A Standpatter.

Although Mr.. Penrose Of Pennsyl.
vania feebly denies that he is to be a
candidate for the Republican presl.

Democrats Must Be Firm.

1t is reasonably clear that large
number Of Republicans in the present
congress mean to play politics with
out regard to patriotism. and attack
President Wilson's foreign policy from
every side. 1t will be a sad spectacle
of partisanship. but it need not EN-
barrass the Democrats.
At the first sign of such tactics, the
Democratic leaders should take the Of

SALTS IF BACKACHY OR
KIDNEYS TROUBLE YOU
Eat Less Meat II Your Kidneys AREN'T
Acting Right or II Back Hurts or
Bladder Bothers You.

When you wake up with backachO
and dull misery in the kidney region
1t generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says a well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter 1t from the blood and they be-
come sort Of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine Is
cloudy, full of sediment, channels oft
en- get sore, water scalds and you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful In glass OF
water before breakfast for few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon Juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize
acids in the urino so it no longer irri-
tates, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is a life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes a delightful, effer-
Vescent Whitewater drink.-Adv.

Then, when Pansy had gone, he look

The books seemed to be fairly new.
For this reason, he determinde to put
them in one of the shelves in place Of

But when he looked closer at the
books he was more than amazed. They
were really OF no value to him at all.

Clearly the second hand man had

as they stood in the case were or no

few days, thinking that perhaps the
original owner would return with the
missing volumes, but he waited in vain.
Then, one day, he climbed up to the

by piles of half sewed white garments.
Almost the only whole piece of turni-
