The -Four Penalties.

A millionaire kaiserist on the Pa.
cific coast recently pleaded guilty to
the charge of violating the espionage
law, and was fined $4,000.
To a millionaire who has any
nerve or devotion to his cause, such
penalty has about as much deter
rent effect as fine of 10 cents would
have on prosperous mechanic. We
must go farther if we expect to put
an end to enemy activities in this
country. We must provide four pen
alties for every proved disloyalist:
Forfeit his citizenship
Confscate tris property-to the
last copper.
Intern him for the duration of the
war.
Deport him when the war is over.
Only by such program can the
kaiser's campaign in America be
crushed. That campaign is going on
today with great activity. 1t will be
intensified whenever the signal comes
from Berlin to start another peace
drive. 1t. will persist thruout till the
later stages of the war, and it will
plague and confuse our councils after
the war-unless we deal with it now
No quarter for imported kaiserism
or home bred disloyalty. Give us a
law embodying the four penalties
named above and the kaiser's drive
in America will collapse in a month.

 SALTSFORK KIDNEYS
TAKE A GLASS OF SALTS BEFORE BREAKFAST IF YOUR BACK
 HURTS OR BLADDER BoTHERS YOU.

The American men and women must guard constantly against Kidney trou- ble because we eat too much and all our food is rich. Our blood is filled with uric acid which the kidneys strive to filter out, they weaken from over work, become sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and the result is kidney trouble, bladder weakness and gen. eral decline in health.
 When your kidneys feel like Jumps of lead; your back hurts or the urine is cloudy full of sediment or you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night; if you suffer with sick headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid stomach, or you have rheumatism when the weather is bad, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts: take a tablespoonful in a glass of water 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, combined with iithia, and has been
 used for generations to flush and stirn-
