During the evening a number of

The Ladies Responsible.
The ladies alone are responsible
for last nights success. They re.

ranged menu which appealed to
everyone and transformed the prosaic
Commercial club rooms into roseate
bowers Of beauty. The music COM
mittee had planned a program which
would have proven one of the attrac-

it to say that the party was a sue
cess, that everyone enjoyed it hugely
and that it formed fitting finale for
an unusually jolly social season at
the club.

SALTS IF BACKACHY
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Drink Lots Of Water and Stop Eating
Meat for While If Your Bladder
Troubles YOU


When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says a well-knOwn
authority. Meat forms uric acid
which oyerworks the kidneys in their
effort to filter it from the blood anu
they become sort of paralyZed and
loggy. When your kidneys get slug
gish and clog you must relieve them.
like you relieve your bowels; remOv-
ing all the body's urinous waste, else
you have backache, sick headache,
dizzy spells; your stomach sours,
tongue is coated, and when the wealth
er is bad you have rheumatic tWinges.
The urine is cloudy, full Of sediment,
channels often get sore, water scalds
and you are obliged to seek relief two
or three times during the night.
Either consult good, reliable ply
sician at once or get from your phar-
macist about four ounces Of Jad
Salts; take tablespoonful in a glass
of water before breakfast for a few
days and your kidneys will then act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid Of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been
tsed for generations to clean and sti.
uulate sluggish kidneys, also to neu.
traliZe acids in the urine so it no
longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is a l;fn saver for regu.
lar meat eaters. i is inexpensive,
cannot injure and makes delightful,
effervescent lithia- water drink.

Dispatches from Berlin and Vienna
have pictured how the congressional
agitation was received, there as indi-
eating that the president, in his de-
mands upon Germany and Austria,
did not have the support of his own

elected representatives OF the people.
Await Campaign.
Results of the new AustrO-German
submarine campaign against armed
merchant ships of the Entente allies
beginning at midnight are awaited by
the United States with grave concern.
Although under their new instruc-
tons, TeutOnic naval commanders
are authorized to sink, without warn
ing, all armed enemy merchantmen
they encounter, it is understood they
have been told to make sure, if pos
sible, that no Americans are aboard
any ship attacked.
Furthermore. in the latest commun.
ication regarding submarine warfare,
Germany has assured the United
States that the new orders are so for
mutilated as to prevent destruction
of enemy liners ION account of their
armament unless such armament is
proved
The attitude of the United States
government toward the new policy of
Germany and Austria has not been
definitely determined.
A Big Surprise.
News of the presidents decision
came as a distinct surprise at the
capitol, where the leaders of both
houses heard of it first through the
letters to MIR. Pou. There We're some
expressions of dissatisfaction, partic-
ularly among members of the house,
at the course adopted.
1t is considered probable that ac-
ton by both houses may be taken
Thursday. An attempt hardly could
be made to bring resolution into
the house tomorrow, as under the
rules :, it would require two-thirds
vote to permit consideration on Gal
endar Wednesday,"
