TAKE SALTS TO
FLUSH KIDNEYS
Eat Less Meat If You Feel
Backachy or Have Blad-
der Trouble.

Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their
efforts to filter it from the system
Regular eaters of meat must flush the
kidneys occasionally. You must re-
lieve them like you relieve your bow
els: removing all the acids, waste and
poison, else you feel a dull misery in
the kidney region, sharp pains in the
back or sick headache, dizziness, pour
stomach sours. tongue is coated and
when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full Of sediment: the channels
often get irritated, .obliging you to get
up two or three times during the
night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take table
spoonful in a glass Of water before
breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then act fine and bladder
disorders disappear. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon Juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys
and stop bladder irritation. Jad salts
is inexpensive; harmless and makes a.
delightful effervescent lithia water
drink which millions Of men and
women take now and then, thus
avoiding serious kidney and bladder
diseases.--Adv.

GIRL SCOUTS ACTIVE
lFrom Chicago Herald. J


The Girl Scouts were the pioneers.
In America, for preparedness. The
type Of preparedness advocated by
this organization is genuine training
Of each individual in both body and
mind. More than two-thirds OF the
paign is being launched so that every
city, town and hamlet in America may
be reached. The purpose is to bring
the benefits OF the scientific training
Of the girls Of the nation within
reach of every girl in America.
Before the campaign ends 1t is hop
ed to have not less than 100000 girls
equipped in mind and body to render
effective cooperation in any national
the offer Of the services of the Girl
emergency that may arise. Already
Scouts rendered to the Red Cross
when diplomatic relations with Ger
many were severed, have been accept
ed and the Girl Scout Troops in differ
ent parts of the country have had in
structions as to just what to do in
the event they are called upon.
That Girl Scouts form an important
adjunct to the military arm of the
government in time of war Is shown
in a letter received by Mrs. Juliette
Low, president of the National Girl
Scouts. from Sir Robert Powell. the
father of all scout movements. and
their opportunity for usefulness ex-
ceeds even that of the Boy Scouts.
The Girl Scouts, starting with as
few as eight girls to a patrol, two or
more patrols forming troop. may he
organized wherever there is an adult
willing to serve as leader or captain.
The ages for scouts ranges from 10
years upward. A troop may be iden-
titled with either school. church,
settlement. Sunday school or other
similar organizations. or may be un-
attached. Wherever six or eight girls
can be found to interest themselves in
the work, the scout plan of organiza-
ton may be embraced.
1t Is the desire of Mrs. Low, the
national president. that girls and
adults in any part of the country who
are interested communicate with the
national headquarters at 527 Fifth
avenue, New York city, which will
gladly furnish the information and
instructions necessary for organiza-
ton in any community.

THE DICKINSON NORMAL

The state of North Dakota ought,
without question or hesitation, to keep
faith with the people of the great
southwestern section who have asked
for. and who have been promised the
establishment Of a normal school at
Dickinson. The need for such an in
stitution is apparent Many of the
districts In the territory to be served
are already populous. and the entire
territory is rapidly becoming 80.
Young people in that territory who
desire to fit themselves for the work
of teaching cannot do so without trav-
cling great distances to other schools.
which are already crowded to their
capacity. The North Dakota Educa-
ton association, representing advanc-
ed educational thought in every Sec
ton Of the state, has given the Dick
inson normal it's unqualified approval.
The school has been authorized bv
the affirmative vote of an overwhelm-
ing majority of the people who voted
directly on the constitutional amend
ment for that purpose. And the
'Ie't0 So'hihilleeS VI DOtT pOI1I1Cal par
ties last year declared themselves in
favor of the establishment of this
school.
For the legislature now to fail to
make provision for this institution
would be an act Of bad faith, utterly
nexcusable. And for the state to
keep faith means not merely to make
an appropriation for the Dickinson
school. but to make the appropriation
sufficiently large that the new normal
shall be going institution, equipped
Tor effective service, within a reason
able time. That does not imply pro-
vision for an institution on a scale
for beyond the early requirements of
the district But 1t does imply that
the present and manifest needs Of the
territory should be met immediately
and adequately. The state of North
Dakota needs normal school at
Dickinson, and it needs it now. There
should be no extravaganza in connec-
ton with the appropriation, but neith-
er should there be any cheese pairing.

Sentinel Butte. N. D.
February "a 1417.

Grand Forks Herald:
] am mailing an account Of a meet
ing held here on the goth inst. Bowen
and Evans we're the speakers.
There were at least 100 people
present Of which about 60 were farm
ers, the balance being ladies and
business men.
Bowen dwelt upon H. B. "A and the
dirt done the farmers in killing this
bill but in reading the bill he left
out the jokers and claimed he had
read the entire bill until his deceit
was called and then he went up in
the air and started a TRADE Of abuse
upon the senate members and busi-
ness men in general. This the farm
ers present did not approve Of and
he was promptly called. None of the
farmers present approved of the bill
when 1t was finally read to them and
explained 80 they could judge for
just what IL meant.
Bowen finally left tho room with
out making an attempt at having a
resolution of approval passed as he
intended. During the arguments
which followed Bowen was asked
about taxes which prominent League
members including Mr.. Townley had
failed to pay our county and could be
nicely used to support our schools,
etc. These we're trihing matters he
said.

EITHER OF Two COURSES.

The president Of the United States
has appeared before congress, has
stated the facts concerning the crisis
which exists in our international af-
fairs and, on the eve Of the adjourn
ment Of congress: has asked that
authority be given him to take such
steps as may be necessary for the pro-
lection Of American rights.
Congress may adopt either of two
courses. 1t may grant the authority
asked for, and grant 1t promptly and
without question. Or it may either
withhold its consent or grant it, in a
half-hearted and grudging manner.
| The adoption of the first course will
/! expose the country to no risk. II II is
really intended that American rights
shall be defended. The president asks
for no declaration of war. He does
not desire war. If he did he could
have had the nation at war now. for
the conditions are such that without
stepping outside of his constitutional
| jurisdiction, President Wilson could at
any time take steps which would pre-
cipitate war within a day or an
hour. On the contrary, the president
has gone to the utmost limit of patti
ence and endurance to avert war. To
grant the authority asked for will be
simply to enable the president to act
promptly and effectively, and in the
consciousness that he has the full
support Of congress. II the conditions
,oI, tl1x o1x;1 L.
tive.
That will be the immediate and
local effect Of prompt action by con-
gress along the lines suggested. But
there is to be considered another in
fluence Of vast Importance. If Ger
many actually desires war with the
United States, nothing that this nation
can do will avert war. But, if Ger
many does not desire war; but wishes
to push her submarine campaign Just
to the limit OF war with this country,
then action by congress at this time,
instead of being provocative of war,
will tend to prevent it. If the German
authorities are convinced that the un-
lawful killing of American citizens
will Immediately bring them into an
armed conflict with the United States,
and that the president, in the meas
ures which he may take in defense of
American rights, has the full support
Of congress and the American people.
there will be no killing Of Americans
unless for purposes of her own; Ger
many is unalterably determined on
war with the United States.
In the present juncture the policy
most likely to bring about a war is
the policy of hesitation. That will
encourage the aggressor to the COM
mission of further acts Of violence,
and in that case war will be the in
evitable result.
The issue before congress and the
country is plain. 1t must not be evad-
ed. The president should now be as
sured of united support in whatever
measures may be necessary in defense
OF American rights, which, in the last
analysis. are simply the rights Of all
mankind. And he should be provided
whatever funds are necessary for the
performance of his duty.

MYSTERIES OF REAL
HUNGER POINTED OUT
Fortnightly Club Holds Very Interest,"
ing Session at library and Gem
cral Discussion Ensues.

Speaking Of "The Physiology of
Hunger" DR.. G. e. King gave a very
interesting address at the meeting of
the Fortnightly club in the public
library last evening. discussing sew
eral theories on the subject and de-
scribing briefly the chief sources from
which our knowledge of the
phenomena connected with the sensa-
ton called hunger has come.
Most of the systematic investiga-
ton has been performed in quite re-
cent years. and a very large part Of 1t
by American students" he said.
The distinction between the hun
ger and appetite was pointed out,
and II summary was given of the in
vestigatiens which have been made
and which have resulted in the
knowledge that hunger is inseparably
associated with the contraction of
the lining Of the stomach, although
there are chemical and other factors
whose influence is not yet under
stood.
The address was listened to with
close attention and a general dis
cusSion followed.

SENSIBLE ACTION.

The state senate has acted in sane
and sensible manner in declining to
be q party to the appointment of for
mer President Worst, of the Agricul-
tural college. as president emeritus or
that institution. at a salary of $1,sOo
q year. or any other salary, or no sal
ary at oil.
The objection was made that the
position which it was proposed to
and that such positions ought to be
filled by the educational authorities
of the state who have been constitut-
ed for that purpose, and that 1t would
be just as proper for the legislature
to start peddling out college degrees
as to take the action which had been
urged That objection is perfectly VAL
i'd. The state has certain machinery
for the management of its educational
institutions. That machinery was Gre
ated by law, and operates under and
In accordance with the law. If the
machinery is defective it is within the
power of the legislature to mend it,
but when the legislature steps in and
undertakes to handle the details of
the work of an educational institu-
ton it is undertaking something for
which it was not created. and for
which it is not fitted.
There is the further objection that
In the bill as passed by the house pro-
vision was made for the creation of
an office, with salary attached, but
with no duties Of any kind specified.
That is undeniable. And that is not
good practice for legislature.
OF course the whole action is po-
litical. pr. Worst assumed All attitude
of defiance toward the board of re-
gents, which had been created for the
express purpose of managing the af-
fairs of the state educational institu-
tions. 1t became evident that unless
the affairs of the Agricultural college
were to he kept in continual turmoil
the executive management must be
placed in other hands. He was treat
ed with every possible courtesy, and
was rendered the position of presi-
dent emeritus. with a substa ntia1 sal
airy with duties which. performed III
the right spirit, would have been con-
genial to him and beneficial to the
state. He refused, and his refusal was
registered in such a manner that no
course was open to the board except
to remove him summarily. This was
done, and DR.. Ladd was made presi-
dent in his stead.
The movement at this session to
have DR.. Worst pensioned by the state
was evidently inspired less by a de-
sire to befriehd him than to slap the
board of regents and the governor
who appointed its members. 1t is a
piece Of cheap politics, and it is to
he hoped that it will be a long time
before such another proposal is made
in a North Dakota legislature.
