Would Bar Business Houses from
Neighborhood of Embassies.

Though deadly foes in the trenches of
Europe. Britain and .Austria-Hungary
are meeting on common ground here in
protesting the introduction Of trade or
business features in the neighborhood OF
their embassies.
Several months ago building operations
were begun on an apartment which COW

ton Of Connecticut avenue, Eighteenth
and N streets, next door to the Austria
Hungarian and across the street from
the British Embassy. Operations on the
building have progressed as far as the
third floor, the lower floor of the building
being devoted to shops.
Fearing that this would introduce un-
welcome trade in the neighborhood, the
ambassadors have complained. Their at
torneys claim that under an existing Dis
trtct law foreign ambassadors have the
right to restrict the introduction Of OBJ
jectionable trade or business in the neigh

Pending investigation operations on the
building have ceased.

QUIT MEAT when
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take a Glass of Salts Before Break
fast If Your Back Hurts or
Bladder Is Troubling You.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally, says a we'll
known authority. Meat forms uric acid
which excites the kidneys, they become
overworked from the strain, get slug
gish and fail to filter the waste and poi
sons from the blood, then we get sick.
Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver
trouble, nervousness, dizziness, sleep
lessness, and urinary 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 sedi-
ment, irregular of passage or attended
by a sensation Of scalding stop eating
meat and get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast and in few days your kid
neys 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 flush and stim-
ulate the kidneys, also to neutralize the
acids In the urine so 1t no longer causes
irritation, thus ending bladder weak
ness
Jad Salts Is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful efrervescent
lithia-water drink which every one
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications.-Adv

COAL AT SIS A TON
| new YORK'S PROSPECT
Prices in Metropolis. Now Between
So and $l1. Going Up.
Special 10 Ths Washington Herald.


New York. Oct. 2s.-Coal for do
nestle use has reached s1o.f5 ton,
and dealers predicted that before the
end Of the week householders would
be tripping over one another to pay
from s12 to SIS.
The highest price paid for coal in
New York during the strike of 1902
was SIS, and dealers declared that
figures would seem small in compari-
son with what would be exacted OF
consumers before Thanksgiving.
Dealers said they were at their
wits ends to serve old customers,
and were forced to deny a pound OF
fuel to would-be new customers at
any price.
Ofices, hotels and large apartment
houses have not begun to feel the
pinch as householders have, because
most of them have contracts. They
are paying IS a ton for pea coal and
from 1915 to 81 for various sizes
of buckwheat. But dealers said II
would be only a few days before
they would be confronted with great
difnculty II not absolute inability to
hll contracts
The railroad situation is the crux
of the whole matter.

as their best friend. The man on the
beat is doing his best to make that beat
safe"
