NONP ARTISAN
IN CHARACTER
Keynote Ct President Wilson'S
Preparedness Talks.
DEFENSE At LEAST EXPENSE

VIII Claim War Has Created New
Conditions, the Effect of Which
Neither the United States Nor Any
Other Nation Can Estimate - He
viii Contend This Is Not the Proper
Time to Try Pacifcation Theories.
Washington, Jan. 25. = President
Wilson will emphasize the nonpartisan
character of his national defense pro-
gram in the speeches he is to deliver
on his stumping tour beginning this
week.
The president will ask support from
PEOPLE of all parties for the measures
he has suggested to congress on the
grounds that these embody provision
for the least expensive army and navy
development that can be regarded as
adequate to the country's needs.
The keynote of the set of speeches
which the president mas evolved out
of the study ne gave the defense prob
lem during his two days isolation on
the yacht Mayfiower is this; That the
war has created new conditions, the
effect of which neither the United
States nor any other nation can accu-
rately estimate. These conditions not
only affect the methods and customs
OF naval warfare, but the fundamental
tights of independent governments as
these have come to be recognized in
the last several decades Not only the
United States, but every other nation,
neutral or hellieerent, must be pre-
pared to meet these new conditions.
The country must be prepared to face
the unexpected, the president will de-
clare. Such period of our history,
he will contend, is not to be regarded
as a proper time for trying out new
theories of pacification, international
unselfishness and disarmament al the
Ieglect of the tested means of assur-
ing nations rights. In facing new
conditions, it is the duty of a nation
ss we'll as of the individual to see that
ones strength is capable of its most
culNltil tASIJlOHs IL 10 JlS uuly "
the United States he will declare, to
provide herself with instrumentalitIes
of national defense commensurate
with her limitless resources and
strength.
Such preparedness, the president
will point out, is necessary not only
for the maintenance of the rights
which the United Staets has in com
mon with all other neutral nations
but especially because Of our new and
necessary commitment to the Monroe
doctrine. 1t is idle. Mr.. Wilson be
lieves, for the United States to pledge
its adherence to the principles OF the
Monroe doctrine, to accept the tire
rendous responsibility involved II
the Monroe doctrine without beini
adequately prepared in both its army
and its navy.
The president will point out for tht
benefit of pacifists that such a polio.
of preparedness does not by an!
means involve the development OF ;
spirit of militarism among the people
OF the country nor policy Of aggres
s;veness on the part of, the govern
ment.

irons a Frank Daniels no. less indi-
vidual in his method, no less laugh
provoking in his antics than the re-
nowned comedian Of a long list Of
comic operas Paul West wrote the
scenario for this excellent Wise Of

respectful grimaces at the warden the

HEAVY MEAT EATERS
HAVE SLOW KIDNEYS
Eat less meat if you feel eackachy
or have bladder troubIe7-Take
GLASS Of Salts. '....


No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally,
says well-knsWn< authority. Meat
forms uric acid which excites the kid
neys, they become overworked from
the strain, get sluggish and fail to fill
ter theIwaste and poisons from the
blood then we get sick. Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness
andturinary disorders come from slug
gisH kidneys. 4
The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular Of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalding,
stop eating meat and get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy; take a tablespoonful in glass
of water before breakfast and in a
few days your kidneys will act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid o. grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
fer generations to flush and stimulate
the Kidneys, also to neutralize the
acids in urine so it no longer causes
irritation, thus ending bladder weak
ness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
iriure: makes delightful efferves-
cen Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the
blood pure, thereby avoiding serious
kidney complications.
