MEAT CAUSE Of
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take a Glass of Salt. if Your Back
Hurts, or Bladder Bothers.
Meat Forms Uric Acid.

If you must have your meat every
day, eat it. but flush your kidneys with
salts occasionally. says a noted author
ity, who tells us that meat forms uric
acid. which almost paralyzes the kid
neys in their efforts to expel it from
the blood. They become sluggish and
weaken; then you suffer with a 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 gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the body's urinous waste, get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any pharma-
cy here; take a tablespoonful in a glass
of water before breakfast for a few
days, and your kidneys will then act
Sne. 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 stim-
ulate sluggish kidneys, also TO neutral

ger irritate, thus ending bladder weak
ness.

LODGES ASSAILANT WAS
FORMERLY AN ATHLETE

Alexander Bannwart, better known as
"Al Winn" in the field of semi-profes-
sional athletics appears to be a patriot
without. endorsers.
Bannwart gained some notoriety when
he aimed straight right-arm Jolt which
landed on the face of the senior Senator
from Massachusetts,. Henry Cabot Lodge,
ranking minority member of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee.
The 67-year-old Statesman from Mas
sachusetts showed he was no mollycoddle
by returning the compliment and when
the melee ended. Bannwart was in the
Sixth precinct police station considerably
the worse for wear.
Senator Lodge refused to press the
charge Of assault against his pacific op-
ponent in Police Court yesterday after
the Boston baseball promoter had
apologized and expressed the belief that
all true Americans should stand behind
the President
Bannwart is well known in Boston as
the promoter of the defunct Colonial
Baseball League. His companion among
the pacIfsts who witnessed the melee at
the Capitol was the Rev. Paul Harris
Drake. we'll known as a divine with pro
nounced socialistic tendencies, who has
been more or less prominent in the public
eye in Massachusetts, for several years.

SANATORIUM LICENSE
DECLARED FORFEITED

Whether or not the Commissioners had
the power to revoke the license Of the
Chevy Chase Sanatorium was the Ques-
tion Of law argued in the Court Of Ap-
peals yesterday. The license of the sana-
torium was issued under regulations de-
signed to carry out the provisions of an
act of Congress relating to the licensing
of sanatoriums and hospitals and from
this point arose the question OF the law
fulness of the act OF the Commissioners
through the courts.
1t is maintained, however, that the
sanatorium was located in the vicinity of
Chevy Chase without the consent of the
citizens in that locality. Two years ago
the citizens petitioned the Commissioners
to revoke the license OF the sanatorium,
alleging that the establishment was
public nuisance. This request was support
ed by the different citizens associations
The Commissioners, after due consider
alton, ruled that the sanatorium forfeited
its right to do business by the manner in
which 1t was being conducted
The case has been carried by the courts
for the last two years and a decision
finally disposing of the case is looked for
in a few days.

The resolutions adopted last night fol-

whereas during the last two years
cur country and our citizens have suf-
tered increasing humiliation and in
Juries without redress from the govern
ment and officials OF Germany in viola
tion Of the tenets Of international law,
the ordinary rules Of humanity, the
comfy OF nations and the rights Of our

Whereas it is a primary and exclusive
duty or nation to protect its citizens
and their lives and property afioat and

Therefore, be It resolved that we call
upon the Senators and Representatives
in Congress assembled to take such
action as will insure freedom to our
citizens to go and come with safety upon
tne hgh seas and to carry on their law
full commerce.
BE 1t also resolved that to further
such objects and to protect our territory
we ask that effective measures be taken

manner that will be equal and Just to all.
BE 1t further resolved that we approve
and endorse the message yesterday sub

PACFISTS DWHVDLE AS
OPPOSITION INCREASES
Quit Ship in Face of Tidal Wave of
Patriotism.

Pacifsts-whose activities found little
support at the Capltol-and whose organ
nation is threatened with disintegration
because Of public opposition, continued
their work upon members of Congress
yesterday.
Felix Mahoney. Miss Mary Dierkes, of
Boston; J. Eads Howe, millionaire
hobo" and others of the movers for
peace at any price" visited members Of
Congress but found little encouragement
A resolution discussed among the peace
proponents Is that providing for q direct
appeal to the people of Germany to in
tercede with the high officials of the i'm
perial government to recede from its plan
Of unrestricted sea warfare.
To Appeal Directly.
This appeal, according to one Of the
peace advocates, would be addressed by
President Wilson directly to the German
people, but how 1t would be conveyed the
pacihsts are not prepared to say.
The "show-down" staged yesterday at
the Capitol has noticeably reduced the
ranks OF the pacihsts- The number who
are lingering In the city with the hope Of
influencing members of Congress at the
eleventh hour are the real out-and-out
pacinsts. The departing hosts, who fore
saw the pacihst craft fast sinking into
despair, "Quit while the quitting was
good"
The meeting yesterday at Convention
Hall, under the auspices of the Emer-
gency Peace Federation, was q mild one
and the precautions taken by the authori-
ties on Monday night were unnecessary.
A little furry was created when Frank
stephens, Of Arden, Del, requested per-
mission OF Louis Lochner. presiding, to
read a statement. He read a letter which
attempted to place the whole blame for
war and the results of war upon the
shoulders of the President.
Await Action of Congress.
Or. David Starr Jordon and his lieuten-
ants will remain in the city for the re-
matnder of the week to bring the fruit
less campaign for peace to a close.
Just what their future moves will be de-
pends on the action taken by Congress on
the President message. 1t Is certain, how
ever. that the pacifist element will make
a very loud protest against the compul-
sorry military service bill and hamper
enlistments in the army and navy. Yet
they announce that IL Congress declares
that a state of war exists. they will do
nothing to hamper the government in the
business of preparation.
Even the appearance of numerous "yeI-
low streaks'' of paint on the windows of
their headquarters on Pennsylvania ave-
nue.. between Twelfth and Thirteenth
streets. did not dampen the ardor of the
rear guard paciflsts This decorative ef-
feet was placed on the windows by some
crazy militarist'' who chose that way of
expressing his contempt for the organiza-
ton
Just who did it the police do not know,
but one of the paci1sts said that "a
drunken Englishman, accompanied by
half dozen soldiers in uniform, did the
work"
Capt. Flather responded from No. 1
precinct in answer to a hurry call from
the establishment, but when he arrived
he saw no one he could arrest He was
busy with his men clearing the sidewalk
Of pedestrians who stoppd and jeered the
pacifists.

eral counsel for the Amalgamated AS

way Employees. and Edward McMor-
row. international executive.

resolution will be speedily passed,
which would be much in favor of the
striking carmen, it Is stated.
- Officials of the Garments union last
night declared that a Conversational
investigation of the controversy be-
tween them and the Washington
Railway and Electric Company would
reveal that the strikers are in the
right.
Clauses of the resolution speak of
great public Inconvenience and loss
and 1T Is in the interest of public
safety and welfare that the causes of
the existing differences should be as
certained and means De devised II
possible, whereby the same NAV be
justly accommodated" The resolution
calls for a committee of five Senators
and five Representatives. 1t was re-
ferred to the District Committee.
Practically all of the activities of
the strikers were centered on Congress
yesterday, and they expressed the be-
lief that before the end of the week
some definite steps looking to a set
tlement of the strike would be taken
at the Capitol.

various labor organizations of the
Central Labor Union was held last
night to consider striking conditions
and devise plans for further assistane .
to the strikers.
Officials of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company last night re-
peated their assertions that the strike
is a closed incident, SO far as they
are concerned. and said again that
new men are being added daily to
those already being trained for perma-
nent positions as motormen and con-
ductors.
