MAR RGARET HALEY SUES TRlB,
ALLEGING LIBEL
One year ago yesterday the Chi
cago Tribune took a rap at Margaret
Haley, business agent OF the Chicago
Teachers Federation. The story
was Untruthful, says Miss Haley, and
she visited Walter Howey, city editor,
and asked him to retract.
She gave the Trib year to do so
and yesterday sued the paper for
$4,000, alleging libel
On Aug. "a, 1915, the Trib told
how the school management COM
mittee of the board Of education was
considering means to hit the teach
ers. When the news of the story
was played out, the Tribune began
to say things about Miss Haley.
The story declared that in 1907
Miss Haley, according to some un-
named source of information, was
drawing pay from the schools as a
teacher, although she was not doing
work in the schools and at the same
time was getting a salary from the
Chicago Teachers Federation.
Miss Haley didn't see the article
for over month after it was printed
because the Tribune picked out day
when she was out of town to attack .
her.
About ten minutes after her atten-
ton was called to the yarn Miss Ha-
ley was on her ay.to the Tribune
office. She told Howey that the story
was wrong and asked him where he
got the facts. He said they came
from the "morgue" of the paper,
where old stories about public char
acters are kept.

Marcel added, while Bourke gasped
for breath, that the gentleman in ques

absence of other walters, and had
been fobbed off with lie.

SLIGHTLY Embarrassing.

The public is invited to sympathize
with quiet and retiring citizen who
occupied a seat near the door of a
crowded street car, when a masterful
woman entered. Having a newspaper
behind which to hide, he was fixed and
subjugated by her glittering eye. He
rose and offered his place to her.
Seating herself-without thanking
him-she exclaimed in tones that
reached to the farthest end of the
car: What do you want to stand UP
there for? Come here and sit on my
lap"
Madam, gasped the man, as his
face became scarlet, Il fear am not
deserving of such an honor"

woman. You know very well / was

SALTS IF BACKACHY OR
KIDNEYS TROUBLE YOU
Eat Less Meat If Your Kidneys Aren't
Acting Right or If Back Hurts or
Bladder Bothers You.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery In the kidney region
1t generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says a welJ-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they be-
come sort of paralyzed and loggy.
When your Kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine Is
cloudy, full of sediment, channels Oft
en- get sore, water scalds and you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night
Either consult good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in 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, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutraliZe
acids in the urine so 1t no longer irri-
tates. thus ending bladder weakness.

meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes a delightful, effer-
vescent Whitewater drink-Adv.

Marcel, rejecting that Bourk0's
reckoning was still some louis sky,
made no bones about pleading guilty.
Interrogated, the culprit deposed that
he had taken the money because Do

sorry. Yes, it was probable that,
granted further opportunity he wnu;d
do it again. Advised that he was ap-
parently case-hardened young cTin,i-

would certainly improve.
Puzzled by the boys attituo e,
Bourke agitated his hair and won

if his employers were informed of his

Marcel looked panied, and pointed
Bourke would be obviously unfair; the
only real difference between them, he
explained, was that where he f1lched
a louis Bourke filched thousands, and
if Bourke insisted on turning him over
to the mercies of Nine. and Papa
Troyon, who would certainly summon
a sergeant de vile, he, Marcel, would
be quite justified in retaliating by
telling the prefecture de police all that
he knew about Bourke.
This was no chance shot, and went
home. When, dismayed, the Irishman
