EAT LESS MEAT
If BACK HURTS
Take a glass of Salts to
flush kidneys if blad-
der .bothers you

4 Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says well-known authority,
because the uric acid In meat excites
the kidneys, they become overworked:
get sluggish: clog up and cause all
sorts of distress, particularly back
ache and misery in the kidney region;
rheumatic twinges, severe headaches,
acid stomach, constipation, torpid liv-
er. sleeplessness, bladder and urinary
irritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right or if bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take "a tablespoonful in a glass of wa
ter before breakfast for a 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 clogged kid
neys and Stimulate them to normal
activity; also to neutralize the acids in
the urine SO it no longer irritates thus
ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which millions of men
and women take now and then to keep
the kidneys and urinary organs clean,
thus avoiding serious kidney disease.

many of our farmers. Those same
farmers are prosperous today, for
wheat exports have been unprecedent-
ed in amount and at profitable prices.
Cotton has begun TO move and
existing arrangements promise relief
from the shadow which has so long
hung over our fellow citizens in the
South If both money and crops are
in far better conditions than they
were months ago and if both are In
some respects in excellent condition,
the same is true of our industries.
They are not all fully occupied as
facts in the iron and steel trade show,
and there remains still a surplus of
idle cars. one does not hear as much
of the number of cars in use as is
said of those which are idle, and one
wonders whether the proportion of
idle cars to the total, if it were stat
ed, would not give a different impress
sion from that which is made by the
present form of statement.
'On many sides mills are busy and
factories running full time or over
time; the number of unemployed is
steadily getting less. The coming
winter throws no such dark shadow
before as was feared few weeks
ago, and the statement is beginning
to be heard here and there that goods
cannot be delivered as promptly as
they are wanted because the factories
are too busy
THE world abroad, both at that
part of it which is in arms, and that
which is at peace, is turning toward
America for large portions of its sup
plies, and the phrase Buy it in Amer
lea has come to have a potency that
has hitherto been lacking The i'm
provement in conditions, however, is
not wholly due to the war. Great and
growing as our exports are they form
but a small portion of all of the total
business that is going on and which is
constantly increasing. A knowledge
that products can be sold: the GER
tainty that money can be had to
finance business and enterprise, facts
like these have brought fresh conf
dence into our domestic markets at
the same time that foreign buyers
have entered them.
We may be grateful therefore not
only that we are far better off than
our suffering brethren beyond the sea,
but that we are better placed our
selves at home than we were few
weeks since. We may be glad that the
present is good, thankful that it is
growing better and hopeful for the
coming months

SECRETARY REDF|ELD DECL ARES HOPE
IN OUTLOOK FOR VENTURES OF U. s.

Washington, Nov. 16.-While the
forces of the government are being
modified in ever-increasing strength
in the warning countries OF Europe,
constructive agencies, public and pri-
vate, are at work on this side of the
Atlantic and resources of peace are
being concentrated to overcome the
effects of the Old World War.
The hopeful outlook for American
ventures was voiced today by Secre-
tary Redfield in letter to the cham
Der of commerce of the United States.
RedfieId's Letter
The letter in part follows:
"A manufacturer whose plant was
in Liege or Lille would find no strong
ground for cheer in the condition OF
either of these cities. One cannot but
sympathize with the misfortunes that
have befallen industries in all the
belligerent countries and be. therefore
so much more grateful that no like
fate threatens our own.
Let the worst be said and admitted
that can be said respecting existing
business difficulties in America, our
condition still remains not only rela-
lively bright, but rapidly improving,
and in many respects both prosperous
and promising There is always roorn
in country as large as ours for the
pessimist to find some hook on which
he can hang his mournful prophecies.
But no observer of the large move
ments in our commerce today fails 20
recognize the great Improvement that
has been in business Conditions in
the last few weeks and which is still
progressing. The payment of our for
eign Obligations is no longer cause for
serious worry, since an import excess
of twenty millions in August has been
changed to an export excess of ap-
proximately sixty millions in Octo-
Der.
THE deficit in our bank reserves IL
New York which was as low as 4S
million dollars in August, rose to n
surplus reserve early this month Of
nearly eighteen millions. The course
of exchange has become more normal.
Clearing house certificates are being
retired. Large sums of emergency
notes have been withdrawn, and with
the opening of the federal reserve sys-
tenn great additional supplies of loan
able funds have become available.
There is no longer serious concern
over our financial future.
"One cannot look back calmly now
to the first weeks of August when
there was wheat embargo. which
some feared might mean sad loss To
