DANIELS ORDERS REPORT
ON LOSS OF U, S. STEAMER

Washington, Feb. 23.-Secretary 10
sephus Daniels Of the navy depart
ment has ordered Commander Walter
r. Gherardi, American naval attache
at Berlin, to investigate and make a
full report on the destruction of the
American steamer Evelyn. So far Of

the sinking of the vessel and its cargo
on the German coast yesterday, but
gave no details.
Secretary Daniels explained that his
purpose in directing an inquiry after
the state department had called upon
the ambassadors at London and Berlin
for a report was to secure technical
information which, perhaps, might moi
be included in the ambassadors re-
plies.
1t is said at the navy department
that from present indications it viii
be difficult for the naval officer e
secure exact information of what &C
tnally destroyed the Evelyn. Unles:
Capt. Smith or some of the member,
OF the crew of the steamship actually
saw the coming tower or periscope O,
a submarine, officials say, 1t would no,
be possible to deny that the Evelyr
vas sunk by a mine.

MEAT CLOGS KIDNEYS
THEN YOUR BACK HURTS
Take a Glass OF Salts 10 Flush KID.
neys II Bladder Bothers You--
Drink lots of Water.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally, says a
well-known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which excites the kidneys,
they become 0verworked from the
strain, get sluggish and fail to filter
the waste and poisons from the blood,
then we get sick. Nearly all rheu-
matism, headaches, liver trouble, ner-
vousness. dizziness, sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts or IL
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full OF
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalding, stop
eating meat and get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take
q tablespoonful in glass OF water
before breakfast and in a few days
your kidneys will act fine. This IA
nous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with uthia, and has been used for
generations to flush and stimulate the
kidneys, also to neutralize the acids
In urine so it no longer causes irrita-
ton, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful efferves-
cent ithia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications.-Adv.
