GLASS OF SALTS If
YOUR KIDNEYS HURT
Eat Less Meat if You Feel Backachy
or Have Bladder Trou-

Meat forms uric acid, which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their efforts
to filter it from the system Regular
caters of meat must flush the kidneys
occasionally. You must relieve them
like you relieve your bowels; removing
all the acids, waste and poison, else you
feel dull misery in the kidney region,
sharp pains in the back or sick headache
dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue is
coated, and when the weather is bad you
have rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment; the channels
often get irritated, oblging 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 Jad Salts from any
pharmacy; take tablespoonful in 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 Ithia, and
has been used for generations to clean
and stimulate sluggish kidneys and stop
bladder irritation. Jad Salts is inexpen-
sive; harmless, and makes delightful,
effervescent lithia-water drink. which
millions of men and women take now
and then, thus avoiding serious kidney
and bladder diseases.-Adv.

FORD WON'T BUY
CROWNS FOR THE
WOMEN DELEGATES
Manager Plaintiff Puts His Foot Down
on Some of the Ex-
penses.

Copenhagen, Jan. 5.--Henry Ford viii
not pay for new gowns for certain OF
the women peace delegates who desired
to make brilliant showing at next
weeks conference at The Hague.
CASTOR Plaintiff, New York manager
for Ford and now in charge OF the enter
prise to bring the boys out of the
trenches so informed several women
who put the question to him yesterday.
They must wear the gowns they brought
along on the Oscar III. or stay in their
hotels.
Plaintiff also put his foot down on am
other suggestion: Several delegates
wanted to stay in Europe for a while
longer and asked if Mr.. Ford would pay
their way home any time they decided to
go. Plaintiff declared that delegates who
failed to sail with the main party on the
finer Rotterdam on Jan. IL would pay
their own fares.
1t was learned that Nine. Schwimmer,
peace advocate, was instru-
mental in obtaining permission for the
party to cross Germany, en- route to The
Hague. The newspapers agree that this
fact has wrecked the last possibility that
the allies might look with favor on the
peace expedition.
Stockholm is generally favored as the
seat for the permanent peace tribunal
Mr.. Ford plans to establish. 1t is under
stood that Miss Jane Adams will be
one of the members.

LADIES! LOOK YOUNG,

Gray hair, however handsome, denotes
advancing age. We all know the adyan-

hair is your charm. II makes or mars

looks dry, wispy and scraggly, just a

phur enhances its appearance a hundred

Don't stay grayl Look young! Either
prepare the tonic at home or get from
any drug store a 50-cent bottle of wy

Thousands of folks recommend this
ready-to.use preparation, because it
darkens the hair beautifully and removes
iandruff, stops scalp itching and falling
hair; besides, no one can possibly tell, as
it darkens SO naturally and evenly. You
moisten sponge or soft brush with ii,
drawing this through the hair, taking
one small strand at time. BY morn

other application or two, its natural coll

glossy and lustrous, and you appear

DRINK A GLASS
OF REAL HOT WATER
BEFORE BREAKFAST.
Says we will both look and feel
clean, sweet and fresh
and avoid illness.

Sanitary science has of late made rap
Id strides with results that are of untold
blessing TO humanity. The latest appli'
cation of its untiring research is the rec
ommendation that It is as necessary To
attend TO internal sanitation of the drain
age system of the human body as it is
to the drains of the house.
Those of us who are accustomed TO
feel dull and heavy when we arise, split
ting headache, stuify from a cold, foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach, can,
instead, feel as fresh as daisy by open
ing the sluices of the system each morn
ing and flushing ont the whole of the
internal, poisonous stagnant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or well,
should, each morning before breakfast,
drink a glass of real hot water with a
teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in il,
TO wash from the stomach, liver and bow
els the previous days indigestible waste,
sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying the
entire alimentary canal, before putting
more food into the stomach. The action
of hot water and limestone phosphate on
an empty stomach is wonderfully invig-
Grating. 1t cleans out all the sour fer
gases, waste and acidity and
gives one a splendid appetite for break
fast. While you are enjoying your break
fast, the phosphated hot water is quietly
extracting a large volume of water from
the blood and getting ready for thor
ough flushing of all the inside organs.
The millions of people who are both
cred with constipation, bilious spells,
stomach trouble, rheumatic stiffness
others who have sallow skins, blood dis
orders and sickly compilations are urged
10 get quarter pound of limestone phos-
ohate from the drug store. This will cost
very little, but is sufficient to make any
me a pronounced crank on the subject of
internal sanitation.-Adv.

BEST cow IN THE WORLD.
Fanciers of Various Breeds Hold Differ
ing Opinions.

Eve have had several letters lately
from people who~ask us to name the
cow that has the best worlds record on
the production of fat" says the Rural
New Yorker. "Some years ago it was
easy to answer such a question, but the
worlds champions are now appearing
upon the scene so frequently that one
has to be careful about statements. We
have correspondent with the authorities
who represent the three leading breeds
ton is here given.
"The American Jersey cattle club
states that the largest butter fat yield
of the Jersey breed is Sophie 10th of
Hood farm. This COW produced 1901
pounds of fat in one year. The largest
milk record of the Jersey breed is that
of Eminent's Bess, this COW having pro-
duced lS,7s2.9 pounds of milk in one
year. The Jersey cattle people believe
that this record will soon be surpassed
by another COW. 1t appears that Sophie
10th is more than five years old, and
in producing the amount of fat named
above. she gave 1857 pounds II ounces
of milk in one year. Another very fine
COW. Spermfield Owls Eva l93934, gave
1857 pounds six ounces of milk, which
contained 900 pounds four ounces of
butter fat.
"The American Guernsey Cattle club
states that the highest authenticated
milk yield for a Guernsey is 24,00S
pounds of butter fat. This was made
by Murine Cowan 1887, she being eight
wears and nine months old when the
test was completed. The second best
COW among the Guernseyy appeared TO be

Men Enlisted in the

London, Jan. 5.--Premier Asquith yes
terday afternoon confirmed the reports
that Sir John Simon, secretary of state
for home affairs, has resigned from the
cabinet.
The announcement was made in the
House of Commons following yesterdays
session of the cabinet on the conscrip-
ton question. 1t had been rumored for
several days that Sir John had quit the
cabinet because of his opposition to
compulsory military service.

other ministers would resign because the
conscription policy has been adopted,
every member except Simon attended
yesterdays cabinet session. The session
lasted two hours and a half.
Sir John Simon is a Liberal in politics
and had served in a previous cabinet as
attorney general. He took the portfolio
of home secretary when the coalition
cabinet was formed several months ago

yesterday that only SO per cent of single
men of military age in Great Britain
