 Such is the conclusion of the ref cree board of consulting scientific ex- perts of the department of agriculture as the result of experiments to deter mine the influence of aluminium com pounds on the nutrition and health of man. The report gives the results of three sets of extensive experiments on human subjects conducted independ- ently by members of the board and was in response to questions put to 1t by the department of agriculture. The boards report was unanimous and was signed by Ira Remsen, president of Johns Hopkins university, Chairman: Russell H.

Toe Deliberate a Body,

Senator Gore of Oklahoma, who has introduced bill for the creation of a tariff commission, is quoted as say ing that ''The tariff ought to be han. dled the same as railroad rates-by a body of men who would not be swayed in their decisions by political beliefs" !" It will hardly gain converts for this idea to hold up the interstate com merce commission as a model While not swayed by politics, this body is principally remarkable for it's intense spirit of deliberation There have been cases before it, notably that of the inter-mountain cities, which were dragged out in hearings and rehear ings for from five to ten years before final decision was given. It will generally be admitted that the present method of settling tariff questions is unsatisfactory, but it has the merit of producing results within the lifetime of the ordinary man.

CONDEMNED BY ITS RECORD
Proof of Charge That Republican Party Has Not Had New Idea
 m Thirty Years"

President Wilson's charge that the Republicans have not had new idea in 30 years" carries this period of men tai inactivity back to 1885. Search the records, and it will be found that in that long space of time G. O. P. states manship has mainly consisted in jack ing up the tariff in return for liberal campaign contributions from protected benefciaries. Previous to 1885 the Re publicans had carried the Civil war to a successful finish and had brought about the resumption of specie pay. ments. Progress had also been made in civil service reform Since then. however. they have done nothing to- ward improving the banking laws, which the country had outgrown; to- ward a fair and equitable revision of the tariff, and toward solving the trust problem. It was left to the Democrats to accomplish these three great feats For the last few years the G.gO. P, has been drifting along on forged quo tations from Lincoln, who has now been in his grave nearly half a cen. tury.

AS 10 PROTECTION
Matter Here That Seems to Re.
 quire Explanation.
If the Imposition of High Taxes Hat the Effect of Developing Indus try, How Is 1t With Shoes
 and Gloves?

We beg to call attention, says the St- Louis Republic, to the utter fail ure of protection to develop industry. as illustrated by the contrast between shoes and gloves. Shoes have always been taxed lightly-25 per cent under the Dingley law, 15 per cent under the Payne-Aldrich law, free under the Un- derwood law. Gloves have always been protected" by very high duty, having powerful congressional cham pion in Republican days in the person of Mir. Littauer. The tax ran from Sl.75 to S5.SO dozen under the Ding ley law. from SIPS to $5.75 under the Payne-Aldrich law and remains frorl $l to $4.50 under the Underwood tariff If there is anything in the protection philosophy we should find the shoe in- dustry in the United States weak and overwhelmed with foreign goods and the glove industry strong and able to bid defiance to all competition. As a matter of fact. this country, during the first eight months of the current year imported $5.000,000 worth of gloves, paying the heavy duties, and imported free of duty just s32O.O00 worth of boots and shoes! It exported not enough gloves to receive separate men, t1on in the governmental monthly sum- mary of trade and commerce-but it exported $11 100000 worth of boots and shoes!
 Take woolen manufactures and agri- cultural implements. The latter are free of duty-and we sold nearly $20,- 100000 worth in the world market dur ing the first eight months of the last year!

Business Needs Exercise.

If the business men of America want a return of prosperity, they must wish it, think it, will it, talk it and act as if it were here. It does not follow that there cannot be pros perity unless there are big flotations of new securities. There is already enough capital invested in commercial and manufacturing enterprises to pro- vide work for every idle man and woman in America If the owners and directors of those enterprises will con centrate their attention for awhile solely upon their own affairs.

 one-haf times as great as those of China and three times as great as those of Great Britain; how it com prises one-sixth Of the landed area of the globe and one-tenth of the worlds population, Gilbert H. Grosvenor, di- rettor of the National Geographic so- ciety, has just furnished the nearly 35O,000 members of that organization with striking pen picture of Young Russia-A Land of Unlimited Possi- bilities''
 After giving an impression of the diversity of the origin of it's peoples, who come from the Orient and the Occident, the frigid North and the tropic South; of it's range of climate, which gives the Palm Beach touch to its Crimea and the breath of the North to it's White sea region; of its vast agricultural wealth; of the widely varying aspirations of its peoples, which differ as greatly as those of the Poles and the Mongols, as those of the Confucians and the Jews, as those of the Tatars and the Lapps; and of the vastness of the geographic limits of the empire, ar. Grosvenor says:
 But with all its geographic great ness Russia is about as poor in natural outlets to the world as the smallest of the countries of the earth. Holland could be hidden in the vast reaches of the Russian plain, almost as a needle in haystack, yet Amsterdam does more international business than all the ports of Russia together Not one free outlet to the open sea does Euro pean Russia possess except on the ice bound shores of the Arctic ocean The path from the Black sea to the Medi- terranean leads through the Bcspo- rus and tEe Dardanelles, held by alien hands"
 MT. G2osveEor next shows how there live within the boundaries of the Rus sian empire enough people to dupli- cate the population of Germany, Great Britain and France combined, with enough left over to duplicate half the population of Austria Hungary. Fur thermore, if Russia grows from 1912 to 2000 as she grew from 1872 to 1912, her population then will be upward of six hundred million.
 He then continues: From such a record of size, of bigness in every thing, we should expect Russia to be an old nation, like Great Britain, with perhaps a thousand years of unhin- dered growth behind her. But, as a matter of fact, Russia Is youth among the nations compared with England, stripling whose full stature and breadth Is still a subject of con- lecture and speculation.
 Russia is young because she never has had chance to grow until recent years Her geographical shape or con- dition was such that for centuries her people were constantly being enslaved or despoiled by stronger neighbors"
 After dealing briefly with Russia's r.markable history. especially with

1 the surprising reign of Peter the Great, MT. Grosvenor shows that when Alexander IL freed the fifty million serfs of Russia he released from bond age a population equal to that of the twelve leading states of the United States, and a population more than twelve times as great as was freed by Lincoln's emancipation proclamation not very many months afterward. AL exander bought 35O,000,0O0 acres of land for them, permitting them to buy it from the government on easy terms. He thereby carried into effect the most extensive piece of agrarian legis- lation in history.
 Each village conducts its own inter- nal affairs through town meetings and not through elected or appointed officials. Their lands are held on the common ownership basis, and are ap- portioned out for cultivation from time to time
 With the bulk of it's crops raised by the peasantry, and for the most part employing most primitive means of farming, Russia is still able to pro- duce a very large proportion of the worlds food supply. In 1913 it gave to civilization nearly fourth of it's wheat, full fourth of its oats, third of it's barley and more than half its rye. That year its wheat crop was 200,000,000 bushels greater than our own, its oat crop equaled ours, it's bar ley crop was three times as great as ours, and it's rye crop twenty-five times as large as ours.
 Russia has more horses than any other nation on earth, with 35,000,0 ,000, as compared with our 24,O00.000; more sheep than any other nation, with SO.- 900, as compared with our 50,000,- COG; nearly as many cattle, with 51.- 00O, ,OOO, as compared with our 59,- 100000
 "The latest authoritative informa- tion on Russian educational condi- tions, that for 1908, shows that only 211 out of every thousand people in the empire could read and write, and there were two illiterate women for every illiterate man. With our hun dred million population, in 1912 we had an enrolment of 19,21S.000 school children. With her population of 172,- GOO, ,000, Russia's total enrolment was 7,97O,O00, and 23 of these were boys for every ten who were girls.
 And yet the first woman civil engi- neer in the world was Russian, and the educated woman of Russia enjoys freedom equal to that of her kind in any other country in the world. They are even allowed to become pro- fessors in mems universities, and after twenty years of service are retired on pensions, which continue during the lives of their husbands, if they are married and are survived by the heads of their houses.
 "The czar of Russia is a well-paid ruler He receives the revenue from the Russian crown lands, and their area is equal to that of one-third of the United States. Several years ago the imperial treasurer is reported to have advised the czar: Your majesty need have no fear of ever coming to feel the sting of poverty. Financially you are solvency itself. With one hand you could buy out the American multi millionaires, Morgan and Rockefeller. and still have enough left to talk busi-

QUIT MEAT IF KIDNEYS
 BOTHER AND USE SALTS
fast If Your Back Is Hurting or Bladder Is Irrftated.

If you must have your meat every day, eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts occasionally, says a noted author ity who tells us that meat forms uric acid which almost paralyzes the kid neys in their efforts to expel it from the blood. They become sluggish and weaken, then you suffer with a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue Is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the channels often get sore and irritated, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night.
 To neutralize these irritating acids, to cleanse the kidneys and flush of the body's urinous waste get four ounces of lad Salts from any phar- macy here; take tablespoonful in glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acids of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine, so 1t no longer irritates, thus ending bladder weakness.
 lad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in- 1ure, and makes a delightful efferves- cent Whitewater drink.-Adv.
