When your kidneys hurt and your back

clean like you keep your bowels clean,

salts which removes the body's urinous
waste and stimulates them to their nor

a tablespoonful in glass of water

AS THE EDITOR SEES IT.

The action of twelve United States
senators in conducting filibuster in
the closing hours OF congress that de-
feated the will OF the president, an
overwhelming majority OF congress and
like proportion of the people OF the
nation, will have at least one benefit
cent result, despite the fact that the
act will stand out as one OF the blacklist
smudges on American patriotism. 1t
will solidify the American people be-
hind the president in his determination
to assert the inviolabiity OF American
life and commerce upon the high seas.
, In every section of the country men of
every political faith have denounced
the disgraceful filibuster. Ministers,
merchants. professional men, farmers,
laborers, women. everywhere show a
determination to assert for once and all
American rights upon the seas, even il
it leads to the war we so ardently de-
sire to escape. The people do not want
war ii il can be honorably avoided, but
they are ready to fight and sacrifice for
/ the retention Of their honor and their
rights of life and commerce il it be-
comes necessary to do so. Today there
is a grim set to the American counten-
ance that means stern business.
Another thing we have noted with a
degree OF pride in our own country.
Big Business has come right to the
front in the crisis. Heads of great
manufacturing concerns, railroad cor
poti9ns, engineering firms, all assured
the government that their corporations
and their individual services are at the
disposal of the government if war
comes. There is little noise or loud
talk. but everywhere calm and inflex,
