CALIFORNIA LABOR PROGRAM
+. members of congress have received
from the reconstruction committee of /
the California State Federation of
Labor report dealing with wages
and the cost of living, and declaring
that the wage level must not be re-
duced during the reconstruction
period.
! Our resources of labor and utilized
resources have been increased DURING
the war;" says the report. "while
those OF other countries have been d. /
mimshed. We have practically every,
thing that the world needs, and we
alone among the industrial nations
seem to be in position to export in
vast quantities the materials needed
in reconstruction.
For this reason the California
State Federation of Labor can see no
possible excuse for the cry that wages
shall be reduced to the pre-war
standard or that working hours shall
be heightened. The United States
bureau of labor statistics, Brad
streets, the Annalist and other re-
liable sources have given no evidence

IL is upon the basis of that reason
ing that the report calls for a pro-
gram of constructive rehabilitation
and industrial and economic reform
which covers everything from tenpor-

gcally, it demands that the entire pro-

acid from the blood and pass it on
to the bladder, where it often re-

Bladder weakness, most folks call
it, because they can't control urina-
tion., While it is extremely annoy
ing and sometimes very painful, this
is really one of the most simple all
ments to overcome. Get about four
ounces Of Jad Salts from your phar-
macist and take tablespoonful in a
glass Of water before breakfast, c5n-
tinue this for two or three days. This
will neutralize the acids in the urine
SO it no longer is source of irrita-

Jad Salts is Inexpensive, harmless,

and lemon Juice, combined with lithia,
and is used by thousands Of folks
who are subject to urinary disorders

Salts is splendid for kidneys and
causes no bad effects whatever.
Here you have pleasant, effer-
vescent Whitewater drink, which
quickly relieves bladder trouble.
