Take a glass of Salts to flush
kidneys if bladder

or other, says a well-known authority,
because the uric acid in meat excites
the kidneys, they become overworked;
get sluggish clog up and cause all
sorts Off distress, particularly back
ache and misery in the kidney region;
rheumatic twinges. severe headaches,
acid stomach constipation, torpid
liver, sleeplessness, bladder and uri-
nary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or
kidneys aren't acting right, or.if blad-
der bothers you, get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for n few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon Juice, COM
bined with lithia. and has been used
for generations to flush clogged kid
neys and stimulate them to normal
activity; also TO neutralize the acids
in the urine SO it no longer irritates,
thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes delightful effervescent lithia-

SEAL CANNERY
 ESTABLISHED
 TO WESTWARD

SEATTLE, Wash. Feb. $. - A com plete cannery for the packing of seal meat was landed at the Pribiloif Is!- and seal rookeries by the United States fisheries bureau steamer Roose- veit which has returned here from is winter trip to the north. Tie govern ment will can for export all seal meat not required for the population of the islands.
 H. J. ChistofTers, assistant agent of the bureau of fisheries in charge of the Seattle office, says that the flesh of young seals is quite palatable and tender, having the consistency end texture of prime beef. It has been used on the seal island Cor many years as the only fresh meat available, while seal brains and liverS are of the finest quality.
 "One would naturally pl2sume tAat because the seals live on fish their flesh would have rishy flavor said MT. Chistoffer5, "but this is not the case. The fshy flavor is all in the bones and for this reason the bones are removed from the meat be- fore it is cooked. Only the shoulders are used and a three year cd bull WI yield from 50 to 60 pounds of choice meat. It is the intention of the gov ernment to preserve all the meat of the seals killed hereafter.
 All the parts of the seal carcass will be utilized for commercial pur- poses. Even the entrails are used, making higk grade soft les ther, while the lining of the throat is transform ed into a very thin, tough leather"
 This year for the first time, since 1910, there will be unrestricted killing of seals by the government, and It Is expected that about 35,O00 will be slaughtered, furnishing an immense quantity of meat in addition to the valuable pelts. In the seven years of protection, the Priblioff seal jierd has more than doubled, the census of 1917 giving total of 46S,974. In 1916, l16,977 seals were born at the rock cries.

BAKER CLAIMS Hf
 CAN SEND MILLION
 MEN 10 THE FRONT

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6. - The cross examination of Secretary of War Baker begun this forenoon and started off with interrOgatiUus re- garding the number of troops tn bc sent abroad this year.
 Secretary Baker stated that already more nen had been transported to France, including nOn-combataEts, than had first been planned. The secretary stated that il would be i'm proper to disclose the number of American troops abroad or those to be sent ar how.
 In former statement, several days ago. Secretary Baker stated that hc believed that one million men could be sent to France early tkis year. Today the Secretary explained that the Senators were wrong m assuming that only American boats would be used for this purpose. eve are not depending wholly upon American boats, all other nations are helping us, especially Great Britain as that country has transported hundreds of thousands of Canadians and have the equipment" said Secretary Baker.
 Senator Weeks started the eyamin- ation today.
 secretary Baker sad that th' Amer ican tonnage losses were exceedingly light as the service of tue navy in giving protection had been of the best.
 The Secretary gave it as his Opin- ion that new legislation would be de- sirable and President Wilson should be given general powers to transfer and coordinate the functions of the various Departments as conditions arise.
 The Secretary, in response to question, stated that i: was not de- terr,ined yet whether troops would be kept in the southern camps during the summer but if the summer weather proved 10 be as extreme as the winter weather has been, they would be re. moved.
 The principal point of the whole War Department controversy on the question as to where the War Depart ment was to secure ships to transport a million men to France this year, was practically untouched due partly to the reason that Secretary Baker did not have all detailed figures also because the committee got into a sauabble over whether it would be proper to have the Secretary disclose figures to the public.
 The Secretary indicated that Presi- dent Wilson and he were discussing further reorganization of the War De- partment which they hoped would sat- isfy "the chair warmers, the chief critics"
