American men and women must guard
constantly against kidney trouble, be-
cause we eat too much and all our food
is rich. Our blood is filled with uric
acid which the kidneys strive to filter
out, they weaken from overwork, be-
come sluggish; the eliminative tissues
clog and the result is kidney trouble,
bladder weakness and general decline
in health

N. W May 6.-Following is the text
Of the note Of the German government
In reply to the American note respec-
ting submarine warfare, delivered by
Gottlieb Won Jagow, the foreign secret
ery, to Ambassador Gerard:
"The undersigned, on behalf of the
Imperial German government has the
honor to present to his excellency the
Ambassador of the United States, Mr..
James w. Gerard the following reply
to the note of April 20 regarding the
conduct of the German submarine war.
fare:
Identical With Sussex.
THE German government handed
over to the proper naval authorities
for early investigation the evidence
concerning the Sussex as communicat-
ed by the government of the United
States. Judging by the results that
the investigation has hitherto yielded,
the German government is alive to the
possibility that the ship mentioned
in the note of April 10 as having been
torpedoed by German submarine is
actually identical with the Sussex.
"The German government begs to
reserve further communication on the
matter until certain points are ascer-
tanned, which are of decisive impor-
tance for establishing the facts of the
case.
Should it turn out that the COM
mander was wrong in assuming the
vessel to h7 & man-of-war, the German
government will not fail to draw the
consequence resulting therefrom.
Repudiates U. s. Assertion.
I'm connection with the case of the
Sussex, the government of the United
States made series Of statements, the
gist of which is the assertion that the
incident is to be considered but one
instance OF deliberate method of in.
discriminate destruction of vessels of
all sorts, nationalities and destinations
by German submarine commanders.
"The German government must EN-.
phatically repudiate the assertion. The
German government, however, thinks
1t of little avail to enter into details
in present stage of affairs, more par
ticularly as the government of the
United States omitted to substantiate
the assertion by reference to concrete
facts.
