Eating meat regularly eventually

The moment your back hurts or
kidneys aren't acting right, or if blad-

ounces of Jad Salts from any good
pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in
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 lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush
clogged kidneys and stimulate them
to normal activity: also to neutralize
the acids in the urine so it no longer
irritates, thus ending bladder disor-

Hargis-Humphreys Battle Now
Waits for ReinfOrcements.
BOLIVAR HAS NUT TO CRACK
Recorder for Organization NOW
Wants To Resign.
Five Bosses - Hargis, Hum
phreys, House, Norton, Wilson,.

Calm reisned on all fronts of the
Toneka home guard struggle today
and only the occasional sputter OF
shell that failed to explode Tuesday
smoked up the atmosphere. Whether
the calm was only the usual quietress
that precedes a big thrust or whether
the worst of the scrap is really over
are matters that a prayerful public,
passionate1y DESTROYS OF peace, must
wait for time alone to determine.
All appearances indicate that Cap
tain Hargis, leader of Company a, Will
accept whatever challenge Captain
HamIin and Commander Humphreys
hurl at him and that he will stick to
his post and not give up his sword I'M
til his las man is gone 1t was re-
ported this morning that he was out
in full reg3lia at the regular weekly
drill Tuesday night and that he had
much larger turnout than on any
night for several weeks. One report
stated that between thirty-five and
forty men answered to roll call, and
all present were accounted Tor.
Make Competition Keen.
When this report was received at
other headquarters a statement was
given out to the effect that "all is Well
on both sides of the kaw," and that
the two companies undoubtedly will
continue in existence and that the ri
valry between them to excel in num-
bers and in efficiency will give Topeka
the best home guard army in the state.
Col. Jonathan D. Norton, head of
the home guard organization of Kan
sas, gave out statement from his
headquarters today in which. he said
he heartily approves the organization
of new company and that he sees no
reason why two companies cannot be
maintained here. However, Colonel
Norton also says that no papers have
been issued legalizing the new COM
pany and he is of the opinion that
Commander Humphreys is not yet
really a commander, some steps not
yet having been taken to cloak him
with the authority to officiate as such.
However, Colonel Norton says he be-
lieves these steps will eventually be
taken.
Il see no objection to the organiza-
ton of a new company" Colonel Nor
ton said. IF the men who are trying
to form a guard organization cannot
get along together, I believe it is best
for them to separate"
No Rival Recruiting Station.
One new development today was the
announcement of H. A. Goodrich, of
the Waggoner & Goodrich drug store
that his place of business will not be
used a recruiting station for the
new Hamlin company. Hargis can
use his own drug store to recruit for
his company if he wants to do so, but

British LabOrites Appeal to
Slav and TeutOn Alike.
Would Apply Home Rule to Ire
land, India and Africa.
SHOWS UP GERMAN PEACE
Reveals Kaiser Alone. Bases
Aim on Annexation.
Labor Party Has Major Power
in England Now.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE British
labor party's peace appeal to Russia
and Germany was regarded in many
quarters today as one of the most COM
polling and significant moves under
taken in the political offensive against
Teuton militarism.
1t was considered telling stroke
by the most vital element now in any
pOpulation-the labor group.
Sweeping aside the Russian thought
that Britain has tended to abandon
her, the appeal was regarded as show
ing a real fraternity between the la
Dor of Britain and of Russia and of
Germany.
1t served, as experts saw it, to point
out further the duplicity and treach-
cry of the German Brest-Litovsk ne
gotiators while it held out the hope
to Germany that she would regain her
African colonies.
Include India and Ireland.
Manifestly born of war-weariness,
the appeal, however, was regarded as
showing a firm and loyal determine
ton on the part of labor to see IL
thru" even to the point of national
exhaustion. Further it cast on Ger
many the odium of further contln-
uance of the war.
Officials deemed it most Slgnlfl-
cant that the labor party declared for
self DETERMINATION for India and Ire
land, thereby shutting out any pos
sibIe German or Russian answer that
England was preaching what she did
not practice.
British labor is at the root of re-
cent war aims statements.
That there has been a growing dis
content in labor quarters is known
And largely in response to the NUT
terings of that group, Lloyd George.
followed by President Wilson, stated
war aims clearly, eliminating for all
time any claim that the allies are
imperialistic
Compared With German Greed.
Between the British appeal and the
Germans brusque refusal to quit the
Baltic provinces, the Russians, it is
felt here, will eventually tire of bar
tering with the enemy.
Todays German report of a settle
ment of Germanys internal political
difficulties was regarded as compro-
mise Hertling himself was a COM
promise choice and while he is given
control of policy in the east, it was
deemed significant that the militarists
were unable to make Hindenburg or
some other militarist complete con-
troller of policy instead of dictator as
to the west only. However, some
authorities cautioned that Hertling s
power in the east may have been
granted only as a sop to liberal opin-
ion opposed to the anneXationist
group.

Also after using all the butter they
wanted in their own homes they have
sold butter and butter fat to the
amount of nearly $4,000.

Stop Itching Eczema

Never mind how often you have tried
and failed, you can stop burning, itching
eczema quickly by applying a little zemo
furnished by any druggist for Csc. Extra

moment zemo is applied. In short time
usually every trace of eczema, letter,
pimples, rash, blackheads and similar
skin diseases will be removed.
For clearing the skin and making it
vigorously healthy, always use zemo, the
penetrating, antiseptic liquid. It is not
greasy salve and it does not stain. When
others fail it is the one dependable treat
ment for skin troubles of all kinds.
