positions between the Disc and Reims
with good success.
Hand grenade battles continue
without interruption over the portion
of our trenches to the east of Maison
de Champagne, which the French oc-
cupied February II. Between the
Mouse and the Moselle we destroyed
by five large explosions the advanced
trenches of the enemy over front of
80 to 40 yards.
Lively artillery fighting is proceed
ing in Lorraine and in the Vosges.
South of Russo, east of ST. Die, Ger
man detachment penetrated advanced
portions of the enemy's position and

WHEN KIDNEYS ACT BAD
TAKE GLASS OF SALTS
Eat Less Meat If Kidneys Hurt or You
Have Backache or Bladder Misery
Meat Forms Uric Acid.

No man or woman who eats meat

well-known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which clogs the kidney pores
so they sluggishly filter or strain only
part of the waste and poisons from
the blood, then you get sick. Nearly
all rheumatism, headaches, liver trou-
BILE, nervousness, constipation, dizzi-
ness. sleeplessness, bladder 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 at
tended by sensation of scalding, get
about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any reliable pharmacy and take a
tablespoonful in glass of water be-
fore breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This ia
nous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice. combined with
lithia and has been used for genera
tons to flush clogged kidneys and
stimulate them to activity, also to neu-
tralize the acids in urine so it no
longer causes irritation, thus ending
bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful efferves-
cent Whitewater drink which all reg.
ular meat eaters should take now and
then to keep the kidneys clean and
the blood pure, thereby avoiding Sc
rious kidney complications.-Adv.

GRAVE CHARGES MADE
AGAINST LOUIS BRANDEiS
Clifford Thorne, Chairman Iowa Rail-
road Commission, Makes ACCUSE
tions Before Senate Sub
committee.

Washington, Feb. 11.-Grave charges
against Louis D. Brandeis, nominated
by President Wilson as Supreme court
Justice. were made on Wednesday in
a public hearing before subcommit-
tee. Clifford ThOrne, chairman OF the
Iowa railroad commission, caused a
sensation when he deliberately told
the committee that he believed the
presidents candidate guilty of:
l. Infidelity, breach of faith and
unprofessional conduct in connection
with one of the greatest cases of this
generation.
2. Committing himself as counsel
for the Interstate commerce commits
sion to the proposition that a return
of 71a per cent on railroad capital is
not adequate, although the commits
sion itself had fixed that rate as an
adequate profit.
The charges, delivered in a calm
deliberate tone, took away the breath
of the solemn senate subcommittee
and made the crowd in the committee
room gasp. He reviewed in detail the
conduct Of himself and Mr.. Brandeis
in the railroad-rate case of 1910 and
1913 before the interstate commerce
commission. He sought to show that
Mr.. Brandeis, after acting for the ship
pers in 1910, had become attorney for
the commission in 1913 and had not
acted in good faith. The object of his
testimony was to show that The con-
duct of Brandeis was unbecoming
lawyer of judicial temperament and
that on railroad questions the Supreme
court candidate was already commit
ted and would not be able to act jul
dicially if such questions came be-
fore him as a Judge of the highest
court.

Armored Cars Centuries Ago.

Among the interesting documents
in the old Bohemian city Saaz, on the
Eyer river, is picture showing an
attack on the fortress Glatz, in Silesla
500 years ago, in which war-auto-
mobiles were used! The mechani-
cally-driven cars were fat vehicles,
protected by huge shields in front, in
which the soldiers turned large
cranks, the rotary motion of which
was transferred to cog-wheels and to
the road wheels. These fifteenth CEN
fury "chauffeurs" got a speed of four
miles an hour out of the armored cars

 The program as announced Includes free-for-all discussions relating to prohibition as dominant issue, whether new party must be formed in order to obtain prohibition, wha; name such a party should bear, the possibility of getting action through the various parties now in existence and the relation of prohibition to other reforms.

W"rrcsnondence of the Associated Press, /,
 London, June 13.--A turning point in the history of the liquor traffic in United Kingdom is marked by the de- cision of the government to purchase through the liquor traffic control board, all of the breweries and public houses in the city of Carlisle and it's immediate neighborhood. Some 300 public houses alone are involved. and the negotiations will be completed within a short time. The state will thus become not only publican but brewer.
 It is the intention of the board to close practically at once some 100 drinking houses as unnecessary to the demands of the district. It IS also proposed to build two or three model refreshment houses, on the plan used successfully elsewhere, and to adapt others not now equipped for the sale of food and non-intoxl- catants.
