Washington, Aug. 24.-The admin
istration Is anxiously watching the eff
fects of its emergency arrangements te
prevent disorganization of the cotton
industry from resulting from the con
traband order of the allies, despite
the expected success OF the measures
that have been taken.
II is realized that the matter is tre
mendously important to the business
interests of the country and is also OF
political moment
Cotton growers are manifesting in
creasing resentment against the adj
ministration on account of the OBJ
stacles that the war has placed in the
way of freely marketing the staple.
This feeling OF the planters is frank
ly expressed by the southern senators
and representatives who do not hest
tate to voice criticism against what
is termed the state departments lack
of vigor in handling cotton negotia-
tions with England. 1t is known that
this attitude is the cause OF consider
able worry to the president and his ad
visers.
The treasurer's office has announced
that 1t will supply thirty million dollars
or more to the three southern reserve
banks to enable them to rediscount
loans on cotton secured by warehouse
receipts.
Following a conference with Presi
dent Wilson, Chairman Harding of the
reserve board explained that the ad
vancing of this sum OF money would
make it possible for growers to holt
their product in warehouses until the
price is satisfactory.
While a vigorous objection will bt
made to the contraband order, it viii
not affect previous claims against Eng
land for cotton detained in shipment
on the ground that 1t was intended fo'
Germany. though nominally bound fol
neutral ports.

IF KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backaohe is sign you have bsen
eating too much meat, which
forms uric scid

When you wake up with baczache and
dull misery in the kidney region it gen
orally means you have been eating too
much meat, says well-known authority.
Meat forms uric acid which overworks
the kidneys in their effort to filter it
from the blood and they become sort of
paralyzed and loggy When your kidneys
get sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels; re-
moving all the body's urinous waste,
else you have backache, sick headache,
dizzy spells your stomach 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, water scalds and you are obliged
to seek relief two or three times during
the night.
Either consult a good. reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
q tablespoonful in a glass OF water
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 combined with lithil,
and has been used for generations to
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize acids in the urine so it
no longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
9 Jad Salts is life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive. cannot
