TOWNLEY LEAGUE
: BACKS OUT FROM
MESS IN M'LEAN
Upon Orders From st. Paul,
Managers Withdraw Garri-
son County Ticket

Washburn, N. D., May 1.-The Non.
partisan league, probably due to pres
sure from headquarters, has decided
to keep out of local politics, so far
as Mclean county is concerned. This
means, according to reports from
Garrison, where meeting was held
last week, that the entire county tick.
ct, recently promulgated In the name
OF the league, will be withdrawn.
When O number of Nonpartisans
gathered at Garrison few weeks ago
and drew up county ticket there was
something of an upheaval In the Nc
Lean county political situation. There
were some features to the action also
which spelled trouble for the league.
1t was claimed that the gathering was
dominated by the socialistic element
Of the league and that the leading and
greater part Of the organization had
no hanl in the proceedings. Evidently,
this seems correct by the later action
Of the league proper in disavowing an
intention to participate in the county
fight.
The Nonpartisans who drew up the
hybrid ticket evidently overlooked q.
few things. They sought to bring some
Of the county political leaders TO
their side by giving them endorsements
but they neglected to take into ac-
count some Of the strongest men po.
liticaIly in the county SO that beside
keeping its word not to interfere in
county politics. the league is consi1
cred to be doing the wise thing by
avoiding unending complications.

dispatches dated The Hague and

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
efforts to filter it from the system
Regular eaters of meat must flush
the kidneys occasionally. You must
relieve them like you relieve your
bowels; removing all the acids. waste
and poison, else you feel a dull mis-
cry in the kidney region, sharp pains
in the back or sick headache, dizzi-
ness, 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, obliging
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 blad-
der disorders disappear. This ia
nous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with 1ithia, 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 ef
fervescent lithia-water drink which
millions of men and women take
now and then, thus avoiding serious
kidney and bladder diseases.-Adv.
