Pathetic Scene in London Among Rel
atives of Passengers.

London, May 8.-Between 45 and
so relatives of passengers on the Lusi-
tania maintained a nightlong vigil in
the London office of the Cunard COM
pany.
The continued absence of definite
information is leading to pathetic
scenes.
The rush of inuuirers recommended
at an early hour and grew constantly
as the morning passed, but news was
very slow in arriving The lists of
survivors when they came were short
and incomplete.

President. Wilson and his advis-
ers are waiting for all the facts
and for a crystallization of pub
lie opinion to aid in laying out
the course the United States will
pursue in this latest internation-
al complication-the gravest the
president has faced since the
outbreak of the European war.
No where in administration
circles is there any disposition to
minimize the situation, but Mr..
Wilson, while seeking the facts
hopes the country will assume
an examining attitude and re-
serve full judgment until COM
plete information is at hand.
AS more details began COM

The latest available informa-
tion indicates that about two
thirds of the persons aboard the
Lusitania lost their lives.
The number of passengers is
given by the Cunard Steamship
Representatives in New York at
1854 and of the crew as 665, a
total of 1919. The number of
survivors now accounted for is
7O3. This indicates a death list
of 1,216.
Hopes that the list of persons
saved may be materially in
creased were dashed by an an
nouncement from the British
admiralty that all b-t one of he
rescue fleet which put out from
Queenstown, had reported and
that there was little prospect of
news of further survivors. New
ertheless, inquiries are being
made all along the coast in the
hope that other rescues may
have been made by small craft
which put in at isolated places.
DEATH TO FIRST CABIN.
Of the 290 first class passen-
gers, it is now believed only 76
were saved. No word has been
received of Alfred Gwynne Van
derbilt, Charles Frohman and
other prominent men abroad.
The story of the Lusitania
came in slowly, owing partly to
the confusion at Queenstown,
where most of the survivors
were landed. No information
was available as to how many of
the Americans on the Lusitania
had gone down. Stories told by
survivors seemed to confirm the
earlier report that the Lusitania
had been struck by two torpe-
does.

SALTS IF BACKACHY OR
KIDNEYS TROUBLE YOU
Eat Less Meat II Your Kidneys Aren't
Acting Right or If Back Hurts or
Bladder Bothers You.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says a well-known
authority. 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 stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, channels oft
en- 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 pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a 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, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralizO
acids in the urine so it no longer irri-
tates, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes delightful, effer-
vescent lithia-water drink.-Adv.
