STOP EATING MEAT IF
KIDNEYS OR BACK HURT
Take Glass of Salts to Clean Kid.
neys II Bladder Bothers YOU
Meat Forms Uric Acid.

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says a well-known authority.
because the uric acid in meat excites
the kidneys, they become overworked;
get sluggish; clog up and cause all
sorts of distress. particularly backache
and misery in the kidney region; rheu-
matte twinges, severe headaches, acid
stomach, constipation, torpid liver,
sleeplessness, bladder and urinary ir-
ritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take a tablespoonful in a 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 las been used
for generations to flush clogged kid
neys and stimulate them to normal
activity; also to neutralize the acids in
the urine so it no longer irritates, thus
ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then to keep the
kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus
avoiding serious kidney disease.-Adv.

neadsns Sound OF Elrlnu.

A big-gun silencer which the French
are using is so effective that no sound
of firing can be heard over a greater
distance than 100 yards or so. The
silencer is attached TO the muzzle OF
the gun. AS the shell leaves the gun
a small shutter springs up and pre-.
vents the explosive gases escaping in
the usual way when the gun is fired
The result is that the sudden fierce
rush os gas passes out through the two
channels with nothing like the rush
that is caused in the ordinary way. II

Sudden Death
Caused by Disease Of the Kidneys

The close connection between the
heart and the kidneys is well known
nowadays. When kidneys are diseased,
arterial tension is increased and the
neart functions are attacked. When
the kidneys no longer pour forth waste,
uremic poisoning occurs and the per-
son dies, and the cause is often given
as heart disease, or disease Of brain
or lungs.
It is a good insurance against such
a risk to send 10 cents for a large
trial package of "Anuric"-the latest
discovery of DR.. Pierce. When you
suffer from backache. frequent or
scanty urine, rheumatic pains here or
there, or that constant tired, worn-out
feeling. get "Anuric" at the druggist.
It's 81 times more potent than lithia,
dissolves uric acid as hot water does

Guessing at Submarine Losses.

A British seafaring man who passed
through New York the other day gave
some curious particulars about the sink
ing of a German submarine off the coast
of Ireland, remarking incidentally that
for some reason best known to themselves
the Admiralty never make public reports
dealing with the destruction of submarines
by merchant vessels"
The implication that this policy involves
some slight or injustice to the merchant
service is scarcely justified. Only on the
rarest occasions are any particulars pub
lished about the capture or sinking of sub
marines, even when the work is done by
a naval vessel. Presumably the purpose
is to keep the Germans in doubt about the
fate Of lost boats, and when an announce
ment is made by the British Admiralty 1t
is because the German Marine-Amt are
already informed of the matter. Similar
ly, il may be recalled that when the Grief
was sunk, after having escaped from
German port last February, the fact was
not made public; it was three or four
weeks later that bare account of the duel
with the Alcantara was given out, and by
then it was known that the news had
reached Germany.
Last September the First Lord Of the
Admiralty announced that the German
losses had been formidable, but no more
exact information has ever been impaired
officially. The other day a member of
Parliament asked the Admiralty whether
any figures could be given, and the an
swer was that there was nothing TO add to
Mr.. Balfour's vague assurance. Clearly
this does not mean that no submarines
have been accounted for in the last six
months. 1t only means that the Admiral
ty will not or can not give precise in
formation. Some months ago an officer of
our own navy. Rear Admiral Grant. testi-
fed in Washington that, according to
information from abroad, the
Germans had lost over sixty submarines
since the war began. This was a much
higher estimate than had commonly been
made in England, but it is possibly at

er OF the 10Th inst, asks IL the nominal lead
crs Of the Republican party desire TO re-
elect Woodrow Wilson, and observes that the
thing can be done "if only Penrose, Barnes,
Gallngcr and certain number Of equally
eminent gentlemen turn their entire cfort
to that task"
Rejecting on this and on events OF the last
few days, | am led to inquire whether The
Tribune is not in danger OF losing caste with
its readers and reputation for consistency
when it announces that such stalwart "old
guard" partisan, once an "odious boss, as
Lemue Ely Quigg has announced that the
nominating and electing OF Colonel Roosevelt
is tho obvious way of saving the country;
that Mr.. Penrose has been comforting with
Mr.. Perkins. Mr.. Roosevelts most authorita-
tive and strongest financial supporter, and
then, few days later, implies that Penrose
and his reputed associates in political man

A Convert.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Tho writer was talking recently with
member Of the Kansas Legislature, one
e the oldtime stand-patters; man who
bitterly fought Colonel Roosevelt in 1912, and
who only few months ago remarked that
Colonel Roosevelt could not possibly be the
nominee Of the Republican party
In our recent talk he stated that conditions
had materially changed; that he now believed
Colonel Roosevelt to be the logical man, as
the situation required man Of known abili-
ty and stamina. So it goes.
In order to defeat President Wilson IL will
be necessary to put forward candidate
whose record is known, and favorably known,
all over the United States. Such a candidate
should be one who has always maintained
and fought for the principles Of reasonable
preparedness and the projections Of American
citizens and American interests at home and
abroad These are the principles which nre
row the most vital to US as nation.
We arc told by Statesmen" to increase our
exports. our foreign business They even
tell us that the United States must provide
more vessels to take care OF our growing e1-
port business. Yet in the same breath these
same Statesmen" tell US they believe that
Americans should stay off the seas. Such in
consistency.
No American business man feels justified
in reaching out after more export business,
when ne knows that the policy of the Ad-
ministration is to let American interests take
care of themselves No American citizen can
feel safe when his business calls him to a for
egn shore.
At present our foreign policy appears TO
mean that il is foreign to our policies to
protect either our citizens or our business
interests.
How important then TO put in the White
House a man who would protec, Legitimate

A Gloomy View of The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: For nearly a century it has been
both the privilege and the custom OF an IN
dignsnt Englishman abroad to threaten ITO
write to The Times about it," New jour
nalism stars have in late years arisen in the
constellation OF London, but the terror OF
this threat still maintains something Of its
Victorian force
So was it until recently with The Tribune
OF New York. That journal was a staff to
lean upon-frm and true and its strength
has been the trust OF those who leant
upon IL.
But your recent monstrous articles on
English matters. false in their premises,
warped in their logic, and more eyeless than
the benghted denizens OF the Pacific floor,
have shown how diseased is the core Of this
staff. 1t is bruised reed which threatens
TO pierce the hands Of those who relied upon
its soundness.
What white-ants and termites from Teuton
wastes have invaded your heart and eaten
its strength away? Remaineth only your
varnish true? Is The Tribune, our well
trusted Tribune, passing to dust?
