WHEN KIDNEYS ACT BAD

No man or woman who eats meat

uric acid which clogs the kidney pores

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 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 a sensation of scalding, get
about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any reliable pharmacy and take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water be.
fore breakfast for 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
tions 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 delightful efferves-
cent lithia-water drink which all reg
ular meat eaters should take now and
then to keep the kidneys clean and
the blood pure, thereby avoiding se-

:" Says a glass Of hot water and
phosphate prevents illness
and keeps us fit.

Just as coal, when it burns, leaves
behind certain amount of incom-

so the food and drink taken day after
day leaves in the alimentary canal a
certain amount Of indigestible mate
rial, which if not completely eliminat-
ed from the system each day. becomes
food for the millions Of bacteria which
infeSt the bowels. From this mass of
leftover waste, toxins and ptomaine-
like poisons are formed and sucked
into the blood.
Men and women who can't get feel
ing right must begin to take inside
baths. Before eating breakfast each
morning drink a glass of real hot wa
ter with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash out of the
thirty feet of bowels the previous days
accumulation of poisons and toxins
and to keep the entire alimentary
canal clean, pure and fresh.
Those who are subject to sick head
ache, colds, biliousness, constipation,
others who wake up with bad taste,
foul breath, backache, rheumatic stiff
ness, or have a sour, gassy stomach
after meals, are urged to get a quarter
pound Of limestone phosphate from
any druggist or storekeeper, and be-
gin practicing internal sanitation.
This will cost very little, but is suffi-
cient to make anyone an enthusiast
on the subject.
Remember inside bathing is more
important than outside bathing, be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb
Impurities into the blood, causing poor
health, while the bowel pores do.
Just as soap and hot water cleanses,
sweetens and freshens the skin, so
hot water and limestone phosphate
act on the stomach, liver kidneys and

Washington.-Sec Lindley M.
Garrison resigned Thursday because
President Wilson would not "irrevoc-
ably" support the Continental army
plan and because he opposes the ad-
ministration's program of setting a
definite time fo- Philippine inde-
pendence.
President Wilson accepted the res
ignation and has not selected sue
cessor. The President himself prob
ably will take personal charge of the
administration national defense
plans in Congress.
Assistant Secretary Breckenridge
also resigned as mark of loyalty to
his chief whose views he shared. The
President accepted his resignation.
Both take effect Immediately Major
General Hugh L. Scott, chief of staff
of the army, automatically becomes
secretary of war ad interim.
The resignation came as distinct
surprise not only to Washington gen
orally, but to members of the Cabinet.
One Cabinet officer said that while he
knew there was a difference Of opin-
ion between the President and Mr..
Garrison over handling the army
plans, he had not the slightest suspi-
cion that an actual break was impend-
ing Although Mr. Garrison first sug-
gested that he leave the Cabinet last
month, Mr. Wilson did not formally
accept his resignation until late
Thursday afternoon, when informed
that Mr. Garrison had left for New
York and that a rumor of his resigna--
ton were current. The President then
dictated the letter of acceptance and
dispatched it Immediately.
1t was not until o'clock Thursday
night that formal announcement of the
| Garrison and Breckenridge resigna
tions was at the White House.
1t is known that one of Secretary
| Gar1ison's principal reasons for his
| conviction that only federal conti
mental army, instead of 9 re organized
national guard, could be the main mil
itary dependence of the nation, was
| his belief that some day the United
States may be called upon 20 defend
the Monroe doctrine, and in that
event he foresaw the national guard
might not be available for use outside
of the United States before a declara-
tion OF war;
| Upon the contention on the one
hand that the continental army or ulti
mately universal service was the ma.
TONS only reliance, the position, on
the other, that no one plan could be
enforced upon Congress, President
Wilson and his secretary of war part
ed official company.
Mr. Garrisons resignation was a
complete surprise to official Washing
ton generally. He made no personal
explanation.
Several hours before the official an
nOuncement he had boarded a train
with his wife for New York, and word
had been passed at the department
that he had gone for an indefinite
stay.
The acute differences of opinion
which led to the break began early in
the year when opposition to the con
tinental army plan began developing
in Congress.

ident, which was made public tonight
