MEAT EATERS
 HAVE SLOW KIDNEYS
Eat less meat if you feel Rackaehy or have bladder trouble-Take
 glass of Salts.

No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make mistake by flush ing the kidneys occasionally, l;ays wen-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which excites the kidneys, they become over-worked from the strain, get sluggish and fail to filter the waste and poisons from the blood then we get sick. Nearly all rheu- matism, headaches, liver trouble, nerv- ousness. dizziness, -sleeplessness and urinary disorders come from sluggish kidneys.
 The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or at tended by sensation of scalding, stop eating meat and get about four ounces of lad Salts from any pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of, water before breakfast and in a few days your kidneys will act fine. This fam ous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, conbiHed with lithia, and has been used for genera tions to flush and stimulate the kid neys, also to neutralize the acids in urine So it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder weakness.
 lad Salts is inexpensive and cannot injure: makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which everyone should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active and the blood pure. thereby avoiding serious kidney complications.

HOOVER SENDS cA5LEGRAM

London, April 3. S.25 p. m.--Herbert c. Hoover. chairman of the American Commission for Relief in Belgium, to- day sent the following cableSram to
 "The members of the American Commission for Relief in Belgium ask me to transmit to you an expression of united devotion and of our admi- ration for the courage and wisdom of your leadership. We wish to tell you there Is no word in your historic statement to congress that does not find a response in all our hearts.
 For two and a half years we have been obliged to remain silent witnesses of the character of the forces domi- mating this war, but we are now at liberty to say that. although we break with great regret our association with many German individuals who have given sympathetic support to our work. yet your messafe enunciates our conviction, born of our intimate ex- perience and contact. that there Is no hope for democracy or liberalism, and consequently for the real peace and safety of our country unless the sys- tenn which brought the world into this unfathomabie misery can be stamped out once for all"

NOTES BETWEEN GERMAN
 AND RUSSIAN SOCIALISTS
Danish Official Patronage Was Net
 Given to the Movement.

Copenhagen, via London. April B. The connection of M. Stauning, min ister without portfolio. socialist, with the recent communications between the German and Russian socialists concerning peace does not signify that Danish official patronage was given the movement. M. Staun:nE, in for warding the Russian socialists the messages of the German socialists. acted not as a member of the govern ment, but as international socialist and a friend of peace, he having dis played, like majority of the Danfssn socialists, a keen desire to see af- ter the Russian revolution the social ist parties of the two countries meet O ma common ground for peace and liberal reform. .
 Several non-s socialist organs criti- cized him sharply for having anything to do, in his position as Danish minister, with interchanges between belligerents.
 Copenhagen has been the scene or more or less informal attempts to ne- gotiate between the Russian and Ger man socialists since the revolution, but without tangible results.
