No man or woman who eats meat regu-
iarly can make a mistake by flushing
the kidneys occasionally, says a we'll
known authority. Meat forms uric acid
which clogs the kidney pores so they
sluggishly filter OK strain only part of
the waste and poisons from the blood,

bladder disorders come from sluggish kid

The moment you feel dull ache in the
kidneys or your back hurts, or if the
urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sedi
menk, irregular of passage or attended
by a sensation of scalding, get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any reliable
pharmacy and take tablespoonful in
q 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, com.

tralize the acids in urine 80 it no longer
causes irritation, thus ending bladder dis
orders.

vescent Whitewater drink which all reg

then to keep the kidneys clean and the
blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kid

Thinks It win Be GIynn

T am one of those voters classified as Independent said Anton L. Cris- lieb of Buffalo.
 T have voted the republican ticket often and have several times voted the democratic ticket. I expect to be back in Buffalo In time to cast by ballot next Tuesday, and it is my intention now to vote for Glynn for governor and for Gerard for United States senator. I am no politician and do not know person. ally either Glynn, democrat, or his op- ponent, Whitman, republican,, but think that Glynn, who is filling the ex- ecutive office, is the abler man of the two, looked at from an administrative point of view. Governor Glynn has cer- tainly proved his fitness. If Whitman were elected governor he might rise to the occasion and then again he might not. Both men are noted for their good personal character. They are men of in- tegrity.
 When I left New York week or 10 days ago the governors race was quite lively. The betting then seemed to be in favor of Whitman, but I think it is now a good even bet that Glynn will be elected by a safe majority"

A MODERN PLANT

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
 The letter: 'I am a young man of A with fair job and good prospects. My glass tells me I am rather good-looking, too. and that's where the trouble starts. am mot a ladies man and can't help feeling diffident in the presence of young women. And yet they are always both ering me. They invite me to go to their homes, and their cooking gives me dys- pepsia. They ask me to the theatre to see bad plays. And they invite me to take them to church to hear bad ser mons. They feed me on fudge and choco- late creams and they give me sissy novels to read and then ask my opinion of them. I have no immediate relative with whom I can confer. and can't so to our, bank president, because his daughter is the worst of the lot. If I wasn't 50 dif- fldent I'd soon put stop to the annoy ance, but being diffident yield to what know is cowardly fashion. How can I escape from this nuisance?

If the Belgians Migrate

With the densest population Tn Eu- rope when the war began, Belgium was peculiarly sensitive to an inva- sion. There were 589 people to the scuare mile. When the Germans marched into the country there were no vacant places where battles could be fought without harm to noncombat- ants. The result was that the Belgians had to get out or run the risk of be- ing killed. They fled, as all the world knows, leaving their valiant army to fight to the last ditch against the in vaders. Many thousands have found q temporary refuge in England and Hol- land, but it is hardly probable that they will stay there. They couldn't very we'll do that if they wished to, be- cause both England and Holland are ''tight little countries" and are filled up with their own people.
 It is predicted that many of the Bel gians will come to this country, if they find it impossible to return to their own land under conditions ap- proximating those obtaining before the war. If they do join the throng of em- igrants to the United States they will
 
 be cordially welcomed. Some states, notably California and Minnesota, are already offering them home. Such people would be valuable contribu- tion to our melting pot" They are thrifty, industrious and ,law-abiding. In fact, they seem to have practically all the virtues and none of the faults of citizens. There was time when the worst thing that could be said about the Belgians was that they wouldn't fight. The world has since been forced to revise it's opinion of them and the Belgian soldier is now immortal. Aaas -s--ts- e
 
 There is plenty of room in this coun- try for the good Belgians if they want to come and they will find that the menace of war will no longer disturb their peaceful pursuits. There will be more room for Belgians at home after this war is over, as there will be many vacant places that will never be filled again by their former occupants, but no man knows now what will be the ultimate fate of Belgium, unless the allies win a decisive victory, and America may be the only refuge left to them in large numbers. Our most thickly populated state is Rhode Island with population of 508 to the square mile, and Pennsylvania has but I'll.

Lord Kitchener, who is today the strong est man in England. was born s4 years ago in County Kerry. Ireland, the place of his birth being Bally Longford When but 21 years old he received a second lieutenant's commission in the Royal En- gineers He served in Palestine. Cyprus and Egypt. He was steadily promoted and in 1896 he became famous as a soldier by utterly destroying the power of the Mhadi in Egypt. For this service he was created a baron and received the thanks of Parliament, together with a grant of Sl50,000. He was again conspicuous in the latter part of the Boer war and was made a viscount. He was also given s25o,oOO by Parliament After reorganizing the army of British and native troops in India Kitchener went to Australia and New Zealand, where he performed similar work. He was governor general of Egypt and was on the point of returning there to take up his duties when the present war in Europe began. There was an in- sistent call throughout England for him to take charge of Great Britain's military affairs and he has since worked ceascless- ly to raise armies and equip them for service at the front. Kitchener is noted for his taclturnity and his disregard of public opinion, as well as his stern de- votion to duty

cnnNA,s POSITION AND THE WAR

T1Oin lIt WdenlllSt tOu Osl.
 ''The position of China as a result of the European war is perhaps more deli cate than is that of any other neutral nation,'' remarked Judge Thomas flag gerty of California, who recently re- turned from the Orient, at the Raleigh. By indicating a war zone within the area of which she would not hold herself responsible for the acts of belligerents, China followed precedent. The Chinese government took the only course open to it. China could no more oppose the land ing of Japanese troops or the fighting between German and other belligerent ships within her waters than she could oust Germany from Tsingtau, which, tech bically, is still Chinese territory.
 Germany and Austria protested against the infringement of strict neutrality oc- casioned by the landing of Japanese troops at Lunkow, and 1t is understood have gone farther and threatened to exact in- identification from China for all losses sustained to German interests. Natur- ally this has perturbed the government but China can do nothing more than she has done. The nations concerned know this, and whatever may be- said during the war, 1t is tolerably certain that d dis passionate view of China position when the war is oyer will acquit China of any acts suggestive of partiality.
 "So long as China pursues the course outlined. there is no occasion for anx' iety. as I see it. If the new government were stronger; had 1t been in power lone enough to make it firm, China might nave played different part She might have been a strong factor in the war, but fl the circumstances Yuan Shi Kai hat shown qualities of rare statesmanship and diplomacy"

ALONG THE MARINE

Peter MacQueen, F. R. G. S., in Leslie,s Weekly.
 Some of the wounded lay on the battle field (of the Marne) five days without food or water in all the fever of their wounds. It should be known, however, that though the instruments of war are more destructive now than ever. the means of mitigating pain were never so triumphant. The American ambulance corps had 30 motor cars on the field two hours after the battle closed.
 We came to vareddes. It lies tucked away in the green valley of the Marne. Here shells from the 77-millimeter guns of the German artillery had completely spoiled all the furniture in some houses and all the goods in some of the shops. As I entered one of those demolished homes poor old Frenchwoman appeared emong the ruins. She was wringing her hands and the tears were running down her faded cheeks.
 "Ah monsieur" she cried, pointing to mahogany chiffonier, 1t Is all lost toutes perdues-and to think 1t was in our family so long"
 A small store had been smashed by a
  shell. looked inside. A young girl with the dark eyes and olive cheeks of the girls of Erie was winding ribbons out from the dirt and debris. She, too. was weeping in the old plain way so com pion to queens and peasants. Seeing . sympathetic face. she turned to me. and waving her hand in the direction of her ruined store: "All desolation-all my sav- i.gs gone. Oh, Mon Dieu, 4t is heart breaking.'
 Multiply these things 10000 times and add to their horror and ferocity, and you will get some faint conception of what this upspeakable tragedy of Europe is. In the Philippines saw women stol- idly watching their homes destroyed with out a tear. But this is Europe. and these people have hundred times more to lose and are a thousand times more sensitive than the semi-savages of Luxon.

Approaching Thansgiying Day


 Thursday, November 26, is to be a day of thanksgiving.
 President Wilson in issuing his Thanksgiving proclamation writes eloquently and touches upon the Euro pean war as well as the earth's bounties. Like all the Presidents of- ficial utterances it is a state paper that says something worth while and says it with fine power of expression.
 While all good people deplore the bloody conflict now in progress and view with regret the serious depres- sion in the cotton market, we have as . nation much to be thankful for more than sometimes happens in years of plenty. Owing to the wisdom and firmness of Mir. Wilson's administration this coun- try kept out of war with Mexico. And it required unflinching courage and exceptional poise to withstand the pressure brought to bear for in- tervention which would have meant a long and costly war.
 Certainly, when we look at Europe and think what we have escaped on this side of the Atlantic, we have every reason to be profoundly thank

GERMANY BUYING COTTON

FIUnu tH6 f1ttBUuIB DISpdtCI.
 T. was reported yesterday that repre- sentatives of the German government and of banking interests acting indirectly for it had been large buyers of cotton in our market. and that shipments amounting to several hundred thousand dollars would leave from southern port today.
 The report followed the announcement from Washington that the British govern ment would not regard cotton as con traband of war. Bankers who are said to have charge of the transaction declined to discuss the report. It was said, how ever. that the shipment would be sent. as several othe, shipments said to have baen arranged for during the last few days. will be sent by vessels clearing for 1talian ports.

 The question has been whether she could get into more hospitable and less ice-locked winter quarters than French mans bay without venturing outside the three-mile limit, to be promptly bounced on by British cruisers: whether, once uh- der way, she might not attempt . dash for port not in the United States; and whether, even if she fell outside the three mile limit. she would, in view of her peculiar status, be lawful prey to hostile cruisers.

 put to use in the approaching winter campaign in Europe. Among the articles wanted, it is said, are army blankets, olive drab shirts and sweaters and im- mense quantities of heavy army over coats in the olive drab color.
 So huge are the armies now in active service, it is said, that none of the gov ernments of the allies has enough winter clothing and other equipment to go around.
 Uncle Sam Is prodiga1 in the equipment of his fighting men. Huge quantities or the finest blankets, clothing and equip ment are manufactured annually. only to be discarded, much of 1t before 1t Is used, in favor of equipment that Is bet ter suited to the purpose. Dealers buy in this 'condemned" equipment. and in most large cities are one or more firms selling the war material at retail. These dealers. it is said, are being cleaned out by the buyers for the allied nations. It is reported that at least 500,000 olive drab army blankets have already been bought in this country by French and English agents. Overcoats are now want ed badly, it is said, as the nights are becoming cold, and the soldiers cannot be kept waiting until the goods can be manufactured and made up into coats.
