Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clean. by flushing them
with a 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 lne. 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 IL no
longer is a source of irritation, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in

should take now and then To keep
their kidneys clean and active. Try

AN APPEAL FOR BELGIUM.
Dutch Professors and Literary Men
Address Neutral Powers.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
THE HAGUE, Netherlands, June 15.-
The complete restoration of the inde-
pendence of Belgium is the object of a
call to the neutrals of the American
republics. the three Scandinavian
states. Switzerland and Spain, which
has been issued over the signatures of
120 university professors, artists, writ
ers and other well known men of Hol-
land.
1t is stated that the government
and parliament of the German empire,
alone of all the belligerents, have
officially declared that they will en-
deavor at the conclusion of peace to
put an end to the independence of a
neighbor state. Various utterances of
the imperial chancellor are quoted as
bearing this out, and are interpreted
as meaning that neither in a. military
nor economic respect, nor even in the
arrangement of such questions as the
relationship between the two languages
of the country, is Belgium to be mis-
tress in her own house.

A law that may even go SO far as to
entangle Christmas presents in it's oc-
topean grasp is the view taken of the

istration's revenue measure by severa,
members of the House today. Among
these was Representative Elston OF
California, who In a speech on the floor
of the House contended that certain
features of the proposed federal inner.

Suggestion for Inspection.

For the purpose of inspection and
abatement of insanitary conditions it
has been suggested that the following
District government forces be mobi-
liZed:
Inspection forces of every department
of the government. and especially those
of the health. street clearing and police
departments.
Reports on all insanitary conditions,
it is suggested, should pass through one
centrol Office. so that reinspections may
be carefully followed up.
John G. McGrath, president of the
Park View Citizens Association. today
said that, although citizens associa-
tions have adjourned for the summer,
they could render service of inestima-
BILE value by holding special meetings
and appointing committees to search
out the insanitary conditions in their
respective neighborhoods. The Park
View organization. he said, would be
willing to cooperate on a big scale
with the other associations, IL the
Commissioners deem it advisable to
call for the support of these agencies.

defending the Dubno-kovel line, the
Russians delivered a surprise attack
considerably to the north, along the
Sarny Kovel line, which apparently
has been ignored by the Austro-Ger-
mans. The result of this attack has
been clear fifteen-mile advance. which
has driven the defenders well back
upon the Stokhod line of fortifcations.
Not only have the Russian expelled
the Germans from every fortified posi-
tion between the Styr and Stokhod, but

up measures. DIR. Fowler, it is announced

ence of health officials to be held in New
York Thursday. when the infantile paral-
ysis situation will be canvassed from

Although the Commissioners plans
still are in an embryonic state, indica-
tions are that Washington is about to
receive the most thorough cleaning up
in it's history. The District heads are
considering not only pressing into serv-
ice every available governmental
agency to the end that the citytmay be
made as sanitary as possible, but they
also probably will call upon citizens
associations and other civic bodies to
join in the work.
