Indigestion and constipation are two

N|CARAGUAN TREATY
RATIFIED BY SENATE
FIVE DEMOCRATS OPPOSE AND IS
REPUBLICANS VOTE FOR
RATIFICATION.
OPTION ON CANAL ROUTE
Also Naval Base in Gulf Of Fonseca
and Pays Nicarauga Government
$4,000 900.

Washington.-The senate by vote

and persistently opposed Nicaraguan
treaty, whereby the United States
would acquire 99-year option on the
Nicaraguan Canal route and naval
base in the Gulf of Fonseca for 3d.

Included in the ratification resolu-
ton was a provision declaring that
the United States in obtaining the
naval base does not intend to vlo-
late any existing rights in the Fon-
SEGA Gulf Of Costa Rico, Honduras
and Salvador, which had protested
against the proposed requirement.
Five Democratic senators voted
against the treaty. They were Cham
berlain, MARITIME, Clarke of Arkansas,
Thomas and Vardaman. Fifteen Re-
publican senators joined the admins
tration forces in support of the treaty
Immediately after the senate had
acted, Senator Chammorro, the Mic
araguau Minister, said he would at
once communicate with his govern
ment and that he expected ratif1ca-
ton of the convention by his gov
eminent would soon follow and ex-
changes made to put the treaty IL
force.
Senator Clarke of Arkansas led the
Democratic opposition to the treaty,
while the Republican opposition was
headed by Senator Borah and Smith
Of Michigan.
During the long debate declarations
were made in the senate that Ger
many had offered Nicaragua more than
had the United States for the canal
route option, and this is said to have
been used as an argument for ratifica-
ton.
Senator Stone. chairman of the
Foreign Relations Committee, will
call up the Haitien financial portec-
torate treaty next this to be followed
by the amended Colombian treaty.
Regarding the Colombian treaty there
is grave doubt whether it can receive

TAKE A GLASS OF SALTS
WHEN BLADDER B0THERS
Harmless to- Flush Kidneys and Neu'
tralize Irritating Acids-Splendid
for the System.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder,
where it often remains to irritate and
inflame, causing burning, scalding
sensation, or setting up an irritation
at the neck of the bladder, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night. The sufferer is in
constant dread, the water passes
sometimes with a scalding sensation
and is very profuse; again. there is
difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
it, because they can't control urina-
ton. While it is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this is
really one Of the most simple ailments
to overcome. Get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and
take a tablespoonful in glass Of
water before breakfast, continue this
for two or three days. This will neu-
tralize the acids in the urine so 1t no
longer is a source of irritation to the
bladder and urinary organs which then
act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid Of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and is used by thousands of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caused
by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is
splendid for kidneys and causes no
bad effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, efferves-
cent 1ithia-water drink, which quickly
relieves bladder trouble.--Adv.
