Washington, Jan. S.-Mrs. Wilson
today is the ultimate authority on
all invitations to White House social
functions. For the first time in years,
management of these events has been
transferred from the executive offices
to the mansion proper AS a result,
the number of invited guests to the
state events has fallen off between
fifty and sixty per cent.
incidentally the new regime has
brought joy and peace to the minds
OF assistant secretaries in the business
wing of the White House. In the past,
the functions given by the president
have been attended about equally by
those on the regular White House
lists and by those who request special
invitations. Each reception is preced-
ed by letters and phone calls from
senators, congressman and others ap-
pealing in behalf Of themselves or
Others. for precious cards Of admis-
sion
Now its all changed. The assistants
merely Iefer those asking invitations,
directly to Mrs. Wilson or her secre-
tary, Miss Edith Benham Hence the
big reduction in guests, noted for the
frs time at the judicial reception.

our army surgeons are careful to pick out
the men with good lung expansion, keen
eyes and good kidneys. In every care
fnl examination for life insurance the
water is tested to be sure there is no
kidney or bladder disease, because q
large percentage of our people suffer
from these troubles.
When the kidneys are weak or dis
eased, these natural filters do not cleanse
the blood sufficiently, and the poisons
are carried to all parts of the body.
There follow depression, aches and
pains, heaviness, drowsiness, irritable
ity, headaches, chilliness and rheuma-
tism. In some people there are sharp
pains in the back and loins, distressing
bladder disorders and sometimes obsti-
nate dropsy. The uric acid sometimes
forms into gravel or kidney stones.
When the uric acid affects the tissues,
muscles and joints, it causes lnmbago,
rheumatism, govt or sciatica. This is
