LESS MEAT IF BACK
 AND KIDNEYS HURT
Take a Glass of Salts to Flush Ked-
 neys if Bladder Bothers You.

Eating meat regularly eventually produces kidney trouble in some form or other, says a well-known authority, because the uric acid in meat excites the kidneys, they become oterworked: : get sluggish; clog tip and cause all sorts of distress, particularly backache and misery in the kidney region; rheumatic twinges, severe headaches acid stomach, constipation. torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and ufi- nary irritation.
 The moment your back hurts or kid reys aren't acting right, or if bladder bothers you get about four ounces of lad Salts from any good pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in 8 glass of water before breakfast for few days and yotir kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com blned with lithla, and has been used for generations to flush clogged Kid neys and stimulate them to norma activity; also to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer initiates thus ending bladder disorders.
 lad Salts cannot injure anyone; makes a delightful efferyescent lithfa- water drink which millions of mer and women take now and then to keeT the kidneys and urinary organs clean thus avoiding serious kidney disease

For Duration of the War
Chronic Gossipers in Wall Street Are Restrained,
Though Not Completely Checked, by
Bans on Spreading of Idle Reports

watching quiet, sober acting security
market when suddenly the word went
around with lightning like rapidity
that great American transport had
been sunk with American troops in
the submarine zone. No one could con-
firm the story and it was given some
credence until Stock Exchange house
which had Offices in skyscraper
sent out the news to the district that
the "torpedoed" transport was sail
ing serencly up the bay under her
own steam.
Curiously enough during the recent
visitation Of German submarines to
these shores the rumor factory was
comparatively idle, the only story
.emanating from that quarter being a.
rumor that six German submarines
were laying to off Atlantic City get
ting ready to lombard the resort.
Since the various exchanges banned
the dissemination Of rumors their
point of origin has been carefully con-
cealed so that it is next to impossi-
BILE nowadays to run them down at
their source

Approach Toward
Suppression Is Made

The German Kaiser, who must
yield the palm only to the Grown
Prince in the number of times he has
been killed in this war, has been killed
on the Stock Exchange time and time
again since 1914. On other occasions
he has died natural death from q
strange malady. There was a time
when the death of the Kaiser meant
to Wall Street the end of the war so
that rumors of this character were
often put out with view to influence
ing the course of market prices. But
since the Exchange banned rumor-
mongering the Kaiser has not been
KILLED" once in the financial district
In the markets Of 1915 and 1915 re-
ports of war orders placed with in
dustrial companies filled Wall Street
for months. Some of the rumors
proved to be true, whereas others
were made out of whole cloth. Peri
odically there came also rumors of
peace proposals which on a number of
occasions exerted an important in
fuence on stock market prices. The
most frequently appearing reports
have been those Of vessels sunk at sea.
Strangely enough, on many occasions
the news has come into the financial
district in the form of unauthenti-
Gated rumors which later turned out
to be true. When the Lusitania was
SINK q Stock EyrhaDoa house cnp+
out a report of the disaster before
the real news came through and 1t
persisted as rumor until there was
official confirmation.
1t would of course be too much to
say that the exchange authorities have
effectively checked rumors spreading
by their recent action, although I'M
doubtedly the tendency is toward
suppressing wild stories that might
be harmful both to sentiment and to
market values.

limitation of the amount to be i'm
ported to the United States. however.
combined with the difficulties attend
ant on land transports, must restrict
such business.
Meanwhile, the plantation industry
is faced with the fact that, despite ex-
listing restrictions, the rubber output
1or the current year will not fall far
short OF 100000 tons. Taking Ameri-
can consumption on the restricted 3d.
600 tons basis, and allowing half that
amount for Great Britain and France
the industry will be left with an ap-
proximate surplus at the end of this
year OF 10000 tons. It is not easy to
state, out of hand, the part the nom
controlled producers will play in Gre
ating this impossible surplus, but there
is ample evidence available to show
that their part will not be negligible
one. The situation then would seem
to point, in the case of Malaga GER
tainly, to the speedy initiation Of a
system of complete control. The
Straits Settlements and Federated Ma
lay States authorities cannot allow the
chaos. Rubber has brought financial
prosperity to the Peninsula, and un-
der normal conditions rubber might
be trusted to maintain that prosperity.
Under the abnormal conditions that
now obtain 1t is the duty Of these au-
thorities to move quickly in the d.
rection Of formulating an effective
system Of control over the output Of
every rubber producing property, and
should the authorities fail to do so
the representatives of the industry in
London would be justified in bringing
the strongest pressure they are able
t. exert IN the Colonial Office in order
that q well-nigh intolerable position
might be apeedily ameliorsted.o

Crude Rubber Is Piling Up

DILING up Of huge stocks Of crude
L rubber in the Far East because Of
lack of ocean tonnage and the American
restriction on imports is giving Brit
ish rubber trade interests much trou-
BILE. According to "The London Times"
the situation in Malaga and Ceylon in
connection with plantation rubber pro-
duction is such that steps OF much
more drastic character than the ar
raneement of the British Rubber Grow
ers' Association can be expected to
meet are necessary.
1.-THE 20 per cent reduction in out
put" it says, "to which the membe rs
of the association have loyalty ad-
hered. unfortunately opens the way to
form of protiteerlng on the part OF
non-members that to certain extent
vitiates the sacrifice and in any case
complexities an already complex posi-
ton to an inordinate degree. The
stocks of rubber at Singapore are ex-
tremely heavy, the outcome primarily
Of the restriction placed upon ship
ments to Great Britain which limits
our imports to $4,000 tons year. The
United States has restricted imports OF
rubber during the next three months
to $4,000 tons of all varieties, or 1907
900 tons per annum. Of which 10000
tons will be plantation product: At the
same time America has limited the
price OF rubber to Is. ID. per pound,
while in Singapore the price is nomi

VIZ JAR has wrought many and var

wv led changes in Wall Street
ways. The adjustment Of tn.
financial district and it's army Of
workers to the new order of things
ushered in by the entrance of the
United States into the war has gone
ahead steadily and is still progressing.
The process will go on until peace
comes and perhaps thereafter. Banks,
foreign exchange, the security and
comm odity markets, have all felt the
hand of the war god in varying degree,
and the changes that have taken place
in business methods and customs in the
Street would surprise the Wall Street
frequenter of five or ten years ago.
Probably one Of the most interest
ing developments in the financial dis
trict since our entrance into the war
has been the attempt made by the
market authorities to put the ban on
the rumor-monger. In normal times
the most gossipy place in the coun-
try is to be found right in the fnan-
cial district where rumor is born
every minute. No small town even
had anything on Wall Street in its
heyday Of rumor mongering. All
that had to be donu was TO pass the
news" quietly in a conservative way
and it usually came back a few min
utes later all garnished up with ex-
travagant details. Millions of dollars
have been made and lost in Wal.
Street on the circulation of rumors
There have been times when wild
stories we're deliberately concocted for

CURLING Rumors Is
Unprecedented on Street

Dame Rumor lately, however, has
been taken in hand by the officials Of
the New York Stock Exchange and
the New York Cotton Exchange, and
while she Is still to be found at largo,
her activities have been much re-
stricted On the Stock Exchange the
governors recently adopted resolu-
tons to the effect that "the circula-
ton in any manner of rumors of q
sensational character by members Of
the exchange or their firms will be
deemed an act detrimental to the in
terest and welfare of the exchange.
Similar resolutions were adopted by
the Cotton Exchange governing board
after there had occurred tremendous
slump in cotton prices ascribed partly
to rumors set afoat that the govern
ment intended to fix the price Of cot
ton.
The effort being made to stop ru-
NOR spreading is new and has never
been done before. 1t has been eff
fective to a degree, although it did
not prevent this week the fiotaton of
a rumor that the German Crown Prince
and 10000 men had been captured by
the Allies. This rumor started the
rounds shortly after the opening of
the stock market and later when II
came back to the exchange the total
bag of Teutons had reached $4,000.

Restrictions Put
Whole People in Fight

In general way these are the
directions and the sanctions in law
of Great Britain's industrial mobili-
cation. In recent months govern
ment interference has been extend
ed to reach the consumer. The max
imum consumption Of food at hotels,
restaurants and clubs has been fixed
by government order for some
months; rationing Of sugar for the
whole population has been adopted
and the amount of butter and meat
an individual can consume is to be
regulated.
The restrictions and regulations,
taken as whole, give reality to the
commonplace statement that to-day
warfare is carried on by nations, not
merely by armies.
