F bkCKACHY OR
 KIDNEYS BOTHER
Eat less meat also take glass of Salts before eating
 breakfast

Uric acid in meat excites the kidneys. they become overworked; get sluggish, ache. and feel like Jumps of lead. The urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is irri- tated, and you may be obliged to seek re- lief two or three times during the night. When the kidneys clog you must help them flush off the body's urinous waste or you'll be a real sick person shortly. At first you feel dull misery in the kid- ney region, you suffer from backache sick headache, dizziness, stomach gets sour, tongue coated and you feel rheu- mattc twinges when the weather is bad,
 Eat less meat, drink lots of water; also get from any pharmacist four ounces of lad Salts; take tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts Is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity, also to neutral ize the acids in urine, so it no longer is source of irritation. thus ending blad- der weakness.
 Jad Salts Is inexpensive, cannot injure; makes delightful effervescent lithia- water wrink which everyone should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active. Druggists here say they sell lots of lad Salts to folks who believe in overcoming kidney trouble while it is only trouble.

NO VOTES SOON FOR
 WOMEN IN GERMANY

London, January 1o-(Speoal)-The problem of it's biennial congress, which, in the ordinary course fsevents would have taken place in Berlin next year, Is being considered just now by tine Inter- national Alliance of Women's Suffrage. Frau Marie Stritt, the president of the German Union for Women Suffrage. has written withdrawing the invitation to Berlin, and saying that she fears there is little hope for the women's cause in Germany for a long time to come. Suf- fragists in Holland, however. have sug- gested that the congress might be held in their country, which, as a neutral state, could be visited by the delegates of the International alliance from all over Eu- rope. Suffragists regard the holding of the congress as a very important matter, in fact, one English leader says that the womens cause Is infinitely greater than any issue of the present war.

rathskeller for ice water during the sum mer. The ice plant, operated by electric fty. makes the ice for the cafe service and for icing the buffet. The ice is cubed in the pantry. The storage house for food is lined with tin, which renders itfalmost proof against the intrusion of rodents, a detail MT. Houston, the steward, thought out after experiences with the rayages of the annoying destroyers.
 From the kitchen on to the sweeping balcony, overlooking the tennis courts into the rathskeller downstairs. into the cafes and into the ballroom, service pas sages have been arranged with unusual attention to efficiency and loss of motion in serving.
 The rathskeller has been built by exca- vating the space adjoining the old buffet, and by this adroit piece of engineering there has been, secured a space 40 by 70 feet for the rathskeller. Along the side Of that space one enters from the stairs leading from the club room or from the golf lockers, is the buffet, in mahogany, which is easily DO feet long. The floor of the rathskeller is done in Adamtile, from the plant of Maj. w. F. Tebbitts of Mo- bile. It is bordered with red, and in the center wire strips of light designs in tile are arranged. The floor is easily one of the most attractive details of this new work. At the end is huge fire place, which radiates good cheer and comfort when a wood fire is going. The room has a great many windows opening from the mountain side of the club and from the west end. The embankment which is vis- ible from the south windows will be turfed with Bermuda grass and it will be an attractive outlook. The breezes from the mountains will always be available in this room. The place is equipped with tables for service and it Is to have some specially designed easy chairs for loungers later on. This room adjoins the old pil- Hard parlor. which was untouched by the new designs.
 New Space for Golfers
 The most interesting part of the im- provements from many viewpoints is the present available service space for golfers. The cellar has been excavated and la- dies department for golfers arranged. That space is at the west end of the building, just to the left of the entrance, where ladies may get into a reception room and then into their locker rooms with the utmost convenience. The club placed 50 lockers in the ladies' wing of the golfing section and these have all
 been taken except eight, it was stated. There Is beautiful reception room done in rose and grey. while the floor in the locker room Is concrete. with eight needle showers done in marble. There is tel ephone there which connects with the caddy house, so that the ladies may call caddy without any trouble, and that also obviates the necessity of the caddies hanging around the front of the club building
 The interest being displayed sby ladies in golf is said to be very great and the committee in charge of the improvements made no mistake, 1t is asserted, in pro- viding such an attractive service for

 ment has also secured II showers, done in
 marble. with needle equipment. The floor is concrete. This immediately adjoins the south section of the golf lockers. Prac- tically all of the new lockers have been taken by members, it was stated yes terday. There is sufficient space for addi-
 tional lockers in both the ladies and the
 mens golf sections. All this new space
 as well as the rathskeller, has been se- cured by excavations.
 Slight Changes Upstairs
 All the foregoing betterments, added to the usual attractions of the upstairs departments. places this club in an en- viable position to render service to it's members. There has been little work done upstairs except a few details. As an example, stairway has been cut through, leading from the front veranda up to the cloak rooms. This exempts men and women with their wraps and coats on from passing through the reception room. They can go upstairs, discard their wraps and then descend to the reception room from the cloak rooms by this in side stairway. The front veranda has been touched up little, particularly has the space been broadened for the obserya- tion gallery of the golf links. The porte oochers has also been broadened while there is an immense parking space on
 tHc soulH eHu Ol the STOunuS TOT aut0- mobiles, an improvement that was acute ly needed There has been constructed steam heat plant far enough removed from the club so that in case anything
 should happen to it there would be no danger to the club house proper. This plant supplies the hot water for the baths and the heat for the entire building. It Is decidedly efficient. This improvement takes the place of the furnace which llnI1darnaafh ha n, ba T level of the steam heat plant is used as place of rest for caddies and drivers in the winter time. They have been supplied with chairs, lavatories and other conven- i fences. There is one room in this building for the tennis players. and also a place for the manufacture and repair of golf clubs.
 The office of Secretary Diena has been removed from the club floor down to the basement, directly across from the ladies reception room of the golf section and has windows opening from the east The office has an outlook to the west through the billiard room and the rathskeller, Through the entire lower floor there has been made a hall from end to end, east and west. The gofing sections, the biI- Hard room and the rathskeler are all ac- cessible without one's entering the club proper
 The work has been splendidlv done. Miller X Martin, the architects that de- signed the club. also did this work and the officials are very much gratified over the completion. This work does not in- clude the betterments to the golf links and the extension of the links along the Mountain Terrace car line. where other holes are to be provided for. By reason of the thoroughness of the work and the vast improvements made and by reason of the fact that every member has a de- cided interest in the achievement, the officers want every one to attend the house warming next Thursday

The Supremacy of Asauith

TIME storm which has been brewing in
Il England for several months has broken
at last. Prime Minister Asquth has bent his
head before it and is taking pains to prevent
II from destroying the unity Of the British
people. There has been serious discomfort
with the way the Government has managed
the war. particularly in the Admiralty De-
partment and in The Department of Finance.
But the Opposition leaders have been most
patriotically silent in public, though they
have expressed themselves freely in private.
Within a few weeks the Opposition newspa-
-pers have begun to say in the open what
many people have been thinking.
Now comes the resignation of Lord John
Fisher as protest against the policy Of
Winston Churchill. the First Lord of the Ad-
miralty, and no one can ignore the situation
any longer There Is evidently to be re-
built Cabinet and the Conservative leaders,
who have patriotically supported the Gov
ernment, are to be asked to take office and
jworl. with the Government in solving the
great problems of national defense And
Asquth is admitted to be the prime leader
fitted TO guide the nation through this crisis.

Italy Crosses the Rubicon

Italy is likely to prove decisive factor
IN the war. The italian attitude Is not en-
tlrey materlallstlc, for there is soul be-
hind the national aspirations. practically
impossible task confronts the magnificent
German war machine
! TT WOULD be idle to question the impor-
j tance of Italys entrance into the war. The
peninsula has held, as it were, the destines
OF Europe in its hands for months Had
Rome clung to the old alliance and flung her
armies at France, the storm could scarcely
have been weathered by the Allies during
the early period of the struggle. But that
would have exposed the Italian coast to the
/, navies of France and England and would,
perhaps for ever, have ended the dream of
Italy for the recovery of her lost territory.
All of Italys interests lie with the side she
has taken. Opportunity has been knocking
at her door-the opportunity to take her
ancient place among the first Powers of the
globe. 1t is no wonder that the mobs have
clamored for war and been restve under the
interminable delays which wise statesman
ship has counseled.
+, It is inconceivable that a war machine,
even so formidable and perfect as that which
German genius has created, will be able to
stand against the allied troops that now
encircle it, There is no one of the Allies that
is not powerful by itself while Austria is to
GerInany almost a naDlnty instead of an
asset. The Austrian troops seem 10 be help
less except under German direction and the
protection of the long frontier fastens on
Germany herculean task. There are vast
armies against her to the east and to the
west, and now new fury is about to spring
from the south. Turkey is of no help except
in attracting allied troops from Europe, and
may become n tremendous liability in the
event OF the fall of Constantinople 1t is
indeed, one of the miracles of the world that
at this stage of the war there Is scarcely a
hostile trooper on German soil. Never in the
history OF the world has nation, in a purely
military way, given such evidence of thor
ough efficiency and magnificent capacity.
That Italy has looked on this great adven-
ture in a materialistc way is not surprising
yet there is, too, national longing IN her atti-
tude and no lack of soul. She is certain to
hasten the end of this revelry of blood, and
the quicker it does end the better 1t will be
for humanity.
It is our Italy, the land of poetry, the
oppressor of the world for centuries the op-
pressed OF Europe for generations: Italy, in
whose glory all nations share and all human
ity exults, mother Of arts and civilization, in
whose bosom genius has been nurtured, the
holy Of holies Of history. whose soil has red
dened with endless romance and whose fin
gers have touched the strings and brought
therefrom invisible beauties of sound! Who
can be without thrill as once more she arms
herself and marches in solid phaIanxes again
to write history in humanity's great book OF
records?

For my unconquerable soul.

Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody but unbowed.

Looms but the horror of the shade
And yet the menace of the years

How charged with punishment the scroll,

nations have spent in maintaining their
armies and navles for the last thirteen
years while they were getting ready for the
conflict. Great Britain alone spent half

and Russia had to use A4O,000O 900, and the
amount spent by France, Germany and
Austria Hungary brings the total for n sim

rope was staggering under the burden of
preparation. Germany has already borrowed
nearly per cent. of her total wealth., and
the whole group of nations have borrowed
about per cent. of the value of all their
property of all kinds included within their
boundaries
This fearful drain on the resources of the
nations cannot continue without bankrupt
ing the treasures and piling up burdens of
debt which will weigh upon the shoulders of
the people for generations TO come. The
economic argument for peace is as strong
as the economic argument for temperance.

To the Editor Of the EUeHin0 Ledger:
STA crash n cry and all Is silent
Another crash. whether from the same cause
or otherwise is heard, and the giant of the sea
starts to settle toward the fathomess deem.
Hoarse commands are given and boats leave
the side of the doomed liner She lists heavily
and sinks. Many are thrown into the turbulent
sea- Many are the hasty prayers offered and
many imprecations are hurled at the now known
cause or their destruction. Many find their
death and grave in the watery deep
Their now glonfed death shall ever be held
as examples of the quiet and enduring herosms
for which this country is proudly famous
and can so justly boast. And their suffering
and sacrifice shall ever be held as representing
the high ideals of Amerlcanism.
And may the Ruler Of the Universe so guide
the Ship of State that this country may secure
not vengeance, not retribution, but justification
for the noble course she has chosen to steer
For the unfaltering policy of neutrality and
for the grand example of aloofness in refrainng
from participating in struggle so permeated
by worldly lusts and desires.
