place. We want you to see

cotton jersey cloth. The gar
ment is made loose, with good
straight lines, has a full skirt

course. Secretary Baker appeared to
anticipate today that there would be
no cessation of the inquiry into his
department. In fact, he alluded,

MEAT CAUSE Of
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take Salts To Flush Kidneys Ii
Back Hurts or Bladder
BOtherS.

If YOU must have your meat every
dav. eat it. but flush your kidneys
with salts occasionally, says not
ed authority who tells us that
meat forms uric acid which almost
paralyzes the kidneys in their eff
forts to expel it from the blood.
They become sluggish and weaken,
then you suffer with a dull misery
in the kidney region, sharp pains in
the back or sick headache, diZZl-
ness. your stomach sours, tongue
is coated and when the weather is
bad you have rheumatic twinges.
The urine gets cloudy, full of sed-
iment. the channels often get sore
and irritated, obliging YOU to seek
relief two or three times during the
night.
To neutralize these irritating
acids, to cleanse the kidneys and
flush off the body's urinous waste
get four ounces of Jad Salts from
any pharmacy here; take a table
spoon 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, COM
bined with Iithia, and has been
used for generations to flush and
stimulate sluggish kidneys. also to
neutralize the acids in urine, so it
no longer irritates, thus ending
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot
injure, and makes a delightful eff
fervescent Iithfa- water drink

wOMAN.s DEVOTION TO HONE.

Home duties to many women ap-
pear more important than health.
No matter how i'll they feel, they
drag themselves through their
daily tasks, overdo and pay the
penalty in headaches, backaches,
dragging down pains and nervous
ness; they become irritable. and
finally discover that some form of
female complaint has fastened it
self upon them. When a woman
gets into this condition there is one
tried and true remedy made from
the roots and herbs of the field,
Lydia E. Pinkham' Vegetable Com
pound, which for more than forty
years has continued its great work
among women in restoring health
after many other remedies have
failed (Adv.)

At the Majestic

That ravaging peaceful converts
with brutal savagery is a popular
Prussian pastime is shown in ITO
He'll With the Kaiser" which con-
tinues to attract crowds to the Ma
testfc theatre, where this tremen-
dous Indictment OF the Hun closes
today. Peaceful serenity reigns su-
preme in the convent shown in this
picture, and then the invading
hordes of Huns are seen crossing
the sacred Threshold, committing
assault upon the helpless nuns and
girls. The brute nature is upper
most in these invaders and they
know no limit as they madly pillage
and kill. Lawrence Grant, Olive
Tell, Betty Howe. John Sunderland
and Frank Currier head the large
cast Of this big production.

At the Colonial.

Jack and the Beanstalk," at the
Colonial theatre today and tomor-
row. is the most artistic picture
William Fox ever has produced
and this is said with due apologies
to 'Neptune's Daughter, ga Daugh-
ter of the Gods and THE Honor
System"
The Riddles all think that Jack
and the Beanstalk" was produced
especially for them, and so 1t was
one angle of it, at least-but 1t is
filled with such delicious, subtle
humor that the theatre rang with
applause Two marvellous children,
Francis Carpenter and Virginia Lee
COrbin, play the leads. Not only
are they the most beautiful. children
on the screen, but they are the most
talented
The acting of Virginia, as the
Princess, in her love scenes with
Jack, who has come to Stay the
giant, is simply away ahead of any
thing that any other child has ever
accomplished. Virginia is four and
a half and Francis is a year older.
The adventures of Jack and the
Princess make the story, which is
more beautifully produced than one
would believe possible. Nothing has
been left out which might contrib
ute to the perfection of the picture
But, in spite of the fact that the
settings are magnificent, the pho
Biography a marvel and the children
beautiful, it is the wonderful hui
NOR of the production which has
the greatest appeal. The titles con-
tribute not little to this humOr.
