IF KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache Is Sign You Have
Been Eating Too Much
/ Neot

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat. says well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter 1t from the blood and they
become sort of parafyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them, like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache. sick headache. dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated.
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloe@y, full of sediment. channels Of
ten get sore. water sca1ds and you are
Obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult a good, reliable ply
stefan at once or get from your phar-
macist about four ounces OF Jad Salts;
take tablespoonful in a glass of wa
ter 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, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutraliye
acids in the urine so IL no longer ir-
ritates, thus ending bladder weakness

meat eaters, 1t is inexpensive, cannot

vescent lithia- water drink--Adv

The time has passed when any

plays of beautiful fireworks.
In these critical times when ev-

expression of patriotism, but is
an actual hindrance to our boys

The attendant waste of life and
valuable property in the past
should also be taken into ac-
count. In the last fourteen years
1892 people have been killed and

the use of fire works and other
high explosives on the Fourth of
July.
There are plenty of ways in
which to express patriotism with

lives of our children.

Sour SfOmach

This is a mild form of indiges-
ton. 1t is usually brought on by
eating too rapidly. or too much,
or of food not suited to your
digestive organs. If you will eat
slowly, masticate your food thor
oughly, eat but little meat and
none at all for supper, you will
more than likely avoid the sour
stomach without taking any
medicine whatever. When you
have sour stomach take one of
Chamberlain's Tablets to aid
digestion.

Willing to Negotiate

HE central powers show an eagerness to
parley for peace that cannot be mistaken
Their simultaneous answer to the proposals
OF the Pope confirm the conviction long felt
outside that these governments are ready to
lay down their arms, But they still con-
ceive of themselves as conquerors and there
fore, expect to fix victor's terms.
This means that peace is still far off, It
means that the enemies of Germany and
Austria will fight on. 1t means that the
militarism which forced most of the civil
lied world into the war must meet decisive
defeat and that the peoples who support that
miitarism must suffer severer punishment
If they insist upon adhering to the regimes
which have led or driven them into war
OF conquest, war OF unspeakable brutality,
q war Of utter hopelessness. The Pope will
no doubt communicate further peace sug-
gestions to the allies on the basis of Ger
many's and Austria's response to his friendly
Intervention. But II these suggestions are
predicated upon peace with Hohenzolern-
ISM they will again fail. President Wilson,
speaking, not only for America, but for Eng
land and France as we'll, has served notice
upon the German people that we cannot deal
with the government of Germany. We can
not trust that government to keep inviolate
any pledge which it may give. We dare not
assume that any peace which it may now
be willing to make will endure. The Ger
man people want peace. They may even be
clamoring for 1t. The people of AUSTRIA
facing another winter of misery and prva-
ton, are crying aloud for a cessation of
hostilities. The Germans know, if the Aus
TRANS do not. how they can bring the war
to an end They have been told in plain
language that they must set up govern
ment in their empire which the world can
treat with Whether this means that the
Kaiser must be dethroned or whether it
means that the German people must assume
commanding voice in their affairs, we do
not know. But we do know, and they know,
that the present government of Germany is
an international outlaw, and must be dealt
