ton be enacted during the present ses-
sion of Congress whereby American In
sane patients now being cared for in
the Panama Canal Zone may be trans
ferred to the Government Hospital for

the Secretary Of War has written to
Speaker Clark, pointing out the neces-
sity for such law. The Secretary of
War states that the Secretary OF the
Interior and the superintendent OF the
government hospital thoroughly ap-
prove of the legislation which he rec
ommends.
The letter to the Speaker says that
the Canal Zone cases of insanity where
1t Is impossible to establish the legal
residence Of the patients In any par
ticular state of the Union. 1t is claimed
that inasmuch as the tropics are not a
proper place for caring for these pa
tients. it would be wise to provide leg
islation that would enable the authori-
ties to transfer them to the govern
ment hospital on the same basis as the
insane in the District of Columbia and
in the United States reservations In the
various states are at present disposed OF.
In urging legislation to this effect.
the Secretary of War says that a pro-
vision should be made whereby. upon

patients in question, they may be
transferred to their legal places or
residence from the government hos
pital.

BLADDER BOTHER
Take 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 it on to the bladder,
where it often remains to irritate and
| inflame, causing a 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
scalding sensation and is very pro-
fuse; again, there is difficulty in avoid
ing it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call II,
because they can't control urination.
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 yonr 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 Ii no long err
is 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 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 etferyes-
cent Whitewater drink, which quickly
relieves bladder trouble.-Adv.
