Whether PRESIDENT Wilson takes
the attitude OF trying TO safeguard the
lives of all neutrais or whether he
insists on the safety Of Americans
only, I am not certain. but believe
that he demands the right Of Ameri-

case he could not do otherwise than
call Germany to account for any vio-

PrCfe scr Scott tuid of the diplomat

changed and it is hard to predict what
will follow. He SAID that all the
world realizes the folly CT war, and
all nations should so to greater

TAKE SALTS TO
FLUSH kidneys
Eat Less Meat if You Feel
Backachy or P.adder Trou-
bIeS You; SafIS is Fine
for Kidneys

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 re-
lieye them like you relieve your
bowels; removing all the acids, waste
and poison, else you feel a dull misery
in the kidney region, sharp pains In
the back or sick headache, dizzir ess.
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 table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for few days and your
kidneys wiz 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 a
delightful efferyescent Whitewater
drink which millions of men and
women take now and then, thus avoid
ing serious kidney and bladder dis
eases.-Adv.

dress pointed out that one-third OF
the insurance of Michigan was car
ried in mutual companies, and that
there were about 100000 policy hold
crs; that the mutual companies car
rying one-third of the business were
receiving in assessments each year
about 81 100000; that the stock com
panies carrying two-thirds are receiv-
ing around s15,0O0,0OO.
He advised all mutual companies TO
put themselves in order and conduct
their business on a sound financial
basis. In fact, many mutual COM
panies are following the advance AS

new companies provide in their char
ter for an asse ssment TO keep a sur
plus on hand. In this way when the

To meet at once its claims.
