TAKE SALTS TO
FLUSH KIDNEYS
Eat Less Meat II You Fee Backachy or
Bladder Troubles YOu-Salts is
Fine for Kidneys.

Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworkeds the kidneys in their
efforts to filter it from the system. Reg
ular eaters of meat must flush the
kidneys occasionally. You must re-
Ieve them like you relieve your bow
els; removing all the acids, waste and
poison, else you feel dull misery In
the kidney 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 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 tablespoonful in
a glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will then
act fine and bladder disorders disap-
pear. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice.
combined with ithia, and has been
used for generations to clean and
stimulate sluggish kidneys and stop
bladder irritation. Jad Salts is mex
pensive; harmless and makes a de-
lightful effervescent lithion-water
drink which millions of men and wo-
men take now and then, thus avoiding
serious kidney and bladder diseases.

Seen Through Blue Glasses.

Wearing dark blue glasses / stood be-
side the veteran Scotsman and witnessed
what is termed tapping the furnace.
Prior to the tapping l had looked into
the furnace box. which was some thirty
feet square, and seen the steel bubbling
as violently as one ever saw water boil.
In this intense boiling process the iron
is converted into steel
From the base on one side of the fur-
mace ran sluiceway and opening into
this Sluiceway from the furnace was a
gate The sluiceway itself opened into
the ingot mold. At given signal the
gate was mechanically lifted and the
metal rushed like torrent down the
sIuiceway into the great mold. Spray
or sparks few high in the air from this
sizzling cascade. Seen through blue
glasses il was a purplish spectacle of
amazing splendor: glanced at for a
second with the naked eye it was a
gorgeous mixture of red. white. blue,
green and gold. When the furnace was
empty the result in the mold wa1 an
fngot of steel weighing sixty tons.
Later this ingot could be seen being
shaped into a jacket for a fourteen
inch naval gun.
This factory is full of wonders, but it
contains nothing more wonderful than
this. 1t has electric furnaces where
wires as large as ones thumb produce
in a chamber about the size of an ordi-
nary room heat of 5000 degrees Fab
renheit where metal turnings shoveled
IN as StokerS SnoNel IN coal are con-
verted almost instantaneously into
molten steel. Gun jackets, gun tubes,
gun breeches and fat steel wire for
binding guns of all ca1ibers from the
small sizes used for anti-aircraft pur-
poses up to the largest guns used for
battleships and land forts are made
here.
Here also steel castings for all pur-
poses. forgings for marine engines and
Railway locomotives. pointings for
Ctrc Cfa .ir1ey
cars. transport wagons. airplane en-
gines and electric motors, generators,
shells of all sizes and descriptions for
field artillery and naval guns, high
grade steel tubes for aeroplane parts,
carbon~and alloy steel for cutting tools
and hundreds of other things
And at this moment not a blow is
struck. not fire lighted and not an
ounce of engineering skill is expended
except for the purpose of beating au-
tocracy in this war.

AMSTERDAM. Holland. September s.
admission Of failure was made by the
German governor general of Poland,
Gen. Won Beseler. IN a speech made In
Warsaw yesterday. He said that the
Germans regretted that they had found
the Poles SO little pleased with the Ger
graciously granted by the two kaisers
He added: I'm the early days of the
occupation we heard many tempera-
mental speeches. They sounded hope
knowledge now That we have failed in
many ways"
Gen. Won Beseler also reproached the
Poles with not allowing easy recruiting
for the Polish army. He remarked that
they were ungrateful. as Germany only
desired Poland's good and happiness.
Still. he said, Germany had decided to
continue the work for the Poles, though
perhaps on different lines.
In connection with this speech, 1t is
confidently expected that the negotia
t1ons proceeding between Berlin and
Vienna regarding the new Polish gov
ernment which the central powers are
eager to establish in Warsaw before
sooner than some think. 1t is believed
that Gen. Won Beseler's days in War
saw had been counted and that his
speech was merely a farewell Grafton.
ne oHlN BUSINESS now IN nanQ Is the
establishing as quickly and as we'll as
possible of Polish pro-German govern
ment, giving Germany and Austria su-
preme political control of Poland with
out apparent responsibility for the gov
ernment.
In Polish circles in Holland it is said
that so long as German troops occupy
Poland no government really represent
ing the population will be possible. In
Warsaw. at any rate, it will not sur
vive the departure of German troops
Poland. they declare. is not going to
abandon its submission to Russia for
the sake of submitting to Germany, and
no German or Austrian prince will ever
be allowed to sit in safety on the Pol
ish throne This, they maintain, must
be given to Polish king, selected in
accordance with the vote of the people
of Poland. All that the Germans and
Austrians decide during the military
occupation is provisional and valueless
in the eyes of the Polish nation, nor
will Poland allow Polish soldiers to
shed their blood in the interests of the
central powers, who are eagerly busy
ing themselves in running the country
for their own selfish ends This. saw

BERN. Switzerland. August 5.-From
the Polish Central Agency we learn
that Herr Witos. the Polish deputy in
tho Austrian reichsrat and leader of
the popular party in Galicia. has made
the following communication to the
Piast, the organ of that party:
Here We are on the eve of the har-
vests. Their growth has been forced
by the frosts Of May and the prolonged
drought The nearer We come to them
the greater are our fears for the re-
suit. Without circumlocution we may
say simply that disaster is possible.
And this is but natural. The spring
was cold and late in coming. AS soon
as the corn came out of the ground
there were frosts and almost every
where the rye perished. especially
where the soil was of sandy nature.
Then came drought: for weeks 1t lasted,
interrupted only by occasional slight
showers which left no trace.

J the asphalt plaza in front of the Capt.
| tol building for drilling purposes
Elliott Woods. superintendent of the

tempore of the Senate and the Speaker
| of the House had authorized him to
| grant this permission and that Tues
! day nights had been set aside for the
purpose.
| After an inspection of the space al
lotted for drilling. Col. Winter felt sat

| Rifles could be accommodated at the
same time. but did not think 1t large
| enough for the entire force, which now
has a membership of nearly LOO, with
the prospect of passing the 1000 mark
this week. the Southern railway being
! scheduled to hold recruiting rally
soon 1t is estimated that a full COM

| ranks of its employees. The Redmen
| will likewise form a large company
this week. while enrollments from 9th
er sources are coming in constantly.
