HEAVY MEAT EATERS
 HAVE SLOW KIDNEYS
Eat less meat if you feel Backachy or have bladder trouble-Take
 glass of Salta

No man or woman who eats meat regu- larly can make mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which excites 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 rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, 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 sedi- ment, irregular of passage or attended by q sensation of scalding, stop eating meat and get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take 8 tablespoonful in a glass of water before 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 n urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder weakness.
 lad Salts is inexpensive and cannot iniure; makes a delightful effervescent !ithia-water drink which everyone should take now and then to keep the
 ;lneys clean and active and the blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney complications.

the cause of the painful or painless end of many American customs. and
 many more are slated for the limbo
 of things that were.
 One peculiarly American custom,
 that has been heretofore regarded as
 almost a sacred right, is that of
 being privileged to criticise those in
 authority. Public men have hereto fore regarded themselves as fair
 targets for every mans verbal ar
 tillery. and hence have paid very little attention to it in the main.
 Under present conditions, how ever. the American people are call ed upon to forego-at least for the time being-this great American priv ilege; not at all because Of its eff fleets upon the subjects of their cen sure, but because of it's destructive effects upon the cause that at this time should be nearest the heart of every true son of America-the win ming of the war for the freedom of the earth.
 During the six months that have elapsed since this country entered the lists against the central powers of Europe. scarcely a public official has escaped this criticism. In many instances the effect has been little short of disastrous to the plans of the government. Not because of any direct effect upon the officials them- selves. but from the simple fact that no man or set of men is proof against opposition. Even the most flagrantly unjust criticism of the hxr al xxvfn fn extent destroy his influence, under his best efforts.
 If this country wishes an object lesson of the deadly effects of di- vided councils she has but to look at Russia. That the Russian people were justified in deposing the autoc- racy, none will deny But when the Czar relinquished the reins of gov ernment, it was to a divided and dis people-a people with no unity of thought or unanimity of aims All on earth that the Keren- sky government lacks is the moral support of the people. But without this it is impotent and chaos reigns
 Do the American people want cha os in this country? Unlicensed criti- cism and ill-considered attacks upon those in authority are powerful in- struments to bring about just this condition.
 President Wilson has been en- trusted with the destinies of the American people. Most of those un- der him in authority ore men of his choosing and answerable to him and to the people. as he is also an swerable to the people. Attacks on his lieutenants are so many sticks of dynamite at the foundation of the cause. They give encour- agement to the enemy and create an atmosphere at home that can have but one effect-to tie his hands and render futile his efforts

HE LABOR PROBLEM

At 12 o'clock on the night of Sep tember s, the manufacture of intoxi eating beverages was ended in the United States, Distilleries all over the land drew their fires and closed their doors Thousands of men were put out of employment. and millions of dollars worth of equipment must be diverted to other uses. And in significant fact that must strike us forcefully when we come to consider it.
 Just one instance: Peoria, H., a large whiskey center. announces that the 1.500 or 1000 men thrown out by the closing of the distilleries will be taken care of at once in other lines of work--that she has need for the services of every one of them Similar word comes from many other whiskey producing cen- ters.
 When a great industry such as this can cease all at once without any appreciable disturbance of la bor conditions, the fact should set us to thinking and thinking deeply.
 What of the supply of labor in the year that is before us? It is perfect ly apparent that the great business of the country MUST be kept going If this country is to finance the al- lied countries, as she has undertaken to do. With more than a million of her best workmen drawn to the colors, a re-dedication of labor is imperative on the part of that class that from one cause and another has heretofore dropped out of the ranks of the workers.
 It is all right to say to the farmer You must produce greater crops" but if he hasn't the force to manage his teams and implements we are asking of him an impossibility. And so in all other lines.
 There is but one answer: All who can must work, not because they need the proceeds of their labor, but because the country NEEDS THEIR LABOR
 There is absolutely no room in this country now for the man who can work, yet will not.

WILLIAMS A VICTIM
 ON NILES PROWESS
Champion Bows to Boston Player
 in Forest Hills Tourney

Forest Hills, L. l., Aug. 24.-Na- thaniel W. Niles. of Boston. playing one of the greatest games of his ca reer on American courts, defeated Richard Norris Williams, 2d, the na- tional champion, after a thrilling four set match on the cham pionship courts of the West Side Tennis club at For est Hills, Long Island, yesterday af- ternoon. The men met in the semi final round of the national Red Cross singles The score went at 6-2, 4-6, GA, 6-3, but the cold figures do not begin to tell the story of a match that must long remain memorable in the annals of the game.
 Williams went down to defeat under 1eaden and weeping skies. As a matter of fact, it rained intermit- tently from the beginning to the end of the struggle. The conditions made the court heavy and slippery, and the national champion seemed to have more trouble in keeping his feet than did Niles. The sodden balls also seemed to bother him, for Williams always plays his ground strokes low, and yesterday he made an astonish- ing number of nets in the four sets.
 A Different Williams.
 Williams was not the Williams of Wimbledon, or the man who crushed the great Mclaughlin at Newport in 1914, and William M. Johnston on the West Side courts in 1916. The three months of arduous $. soldering at Plattsburg this summer, with only the rarest of opportunities for practice on the courts, told their tale yesterday and Williams was not able to bring off the daring shots that have made his game a thing of wonder in other years-that is, he was not able to do 1t consistently.
 For brief sessions the cham pion came into his own and thrilled the crowd by a series of dazzling place ment aces that had Niles floundering g about his court, but eye, stroke and brain were not working with that 1 perfect coordination that has at oth- CT times marked Williams game above that of any of his rivals
 1 For Niles let 1t be said that he was ] travelling at such a pace that the 1 champion had to bring off these win
 ming shots or else go down before the Bostonian's forcing attack. By hi'
 victory Niles gained his final bracket ] The showers that fell all afternoon l forced the tournamest committee tt ] postpone the other semi-inal rouno match, in which Robert Lindley Mur- ray, of California, was scheduled to
 face John R. Strachan, another ma
 tive son." These two met this after noon at 3:3O o'clock, and the winner will play Niles in the final round to- morrow afternoon.

OUR COPS READY.
Meriden Police dn for a Tough En-
 counter Next Wednesday.

The baseball team which will repre- sent the New Britain department in the game in Meriden next Wednesday afternoon, is nearly fit for the fray, facing Meriden, the locals will stack up against one of the best police teams in the state, this reputation having been gained on the diamond. The showing of the "coppers" against Jimmy Naughton's picked team Wednesday created plenty of conti- dence in the hearts of the players and their followers.
 A number of the team that defeated Hartford in the game held in con- nection with the inspection last year, will again don a uniform, several of the hopes that have been trying to convert themselves into outflelders during the practice being relegated to the bench. To date no official an- nouncement has been made concern ing a mascot, but one of the try-eut outfielders would certainly make a hit in this role. this being a job for a child of a "mol1ycoddle."
 Paddy O'Mara, Pete Cabelus, Bill Hart. Patrick Howley and Bill Sowney will be found cavorting on the dia- mond when "P1ay Balr' is called by This umps.' A large delegation of the department, clerks in the stores and other friends of the team will accom- pany them, besides some of the Hart ford department headed by Jim O'Connell and Larry Lacey.

 Meet Locals Sunday Afternoon oa'
 Ellis Street Diamond.
 For the third time this season, the crack Torrington team will make it's appearance at the Pioneer diamond Sunday afternoon, when the scalps of the locals will be the object of the visit. The season of 1917 has been one of the most successful in the his tory of the. upstate team, the brass workers having met and defeated some of the crack teams of the state. including the Pioneers on two occa- sions. In a recent game with the fast Poli team of Hartford, the Torring- tons were nosed out in the ninth in ming. Patten and Mcleod, the crack battery will be in points for the vis- itors in Sundays contest.
 The Pioneers were smarting under the sting of previous defeats and will strive hard to retrieve themselves In last Sundays game the locals showed the best form of the year and their followers are confident that at least one victory will be the fruits of'the three-time clash of the teams this season. Billy" Dudack has been groomed for this important contest and with the "big fellow' in form. there are boulders on the track ahead of Torrington. The game will be called at 3 o'clock with Barbour of Hartford holding the indicator. The contest will mark the last appear ance of "Howie" Blinn in a Pioneer uniform, the star outfielder having been called to the colors
