STREET CAR STRIKE COMES TO END AS MAYOR

OOA~
ing ended the street car strike.
Pushed to the wall in an an-night,
shirt-sleeve conference of union Off
cials and car company officials,
Mayor Thompson handed a threat to
Pres. Busby of the Chicago City Rail-
ways Co. that the city would bring
punishment on the car companies un-
less they made concessions and gave
the union better arbitration terms.
The mayor charged Busby with
trying to use the city as a catspaw
and told Busby it wouldn't work. At
o'clock Busby took his hat, said it
was no use trying to get together and
started for the door out of the
mayors Office.
The mayor blocked Busby's path.
He ordered the traction presidents to
go into one room and write the /
names of Is arbitrators, any one of
whom they would accept as arbi-
traitor. He asked the union officials
to do the same.
Mahon and his men came in soon
with Is names. Busby, leading the
traction officials, handed the mayor
a sheet Of paper with only five names
on it. ,a..
The mayor frowned. Pros. Bill
Quinlan of Div 241 said: "He's |
playing the same old game of hide |
and-seek"
Busby turned to the car men,
''Well, why don't you take Mayor |
Thompson for the third man on the
arbitration board if arbitration is
what you want?"
Busby said this with something of |
a sneer as though it was impossible |
because Mayor Thompson has been
reported heavy stockholder in the |
Commonwealth Edison Co., which |
sells power to the traction companies.
"WeT take Mayor Thompson for
the third man." replied the car men.

HEAVY MEAT EATERS
HAVE SLOW KIDNEYS
Eat less meat if you feel Backachy or
have bladder trouhle-Take
glass Of Salts,

No man or woman who eats meat regu-
larly can make q mistake by flushing the
kidneys occasionally, says a we'll known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
excites the kidneys, they become over
worked from the strain, get sluggish and
fail to filter the waste and poisons from
the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in the
kidneys or your back hurts or if the
urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sedi-
ment, irregular of passage or attended by
sensation of scalding, stop eating meat
and get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast and in few days 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
Tor generations to flush and stimulate
the Kidneys, also to neutralize the acids
In urine so it no longer causes irritation
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and canno-
injure; makes delightful effervescen
Whitewater drink which everyon
should take now and then to keep tn
kidneys clean and active and the bloc,
pure. thereby avoiding serious kidne,
