EAT LESS MEAT
 IF BACK HURTS Take a glass of Salts to flush Kidneys if bladder bothers you-Drink lots of
 water.

Eating meat regularly eventually produces kidney trouble in some form or another, says a well-known author ity. because the uric acid in meat ex- cites the kidneys, they become over worked; get sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of distress, particularly backache and misery in the kidney region; rheumatic twinges, severe headaches, acid stomach, constipation. torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and urinary irritation.
 The moment your back hurts or kid neys aren't acting right. or if bladder bothers you, get about four ounces of lad Salts from any good pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a 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 clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity; also to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder disorders.
 lad Salts cannot injure anyone; makes a delightful effervescent lithia water drink which millions of men and women take now and them to keep the kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus avoiding serious kidney disease.

 CHICAGO, Jan. 6.-Henry TOrborg died here today leaving a fortune of s5O0.O0O, most of it accumulated dur ing the last forty years while con- ductor on a street car in the Blue Island avenue line. He was 73 years old. and died while at work.
 Between the ages of fourteen and nineteen Torborg saved $500. In the next ten years, always saving his money, he worked on sugar planta- tions and wharfs along the Gulf of Mexico. Then he came to hicago and invested his savings in real estate. He got a job with the street car com pany and continued to save and to invest in outlying property.
 The growth of the city to popu- lation of 2,5O0.0O0 then tells the story of the growth of his fortune, but few people of the millions who have hand ed their nickels over to him dreamed that the methodical old man had all this wealth. Two sons inherit the fortune.

 NEW YORK. Jan. G.-EXcept for its relatively strong undertone. tOday's dull and narrow market presented not a feature of special interest Recov- cries of l to 3 points from yesterdays lowest levels. some of which were later forfeited, resulted almost wholly from the closing of traders contracts.

 Grain Markets
 CHICAGO, Jan. 6-Emperor Will liam's message to his troops that the war would continue acted as one of many elements today that forced a sharp advance in the price of wheat. After an extreme rise of 5A the mar ket reacted but closed strong, to AS net higher, with May at 1.S47s to 1858 and July l511s to 151ss. Other staples too, scored substantial gains-corn IS to IS, oats to IS, and provisions F to 32c.
 From the beginning the market displayed notable strength. Leaders in yesterdays selling became con spicuous buyers and the scarcity of offerings was so pronounced that the advance in values met no material op- position until in the last hour profit taking and weekend evening up of trades caused a sag.
 Enthusiasm of wheat buyers rested to a considerable extent upon the ad- vices that the number of vessels at Gulf of Mexico ports was now am- pie. Much attention also was given to statement that domestic stocks out side of the commercial visible SUD- ply were rapidly disappearing and that decrease was likely in the visi- ble supply total on Monday.
 Corn ascended to S1 bushel, May delivery. the highest price since 1892 and with that exception the topmast level in forty years.
 Oats shared the strength of other cereals. Liberal purchasing for the seaboard helped to lift the market.
 Advancing quotations on hogs and grain caused free buying of provisions. Notice was taken also of the fact that western receipts of hogs for the week totaled only 6O7,000 as against 97S,000 a year ago.

NEGROES SEE THE
HAND Of PROVIDENCE
EXODUS TO NORTH CAUSED BY
WEEvIL AND DESIRE FOR
SOCIAL FREEDOM.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. - Three
thousand negroes celebrated enamel
patton day here, gathering at the
state nominal school auditorium, after
a street parade. The exodus of the
negro from the South was the chief
topic of discussion and drew forth
resolutions which in part were as
follows:
We recognize the unprecedented
condition which confronts us and be-
lieve that the hand of Providence is
pointing the negro to a new sphere
Of economical, social and political ac-
tivity, and while we love our native
soil and the scenes of our childhood
many things have conspired to cause
our people to join others who have
gone because their friends and rela-
tives had left, but by far the larger
number have gone obedient to the
lash of hunger and necessity. Our
wives and children are crying for
bread. Those who once answered the
cry, because of havoc wrought by
the boil weevil and by floods, are no
longer able to aid us, so when bread
is offered the starving negro by the
labor agent, it is but natural that he
should accept that bread.
Better schools are offered our
children; and larger percentage of
personal liberty is offered through
the more liberal franchise existing in
those sections to which our people go.
Patrick Henry's craving for liberty
finds a hearty response in the breast
of the negro. We want more rights
accorded US as human beings and
better protection for our wives and
children"
