IF KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache is Sign You Have
Been Eating too Much Meat Which
Forms Uric Acid.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region it
generally means you have been eating
too much meat, says a well-knOwn au
thority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they be-
come sort Of paralyzed and loggy. When
your kidneys get sluggish and clog you
must relieve them, like you relieve
your bowels; removing all the body S
urinous waste, else You have backache,
sick headache, dizzy spells; your stom-
ach sours, tongue is coated, and when
the weather is bad you have rheumatic
twinges The urine is cloudy, full of
sediment, channels often get sore, wa
ter scalds and you are obliged to seek
relief two or three times during the
night.
Either consult good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your phar-
macist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take tablespoonful in glass of wa
ter before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
| bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish Kidneys, also to neutralizt
acids in the urine so it no longer irri
ltates, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is a life saver for regular
meat eaters. It is inexpensive, can
not iniure and makes a delightful, eff
lfervescent Whitewater drink.

The State Fair

Birmingham's State Fairs have not only attracted vast crowds of visitors to the city every year, but they have been decidedly educational.
 Last years fair was one of the best. Owing to the depression in the cotton belt there was falling off in gate re- ceipts, but under normal conditions the fairs are financially successful.
 The State Fair association has not made an announcement for the coming autumn, but the public naturally as- sumes that the usual eight or ten-day exhibition will be decided upon in due time. If it is a question of financial underwriting or raising guarantee to meet any possible deficit the business interests that are chiefly benefited pecuniarily can be relied upon, it is believed, to do the necessary financ- ing. Not to have the fair would be a reflection, of course, upon the entire community.
 Business is improving steadily, and with the approach of harvest time the rate of improvement will be greatly accelerated. There is good reason to think that the farmers will be in better condition next fall than ever before They will have greater variety of products to exhibit than in 1914, when the large agricultural and horticultural displays caused people who take an interest in such things to marvel.
 l Of all the annual events that draw people from different sections of the state, the fair is easily in the lead. It has its social as well as its educa- tional side, for it is the place of ren- dezvous for throngs of out-of- town folks who come to exchange greetings with acquaintances widely scattered.
 Fair week is a great week in Bir- mingham, and thousands of men, women and children will look forward to the 1915 event with eager interest.

THE TRADE COMMISSION

From the Washington Evening Star.
 THE federal trade commission is to be
 congratulated on the fact that it did
 A not organize with oratory. It's pur- pose evidently is not to hunt ducks with brass band Business is business, and the commission has to do exclusively with business. Multiplying words is no sign of business Many of our captains of indus try are able to keep silent in half dozen languages and yet keep busy all the time
 Two assuring things appear in the re- last night at the White House between the commission and the President: Q) There is meditated no drive" at busi- ness and @ the commission, for the pres ent at least, has no purpose of resolving itself into a so-called tariff board.
 The first point is the more important Of the two Business has been under the harrow for at least two years, and is a-weary. It has wanted respite. and has counted on such an experience from the adjournment of Congress. It has out where it is "at." The only fear felt has been that this trade commission might start something calculated to renew trouble. But such, it is stated, is not in purpose. Legitimate business is to be assisted, and not harried, and big busi-

ness in particular is not in danger be- cause of it's size.
 The secmond point however, is not with out value. This is no time for gathering statistics looking to a revision of the tariff. Even where it is contended and conceded that the new law has failed to produce the results promised, the fact is recognized that all branches of business, both at home and abroad, are upset. and cannot resume their equilibrium until the war is over, and not immediately then. So that no adequate or satisfactory re- vision of the Underwood law could be based on figures obtainable now as to existing production and consumption. If additional revenues are needed, and the Eeed becomes mora pressing, they must be raised by special and not general means.
 This does not minimize the tariff as an issue for next years campaign. Those who condemn the present law do so on the ground that it is constructed on lires prejudicial to American industrial inter- ests; that it had failed refore the war be- gan, and that the failure would have in- creased in injury to us if no war had oc- cured. Their demand is for a return to confessed protection, baued upon what that policy has done for the country, anG what recent experience has taught is oue to both producer and consumer in the ad- Justment of schedules and the fixing of rates

rick is a man of high character and
 political sagacity.
 The governorship of New York has
 long been regarded as a stepping
 stone to the presidency. That being SO
 Governor Whitman naturally regards
 himself as a logical candidate for the republican nomination. But while he
 made great reputation as prescott ing attorney for the criminal court of the county of New York, he does not rise to the high level of statesman
 ship that the republican party will probably demand when the nomination comes to be made in 1916. Governor Willis of Ohio has his lightning rod up; but as long as MT. Herrick, who is popular with the republicans of the Buckeye state, is in the running the governors name will not be presented. James R. Mann, minority leader in Congress, has a large following, and he will doubtless receive many votes in the convention.
 Senator Borah of Idaho is one of the strongest men in the republican party, and if he were living in pivotal state he would stand good chance of se- curing the republican nomination. As it is he will not be seriously consid- cred. Of the men mentioned, each of them, with the exception of Mann, IS under the age of 60, although Her rick lacks only few months of attain ing the threescore mark. Mann is 61, Justice Hughes is 53, Whitman is AS, Governor Willis is 46, and Sena- tor Borah is 90.
 The republican party was the "standpat" organization in 1912, but when it came to individuals the pro- gressive element far outnumbered the conservatives; hence the bolt and the strong organization that supported Roosevelt. There are, of course, stand patters in the republican party today. But times have changed, and the re- actionary is no longer reckoned with. The republicans, like the democrats, will defend progressivism in the next campaign, but the party that wins must temper it's progressive ten dencies with reason that will appeal at once to the intelligent and the fair minded voters of the country.

The Drama League

Some of the societies formed for "uplift" activities show excellent re- suits. They pursue practical methods and, therefore, justify their existence. Others make a noise but accomplish nothing worth while because their theories are far-fetched and their plans vague.
 The Dramatic League of America, a branch of which is to be established here this week, is one of the organiza- tions which not only has good ob- ject in view, that of arousing interest in wholesome and cultural plays, but one which works along conservative lines.
 It proposes no censorship. Many plays are mediocre from literary viewpoint and there are many which have no appeal for persons of refined taste or ethical discrimination. The league simply lets all such theatrical offerings alone.
 But plays of exceptional merit, plays that are at once artistic and morally elevating or innocently divert ing, are strongly commended and widely advertised.
 There are regular theatregoers and occasional theatregoers. Those of the former class see almost everything which is presented on the stage, while those of the latter class miss great many admirable plays that they would have seen and enjoyed had their at tention been especially called to them
 It will be the business of the league to see that no high class play that comes along fails of liberal support because its merit is not known to those who desire to patronize the best ant only the best.
 It is really great work that tho league has undertaken, and all per sons who appreciate the educationa value of the stage should be glad tc cooperate with it.

The Next Presidential Campaign

During the coming winter the na- tional executive committees of the various parties will meet and arrange for the. conventions to be held next year. As President Wilson will be un- opposed the democratic convention will lack excitement, but the republican convention will be center of lively interest.
 If the regular republicans and the national progressives unite, which they are almost sure to do, the presidential campaign will be strenuous from the start. Col. Theodore Roosevelt, the leader of the progressives, has been keeping very quiet of late; but in fluences are at work that will proba- bly, result in merger before the na- tional republican committee meets.
 Roosevelt would have been nomi- mated by the republican convention in 1912 but for the Taft administra- tion's steam roller. Many men promi- nent in public life friendly to Colonel Roosevelt felt that had the colonel been chosen as the republican standard bearer instead of Mir. Taft the re- publican party would have been vic torious. But leaders are now looking to the future, and will give little thought to the past except so far as practical lessons may be drawn.
 There are many aspirants for the republican nomination. At the present time Associate Justice Hughes of the United States supreme court, and Myron T. Herrick, former ambassador to Paris, are the most discussed of the prospective candidates. Judge Hughes is regarded as an exceptional ly able man. As governor of New York he was absolutely fearless ir dealing with political cliques and his record was clean throughout. MT. Her

GOSSIP IN LONDON

From the London Mirror.
 Here is a minor tragedy of the war; but very real one. Tommy had moi tasted tea for days; he was longing for tea with an intensity which only comes upon one in a French village. He had just enough tea and sugar to make one tinful, but no hot water, and no French with which to ask for it. With wiiu- ges- ticulation he sought to explain to a wom- an his need. She took the tin of tea and sugar and disappeared into her cot. tage. Anon she emerged triumphant, witf the tin full of cold water. and Tommy whole stock of tea floating about in it Then it was that French came to him. He says he spoke 1t like-a trooper.

prosperity in full swing. And when it does come it will probably remain for several years.

Reading folks are always interested in
 what some recognized authority in the lit- erary or educational world regards as
 the best books" pr. Andrew D. White of Ithaca, N. Y, the distinguished dip- lomat and first president of Cornell uni versity, has recently compiled a list of
 the books which have given him the most
 profit and pleasure. Dr. White places
 the Bible first among the books that have
 influenced his life. He recommends cer-
 tain chapters for their literary beauty and stimulating power. After the Psalms and portions of Isaiah he mentions with
 emphasis the sixth chapter of Micah. fe says that in the New Testament the ut
 terance ascribed to Jesus Himself, of
 which the Sermon on the Mount is su- preme with St. James definition of "pure religion and undefled," and St. Pauls description of charity are of transcen- dent beauty. He thinks that in perfection Of English diction there is fin the whole range of literature nothing to surpass the story of Joseph and his brethren. As to classic writers, Dr. Whiee names in Greek the more striking parts of the Iliad and of Thucyddes, and in Latin Caesar, Virgil, and above all, the odes or Horace, the Agricola and Germania of Tacitus and the letters of Cicero. In English he names from Shake speare's writings Hamlet" ~Julius Caesar" 'Macbeth,' Henry "" Henry V" "A Midsummer Nights Dream" and, on lower plane, 'As You Like It." Much Ado About Nothing." Twelfth Night and "rhe Merry Wives of Wind sor.' From Milton he names "Comus" "Allegro,' "Penseroso, Christmas Hymn and above all the "Sonnets." He also recommends certain passages from
 Paradise Lost and from Samson Agonistes." From Alilton's prose he rec ommends Speech for the Liberty of Un- licensed Printing" As to oratorical writ ings, Dr. White says that the three greatest speeches in the English language are: Daniel Websters Reply to Hayne," Burkes plea for ''The Cancellation of America, and Abraham Lincoln's "Ad- dress at Gettysburg
