BACK HURTS TAKE SALTS TO
 FLUSH KIDNEYS
Backache is sure sign you have been eating too
 much meat.
acid in meat clogs Kidneys and ir1.itates the ..t.,., bladder.

Dst folks forget that the kidneys,
 the bowels, get sluggish and
 ged and need a flushing occasion
 else we have backache and dull
 Fry in the kidney region, severe
 Haches, rheumatic twinges, torpid
 !, acid stomach, sleeplessness and
 sorts of bladder disorders.
 ou simply must keep your kidneys I've and clean, and the moment you an ache or pain in the kidney Ion, get about four ounces of lad Es from any good drug store here, |e tablespoonful is glass of water |ore breakfast for a few days and lr. kidneys will then act fine. This hous salts is made from the acid |grapes and lemon juice, combined h lithia and is harmless to flush gged kidneys and stimulate them normal activity. It also neutralizes , acids in the urine so it no longer ltates, thus ending bladder disor- s.
 lad Salts is harmless; inexpensive; kes delightful effervescent lithia- ter drink, which everybody should .e now and then to keep their kid Js clean, thus avoiding serious com cations
 A well-known local druggist says sells lots of lad Salts to folks who Iieve in overcoming kidney trouble tile it is only trouble.

DRINK A GLASS
 OF REAL HOT WATER
 BEFORE BREAKFAST.
. Says we will both look and feel clean, sweet and fresh
 and avoid illness.

Sanitary science mas Of late made rapid strides with results that are of untold blessing to humanity. The lat est application of it's untiring research is the recomm endation that 1t is as necessary to attend to internal sanlta- tion of the drainage system of the hu- man body as it is to the drains of the house.
 Those of us who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when we arise, splitting headache, stuffy from cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom- ach. can, instead, feel as fresh as daisy by opening the sluices of the system each morning and flushing out the whole of the internal poisonous stagnant matter.
 Everyone, whether ailing, sick or we'll, should, each morning before breakfast, drink a glass of real hot water with teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stom- ach, liver and bowels the previous days indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. The action Of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach is WOnderfully 1n- vigorating. It cleans out all the sour fern entations, gases, waste and acid ity. and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast. While you are enjoying your breakfast the rhosphated hot water is quietly extracting large VOL ume of water from the blood and get ting ready for a thorough flushing of all the inside organs.
 The millions of people who are both cred with constipation, bilious spells, stomach trouble, rheumatic stiffness others who have sallow skins, blood disorders and sickly complexions are urged to get quarter pound of lime stone phosphate from the drug store. This will cost very little, but is suffi- cient to make anyone pronounced crank on the subject of internal san- itation.

"TAISEZ VOUS" NOW
 CLASSIC EXPRESSION
Made So By Posters in France Cau- tiOning People Against Revealing
 Military Information.

Correspondence of the Asso. Press.)
 Paris, Dec. 24.-The French expres- sion ''Taisez-vous,' which is nearly equivalent to Shut your mouth," though less impolite and familiar has now become classic through the pos ters distributed throughout France by Monsieur Millerand, former minister of war, just before he retired from that post, to caution people against revealing military information.
 The poster reads:
 "TaiSez-vouS! Mefiez-vous! Les oreilles ennemis vous ecoutent."
 In English it means:
 Shut up, or keep silent! Be mis- trustful! Enemy's ears are listening to you.''
 Hundreds of thousands of these pos ters have been hung in public places, and the warning they carry has given rise to any number of curious inci- dents. They have served to increase the suspicion of espionage that is l everywhere rife and both civilians and soldiers are led into unnecessary alarm by the presence of German looking persons in public places. If man talks freely he is often 1 suspected of seeking to draw informa- l tion from other people and if he is dumb he is thought to be listening spy. Such was the case of a loyal Frenchman who happens to be blond and corpulent. There were four wo- men in the compartment of a railroad l carriage with him. He lay back in 1 the corner with eyes closed, though l not asleep. ! He's too blond-to be a French man," one woman whispered. "Too stout" suggested another. "A coun- 1 terfeit Swiss or Dutchman,'" third
 believed. And why is he so silent D added another. He pretends to be sleeping, but he is only listening Denounced the military commits 1 sary at the next station the blond ] gentleman showed his safe-conduct as a member of the French Chamber of l Deputies.

BANQUET IN HONOR
 OF SWEDISH HOSTS
Ford Peace Party Entertain in Stock holm Hotel-MayOr Calls Mem
 bers of Expedition Vikings.

Stockholm, Dec 29.-The members, of the Ford peace expedition last night gave a banquet in the ball room of a local hotel in honor of their Swed- ish hosts. Many prominent men and women of Stockholm were present. Mayor Carl Lindhagen was among the speakers. During his address the mayor said: You have come like the
 Vikings across the sea. You are Vik-
 ings in spiritual sense. I agree with
 the Americans that it is better to try something than nothing." Gaston Plaintiff thanked the mayor
 in the name of MT. Ford for the re-
 ception given the mission. There were
 several other speakers, including H.
 c. Evans of Des Moines, Ia., and
 Judge Ben Lindsey of Denver Sena-
 tor Helen R. Robinson of Denver
 presided.
 It was stated last night that Wig go Cavling, editor of the Copenhagen Politiken had arranged a reception in Copenhagen for the party on Fri day.
 Mime. Rosika Schwimmer and other 1 members of the Ford peace mission left here Tuesday night for Copen- hagen to make arrangements for the reception of the expedition there A telegram received from Copenhag. en citizens by the party said that 1 Denmark was ready to give the Ford l delegates the warmest of welcomes | The message stated that Denmark l looks with favor upon every sincere 1 effort to end the war.
 1 The members of the party said that
 as they advance toward The Hague ] there is every indication that the pro- 1 ject is taken more seriously.

supposing he gave a little money to the cause, the Queen Mother would give him a cup of coffee with her own hand. Queen Alexandra readily con- sented. So the farmer from Kent had his coffee and then, coming inside the counter, he wrote a check for $25.
 Soon after he took his train for Kent and the next heard from him was in the form of a. check for. $250, being money which he had raised in subscriptions among his neighbors. A fortnight later he appeared in per- son with $125 more and declared that he was not going to rest until he had brought his total contribution up to 1000.

 and, when possible, wounded.
 Automobiles Rebuilt.
 Automobiles which nave come to grief on the terrible roads of the Ar gonnes have been rebuilt, and have been equipped with 37 or 3S.5 guage wheels of steel in order that they may serve as 'cars de luxe" for officers who have to travel from one point to an- other behind the front. The sight of officers lolling back in dismantled ma- chimes lowed by diminutive Iocomo- tlVes invariably provokes, first mer- r1ment, and then admiration for the system that has literally made some- thing out of nothing and has found a way to overcome the difficulties of the almost impossible Argonnes roads.
 These difficulties have been enor- nous. Rainy weather has been the rule rather than the exception in the Argonnes for months, and it has been a gigantic task to keep the roads rutted by supply trains and ammuni- ton columns and artilIery-from de- generating into mere bogs. The task of maintaining regular and worka ble communications with the extreme front has been unbelievably hard.

Every effort should be made to pre-
vent the attacks by giving the child a
light supper and plenty of fresh air
at all times. The child should be
warmly clad when out of doors. Es-
pecially the feet should be we'll pro-

should the child be allowed to remain
with wet or cold feet. Then watch
for the first symptom, hoarseness, and

WHAT IS A TAX

What is a tax? Here is a little
essay on taxation by Justice Charles
E. Hughes of the United States su-
preme court. He delivered it recent
ly from the bench in a small case
from Missouri-Houck VS.. Little
River Drainage district. 1t appears
to open the way for the enactment Of
more drastic state taxation laws by
states that have hitherto been held
constitutional.
"A tax is an enforced contribution
for the payment of public expenses.
It is laid by some rule of apportion-
ment according to which the persons
burden, and whether taxation op-
crates upon all within the state, or
upon those of a given class or local
ity, it's essential nature is the same.
The power of segregation for taxing
purposes has everyday illustration
in the experiences of local communi-
ties, the members of which, by rea-
son of their membership, or the own
ers of property within the bounds Of
their political subdivision, are COM
PEELED to bear the burdens of both the
successes and of the failures of local
administration. When local i'm
provement may be deemed to result
in special benefits, a further classi-
fcation may be made and special
assessments imposed accordingly, but
even in such cases there is no re-
quirement of the Federal constitu-
tion that for every payment there
must be an equal benefit. The state
in it's discretion may lay such assess
ments in proportion to position,
frontage, area, market value or to
benefits estimated by commissioners.
And as we have said, unless the ex-
action is fragrant abuse, and by
reason of it's arbitrary character is
