MEAT CAUSE OF
LAME BACK AND
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take a glass of Salts to flush
Kidneys if your back
is aching.
Noted authority says Uric Acid
from meat irritateS
the Bladder.

Meat forms uric acid which eXcites
and overwOrks the kidneys in their eff
forts to filter it from the system. Reg
ular eaters of meat must flush the
kidneys occasionally. You must re-
lieve them like you relieve your bow
els; 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, 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, obiging 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, comb ed 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 effervescent lithia-water
drink which millions of men and
women take now and then, thus avoid
ing serious kidney and bladder dis
eases.-Advertiseme

HOT SCRAP, But
German Political SquabbIe Has
No Bearing on Peace.
London Predicts Another Spring
and Summer Campaign. 6
BY ARTHUR e, MANN.

London, Oct. 19.-Germany's pres
ent political crisis is due to purely
political squabble and has no signifi-
canoe from the standpoint of peace,
according to firm belief expressed in
best informed quarters today.
SociaHstic activity in Germany, It
was declared, is due principally to
the fact that the radicals have been
stung into energetic measures by at
lacks on them by the conservatives
and the pan-Germans have been
fighting hard for control after having
tried Michaelis as chancellor and
found him wanting.
British observers today pointed out
that repeated mention of Prince Won
Buelow and Foreign Secretary Kuehl-
mann as successors to Michaelis as
chancellor might be regarded as con-
Vincing proof that the kaiser does
not intend to form a peace govern
nent' The war lord knows that
men of the type of Buelow and Nurhl-
mann could never conduct negctla-
lions with England because England
would be unwilling TO deal with such
men, whose records have been SHOWN
shown. siiGU en-. ETAOI ETAOI Il
up and who sand as much discredited
with England as Won Bernstorff now
stands with the United States
The feeling here today is that
there is not the slightest chance for
peace before another spring and sum-
mer campaign-With Americas might
added.
However. England expects Ger
many to make her most desperate
drive for a German peace this winter.

New York, Oct. 19.-New impetus
for New York's drive in the liberty
loan campaign was discerned by lead
ers today following last nights mass
meeting at Carnegie hall
Baron Reading, lord chief justice of
England, was the principal speaker.

money with which to make payment
So Robb has gone to the supreme
court with a prayer for writ OF

to pay his account.
Board Is Helpless.
In the rush incident with the clos
ing hours of the state legislature, the
lawmakers did not make an effort to
kill the chiropractor bill. Instead
they merely adjourned without pro-
viding adequate methods OF flnanclnS

are much the same. A board without
funds Is such the same as no board
at all. The legislature left the chiro-
practic law on the statute books
But failing to re-ppropriate the fees
for examinations and failing also to
provide a direct appropriation, the
board must either stay at home or
work and provide its own groceries d.

adequate legal safeguards thrown
around his actions. Hence. Knapp has

Machinery Blocked.
The situation merely means a
blocking of the machinery of the state
chiropractic board. In substance, the
board is without means for conducting
its work unless some one meets the
emergency. The governor or some
other state official with healthy con-
tingent fund might come to the relief
of the board. But war demands by
the defense council and other
branches of service have hit contin-
gent funds a hard blow. Should the
supreme court deny the writ of man
damus, the board would be without
state aid until year from next jan
uary-maybe longer.
Members of the 1913 legislature en-
acted the chiropractic bill. Passage
and signing of the act gave Governor
Hodges much sorrow and little sound
and solid comfort. The present ad-
ministration was repeatedly asked to
lend its aid and assistance to a move
ment looking to the slaughter of the
law. OF course the administration
didn't respond to such requests The
desired results were seemingly accom-
plished, tho, when the 1egisla ture
went home without providing forPthe
future of the state board.

NThis may be rough winter for the

The state legislature went home with

board. AS a consequence the board
members may hold examinatt ons. But
they must provide their own meals,
