MEAT INJURIOUS
TO THE KIDNEYS
Take a Tablespoonful of Salts il
Back Hurts or Blad-
der BOthers.

We are nation of meat eaters and
cur blood is filled with uric acid, says
la well-known authority, who warns
kidney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood from this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork; they
Iget sluggish; the eliminative tissues
Iclog and thus the waste is retained
lin the blood to poison the entire sys-
ITEM.
When your kidneys ache and feel like
jumps of lead, and you have stinging
pains in the back or the urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, or the blad-
der is irritable, obliging you to seek
relief during the night; when you
have severe headaches, nervous and
dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid stom-
ach or rheumatism in bad weather,
get from your pharmacist about four
ounces of Jad Salts; take a table
spoonful in glass of water before
breakfast each morning and in few
days your kidneys will act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for gen
erations to flush and stimulate
clogged kidneys, to neutralize the
acids in urine so it is no longer
source of irritation, thus ending uri-
nary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes delightful efferves-
cent lithia- water drink and nobody
can make mistake by taking a lit
tie occasionally to keep the kidneys
clean and active.

Big PETITION
FOR RAILWAY.
BY VIRGINIANS
King Georgeand Westmore-
land Counties Will Plead
for Newport News Lines.

Plans for the preparation Of a mon
ster petition are being made by lo.oOO
residents Of King George and West
moreland counties. Va. who have been
isolated from the Washington market
by the cessation Of river traffic on the
Virginia side Of the Lower Potomac.
Steamers Wakefield and Majestic.
which handled the bulk of the traffic
last year. have been brought into the
government service, and citizens OF
these counties are facing a situation
OF having their crops rot in the ground
because OF no transportation facilities.
The petition will back up the imme-
diate construction of the proposed
Newport News Short Line Railway,
which has already secured right OF
way to cut through the hearts Of these
counties. At present the means OF
communication open is through Fred
ericksburg. which is located miles
away from the banks of the river
which is the most fertile region in the
two counties.
Not only is the outlet to Wash
ington closed to these residents
through the stoppage of river steam
ers. but persons living in that sec
ton find they cannot import enough
foodstuffs to avert a local shortage
of food.
James A. Arnold told. a few days
ago, that on his farm of several hum
dred acres at Potomac View. scores
of his hogs which should have been
salted into pork for use Of the army
were still alive. for want of salt
to pickle them. The last trip Of the
winter came on December is. Since
then, except for a visit a week ago
last Sunday, the region has been
entirely cut OFF from its market.
Residents of the neighborhood
made no protest during the winter
on account of the frozen river. and
faced hardships' silently. When
spring opened the Potomac. and they
found that no communicatory lane
would be opened on account of the
Communicating of the vessels, steps
to remedy the situation were taken.

In celebration of its ffty-nrst an

Department Of the Potomac, @. A. R..
last night gave an elaborate enter
tainment in G. A. r. Hall for which
the following program had been ar
ranged and was carried out with the
highest degre of success:
Assembly to the colors. Boy
Scout trumpeters; presentation of
the colors, w. T. Kelley. officer
Of the day. invocation, Chaplain
Godfrey; "Star SpangIed Banner"
Z. A. Lang, audience joining in

State of Washington; duet, Mrs.
Samuel Burleigh Milton and Mrs.
Nora Sherwood; What Are We
Fighting For" address by w. +
Norris; Mr.. and Mrs. Clark, whist
Iers and imitators; campfire talks;
refreshments.
The remarks of Representative
Dill, of Washington, chairman of
the Congressional committee which
returned recently from a tour of
the battle front, was listened to
with the utmost attention, and 1t
is safe to say every old soldier
present wished himself young
enough to take a hand in the fray
and help give the Kaiser all that
is coming to him.
From what he saw during a
minute study Of conditions exist
ing on the battle line, Represent
ative Dill said he was quite posi-
tive the Germans could never break
through in their present drive.
John McElroy, commander of the
post. reviewed its history since the
date of organization. all of which
was extremely interesting to the
largest audience that has attended
the posts functions in many days.
Other features were the whistling
and limitations of Mr.. and MRS.
Clark, together with the vocal and
instrumental musical entertain
ment, the entire affair being voted
one of the most enjoyable ever
given by the post.

PLAN
IS OPPOSED BY
CHAIRMANDENT
Program for Drawing Class
lopposed in Senate
Committee.

Plans for speedy draft Hesitation
have been thrown into CONFUSION
through a reopenfng Of controversy
between Provost Marshal General
Crowder and members of the House
Military Committee over Its terms.
Chairman Dent, 1t was learned last
night, is opposed to the Crowder pro-
gram, and Representative Kahn, OF
California, ranking Republican, may
again be forced to take charge Of the
legislation, as he did of the original
draft law, which Dent fought.
All efforts to reach a compromise
between the Crowder and Congress
sional forces have failed. despite the
fact that President Wilson and the
Acting Secretary Of War have at
tempted mediation.
Crowder insists that the quotas for
the next draft shall be based on the
number of men in Glass l in each
district, arguing thus that communi-
ties with many men working in war
industries will not have these taken
away for military service. A strong
minority of the House committee,
with the tacit approval Of Chairman
Dent, demands that the quotas shall
be on the basis OF the total number
or TeBlStTantS OF all Classes III edcn
district. They charge that otherwise
the favoritism of local boards per-
mits unfairness.
The controversy, in the opinion Of
House leaders, will stall of all draft
legislation for three weeks or a
month.
Chairman Dent said last night that
he had asked the rules committee to
give a preferred place on the calendar
to this measure. This request was
concurred in by the minority MEM
bers of the committee on condition
that they be given a full opportunity
to carry their fight to the floor.
-Crowder's recent statements which
members take as intended to appeal
over their heads to the public on the
terms of the coming legislation have
aroused considerable feeling also.
Representative Burnett, of Alabama,
author of the so-called ''alien slack
er" bill predicted yesterday that the
Senate will act so slowly on the pro-
posed treaties with Canada and Great
Britain that the men affected by it
will not be caught in the next call.
The treaties, with Burnett's bill, are
pending in Senate committee.
