IT is said that the number of women
at work in Great Britain now exceeds
seven million, and that more than half
of these are engaged at tasks which
before the war were performed by
men. Naturally there is speculation
as to the consequences of this indus
trial revolution which will accrue when
hostIities are over and the men OF the
nation return to resume the arts of
peace.

Who are the real patriots when it
comes to fighting for ones country ?
One cannot call the high salaried Off.
cials overly patriotic. for the conpensa-
ton they receive leads one TO believe
that il is an indictment for them to
take up arms. OF course an amy is
useless without officers, but what
could the officers do without the pri-
Yates, they would look about like a
penny in bank. Here are the rates
of pay for National Guardsmeu Briga-

PATRIOTISM is fair sized word and

REPUBLICAN voters of Wisconsin will
soon be called upon to decide who shall
be their candidate for governor. This
will be at the primary. There are
three aspirants in the race. 1t might
seem strange to our readers that the
Tribune has not touched on 1t hereto
fore. If there is a reason it is because
of the factional rule-or-ruin spirit
which has developed Each aspirant
is efficient and good TO certain eX-
tent. But there is too much rancid
stalwartism. too much czarism and too
much cut-throat politics in the mixup.
The best man of the three is he who is
not coated with these defects. His
name is Hatton.

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 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 a few days
and your kidneys win then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid OF grapes and lemon Juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has 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 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.

The Christiania dealers in butter.
lard. etc. have lodged sharp protest
against the manner in which they have
been treated by the Norwegian-Ameri
can steamship company. They ordered
large quantities of lard and pork in
New York for the Christmas trade
The steamer that was to take it, name
ly the Kristianiafiord, did not take the
goods in New York, but took large
quantities of coffee and pork for the
Swedish market. The result was that
the people of eastern Norway were
left without the lard needed for theft
Christmas pastry. Nor did the Swedes
get tna1r goods on account of trouble
caused by the British government.
The Christiania importers maintain
that the steamship line acted shabbily.
1t is always harping ON the merits
of its patriotic services. and the mer-
chants of Norway are doing their best
to support it: but when the company
sees a chance TO make more money by
ignoring the Norwegian importers 1t
does not seem to hesitate to take that
chance. Those importers who we're
ignored in this particular case propose
to get even with the company in some
practical way.
