the
gathering to this city over Chicago.
The announcement ends a long sus-
pense during which it was believed
for some time that the gathering was
going to Chicago. The Milwaukee
lodge, Milwaukee No. 40 and Cream
City No. 1876, kept up the fight and
won over the Chicago organizations to
the support of this city.
The meeting, which will be held the
week of July q to Aug. 1, inclusive,
will bring at least 10000 persons to
Milwaukee from all parts of the coun-
try. Owing to the proximity to Chi
cago and Mooseheart, the national
Moose home, it is believed the Mil
waukee meeting may even reach 3d.
900, by far the largest attendance in
the history of the organization.

WALDENSIAN CRURCH IN ROME
New Edifice In Eternal City Was

Rome.-The Waldensian church has
planted itself in the Eternal City, says
the Literary Digest. In February a
new church edifice, presented by Mrs.
John S. Kennedy of New York was
dedicated. Standing on the Piazza
Cavour, it is called by the Record of
Christian Work May "a noble stone
structure, the finest Protestant edifice
in Italy. Moreover:
''The decoration Of the pulpit with
in includes paneled figures of Luther,
Calvin, Savonarola and Arnold Of
Brescia At the dedicatory services
were present the representatives OF
the Waldensian church from all parts
of Italy and Of all the evangelical
churches of Rome, together with many
notables - Professor Schiaparelli,
Romolo Murri, Senators Bodio and
Soulier, the minister Of Holland, etc.
Interesting was the prologue to Pastor
Muston's address, when one consid-
ers the persecution to which the Scrip
lures we're subjected in ancient times.
Ascending to the pulpit, the great
Bible in his hand, he said:
In the name Of the Father, Son and
Holy Spirit we place on the pulpit
the book of truth. May it never be
removed thence! Revelation Of the

NARROWED FOR THREE WEEKS
Starving Man Found on Small Island
In Lake Erie by Fish
ing Party.

Middle Bass Island, Ohio-That he
was taken to Middle Sister island,
Lake Erie, and left there three weeks,
by a man who said he owned the
place and who left him food enough
to last week, at the expiration OF
which time he promised to be back,
but failed to put in an appearance, is
the story told by Henry Adair, fifty
who says he lives in Detroit, brought
here by members of a fishing party
who rescued him.
Members of the party, fishing in
Lake Erie off Middle Sister island, iso-
lated near the Canadian line IL miles
from here, were attracted by the fran
tic waving of shirt Drawing closer,
they discovered Adair. He was pale
and emaciated All he had left OF, his
store of food was few crusts OF
bread.
Adair told his rescuers he could not
recall the name of the man who had
put him on the island, taking him
from Put-in-Bay in a rented power
boat, as he had never met him until
just a short time before he was ac-
costed in Detroit and asked If he
wanted employment. He said he was
supposed to have been employed to
look after the premises, although he
found on arriving on the island there
was practically nothing to look after.

SEIDEL FOR SENATOR
STATE TICKET NOMINATED BY
SOCIAL DEMOCRATS.
Oscar Amerinser, Milwaukee, Picked
to Make Race for Governor-Qualify
Church Tax Resolution.

MilWaukee.-Oscar Ameringer and
Emil Seidel, Milwaukee, were nomi-
mated for governor and United States
senator, respectively, by the state So
cial Democratic convention.
On the ticket with them are:
Lieutenant Governor c. MEGA
leb, La Crosse.
Secretary of state-F. w. Rehfeld,
Milwaukee.
Attorney General Lynn D. Joseph,
Green Bay.
State Treasurer e. D. Deuss, She
boygan
Two important stands were taken:
An adoption of a plank in the state
platform providing for the taxation of
all property except that used directly
for educational, charitable or church
purposes.
The adoption of resolution provid-
ing for a state referendum prohibiting
any member of the party from voting
for candidates on other tickets in local
or general elections, whether the So
cial-Democratic party has candidate
for the position in the field or not.
No question was ever more bitterly
fought by Socialist convention than
the proposition to tax church proper
ty. The original resolution provided
for the taxation of all property in
Guiding state lands, church, education
al and charitable institution holdings.
The resolution got through without
being noticed and the convention vot-
ed then to add the following clause:
Provided, however, that we favor the
exemption of all property used for
worship, for school or charitable pur-
poses, but not the exemption of prop
erty held by religious associations for
speculation"

COURT RULE HITS SUPERIOR
Head of the Lakes Has Territory
Similar to That Affected by Liquor
Decision in Minnesota.

Superior the decision of the
United States Supreme court uphold
ing the treaty of 1856 under which sa-
looms may be eliminated from a large
portion of Minnesota means the carry
ing up for a decision of the similar
treaty of 1916 with the Chippewa
tribes covering the greater part of
northern Wisconsin is believed here
by those who have looked into the
situation. 1t is said that the Anti
Saloon league and allied forces stand
ready to take this action, confident
that the high court of the nation must
take the same view of this treaty as
of the other.
The treaty of 1916 contained prac-
tically the same clause regarding the
lands upon which the Indians would
be likely to roam as did the treaty of
1865 Included within the territory
which would be made dry" if the old
er treaty is strictly interpreted and
enforced are Ashland and a number of
the towns between Superior and that
city as well as south. That Superior
may also be included is considered a
strong probability.
The Wisconsin Anti-Saloon league
expects to bring test suit to deter
mine whether any of the Indian ceded
land in this state is made dry by the
decision in the Minnesota case.

COMMISSION SETS
HOURS FOR WOMEN
PEA PACKING COMPANIES ADJ
vIsED OF NEW RULES FOR
FEMALE LABOR.
RUSH PERIOD RECOGNIZED
Old Time Records Must be Sent to
Madison for Examination by State
Board-Fewer Violations are
Expected.

Madison.-Well in advance of the
opening of the pea canning season the
industrial commission has advised all
wisconsin pea packing companies OF
It's new orders for the regulating of
hours of employment for women. The
department now has complete, data on
the tremendous Importance of the in
dustry, and also possesses complete
records of experience on employment
of women and children The pea can
ming industry means something like
$6,OOO,OO0 year to Wisconsin manu-
facturers In 1913 the total output of
the eighty factories was 3,088,875 cases
or 100000 cans of peas. This repre-
sents about SO per cent of the total
output of the United States.
The chief problem in the pea can
ming industry is the rapid and
prompt handling of the freshly pick
ed peas in order that they may not
have time to deteriorate before be-
ing sealed in the cans. The indus
trial commission, by a special order,
has provided for such contingencies,
but has SO limited the operation of
the order that no employer can
stretch point in order to employ
women for excessive hours. During
the rush season and in case of abb
normal conditions brought about by
breakdowns, bad weather or climatic
changes, women engaged in can
ming may be employed not to exceed
twelve hours each day, exclusive of
meal times, but these twelve hour
days are limited to fifteen in the sea-
son. Employers must provide for a
period of rest of at least nine con-
secutive hours from the end of work
on any one day to the beginning of
work ON the next day.
1t is the intention of the commits
sion to have several members of the
field force engaged solely in the in
spection of pea canning factories.
These inspectors will have access to
all the time records and their re-
ports will be made direct to the COM
mission Fines for violations of law
were collected last year from fifteen
canning companies. The commission
expects that the companies this year
will avoid further prosecutions.
