GLASS OF SALTS IF
 YOUR KIDNEYS HURT
Eat less meat if you feel Baekaohy or have Bladder trouble
 Salts fine for Kidneys.

Meat forms uric acid which excites and overworl1s the kidneys in their eff forts to filter it from the system Reg ular eaters of meat must flush the kid neys occasionally. You must relieve them like you relieve your bowels; re- moving all the acids, waste and poison, else you feel @. dull misery in the kid ney reSion, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather is bad you nave rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment; the channels often get ir- ritated,, obliging you to get up two or three times during the night.
 To neutralize these irritating acids and flush off the body's urinous waste get about four ounces of lad Salts from any pharmacy; take a table spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine and bladder disorders disappear. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys and stop bladder irritation. lad Salts is inexpensive; harmless and makes a delightful effervescent lithia- water drink which millions of men and women take now and then, thus avoid ing serious kidney and bladder dis eases.

NAVAL VESSELS IN PACIFIC
 ARE WHOLLY INADEQUATE
Admiral WinsIow Says Entire Fleet is Not Equivalent to One Good Bat tIeship.

Washington, Feb. Awhile the house military committee was taking steps today toward getting its bill for increasing the regular army and fed eralizing the national guard before the house within ten days, the naval committee was being informed by Ad- miral Cameron McR. Winslow that the entire Pacific fleet, which he com mands, might be an easy victim for a single good enemy battleship.
 Admiral Winslow made the state ment smilingly. Pressed by Repre- sentative Stephens of California for an exact description of the condition of the ships under his command, he said the force was wholly inadequate, even with all its reserves called out, to meet any probable enemy in the Pacific. What plans the navy depart ment had for meeting an emergency there or in the Atlantic, however, he said, were matters of strategy which he did not care to reveal except in confidential session.
 Representative Stephens agreed that this discussion should be postponed but said he had many questions still to ask regarding the Pacific feet He will pursue the subject tomorrow.
