BRITISH V|CTORS IN
NORTH SEA BATTLE.
TO REPEAT ATTACKS ON ENG
LAND FRUSTRATED.
Armored Cruiser Bluecher Sunk and
Two Battle Cruisers Seriously
Damaged in Running Fight in
the North Sea.

London.-An attempt by German
cruiser squadron to repeat the attack
recently made on Scarborough, the
Hartlepools and other British coast
towns. was frustrated Sunday by the
British patrolling squadron, and in a
running fight in the North sea the
German armored cruiser Bluecher was
sunk and two battle cruisers were Sc
riously damaged. The British ships
suffered only slight injury. SO far as
is known. only 1913 OF the Bluechers
crew of 500 were saved
A battle also occurred between the
light cruisers and destroyers accom-.
panying the bigger ships, but the re.
suit OF this engagement has not yet
reached the admiralty.
The Germans were observed some
time after dawn proceeding in the di.
rection OF the British coast. When
they sighted the superior British feet
they turned and made at full speed
for home waters and it was only after
stern chase that the faster British
ships got within range OF them.
For more than four hours the run.
ming battle lasted, the firing being
plainly heard in North Holland. where
1t was judged the fight took place
north OF the islands OF Ameland and
Schiermonnik-Oog
The Bluecher, which was slower
than the other German cruisers, fell
behind and succumbed to the heavier
guns OF the Lion. which was leading
the British squadron. The other Ger
man ships got within the mine and
submarine area, two OF them in a bad.
ly damaged condition and it was dan.
gerous for the British battle cruisers
TO follow.

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with q
lot OF drugs that excite the kidneys
and lrritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clean, by flushing them
with mild, harmless salts which re-
moves the body's urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal actiy-
ity. The function of the kidneys is to
inter the blood. In "a hours they
strain from it 500 grains of acid and
waste, so we can readily understand
the vital Importance of keeping the
kidneys active.
Drlnk lots of water-you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts:
take tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast each morning
for a few days and your kidneys will
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 and
stimulate clogged kidneys; also to
neutralize the acids in urine so it no
longer is source of irritation, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
]ure; makes delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep
their kidneys clean and active. Try
this, also keep up the water drinking,
and no doubt you will wonder what
became OF your kidney trouble and
