SALTS IF BACKACnY
AND kidneys HURT
Drink Lots Of Water and Stop Eating
Meat For While If Your
Bladder Troubles You.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says we'll known
authority. Meat forms uric acid, which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood, and they
become sort of paralyzed and loggy
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog, you must relieve them, like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
bodys urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated
and When the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy,
full Of sediment, channels often get
sore, water scalds and you are obliged
to seek relief two or three times during
the night.
Either consult good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take 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
lithia, and has been used for genera
lions to clean and stimulate sluggish
kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the
urine, so it no longer irritates, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is life saver for regular
meat caters 1t is inexpensive, can not
.iniure, and makes delightful, effer-
yescent lithia- water drink.

CEDAR FALLS WINS TITLE.
Defeats Marion, % to %, Winning
Basketball Championship.

Cedar Falls, March 5.-Somebody
pulled a borer Saturday evening In
scoring an important basketball game
which forced Cedar Falls to play an
extra five minutes in order to gain an
"official decision over Marion high by
score of "A to 90. At the end of the
second half the newspapermen had
the score standing at p to 10, but the
official scorers had the tally at tie,
10 apiece. In the extra period Cedar
Falls scored five points to the four
which the invading quintet registered.
The victory gives the local team the
championship of the Cedar Valley lea
que, and the flag goes to the best five.
When it came right down to basketball
playing, Coach Shaw's men outclassed
the visiting team by wide margin.
but Marion kept pulling those long
shots and some of them of course went
thru the netting. The Linn county team
displayed much better team work here
Saturday evening than it did against
West Waterloo on Friday night, but
it continued to depend on wild shots
for the majority of it's points.

Several times tried to quit by will

WORKINGS OF ORGANIZATION
WHERE 1T HAD BIRTH
LEAGUE HAS NOTHING
GOOD TO SAY OF U. s.
Organizers Preach That This Is Rich
Mans War and That America Had
No Right to ConscripI Sons Of Any
Man-Sowine Seeds of Discomfort
Among Farmers.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, March 5.-The activities
of the Farmers Nonpartisan League in
Iowa and the open fight which is on
in this state against it's gaining a
foothold in Iowa by the Greater Iowa
Association is attracting much inter-
est. Several months ago the league
opened offices in Des Moines and be-
gan promoting its organization thru
out the state.
In fact the league, which, as is'well
known, originated in North Dakota, is
extending it's organization in several
states. 1t is claimed that the organ
ization has membership Of 10000 in
North Dakota and over 100000 outside
that state, including parts of Mon
tana, Idaho. Washington, South Da-
kota, Minnesota, Nebraska, Colorado
and northern Iowa. 1t is also reported
to be spreading into Texas.
The league is being attacked on the
charge that it is not loyal to the gov
eminent. Rev. Thomas f. Paris, or
Des Moines. former pastor of the Capt.
tol Hill Church of Christ of this city,
who had just returned from lecture
tour during which he filled more than
100 lecture engagements in North and
South Dakota and in Minnesota, is
outspoken against the league.
Sees Nothing Good in 1t.
"The Nonpartisan League has no
good thing to say about the govern
ment or the way the war is being car
VT ri n
statement made here Monday.
Its organizers preach that this is
a rich mans war and that the govern
ment mad no right to conscript the
sons of any man. I have been to their
meetings. I know their game. They
never urge anybody to support Uncle
Sam On the other hand. they are CO.
ing everything within their power to
make the farmer suspicious Of his
government. it's leaders and of his
neichbors who live in the towns and
cities.
"They are telling the, farmer he is
getting the worst end Of every deal;
that he is not getting a fair shake
politically or commercially: that he is
not recognized in politics or business.
They are trying to destroy the spirit
of cooperation which has been built
up during the last forty years.
'The league is political organiza :
ton pure and simple SO far as the
leaders are concerned. The promoters
are. smooth. They charge SIS entrance
fee. Four dollars goes to the organ
iZer. four to the local league and the
remainder to the head office.
The public safety commission OF
Minnesota is hot on the leagues trail
in that state. I-,have known of in
stances where the commission has
taken over league meetings and turned
them into patriotic rallies I would
be extremely sorry to see the league
get a foothold in Iowa"

Sioux City. March 5.-Sioux City
grain dealers expect representatives OF
the federal government here this week
to buy corn for export to the American
army in Europe and to the allies. This
is part Of the governments program to
buy 100000 to 100000 bushels daily
during the next few weeks for export
purposes.
The grain. it is said. must be sound
and dry This leads to the belief that
it is to be used for bread purposes as
we'll as for feeding stock 1t is thought
the mills of Europe are to be equipped
for grinding corn -four, the same as the
mills of this country have been forced
to equip themselves.
Local grain men assert there are
vast quantities of first grade corn in
Sioux City territory that has been
seeking market, but that has been
unable to reach the market because
of the lack Of cars. Should the gov
eminent purchase for export they say
the grain will be given priority and

Results From State
College Association Contest.

Special to Times Republican.
Sioux City, March 5.-There is much
dissatisfaction expressed by the repre-
sentatives Of several college oratorical
associations over the result OF the state
contest held at Mornings,dc College
last Friday night. The dissatisfaction
has been so great that ii has been re-
ported Morningside will withdraw from
the association tho any intention oil
such action is positively denied by
Prof Charles A. March OF the public
speaking department
1t is not denied. however, that an et-
fort will be made to have the consti-
tuition and bylaws of the association
so changed that there will be no such
Observation-Disclosures in the future, and
that an effort will be made to bar
women orators from the contests be-
cause Judges universally favor them
whether Intentionally or not
In the contest last Friday night the
judges at first announced that Lee
Soltow. of Morningside, had won the
first place and the 800 prize that went
with it. Later the award was changed
and first place and the prize money
went to Miss Dewey Deal, of Buena
Vista College at Storm Lake.
1t appears the judges awarded first
place to Soltow on the showing that
the averages and per cents given him
BY the judges made his the highest
However, it was discovered there was
rule that where a contestant had re-
ceived first place" votes, regardless OF
the totals and averages, that contest
ant should be declared the winner
Miss Deal mad three ''tirsts" and was
declared the winner.
1t appears that some years ago a
Morninsside contestant was deprived
Of a victory, but in exactly reverse
manner.
