IF KIDNEYS And
BLADDER BOTHER
Take a Glass of Salts to Flush Out
Your Kidneys and Neutralize
Irritating Acids.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says a noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass 1t on to the bladder,
where it often remains to irritate and
infiame. causing a burning, scaldiug SEN
sation, 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 scald-
ing sensation and is very profuse; again,
there is difficulty in avoiding 1t.
Bladder weakness. most folks call It,
because they can't control urination.
While it is extremely annoying and
one of the most simple ailments to
overcome. Get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from your pharmacist and
take a tablespoonful In a glass of wa
ter before breakfast. continue this for
two or three days. This will neutralize
the acids In the urine so it 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 is
used by thousands of folks who are sub
ject 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, effervescent
Whitewater drink, which quickly relieves
bladder trouble.-Adv.

The burlesque is the coming form OF

the opinion of Don. NJ. Clark, playing
leading role with the Star and Garter

Mr.. Clark. who has been in burlesque.
musical comedy, and vaudeville for some
fourteen years, is thoroughly conversant
with the evolution of the burlesque
form of entertainment which has taken
place within the last decade. and in an
interview yesterday described some of
the reasons and effects of this change
"Burlesque originated in what was
known as the Western box houses" said
Mr.. Clark, where the women who per-
formed on the bill sold liquid refresh

The body of the theater was filled with
tables and the audience smoked and
drank as they were entertained.
In those days there We're two swings
or circuits-the Western swing controlled
by one set of men. and the Eastern
swing controlled by another. Unlike con-
ditions today, the audiences were COM
posed mostly of men. and the theatrical
companies had to play to tastes.
Competition was spirited and the
companies were constantly endeayoring to
put over something that would keep their
houses filled. The result of this was
that II a house controlled by the West

what warm the opposition put one on
that was a bit warmer. The effect of
this sort of competition did not elevate
the character of burlesque.
FINALLY, however the Eastern mag
mates got control of the entire burlesque
circuit and then began to clean UP. This
was about ten years ago. or less, and
since that time they have been putting
up a great fight to make burlesque shows
absolutely clean and amusing.
THE Columbia Amusement Company,
which controls the Star and Garter
Show, is so strict that it will not even
take any steps to protect it's actors If
they get in bad with the law as a re-
suit of their remarks or actions, and
they supply US with about 500 'donts.'
THE fight has been wonderfully sue
cessfully, though, and in practically
every large city the shows are attended
by hundreds of women and Children
concluded Mr. Clark.
Lots of people don't understand what
burlesque really is
This is the way Miss Margaret Lee
feels about it. While her career in bur
lesque is not of so long duration as Mr..
Clark's, Miss Lee recalls very distinctly
the great difference in burlesque of five
years ago and that of today Miss Lee
has a very charming voice as those who
have been to the Gayety this week can
testify.

LITTLE MOTHER
CLUBS PROPOSED
Organizations Probably Will
Be Formed During Baby
Week Crusade.
Is NEEDED
Miss EstelIe Wheeler. Superintendent
of Diet Kitchen Association.
Endorses Project.

The establishment of little mother"
clubs in the schools of the District was
urged by Miss Estelle Wheeler, superin-
tendent of the Washington Diet Kitchen
Association, yesterday as the best way
OF reducing in the next generation the
high infant death rate which now pre-
walls throughout the United States.
Although the little mother club has
gained Roadway throughout the country,
1t Is practically unknown in Washington.
The purpose is to instruct girls from Il
years up in the care Of babies. To poor
families the club serves a practical pur-
pose by fitting the older girls to care
for their baby sisters. who frequently
are deprived of a mothers care.
Washington has one Little Mother 5
Club. maintained in connection with The
Georgetown station of the Washington
Diet Kitchen Association. The club,
which has fourteen members. all young
schoolgirls will exhibit their work dur
ing the baby week campaign, which be-
gins May s.
Miss Wheeler said clubs would be es-
tablshed at the other four stations If
infant welfare workers in the city could
be prevailed upon to give their time TO
the work of instructing the little
mothers"
Salled Splendid Idea.
When asked IL she thought 1t would
be well to establish such clubs in the
public schools here, Miss Wheeler said
1T would be splendid thing. They
have them in New York and other big
cities, and in one or two OF the schools
here, where social centers have been or
ganized, they have little mother clubs.
but they have no direct connection with
the school system"
In speaking of the effect which these
clubs would have on the health of the
nation, Miss Wheeler said:
Motherhood is a profession. If we
can bring girls to realize that they must
be instructed in order to be good mothers,
just as they must be instructed to be
stenogra piers, lawyers, or any other pro-
fession, we will be doing much to keep
down the infant death rate in future
years"
Miss Wheeler said the principles OF the
little mother" club movement could
easily be carried out in the home by the
grown mothers. In most well-regulated
