HEAVY MEAT EATERS
 HAVE SLOW KIDNEYS
Eat less meat if you feel Baekaehy or have bladder troubIe-Take
 glass of Salts.

No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make mistake by flush ing the kidneys occasionally, says a 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 rheuma- tism, headaches, liver trouble, nervous ness, dizziness sleeplessness and urinary disorders come from sluggish kidneys. /
 The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or att tended by sensation of scalding. stop eating meat and get about four ounces of lad Salts from any pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in 8 glass of water be- fore breakfast and in @ few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, conbined with lithia, and has been used for generations to fnsh and stimulate the Kidneys. also to I1eutralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus end ing bladder weakness.
 lad Salts Is inexpensive and cannot injure: makes 9 delightful effervescent 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.

CHICAGO WOMAN PLEASED
 TO DEFEND CRAFT CHARGE.
Mrs. Rowe Said She Had Been Dis turbed by Murmurings of Crooked ness.

Chicago, Feb. 22.-Hearings of the charge that Mrs. Page Waller Eaton. superintendent of the city bureau of social surveys. was compelled to pay one third of her $3,OOO a year salary to Mrs. Louise Osborne Rowe, superin- tendent of the department of welfare, was today set for Friday before a council committee.
 The charges were made by William R. Rodriguez, a socialist alderman, at meeting of the council yesterday. The alderman asserted that Mrs. Eaton had paid more than $500 to Mrs. Rowe and that the money was for the bene- fit of a needy relative of Mayor Thompson's."
 Mrs. Eaton has resigned her position, it was announced today. Mrs. Rowe characterized the charges as absurd and a similar statement was made by Mayor Thompson. In the mayoralty campaign which resulted in Mayor Thompson's election Mrs. Eaton was an active champion of MT. Thompson.
 T am tickled to death for the .op- portunity to meet these charges" said Mrs. Rowe. "I have been disturbed for six months by murmurings of all legged graft in my office, but couldn't defend myself because it would have betrayed the confidence of my friends.
 Mrs. Eaton Is one of my dearest friends, one of the sweetest women I know"
 Mrs. Eaton described in detail the alleged payments.
 'T told Mrs. Rowe I would give her $40 from one-half months pay and $43 from the next, making a total of $S3 a month, or one-third of $250. I went to the bank. got the $40 and gave 1t to her.
 Through December, January, Feb- ruary, March and up to election day had been working in the interest Of Thompson day and night, and even paid my own carfare until I was com pletely out of funds and in debt. I was working hard in the bureau of surveys and earning every cent re- ceived"
 Mayor Thompson came to Mrs. Rowe's defense.
 ''She has done more for Chicago in one year than all the people who ever said. "She got the cooperation of the railroads and had signs put in stations announcing that Chicago would attend to the poor and needy better than ever before, but that all persons applying for aid woul dbe required to saw a few sticks of wood.'
 Mayor Thompson said he had start ed an independent investigation of the charges by sending a close personal friend to Mrs. Eaton to get her story.
 Mrs. Eaton alleges that her pay ments from her salary were for the benefit of Mrs. Margaret E. Mivelaz, sister of Mrs. Thompson.
 The mayor said that Mrs. Mivelaz had never received financial assistance from either. himself or his wife.
 It was announced later that the council committee would take up the charges at a special meeting Friday, instead of Thursday, when a sub-com- mittee would be appointed to conduct the investigation.

Prices Fluctuated
Slightly In Dull Market

New York, Aug. 1.-THE New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
Although there was no suggestion to-
day either in the volume of business or
the movement of prices that speculation
was running into big bull affair, many
traders asserted the market merely was
jockeying for position and that with a
definite settlement of the railroad la
bor controversy the preponderance OF
favorable factors would be reflected in
a sustained forward movement.
As result quotations fluctuatod
within narrow limits but in few of the
active issue substantial improve
ment was recorded while in the greater
part of the session prices for the ma
iority of stocks showed a firm under
tone, despite the lack of public buying
and efforts at times by bearish traders
to induce liquidation.
After the first burst of speed both
in the course of quotations and in the
volume of business, quieter tendencies
developed, the trading element appar-
emily being uncertain regarding its own
position and that of the public.
Bonds were not active but invest
ment houses reported u heavier inquiry
for investment issues than recently
noted, especially for the short term va
riety. Money was easy and the known
movement of currency in the week ap-
parently foreshadowed an increase in
bank reserves in today's clearing house

BAND WILL
attend WEDDING
Jitney Dance and Side Issues
Yielded About $12O
Net Coin

The Cherrians are feeling quite pros.
porous this morning. not because wheat
has touched the dollar mark, but from
the fact that the dance given at the
armory last night proved such a howl
ing success, both financially and social
ly.
The lineup for the evening was
about like this: C. S. Hamilton, chair
man of the evenings entertainment,
acted as general manager and general
introducer. As an all around introducer
and getting people acquainted, Mr..
Hamilton filled long felt want and
| Just seemed to fit in on the job.
The ticket selling was handled by
such standby Cherrians as NJ. L. Mey-
ers, Hal D. Patton and August Huckes-
tein and no one was turned down who
had the price.
| The ticket takers who made it their
business to see that a jitney coupon
was surrendered for each dance were
Dave Eyre. George Brown. John Row
land, George Riches, n. D. Elliott, d. I.
Howard, Frank Myers, DR.. Darby, VIM.
Gahlsdorf and John Graber.
| The wheel of fortune in which there
was a prize with every turn of the
wheel was handled by George c. L. Sny-
der and Ray Grant. Mr.. Snyder had a
ball throwing show but as it endanger-
ed the orchestra, had to be abandoned
early in the fray.
Dance Produced s96.50.
Ivan G. Mcdaniel and Ralph Ham
iltcn worked the check room and were
successful in collecting $3.50.
The ice cream cones were handed out
by Hugh Alderdice, Lee Unruh, and DR..
O. A. Olson, while Jde bar was prop
erly attended to by Joe Reinhart, Paul
Siege and Clarence Albin.
The Booth orchestra furnished the
music after the Cherrian band had
played few numbers.
| The receipts were as follows: Wheel
of fortune, $5.O5; check room, $3.50;
ice cream, $40; Joe's bar, $51.40;
dances, $96.50. making the total receipts
amount to $163.55. With an expense of
$45, the evenings entertainment and
dance netted the Cherrians $11S.55.
The plan of providing for spectators
free was also regarded as an excellent
idea. In fact, the whole evenings pro
gram was so satisfactory, that another
tlance to raise funds to pay the Cher
rian band expenses to Marshfield will
be given next Thursday evening. An
entirely different committee will be ap'
pointed by King Bing Deekabach.
