weIl-known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which clogs the kidney pores
so they sluggishly filter or strain only
part OF the waste and poisons from
the blood, then you get sick. Nearly
all rheumatism, headaches, liver trou-
bic, nervousness, constipation, dizzi-
ness, sleeplessness, bladder disorders
come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel q dull ache In
the kidneys or your back hurts, or IL
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full OF
sediment, irregular Of passage or at
about four ounces OF Jad Salts from
any reliable pharmacy and take 3
tablespoonful in a glass Of water BE-

grapes and lemon juice, combined with

tons to flush clogged kidneys and

VANDYKE PROTESTS
U. S. Minister to Holland Says
Germany inteFferes With
His Duties There.
MILITARY CHIEF STOPS MAIL
The American Diplomat Demands An
Apology for Affront-State
Department. Silent

The Hague, Feb. 12-Henry Van
Dyke. the United States minister TO
The Hague and also to the Grand
Duchy of Luxembourg, said today that
he had appealed to the government az
Washington to-protest against German
interference with his duties as minis
ter to Luxembourg.
He said this diplomatic communica-
lions with Luxembourg have been cut
of by the German military commander
at Trier CTreves), who had refused to
permit his letters to pass because they
were sealed, with the seal of the Amer
lean legation.
He Demands An Apology.
Doctor Van Dyke has been trying
for four days through the friendly me
dunn Of the German minister at The
Hague to obtain an explanation from
Berlin of what he considers an in
vasion of his diplomatic privileges,
but no answer has come from the Ger
man capitol.
THAT statement of facts is correct"
said Doctor Van Dyke today. The &C
ton of the German commander at
Trier may have been a mistake of ig-
norance, but it must be explained and
apologized for.
Luxembourg is a very small coUn-
try of one-quarter million inhabitants,
but the peaceful duties with which the
American government has charged me
toward that country are Just as sacred
as if it were hundred times as big
Only Washington Can Rule Him.
1T was the first of the neutral coun-
tries to be invaded and appears to be
threatened with failure of the food
supply.
81 cannot consent to interference
with my duties toward Luxembourg by
any power in the world except that
which conferred them upon me, name
ly, the government at Washington
Doctor Van Dykes appointment as
minister to the Netherlands was look
ed upon as almost ideal when he left
America for his post in 1913. OF
worldwide literary fame, but more gen
orally celebrated as a gentle souled
but deep philosopher, his selection
was deemed as a marked achievement

EXERCISE IN THE OPEN AIR
Very Few Days in Year When Person
Who Is Wrapped Up Cannot Sit
in Sheltered, Sunny Corner.

One great difference between out
door air and indoor air is that the first
circuiates freely and the second is
stagnant Another difference is that
foods of sunshine constantly cleanse
outdoor air OF its impurities, but most
rooms get very little of that useful
commodity. Many persons who visit
the physician with complaints OF poor
digestion and anemia declare that they
are active all day long and that go
ing out for walks is the last thing they
need.
They may be right about the amount
Of exercise they get, but people con-
stantly fall sick in spite Of plenty Of
exercise in the house, and get well
again with little outdoor exercise. A
certain amount Of active work about
the house is good for everyone, but
there ought TO be some daily outdoor
life as well.
It does not follow that that outdoor
life ought to include violent exercise,
or even any exercise at all Why
should the housemother be told that
she cannot keep well unless she
dresses up in walking clothes and
takes a long walk after a fatiguing
morning of physical labor in the
house? Tired people should do their
resting in the open air. There are
very few days in the year when q
person who is warmly wrapped up
cannot sit with comfort in a sheltered,
sunny corner Everyone knows how
babies thrive when they take their
maps outdoors; the principle applies TO
the adult also.
1t is a matter Of scientific record
that people whose daily occupation
obhges them to sit in the open air
such as market women, attendants at
fruit stands and newspaper sellers
are robust people, who do not take
cold easily. Yet it is probable that
few people take less exercise
Let it be understood that this is
not at all an argument against phys
ical exercise That is not only excel
lent, but in most cases necessary. But
you need not forego both air and exer-
else because you cannot conveniently
have both; open-air life without exer-
else is much more heaIthful than in
door life with it.-Youth's Companion.

GERMANS REPORT
VICTORY IN EAST
Claim to Have Forced Russians
TO EVacuate Position Near
Mazurian Lakes.
KAISER WITNESSED BATTLE
Reverse Said to Have Been as Bad as
Defeat in that Region Early in
WarBerIin Celebrates
the Victory.

London, Feb. 13.-A1I eyes now are
turned upon East Prussia, where the
German army, under the observation
If not the command of Emperor Will
liam, has taken the offensive and COM
PEELED the Russians to evacuate their
positions east of the Mazurian Lakes
and retire to their own territory.
The Russians refer to this as a stra-
tegical retirement, but the German
official communication indicates that
the appearance in this district of a
strong new German force was a sur
prise to the Russians and states that
the Germans captured $4,000 prisoners
twenty cannon and thirty machine
guns, in addition to a lot of war ma
teriaI If the German statement is
correct, the Russian reverses appar-
entity are almost as serious as that
which the Muscovite forces suffered
in the same place early in the war.
Before the German official commun-
ication was received in London mill
tary men were inclined to look upon
the Russian retirement as a wise
move, declaring that it would compel
the Germans to fight the battle on
Russian territory away from their
strategical railways.
100000 in New Army.
The army which the Germans flung
SO suddenly into East Prussia is be-
Iieved to have numbered 100000 men
and to have been made up of soldiers
who had been fighting on the Bzura
and western fronts and of units of the
new army which has just completed
training in central Germany.
The Germans have resumed the Of
fensive in Russian Poland on the right
bank of the lower Vistula and have
occupied the town of Sierpec, which
lies short distance to the northwest
of Flock. Thus the chief battle
ground in the east has been trans
ferred from the lines west and south
west of Warsaw to the north.
The battles in the Carpathian noun
tains continue, but the general staff
of neither of the contending forces
gives much information concerning
the fighting.
Berlin Celebrates.
Berlin, Feb. 13-Flags are being dis
played in the street of Berlin in cele-
bration of the report of Field Mar
shall Won Hindenburg's new victory
in East Prussia The news that the
Russians were being driven from the
Mazurian Lakes district came as big
surprise to the people of Berlin, their
attention having been long concen-
trated on the Warsaw front.
