HEAVY MEAT EATERS
HAVE SLOW KIDNEYS
Eat Less Meat If You Feel
BaCkaChy or Have Bladder
TrOubIe---Take Glass
Of Salts

No man OF woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally, says a
well-knOwn authority. Meat forms
uric acid which cxcites the kidneys,
they become over-worked from the
strain, get sluggish and fail to filter
the waste and poisons from the blood,
then we get sick. Nearly all rheuma-
tism, headaches, liver trouble, nervous.
ness, dizziness, sleeplessness and urinary
disorders come from sluggish kidneys.
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 sensation of scalding, stop
eating meat and get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take
a tablespoonful in glass of water be-
fore breakfast and in few days your
kidneys will act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
flush and stimulate the kidneys, also to
neutralize the acids in urine so it no
longer causes irritation, thus ending
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
iniure; makes a delightful effervescent
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.

TAXPAYERS LEAGUE
DISCUSSES MATTERS
Salaries Of Commissioners
and Widows Pensions Are
Both JOIted

AT the meeting of the Taxpayers
league held Wednesday evening at the
court house, Joseph H. Albert presiding,
Judge P. II. Darcy, Judge W. NJ.
Bushey and Senator A. M. LaFollette
were called on to tell OF the state meet
ing Of the league which they recently
attended in Portland.
The amount of money paid to the va.
rious commissions was too much, ac-
cording to Judge Darcy. Members at,
tending the state meeting felt that
many men on the commissions were
paid from $4,000 to $4,000 year who
could not earn half that amount in
other occupations. Judge darcy said
that a resolution was pussed favoring a
taxpayers lobby at the coming legisla-
ture. As all those interested in inereas-
ing their salaries, as well as other spe.
cial interests had lobbies, why not the
taxpayers?
Incidentally, the judge said that the
only lobbying he ever did was when he
appeared before the legislature and ask.
ed that he and o few OF his friends be
reimbursed for the money paid in the
purchase of 12 acres at Champoeg. The
state already owned three acres, and as
patriotic act, the additional 10 had
been purchased. The money was refund
ed amounting to $1,265.
''I do not believe in these pensions, "
said Judge Darcy. "When people
accept pensions. they are in a eondi.
'ti0n of pauperism. Means of labor
would be more self respecting. We are
building up a spirit of pauperism with
the present system OF pensions" "
"At first, the only way to be safe
from a law suit was to pay every
Widows pension bill tn came along" "
said Judge Bushey. "When the bill fot

men came from MultnOmah county and
helped PASS the law"

Possibility of Sviss System
Being Used in United States

BY the time a Swiss school boy is
twenty he has developed his physique
to its high point.
He has made his body as fine and
strong as his particular body can be
made.
This has been done scientifically
and meanwhile, the call of his splendid
muscles has driven him to football and
other sports.
That crowded Polo grounds in New
York makes you sick, when you look
over these Swiss, You couldn It get
10000 healthy Swiss to sit around of an
afternoon watching other men play
game. Each man wants to play him
self. Hundreds of little sport centers
are always busy.
That cheering grlndstand at the Polo
grounds filled with men that couldn t
run to first base without putting, is
disgusting thought, here in the war
country.
Anything in the world is better than
that. Any pacifist must admit that
even learning how to shoot, out in the
country-learning how to shoot with
the intention of killing an enemy some
! day if you have to-is better tnan the
average Americans silly mental par
tieipation in baseball. Or, if you re too
much of baseball fan, make it kelly
pool.
The average Swiss boy can out shoot
the average American boy.
The Swiss boy belongs to a rifle club
in his neighborhood. The club is sup.
ported by the community. His shoot
ing costs him nothing.
Let an American boy get the idea
that he wants to be a sharpshooter
Where can he learn
Where, in most cases, will he find
the money to buy his rifle and ammuni-
tion2
Rich American boys, true enough,
have opportunity to learn the art of
shooting. Good shooting is among the
accomplishments Of almost every rich
American youth.
But the Average American boy, no
matter how deeply he may be stirred
by his desire to learn how to defend
himself and his country in war, is with
out a chance unless he later in life de-
velops political or social ambition, and
goes into the state militia.
In his shooting, as in his physical
training, the Swiss youth finds A world
Of fun. There are shooting matches in
various neighbOrhoods
Finally, the champions Of a canton
are weeded out. They shoot against
each otner in semi-finals and every
year at Berne there is A great national
shooting match that draws throngs of
husky shooting men from every corner
of the little country.
Warlike sports, says the pacifist.
Yes but it's a sport that keeps
Switzerland from war. And beseball
and cricket never kept any country
from war.
(Article No ) will deal with the
democracy Of the Swiss army.)

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Berne, May 5.-The average Swiss
man is better physically and as 4 sol
der than the average American male,
thanks to the system of compulsory
military training in Switzerland.
Gets under the hide, statement
like this, but it 8 true.
Every male Swiss can shoot straight
er, run longer, march farther and en-.
dure more than the average male
American. You have only to know
what the Swiss is taught, to do and
what the average American ism t
taught to do to realize that this is
true.
Every Swiss school boy must 60 to
a gymnasium. Every Swiss school
must have a gymnasium. 1t does mt
matter whether it's a church school
or a business college or a fancy, high
priced school for little Swiss Lord
Fauntleroys; it must have a gymna'
stun.
In this gymnasium must be taught
daily, certain exercises prescribed by
the government.
The average American doesn't even
know what these exercises are.
Now and then, it is. true, after he s
fattening up at thirty, the American
answers an advertisement and pur-
chases some alleged scientific physical
culture book and follows the instruc'
tions therein.
Any Swiss school boy of ten could
teach him world of valuable things
in this line.

that often children were left money
but that they would not receive it un-
til of age. In the meantime, the county
was expected to bring up the children,
although when they become of age they
would receive money left by their faith

count was only $500, and unless some
thing was done to relieve the county,
the poor account would soon run far be-
yond the $4,000 of last year.
Senator A. NJ. La Toilette, who also
attended the state meeting, declared
that Oregon was taxed more than any
state in the union, and he had the fig
ures to prove it. In 1902, the per capita
tax in Oregon was only SLAB, while in
1913 it was $30,50. %he net bonde
Indebtedness of the state, according tt
the senator, is now 81, while in 1902 it
was $26.11, and in 1890, only $3.50.
While the population or the state is in
creasing at the rate of 7 IL per cent,
the ad valorum taxes have increased 81
per cent.
As to the industrial condition in the
state, Senator La Toilette referred to a
friend of his who intended to establish
a cannery, but changed his mind after
taking note Of our labor laws He re-
ferred also to the Oregon Packing com

HOW j. 5. LOST
A GOOD GUN
Congressional investigation Is Sue.
cessful in Exposing Mean
Actions of Officers.
BY the Governor.
GEORGE BRODIGAN,
Secretary OF State.
BY ellison Gardner.

WASHINGTON, March 25.-No ma
chine guns have been bought by the
United States army in three years
The number now in the possession of
are army rs 1860. Many of these are
antiquated and unsatisfactory in their
operation. There are none in reserve.
More even than the rifle. the ma
chine gun has been shown in Europe
to be important in modern warfare.
Not 10 be equipped with a large num-
be signally unprepared.
The machine Eune situation was
brought to light in course of the de-
bate on the army bill. In reply TO
questions by minority leader Mann the
facts were stated by Representative
Hay, chairman of the military affairs
committee.
The remarkable fact was brought
out that the failure to purchase ma
chine guns was not due to the lack of
an appropriation for this purpose.
Every year for three years the army
appropriation bill has carried an item
OF $4,000 for the purchase of machine
guns, and every year for three years
the appropriation has been unused.
When asked by the military affairs
committee why machine guns had not
been bought with the money provided
for that purpose, the chief of the hu-
reau of ordnance replied that the de.
partment had not been able to decide
on n type of gun which promised to
be satisfactory.
4 few more questions brought out
the fact that an officer in the United
States artillery service. Col. /. n.
Lewis, had invented n Quick.firing ma.
chine gun and several years ago Of
fered 1t to the government The bu-
reau of ordinance conducted expert
ments and rejected il. Col. Lewis
thereupon took his invention abroad
and sold II to England. Holland. Switz-
erland and Germany. and il l., the
Lewis gun which is now reported TO
be doing the most satisfactory work
abroad.
In justification of the judgment of
the bureau Of ordinance II was re-.
ported to the committee that, at the
first test of the Lewis gun, the breach
exploded. Chairman Hay explained.
however that this was due to the fact
that Col Lewis, being a poor man.
had been Obliged TO make certain parts
of cast iron which should have been
made of tempered steel. and that later
better constructed gun of the LOWS
type was subjected 10 the severe test
of being operated from an aeroplane
and that 1t not only fired reliably but
that ii struck the target every time.
AS a final sidelight revealing n pos
sible reason why the Lewis gun had
been rejected in favor of no gun a;
all, II was brought out in the house
debate that some personal jealousy
was alleged TO exist among officers OF
the bureau of ordinance as q result OF
certain remarks said TO have been
made by Colonel Lewis rejecting on
the conduct of certain army officers
during the Spanish.American war.
