A GLASS OF SALTS WILL
END KIDNEY -BACKAChE
Says Drugs Excite Kidneys and Rec
ommends Only Salts, Particularly
II Bladder Bothers Yeu.

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a
lot of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clean, by flushing them
with mild, harmless salts which re-
moves the body's urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal activ-
ity. The function of the kidneys is to
filter the blood. In "a hours they
strain from it 500 grains of acid and
waste. so we can readily understand
the vital Importance of keeping the
kidneys active.
Drink lots of water-you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass OF
water before breakfast each morning
for few days and your kidneys will
act fine. 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 clogged kidneys; also to
neutralize the acids In urine so IT no
longer is a source of irritation, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure; makes delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep
their kidneys clean and active. Try
this, also keep up the water drinking,
and no doubt you will wonder what
became of your kidney trouble and
backache.-Ady.

The symptoms of kidney and bladder

lead to dangerous kidney troubles.

The Irish Punishments.

The disposition of England to deal
with discrimination with the Irish in
surgent leaders is further evidenced by
the Communication to life Imprisonment
of the death sentence of Countess
Markievicz, one of the most prominent

have been expected in any case that
Great Britain would cause the execution
of this woman in view of the sentiment
that was aroused in England by the
execution by the Germans in Brussels
of Edith Cavell. Perhaps in order, how
ever. to demonstrate that this commu-
tation was not due to her sex alone. the

worst sort of economy, and viewed in
the long run it makes for extravaganza
and waste. 1t has been repeatedly
shown that the government is losing
money heavily by adhering to the rent
ing policy. Some time or other it will
be absolutely necessary to build gov

to be greater than it is at present, as

partly because the administration does
not want to begin public building pro-

Renewed Action at Verdun.

Germany continues to surprise the
world with her persistence at Verdun.
Just as the grand offensive, begun
twelve weeks ago, seemed to be waning, to
give place to French aggressive move
ment, the Teuton armies made another
furious onset on both sides of the river
Meuse. and by the force of their advance
carried their lines forward farther than
in any other single attack since the first
days of the campaign.
This resumption of the attack Is to
be accepted as an indication that Ger
many intends to persist at Verdun, not
withstanding the tremendous losses al
ready incurred there, and the apparent
improbability of full penetration of
the French lines The city of Verdun
itself has been described as wrecked
completely 1t is of no Importance what
ever in military sense. Long ago the
strategic value of the city ceased as the
defensive works were developed IN front
of it and on both TANKS. The real OBJ
jective is the series of railroad COM
munications back of the French lines.
While there would be a certain moral
satisfaction in the actual German occu-
patton of the site of Verdun, that at
tainment would not be worth any ma
terial sacrifice.
1t is significant that the latest Ger
man activity includes reconnaisances IN
the neighborhood of San Mihiel, that
acute salient thrusting into the French
lines southeast of Verdun. Throughout
the eleven weeks of German activity
at Verdun it has been continually ex-
peeted that this would be the scene of
an advance in the effort to close the
"iron ring" which the crown prince is
endeavoring to draw around the fortress.
But until now there has been no seri-
Gus activity at San Mihiel. The pres
ent reports indicate that the French
have been alert at that point and have
stopped what may be only a feeling
movement in semi force.

New York and the Administration.

Again Ambassador Gerard is being
doomed for the democratic nomination
for Governor of New York Not as vet,
however. with his approval Whether
that will come is question He has
several months in which to consider the
matter.
The suggestion. it is stated. originated
in administration circles. 1t is a sort
of administration problem. In state

for the President. Tammany does not

they must cooperate if the republicans

truce. if possible. if only for temporary
purposes.
The necessity explains the Gerard
boom. As the democratic candidate for
governor Mr.. Gerard would be expected
to bring Tammany and the President to-
getller. He is n Tammany man. and an
appointee of the President.
Tammany. however, is not a party to
the boom. Not yet. The boomers are
men in the administration favor. and
have something in the way of patron
age TO show for it. And they are ex-
pecting more if the President is re-
elected. What will Tammany get?
Tammany is in position to drive a

not carry New York. and without New

The Mall-Avenue Lands.

It must be believed that if the Sen
ate on Saturday had voted by roll call
on the proposition to amend the pend
ing good roads bill by including the
Works amendment to purchase the
Mall Avenue triangle for public build
ing purposes the proposition would have
been approved, for the upper house has
heretofore consistently advocated that
measure of building site provision. On
the viva voce vote, however, il was mega
tiyed, perhaps on the ground that the
measure was not germane to the bill un
der consideration. Heretofore the Mall
Avenue triangle purchase plan has been
incorporated in the sundry civil appro-
priation bill. which carries public build
ing items, and perhaps at the present ses-
sion this will be done again. Mean

The Glen Springs Raid.

Some strangely sinister force appears
to he working in Mexico to bring the
United States to tie point of an utter
exhaustion of patience. Just as an
agreement had been effected between
this government and that of Carranza,
looking to the cooperation of the
troops of the two sides for the elimi-
nation of the bandit elements in the
Mexican border territory, a band of
brigands dashes over the boundary into
a sleeping town, surprises the small
guard of troops and kills three Ameri-
can soldiers and little boy. captures,
it is believed, several other persons,
loots several stores, burns many build
ings and escapes. Reports indicate that
these men cried for both Villa and
Carranza 1t matters but little what
they shouted. The loyalty of Mexican
bandit is shifting, immaterial thing.
He may be on one side or another, ac-
cording as he feels at the moment, or

cried for him.
Of course, there will be another pur-
suit. and more troops will probably be
rounded up at the border for service. 1t
may be necessary to utilize the Texas
rangers or National Guard for border
patrol service. While our regulars are
in Mexico chasing one set of brigands
whom the Mexican government is appar-
emily unable to keep out of range of
the United States, it will not do to let
other bands roam to and fro over the
border, doing murderous mischief wher-
ever they may get a chance. But inter
vention in Mexico's affairs is not indi-
Gated as necessary by this latest outrage,
however intolerable it may be. The
agreement effected at III Paso remains
in force, assuming that it has received
Carranza's approval. which has hereto
fore been taken for granted. The terms
of that agreement have not yet been
published. Perhaps in view of the Glen
Springs affair it would be well for this
government, regardless of whether Car
rama has formally signed it or not. to
disclose the terms.
