DRUGS EXCITE YOUR
 KIDNEYS, USE SALTS
If your Back is aching or Bladder bothers, drink lots of water and eat less meat

When your kidneys hurt and your back feels sore, don't gc. scared and proceed to load your stomach with lot of drugs that excite the kidneys and irritate the entire urinary tract. Keep your kidneys clean like you keep your bowels clean, by flushing them with mild, harmless salts which removes the body's urinous waste and stimulates them to their nor nal activity. The function of the kid neys is to filter the blood. In 24 hours they strain from it 500 grains of acid and waste, so we can readily understand the vital importance of keeping the kid neys active.
 Drink lots of water-you can't drink too much; also get from any pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts; take a tablespoonful in | glass of water before breakfast each morning for a few days and your kidneys will act Ane. This famous salts is made from the acid cf grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for genera tions to clean and stimulate ciogged kid neys; also to neutralize the acids in, urine 30 it no longer is a source of irri- tation, thus ending bladder weakness.
 lad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in- jure; makes a delightful effervescent Whitewater drink which everyone should take now and then to keep their kid neys clean and active. Try this, alss keep up the water drinking, and ne doubt you will wonder what became of your kidney trouble and backache.

MEET CHALLENGE
SQUARELY URGES
CHAIRMAN HAYS

New York, October 27.-Will H.
Hays, chairman of the Republican ma
tional committee, made public here
tonight statement in which he re-
piled in behalf of his party to Presi-
dent Wilson's appeal to the nation
to return a Democratic congress. In
his statement Mr.. Hays said:
president Wilson has questioned
the motive and fidelity of your repre-
sentatives in congress. He has there
by impunged their loyalty and denied
their patriotism. His challenge is to
you who elected those representatives
You owe it to them, to the honor of
your great party and to your self-re-
spect to meet that challenge squarely.
not only as Republicans, but as Ameri-
cans. /, as your chairman, call upon
you to do it,
"Mr. Wilson accOrds the Republicans
no credit whatever for having sup
ported the war measures proposed by
his administration, although they have
done so with greater unanimity than
the members of his own party. De-
spite that fact, he accuses them of hav-
ing tried to usurp his proper func-
tions.

tried to take control of the power out

Congressional Committees Answer
President Wilson.

"Some time ago the president said,
Politics is adjourned Now in the
closing days of the campaign delayed
by the united efforts of all parties for
the Liberty loan, now when all public
meetings have been given up owing to
influenza epidemic, the president sends
out direct party appeal calling upon
his countrymen to vote for Democrats,
because they are Democrats, without
any reference as to whether such
Democrats have been or are in favor
of war measures and have a war rec
ord which deserves support.
"The voters Of Michigan, to take
single example, are called upon to
support Mr.. Henry Ford-notorious
for his advocacy of peace at any price,
for his contemptuous allusions to the
flag, for the exemption of his son
from military service-on the sole
ground that he will blindly support the
president. The president is quite
ready to admit that Republicans are
loyal enough to fight and die, as they
are doing by the thousands; loyal
enough to take up great loans and pay
enormous taxes; loyal enough to fur
nish important men at no salary on
some great war boards in Washing
ton. But they are not loyal enough
in the presidents opinion to be trusted
with any share in the government of
the country or legislation for it.
eff the Republican party controls
the house We can point out some Of
the things they will do; they will re-
place Mr.. Dent of Alabama at the
head of the military affairs commit
tee with Mr.. julius Kahn, to whom
the administration was obliged to turn
for assistance to take charge and
carry the first draft bill against Mr..
Dents opposition. They will put a
Republican at the head of the ways

CAN DEMOCRATS

BY DECEPTION? ?
Slogan of Don't Hamper President
Applies to Democratic Leaders

Washington, D. Gas the cam
paign for the control of the next
Congress gets into full swing it is
more apparents than ever that the
Democratic leaders are trying to de-
ceive the voters into believing that
a Democratic Congress should be
elected in order that President Will
son should not be hampered. This is
made evident both by the speaking
campaign and by the very extensive
advertising campaign directed by the
Democratic National Committee.
1t is equally evident, however, that
in trying to make this the campaign
issue, the Democrats are going to
run up against a stone wall, as by
such argument they are only con-
demning the leaders and the majority
of their own party in Congress, as
shown by the records.
