They suggest that it would be a very
timely and Christian act IL Mr.. Ford de-
voted some of his millions to the relief
of theN starving Mexicans. The suffering
for lack of food, clothes and medical
supplies in our sister republic Is un-
doubtedly very great Thousands are
dying from typhus fever and starvation.
Not only is there very little food in the
country, but 1t is slow and costly work
to get it in on account of the lack of
cars. They were mostly destroyed in
FIVE years of revolution.
The first thing Mr.. Ford would have
to do would be to make some arrange
ment with Carranza whereby the stores
sent in would be safeguarded, and then
he would have to supply his own cars
to carry them in. They could use train
load after load of supplies down there
before they got in a normal state again.
Several gentlemen who have recently
come from Mexico tell me that the suf-
fering and destitution there is greater
by far than in Belgium. Belgium has
had nearly a hundred million dollars
worth Of supplies sent in to her within
year and a half. have not heard of a
single cents worth of relief going to
Mexico.

MEAT INJURIOUS
TO THE KIDNEYS
Take a Tablespoonful of Salts if

Meat Forms Uric Acid.

We are a nalion of meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid, says a
well-known authority. who warns us to
be constantly on guard against kidney
trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork; they
get sluggish; the eliminative tissues
clog and thus the waste is retained in
the blood to poison the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps of lead, and you have sting

your pharmacist about four ounces of
Jad Salts; take tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast each

pened to pick out South Bend to open her
season in- expecting to get a boost for
the town.
"Mein Gott," replied the famous ac-
tress, Il hat to open somewheres."
The tangible reason, however, is that
Louisville put up $4,000 to have the con-
gress meet there. As soon as the pro-
moters of the amalgamated society
learned that they got a guarantee from
Detroit citizens OF $4,000 to have the
meeting place of the society transferred
to that city. This fact was wired on to
Mr.. Hilles, with request not to take up
with the Louisville offer.
The general idea Of the amalgamated
association is to set going and keep up
widespread campaign of education
showing the needlessness of war and
practical ways to obyiate 1t and stop #.
In other words, they purpose to grasp
the hand that Is now trying to choke the
dove OF peace.
War is a crime% is the burden of their
song.
There are a great many very able and
brainy men who are of quite that way
Of thinking, so they anticipate arousing
such a great public sentiment and get
ting such monster petition that 1t will
oyerwhelm Congress and shut up the
war shouters. Publicity of all kinds will
be the means to their end.
II is generally agreed by the promoters
that Detroit Is an excellent city to be
the headquarters of the movement. Not
only Is it the place with which Mr.. Ford
is so prominently identified, but 1t is also
prosperous. enterprising. growing and in
the central section of the country.
Another Way to Charity.
Judge Ben Lindsey hopes to induce Mr..
Ford to give s10,00o,0o0 to found a war
babies refuge fund. Several other we'll
known Americans have another philan-
thropy in mind which they think is more
deserving of Mr.. Ford's generosity As
yet, Mr.. Ford has not even been ap-
preached on the subject The idea Is a
new one and was only born a day or so
ago. I was told about 1t in a bankers
office downtown this morning.

WASHINGTON-NEWPORT
NEWS LINE CHARTERED
Construction Of Railway Must Be Com
pleted by Last of 1919. Say
Rights of Way.

Richmond, Jan. 13.-An important step
towards better railroad transportation for
Eastern Virginia and Maryland was taken
today, when formal application was
made to the State Corporation Commits
sion to charter the washington-New-
port News Short Line.
This company. it is officially announced,
Is to be the consolidated company of
the Norfolk, Washington, and New York
Railway, and the Potomac River and
Baltimore Railway. These two COM
panies, both OF which have already been
chartered, are part of the same system,
but as one is to operate in Virginia and
the other in Maryland, the financial in
terests backing the new enterprise deemed
It best to organize a consolidated COM
pany for the two.
The construction work will be pushed
rapidly, not only because of the
recognized needs of the sections through
which it will pass, but also because the
rights of way decided the companies con-
tain a provision that the line must be
completed and in operation by December
81, 1913.

New York, Jan. 1S-The anti-war
movement, which seems to have been
carefully thought out and promises to
be Of imposing proportions, is about to
be inauguratsd. While the scheme was
mapped out In New York. the headquar-
ters Of the movement will probably be In
Detroit
Several well-intentioned peace and anti
war associations have already been
formed, but their plans are a little nebu-
lous and hazy Up to date. No headway
of any consequence has yet been made.
It Is proposed to unite all these associa-
tons in one harmonious and powerful

tatIon and standing, and managed by

Is more earnest in the cause or more

aware Of the ridiculous figure the peace
ship cut Naturally, Mr.. Ford very much
regrets that the expedition was regarded
in the light of joke. He had no desire
or wish to furnish material for the funny
writer's, but he couldn't help himself.
For all that, he is not going to be
laughed out Of court He has as much
pertinacity as he has money, and 1 un-
derstand he intends to spend II with
equal liberality. His heart Is set on stop
ping war, on stopping everything that
encourages war and on stopping prepara-
tions for war.

Now Mr.. Hammond and the heads Of
the other peace associations are perfect
ly willing, 1 am informed on the best
authority, to let Mr.. Ford be at the
head OF the whole thing. That is the
first important step taken in the forma-
ton Of the amalgamated society. AS the
societies are all really striving for the
same end and differing only in method,
1t is thought that there will be little
difficulty found in blending them.
