1t is generally admitted, and by
none more emphatically than con-
gressmen's wives, that a woman's hrst
season in official life in Washington
is a lonely one. However conscienti-
ously she may make her calls, and
observe her days at home. she often
feels an uncomfortable sense OF de-
tachment from the life and people
about her. And however adaptable
Ishe may be to her new environment,
she rarely finds herself before the
end of a second winter at the capital.
A happy exception to this rule is
Mrs. John Jacob Rogers, wife OF
Representative Rogers, Of Lowell,
Massachusetts. Her husband sue
ceeded Butler Ames, and is one of the
republican members of the foreign af-
fairs and elections No. 2 committees.
Widely travelled good linguist,
fond of out-of-door sports and OF So
ciety. she entered upon life at the capt.
tai few months ago with zest and
enjoyment that have made her al
ready one of the best liked women in
the congressional set. She is mem

right, and Iris departed for New York.
In an attempt to forget his shat

cozy home of the Lanes, where he and
Iris had spent many happy evenings

Iris. The little matron knew that Iris
would never marry any one save Evan
Blair, but that he should be taught
to appreciate the girl was also part
Of Mrs. Lanes scheme.
So it was. from time to time. Blair
heard of the splendid times Iris was
having in the city. Knowing it to have
been the cause of the trouble, Mrs.
Lane wisely refrained from speaking
of the progress Iris was making in her
dramatic work.
After six months of study Iris had
been given an afternoon at one Of the
larger hotels and the newspapers had
given her great praise.
Blair would have given much for a
glimpse of those letters which his
hostess read excerpts from but he only
sat back with gloomy eyes.

Blair Lane suggested in an effort to
lift the shadows from his friends eyes.
Lets have it," said Blair and they
repaired to the room where the talk

entertainment. Blair sank into the
chair that had become his.
Mrs Lane ensconced herself and
turned to Blair. "You are to listen to

PEELED today, when the body Of the

missing girl by means of a signet
ring and two stickpins and the shoes

SALTS + KIDNEYS
OR BLADDER BOTHER
Harmless to flush Kidneys and neutral
ise irritating acids Splendid
for system.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says a noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder, where
it often remains to irritate and infame,
causing q burning, scalding sensation, or
setting up an irritation at the neck Of
the bladder, obliging you to seek relief
two or three times during the night.
The sufferer is in constant dread, the
water passes sometimes with a scalding
sensation and is very profuse; again,
there is difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call it,
because they can't control urination.
While it is extremely annoying and some.
times very painful this is really one Of
the most simple ailments to overcome.
Get shout fouf ounces of Jad Salts
from your pharmacist and take q table
spoonful in q glass of water before
breakfast, continue this for two or three
days. This will neltralize the acids in
the urine so it no longer is a source of
irritation to the bladder and urinary or.
gans which then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
is used by thousands Of folks who arc
subject to urinary disorders caused by
uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is splen-
did for kidneys and causes 10 bad
effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, effervescent
Whitewater drink, which quickly relieves
bladder trouble.
