If you must have your meat every

suffer with dull misery in the kid
ney region, sharp pains in the back
or sick headache, dizziness, your
stomach sours, tongue is coated and
when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine gets
cloudy. full of sediment, the chan
nels often get sore and irritated, OBJ
liging 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 phar-
macy here; take Il tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for a
lew 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 generations to flush
and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also
TO nsutralize the acids in urine, so il
no longer irritates, thus ending blad-
der weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in

dren ran to her home to tell the

TELLS DYSPEPT|CS
WHAT TO EAT
Avoid Indigestion, Sour Acid
Stomach, Heartburn, Gas
on Stomach, Etc.

Indigestion and practically all forms
of stomach trouble, say medical au-
thorities, are due nine times out ST
ten to an excess of hydrochloric acid
in the stomach. Chronic "acid stom-
ach" is exceedingly dangerous and
sufferers should do either one of two
things.
Either they can go on limited
and often disagreeable diet, avoiding
foods that disagree with them, that
irritate the stomach and lead to eN-
cess acid secretion or they can eat
as they please in reason and make ii
a practice to counteract the effect of
the harmful acid and prevent the for
nation of gas, sourness or premature
Bisurated Magnesia at their meals
There is probably no better, safer
or more reliable stomach antiacid than
. Bisurated Magnesia and 1t is widely
lsed for this purpose. It has no di-
rect action on the stomach and is not
a digestent. But teaspoonful of the
powder or couple of five-grain tab
let's taken in little warm water with
the food will neutralize the excess
vent its further formation. This re-
moves the whole cause of the trouble
and the meal digests naturally and
BEAUTIFULLY without need of pepsin
pills or artificial digestents
Get a few ounces of Bisurated Mag
nesia from any reliable druggist. Ask
for either powder or tablets 1t never
and in the bisurated form is not q
laxative. Try this plan and eat what
YOU want at your next meal and 500

The assistant will be provided with

for this work. He is junior in the
department of animal husbandry at

these attacks have been carried out.
Were mines and explosives placed on
lines which were little guarded or
were the attacks carried out on the
train by igniting a charge of dyna-
mite, or by the employment of in
fernal machines q"
Captain Won Papen replying from
Mexico, where it is now known that
he was industriously planting the
seeds of German propaganda and es-
tablishing connections for Germany
to use in the event that she should
war upon the United States, did not
regard the operations of the Mexican
revolutionaries as of any particular
value. For four months later he
wrote from Mexico City:
Il am convinced from personal
evidence that all the recent cases of
destruction of railway lines by ex
plosion were brought about by bury
ing dynamite under the line itself and
then igniting it by an electric cur
rent as soon as the train had reached
the appointed place. l consider it out
of the question that explosions pre-
pared in this way would have to be
reckoned with in an European war.
They are only possible on lines that
are ill-guarded which, as in this
country, often pass four miles
through revolutionary districts and
have no protection other than a pilot
train Internal machines,
50 far as I know, have never been
employed"
Another letter to Won Papen from
the manager of the Potsdam branch
of the Disconto- to-Gesellschaft, has this
postscript:
"P. S. We have never before seen
such preparations for war as are be-
ing made at present German govern
ment stocks fell to-day one per cent
Kind regards.
"R. MIMEL"
This letter was regarded as of par
ticular interest by the British COM
pliers of the correspondence in view
of it's date, July %, 1914, while nego-
tiations still were in progress to
avoid war
Dumba Unconscious of Danger
Evidently DIR. Dumba, Austro
Hungarian ambassador to the United
States, recalled at the request of this
government, did not appreciate until
the last moment the danger in which
he was placed by his own machina-
tions, for optimism characterized his
last letter to Won Papen dated at
LenoX, Mass, September /, 1915.
Things are doing splendidly in
Russia" wrote Dumba. IF only the
Dardanelles hold out. Everything has
ended happily in Washington and
people already think they hear the
bells of peace ringing. We have not
got that length yet, but it just shows
what a good effect it produced by
