ACID IN MEAT
CLOGS THE KIDNEYS

If you must have you meat every day,
eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts
occasionally, says a noted authority who
tells us that meat forms uric acid which
almost paratyzes the kidneys in their eff
forts to expel it from the blood. They
become sluggish and weaken, then you
suffer with g dull misery in the kidne'
region, sharp pains in the back or sick
headache, dizziness, your stomach sours,
tongue is coated and when the weather
Is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or three
time during the night.
To neutrali1e these Irritating acids, to
cleanse the kidneys and flush off the
body's urinous waste get four ounces OF
Jad Salts from any pharmacy here;
take a tablespoonful in q 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 used for generations
TO flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys

GERMANY,s PURPORTED PEACE.

Washington, Dec. 2O.-What purports
to be an outline of the Kaiser's much
advertised Christmas peace terms
has reached here through the same
neutral diplomatic channels which
earlier in the week received tnforma-
ton to support intimation from
abroad that a new peace offer was
coming.
In the main, the terms a sdescrfbed'
follow the lines Of those said to nave
been written by Foreign Minister Won
Kuehlmann last summer: At that TINE
thew were denounced as having been
written purely for political purposes
The so-called terms are sa1d\to a
the disposition of Alsace-Lorrame to a
plebfscate of the inhabitants.
Agreeing to pay Germany for mel
lost African colonies and money to be
used for the rehabilitation of Belgium
Serbia, Rumania and Northern france
Russian provinces bordering the
Baltis, the Black Sea and Prussia 70
become Independent, under a German
plan.
! Poland to be called an independent
state under Austrian subera1nty.
Disarmament, freedom of the seas
and commerce to be left to the peace
conference.
Rumania, Serbia and Montenegro C
retain their original boundaries, VIII
the right of ccess to the sea peins
granted to Serbia.
Serbia to remain intact.
Whether such a proposal of terms Is
merely another step in the German
propaganda to impress the public mlnC
that the Allies are responsible Tor !
continuance of the war, or whether l
really is a feeler for peace, is a u
iect for the estimate OF the govern
ments concerned.
