JAP IMPERIAL BANK
ISSUES NEW NOTES
(By Associated PreSS)

Toxic, December 6.-The issue of
30,JOO,OOO yen worth of so, 20, and 10
sen bank notes has been approved by
by imperial ordinance. This emergen-
cy measure, as explained by the minis
try of finance, is due to the unusual
development of business since the out
break of the war and the inability of
the government mint to keep pace with
the demand for smaller silver coins.
The term of the issue is fived at one
year from the conclusion of peace.
Concurrently with the issue the CIV
ernment will manufacture silver coins
equal in amount to the notes issued.
This amount is to be held at the Bank
OF Japan to provide for the exchange
and the gradual withdrawal Of the pa
per money.

Take Salts to
Flush Kidneys
Eat Less Meat if You Feel Back
achy or Have Bladder
TrOuhIn

Trouble.
Meat forms uric acid, which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their
efforts to filter it from the system.
Regular eaters of meat must flush
the kidneys occasionally. You must
relieve them like you relieve your
bowels removing all the acids, waste
and poison, else you feel dull mis-
cry 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 a table
spoonful in a glass Of water before
breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine and bladder
disorders disappear. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys
and stop bladder irritation. Jad Salts
is inexpensive, harmless and makes
delightful effervescent lithia water
drink which millions of men and wom-
en- take now and then, thus avoid
ing serious kidney and bladder dis
eases. 10

National Defence Board
Announces Radical
Change of Plans
No Official Status Now
Members of Committee Will
No Longer Serve Government
While Trading With 1t
fSiAr Coyresponfcnrcl


WASHINGTON. Oct g. The organi-
cation of war service committees rep
resenting the several industries fur
nishing war supplies to the governments
to take the place of the present SUD
ordinate advisory committees Of the
Council Of National Defence was an
nounced to-day by Director Walter ).
Clifford. The new war service com
mittees will have no official connection
with the Council OF Defence, but will
continue to serve the government as
consulting agents after the manner or
the existing committees.
This arrangement, It is pointed out,
will abolish the technical dual function
now exercised By several members Of
the Council Of National Defence or
eanization, which makes it possible for
them to represent the government and
their own concerns in the same trans
action.
1--WE have realized that there were
technical objections to the organlza-
Mon Of these subordinate committees
for some time" said Director Clifford
to-day. Section Of the food bill,
which expressly forbids government Of
fcials to participate lii the negotiation
of contracts in which they are inter
ested, really put into the statutes a
policy which we had been following
since the organization Of these com
mit.ees. In no case has one of these
committees ever reported or recon
mended directly to the purchasing Of
fcers OF the government. II has been
our policy 70 have the committee rec
concentrations pass first through the
hands Of a disintere sted committee of
the council. which has IN many cases
rejected the original recommenda-
| tons"
From the industries represented by
! the committees the Defence Council
will select experts 70 serve as advisers
TO the War Industries Board These
! men will be required TO sever their
/ business connections that there may De
no question of their eligibility TO act
for the government in dealing with
/ sellers.
Discussing the reported wholesale
designations of members of the ad
visory committees of the council, Di
rector Clifford said that only twenty.
two members of the organization hac
offered their designations out OF Z
membership of more than 300, and tha'
in no case had these been accepted
The resigned members have CONTINUED
TO serve the council, he stated. in al
advisory capacity.
The designations. Director GfforC
explained, we're in most instances
caused by the anxiety of the firms
which the men concerned represented
in private life regarding the interpre
tation to be placed on Section 3of the
food bill by the courts.
