HEAVY MEAT EATERS
Nave: SLOW KIDNEYS
Eat less meat if you feel Daclzaohy CT
have bladder trouble-Take
glass Of Salts.

No man or woman who eats meat reru-
larry can make a mistake by flushing the
kidneys occasionally, says o well-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, sleeplcssness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel q dull ache IN The
Kidneys or your back hurts or if the
urine is cloudy, offensive, full of scdi
ment, irregular of passage or attended BY
a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat
and get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take &
tablespoonful III @ 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 lc:aon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been used
for 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 cannot
injure; makes delightful eGervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications.

TWO AMERICANS AND !
FORTY MEX|CANS DEAD

San Antonio, Tex, April lit was
an 'unprovoked attack" on unarmed
American soldiers, who had entered
Parral merely to purchase supplies,
that precipitated an action between
MeXicans and Americans there
Wednesday, according to an official
report received from General Pershing
His report was the first official
news that has been received of the
incident, which drew from Carranza
the urgent recommendation that the
American troops be withdrawn.
He said that part of the soldiers,
leaving their arms at the camp out
side the town, entered to buy food.
They were fired upon and retreated in
the direction of the camp. The troops
there moved forward to meet the Mex
leans, who were pursuing the retreat
ing troops, and began a sharp fire,
killing forty Mexicans.
He reported the American dead as
two No mention of wounded, either
of the Americans or the Mexicans,
was made.

MuzzIing Contagious Diseases

DiSCdSSS
If every sufferer from grippe, colds,
tuberculosis, measles, mumps, scar
let fever, whooping cough, diphtheria,
and sore throat could be induced to
hold handkerchief over his mouth
when he coughs or sneezes, the num-
Der of cases of these diseases would
at once be reduced tremendously In
coughing and sneezing fine
atomiZed spray is thrown out which
floats out and around the room not
unlike tiny balloons. These droplets,
small as they are, are capable of
carrying sufficient number of
germs to enable an individual whose
resistance els low to contract the
disease especially when in prolonged
contact with victim or in short
contacts with number of victims.
Experiments have been conducted
with harmless germs by which 1t
has been proved that culture plates
(glass dishes containing good soil
for growth of germs) could be in
fected or seeded during coughing
and talking at a distance as great
as II feet, and in draughts as far as
80 feet From this it will be seen
that large congregations of people
are to be avoided by susceptible peo-
pie when contagious diseases are
prevalent
One student on investigating the
manner in which disease germs are
transmitted from one to another,
found that some of the little drop
let's of infected saliva elected dur
ing coughing, sneezing and talking
might float about in the still air of
a room for five hours.
These facts make it easy to com
prehend how necessary it is for peo-
pie to adopt new methods of avoid
ing the giving" and taking of
diseases which attack the throat,
nose and lungs.
The New York Health Department
in recognition of the Importance OF
coughing and sneezing in the con-
veying of disease germs from the
sick to the we'll has launched a
public educational campaign through
newspapers, sign boards, schools and
other educational channels. In Wau-
paca number of teachers are
spreading the new knowledge by a
novel plan introduced there by a
visiting school nurse. The names of
all children who cough or sneeZe in
to the free air are placed upon the
blackboard The fact that Teacher
has been caught, also, has given add
ed Zest to the game.
Consideration of the laws of n.y.
giene, of self preservation and of
common politeness demand that a
handkerchief be held before the face
during coughing Or sneezing.
Ultimately most people will resent
Indifference to these laws as they
now do careless splitting and other
offensive personal habits.

OFFICIALS WITHOUT NEWS
Reports of Villas Death Still Lack
Confirmation.

Washington, April Confirmation
of the death of Fancisco Villa still is
lacking, both at the state and war de-
partments and at the Mexican en-
bassy
The outstanding feature of the mes
sages from the border were reports to
the war department that six Mexicans,
who confessed to having taken part
in the raid on Columbus, N. NJ, had
been captured and sent to Columbus
for trial by the New Mexico state au-
thorities.
Another official report relieved anx-
iety as to the supply problem for the
troops at the front. It said the forces
now were fully supplied, with the ex-
ception of a small shipment of horse
shoes and clothing, which would go
forward at once.

Ell Paso, Tex, April 18.-General
Gavira, Carranza commander at Jua-
rez, announced that the Mexican tele-
graph wires between Juarez and Chi
Pearson and that for that reason he
was unable to learn any further de-
tails of the reported discovery Of the
body Of Villa
At the same time telegram, filed at
Chihuahua City, presumably before the
interruption to the wire service, was
received from Consul Letcher, saying
that nothing was known in the state
capital regarding the finding of the
bandits body.
These two circumstances combined
to reinforce the growing skepticism
here as to the truth of the story that
death has ended the career of the fugi
tive brigand
The old story that the man who is
really dead is Pablo Lopez, the noto-
rious butcher of Santa Ysabel, and
that Villa has deliberately used his
death as the basis of false report
of his own ,decease, was revived.
This story was retold by an Ameri-
can owner of a large ranch in the
Guerrero district, who said he had re-
ceived it from his ranch foreman and
believed it to be true
The confidence of Mexican officials
here and in Juarez that Villa is dead
has not, however, diminished, out
Wardly, at least.

be denied the pleasure of entertaining

TAYLOR. Ray and Braid. until after the
war has been received by Robert Full
lerton of Topeka. a former associate
of Taylor in London.
The possibility of an American tour
by the famous foreign golfers has been
discussed for the last six or eight
months and the interest that has Leen
aroused by the possibility OF such an
event has assured big success for the
tour But patriotism is placed before
personal desires by the Britishers and
they have absolutely refused to con-
si6er crossing the Atlantic at the pres
ent time.
Taylor's Letter.
Taylor's letter to Fullerton is self
explanatory and is given in full, as
follows:
Dear Bob: In reply to yours OF
the 18th. there was a talk in the early
part of thhe year, in fact, 1t was pro-
posed that Braid. Warden, Ray and
should visit America, but after consid-
Grafton we decided that these times
were not quite the time we should ex-
hibit ourselves. We may come after
the war, but that is in the lap of the
gods. At present. not one is think
ing of making the trip.
Hope business is brisk with you
Things are dreadfully slow in the golf
line. over here. We have to lick the
Germans before things are better.
Kindcst regards from George Cam
and myself. Sincerely yours.
/ 80 -. H. TAYLOR"
Old Friends.
Fullerton and Taylor were very in
innate friends before the former came
to the United States, and were assoc
ciated together in a golf way for sew
era1 years at the Royal Wimbledon
club of London. Fullerton says that
Taylor, five times open champion of
the world, twice French champion
and once German champion. is as
great a golfer as has ever come into
prominence. He says that ii is i'm
possible. to mention Vardon without
mentioning Taylor in the same breath.
American golf would derive a
priceless benefit from a tour of these
men," the Topeka sporting goods deaf
err said in discussing the proposed and
now abandoned trip. Aside from the
| interest they would create among the
rank and file of golfers and the pub :
licity they would give the game Amer
ica's foremost players would be
greatly benefited by having a chance
| to study their style OF play"
| Had a tour been made, every effort
| would have been put forth to bring
the Britishers to Topeka for an ex-
| hibition.
