ARE YOUR KIDNEYS
 OVERWORKED?
How They Fight Uric Acid

If you eat meat, then you have uric acid in your blood. And uric acid is the chief cause of weak kidneys. The kid- neys do their utmost to free the blood of irritating uric acid, but it is a losing fight for them. They become weak from the overwork. They get sluggish: the elminative tissues clog and thus the work of Altering the blood is performed very poorly and the waste is retained to poison the entire system. ss
 When your kidneys throb with a dull ache, when they feel like Jumps of lead, when you have severe headaches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleeplessness, tired feel ing, constipation and bladder disorders. you can make up your mind that these troubles come from weak, sluggish kid neys.
 You can help the weakened kidneys and put them in good working order again by asking your druggist for about five ounces of Rheumasalts. Take two tea spoonfuls in 3a glass of water before break fast for few mornings and the results will surprise you
 Rheumasalts acts quickly without grip ing or nausea. It is delicious to take, It is a uric acid solvent as well as Q saline iaxative-delightfully effervescent.
 These famous salts are very inexpen- sive. Every one can prof1tably take a little Rheumasal occasionally to keep the kidneys clean, working and efficient.
 Rheumasalts is prepared by the famous Rheumabath on mpany, Minneapolis, Minn. 2Sc. s0c and St no T,~.r~-

HOW ID CURE A
 CHRONIC COUCH
Told in the Following Letter by a Jackson Man Who Knows from Experience. His Word Is Gnnd-

Jackson, Miss.-"I am a carpenter. and the grippe left me not only with a chronic cough, but I was rundown. worn out and weak. I took all kinds of cough syrups but they did me no good. ! finally got so weak I was not able to do day s work, and coughed so much I was alarmed about my condition. One evening l read about Vinol and decided to try 1t. Before had taken quarter of bottle l felt better, and after taking two bottles my cough is entirely cured, all the bad symptoms have disappeared and have gained new vim and energy" " JOHN l.. DENNIS, I'll Lynch Street, Jackson, Miss.
 The reason Vinol is so successful in such cases is because the active medic inal principles of cod liver oil contained in Vinol rebuilds wasting tissues and supplies strength andvigor to the nerves and muscles while the tonic iron and wine assist the red corpuscles of the blood to absorb oxygen and distribute 1t through the system, thus restoring health and strength to the weakened organs of the body.
 If Vinol fails to help you, we return your money.

SALTS IS FINE FOR
 KIDNEYS, QUIT MEAT
Flush the Kidneys at once when Back Hurts or Bladder Bothers-
 Meat Forms Uric Acid.

No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally. says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which clogs the kid ney pores so they sluggishly filter or strain only part of the waste and poisons from the blood, then you get sick. Nearly all rheumatism. head aches. liver trouble, nervousness. constipation, dizziness, sleeplessness bladder disorders come from sluggish kidneys.
 The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts. or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, fuII of sediment, irregular of passage or attended by a sensation of scaldi,r get about four ounces of lad Salts from any reliable pharmacy and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine Tbis famous salts Is made from the acid or grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and has been used for generations to flush clogged Kidneys and stimulate them to activity. also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder disorders.
 lad Salts is inexpensive and can- not injure; makes a delightful effer- vescent lithia-water drink which all regular meat eaters should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and the blood pure. thereby avoiding serious kidney complications

Washington, April 21.--Published reports that William F. McCombs would resign as chairman of the dem ocratic national committee, drew the following statement yesterday from Secretary Humility at the White House.
 The story appearing in the morn ing papers of Mir. McCoobs' resigna- tion and my selection to succeed him as chairman of the national demo- cratic commission is made out of whole cloth and is the gossip of per sons whose design is to make trouble and promote discord within the ranks of the party"

AMERICANS TO STAY

Physical Difficulties of Trip Cause Them to Await Reopening of

Washington, April 21.-Arrange- ments to take Americans and other foreigners from Mexico City by train to Vera Cruz have been abandoned although both Carranza and Villa of ficials showed a disposition to give the necessary train service. State department despatches yesterday from Mexico City said that on account of physical difficulties of the trip be- cause of broken railway lines the Americans had decided to await re- opening of communication to the bor- der and the project had been aban- doned

AMERICAN NEUTRALITY
 DEFINED BY WILSON
]. s. Must Be Appealed to Before
 She Takes Peace Step in War.

New York, April 2t.-President Wilson yesterday gave a definite and clear statement of the neutrality which is guiding his administration during the var in Europe. He chose the occa- sion of the annual luncheon of the Associated Press for what he said he l regarded as a statement of gravest inn | portance to the American people | The influence of the newspaper in moulding public opinion, MT. Wilson l said, prompted him to make clear his ideas Of true neutrality, and in doing so to impress upon his hearers the inn portance of adhering strictly to truth fulness and honesty in the dissemina- tions to the news.
 MT. Wilson seemed to weigh indi- vidually each word he uttered. The importance he attached to his state ment was reflected in a request that no attempt be made to paraphrase his speech or to give it publicity until the official White House stenographer had transcribed it in full
 Distinction Awaits U. S.
 As the only great nation not en- gagged in the war or suffering under the immediate influence or the war zone, MT. Wilson declared that a great distinction awaited the United States when the hour of adjustment should come, provided this nation should prove to the world its self control and self-mastery. The past had been difficult, he pointed out, but the future would be more difficult.
 America, the president said. never would attempt to sit in Judgment upon another nation. No nation was flt to do that, he added. But America, free from hampering ambitions as a world power, free of a lust for terri tory, calm, cool and without self interest, must be appealed to to assist in the reconstruction processes of peace.
 Higher Than Petty Desire.
 The neutrality of the United States, MT. Wilson said. had a higher basis than a petty desire to keep out of trouble.
 There is something so much greater to do than fight he said: Let Us think of America before We think of Europe in order that America may be fit to be Europes friend when the day of tested friendship comes. The test Of friendship is not sympathy with one side or the other, but getting ready to help both sides when the struggle is over."
 Greeted With Cheers.
 The president. greeted with cheers when he appeared at the luncheon, constantly was interruped by ap- plause and expressions of approval.

The Poet of Provence.

From his early romantic success to
his golden maturity Frederic Mistral.
the Provencal poet, had sort of leg
endary 0estiny almost unheard of in
the modern world. When he ca'ae into
the dining room of the little notel In
Aries where he used to lunch after n
visit to his museum even the stin
backed British tourists found them
selves leaping to their feet with the
rest Of the company and cordially re-
turning his fine salute. Travellers who
have had the fortune to catch glimpse
Of him on some fete day at Aries or
Mines or Orange will never forget the
Impression he made. Standing on the
stone bench Of a Roman arena, lifting
his black sombrero as the close packed
crowds rose in great swelling waves
to break into the shout "Mistraly" he
seemed the very symbol and type Of
the legendary youth and Joy and beau
ty of Provence. His natural eminence
was tempered by such natural simple
ity that popular response to 1t was as
spontaneous as 1t was sincere. His
gracious presence defied time, and he
wore old age like a wreath OF myrtle.

INSECT REMEDIES.

The following suggestions from the
Connecticut agricultural experiment
station are not new, but timely:
THE rose chafer may be somewhat
controlled on the grape vines by spray
ing them with five pounds OF arsenate
Of lead to fifty gallons or water, to
which a pound Of glucose or two
quarts Of mOlasses have been added.
squash bugs are very difficult TO
control except by crushing their eggs
on the leaves and placing shingles
around the plant under which they
will hide and can afterward be picked
and thrown into OIL
"Onion maggots are nearly impossi-
BILE to control except by crop rotation.
"Cutworms are almost sure to APP
pear. Poison them with bait made
up Of twenty-five pounds of wheat
bran. one pound Of paris green. two
quarts Of cheap molasses. Scatter
this bait around the plants to he pro-
tected.
Potato beetles and flea beetles can
be best controlled by spraying with

deaux mixture. using arsenate of lead.

and a half pounds of the dry form to

Arguing With an Expert.

Never argue with an expert. 1t Is
useless. There is no way Of making
Roadway against him. Though you
may know much more than he does,
you can't possibly get him to admit It.
His main defense lies in the possession
of his own special vernacular. No ex-
pert is complete without vernacular.
Many experts have nothing more.
In arguing with an expert he always
begins by assuming, first, that you
don't know what you are talking about
and, second, that If you did know
what you were talking about you
couldn't talk about it intelligently, be-
cause you lacked the specific vocabu-
larry that the subject demands. AS the
argument proceeds he spends 80 much
time asking, Just what do you mean
when you use the word -f' and you
spend 50 much time explaining your
terms that you totally forget what you
are arguing about. Obviously when q
man forgets what he is trying to prove
he should Immediately quit trying to
prove it.-Life.

in other places, but most of the whole
cities. The extension of the industry
is limited not SO much by the lack Of
raw material as by the scarcity of the
right class of labor. Up to few
months ago manufacturers used far
more imported than American willows,
because the imported rods are better
assorted and easier to obtain in the
desirable small sizes. The average
American grower seems not to appre-
ciate the value Of small stock. which
Is more difficult to peel and therefore
more expensive to produce. The Amer
lean grown willow is regarded favora-
bly, by furniture makers and could cas-
lily be made to meet all requirements
by greater care in growing and in pre-
pairing the rods for market
Basket willows are not grown COM
mercially in this country over nearly
SO great range as possible. The re-
suits Of the department Of agriculture's
distribution of willow cuttings have
shown that willows can be grown prac-
tically In all parts Of the country. ex-
cept In the arid and semiarid regions.
the high attitudes and portions Of the
south.
The growing of willow, however. re-
quires much labor. which must be OBJ
tanned at low cost and Is rather diff
cult to get Although prices Of will
lows are high at present, primarily be-
cause of the decrease in exports, It is.
Of course, impossible to say how long
these prices will rule Nevertheless
there is an increase in popularity Of
willow furniture. which at present is
another factor in high prices.
To date nearly 100000 willow cut
tings have been distributed free by the
forest service among state experiment
stations. forest schools and individual
growers. The value of willow culture
as profitable means of utilizing over
flow lands not suitable for other crops
has been demonstrated. and the de-
partment of agriculture maintains a
small willow holt on the government
farm at Arlington. Va. for further
tests and for the continued production
Of cuttings for free distribution.

POISON FOR HOPPERS.
Bran Mash, With Paris Green, Has

oranges or lemons is squeezed into the
water and the remaining pulp and the
peel are chopped to fine bits and added
to the water. The strip is put into the
water. and bran and the poison are wet
