We are a nation OF meat eaters
and our blood is filled with uric acid,
says a well-known authority, who
warns us to be constantly On guard
against kidney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood Of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork; they
get sluggish; the eliminative tissues
clog and thus the waste is retained
IN the blood to poison the entire sys-
tenn.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps OF lead, and you have

IN SEA
FOR SUBMARINE
tCon> Inued from pago -

men were puzzled to explain how the
German submarines remained so long
absent from the German coasts
Though submarine carries only four
| torpedoes-unless the Germans have
found way Of carrying more in their
newest underwater boats-the amount
of torpedoing done in the channel and
the waters around the right little,
tight little island, indicated that the
Germans were not stinting themselves
in the use of submarine missiles.
Also submarines were found so far
away from the German coast and re-
NAMED for such long spaces OF time
In certain deep water districts without
going back to Germany to replenish
their supplies, that the naval men be-
gan to believe that the German unter-
seebootes were being supplied from
the English coast.
But now they believe the Germans
have hauled depots to various points
in the waters around England and
have submerged them in cages. The
picture of German submarine CROP
ing its way through the murkey waters
to sunken cache; Of a diver leaving
the submarine, opening the cage and
transferring the supplies of gasoline,
food and torpedoes to the water
chamber of the submarine, which will
later be closed and pumped dry, is
worthy of a Jules Verne.
But the English naval men are not
romanticists and the theory of the
submarine German supply depots is
not built upon fancy. In fact they
have learned that the sunlen depot
idea had it's origin with hard headed
American naval men and they have
records Of certain experiments, in
America as early as 1895 when divers
successfully transferred to a sub
marine large supplies from sunken
store house.
There is good ground for the belief
that the Germans have succeeded on
the American idea and are using it for
all it is worth.

Ing the carpathian fighting, they con-

That the Austrian positions at Vid-

Berlin military men tonight. Batteries
have been mounted on tho heights

from Lupkow. From these positions a
small handful Of men could success

ARE THESE REALLY
HARD TIMES?
An Encouraging Example Of Conf
dence from Mfshawaka, In
diana, That Sounds Like
Prosperity.

Ask any man nowadays How Is
business?" and his reply is likely to
be, well, everybody says it's bad,
but it seems to be pretty brisk with
us. I know I am busy"
America is full OF examples of in
creasing prosperity. Especially those
firms that cater to the needs of the
farmer are working full or extra
time.
Take the case OF the Mishawaka
Wooden Mfg. Company of Mfsha.
waka, Ind This company manufac-
lures the famous "Ball-Band" Rubber
Footwear, worn by over eight and
one-half million workers.
For many years they have manu-
featured rubber boots, shoes and
arctics Of all descriptions-woo
socks, knit boots, ETC., all marked
with Red Ball trade mark.
They have never made light rub
bers. Now they are about to make
them. From dealers and consumers
all over the country has come the cry.
Give us light rubhers with the little
red ball on them"
SO the "Ball-Rand" line is to include
light rubbers. In order that deliveries
can begin January, 1916, work on an
enormous new plant has begun and
will be pushed with all possible speed.
This means the employment of at
least 1000 more persons when tho
new buildings are completed, or a
total OF 1900 employed for this COM
pany
Hundreds Of new homes will have
to be built to take care Of the new

workers. The building Of these homes
will offer O. further market for labor
and material.
1t rs difficult to imagine the wide
spread influence Of just this one case.
The new buildings and equipment
will cost in excess Of half a million
dollars. Over ten thousand pairs OF
the new light weight rubbers will be
produced daily, these to be marketed
direct by statesmen to over $4,000
dealers.
This great increase in business IN
the face Of competition and supposed.
ly depressed times speaks we'll for
the stability of the Mishawaka WOODEN
Manufacturing company and its cele.
brated products.
1t is typical example Of the cour-
age. faith and ability Of the American
business man.

that the aged Austrian ruler may yet
yield some Of his territory.
The censorship is growing tighter
at Rome. Not only has an absoluts
ban been put on all messages concern,
ing military movements, but excitable
comments Of portion of the Italian
press are being denied the wires. This
very fact convinced diplomatic cir
cues here tonight that important
moves are being made behind the
censorship veil at the italian capital.
Berlin newspapers received here
also bear evidence that the Austro-
Italian situation has reached 4 most
critical stage. Apparently ct tho sug-
gestion Of the government the Ger
man press has refrained almost en-
tirely in the last few days from dis
cussing the situation at Rome.
