CONDITIONS IN GERMANY.

Germany is still adrift No one at this dis
tance, and probably no observers on the ground
can clearly see where she is moving. The gen
eral direction appears to be along untried paths
towards conditions more disturbed than they are
today. But so far the revolution is rather a
hegation than a positive movement, and is a
listless, dull unpicturesque affair No great
leader has arisen, inspiring idea has been
proclaimed Second-rate men, temporizers
compromisers, are trying to make peaceful
transition to stable order; but as vet condi
tons are chaotic and it is not sure that any
certain progress has been made
Leading radicals are seeking to foment q
popular uprising. But all the soldiers are moi
yet back from the front, and until thew have
been home long enough to learn what conditions
and prospects Of employment are and what the
civilian sentiment is they probably will NOT

SALTS IS FINE FOR
KIDNEYS, OUT MEAT
Flush the Kidneys at once when
Back hurts or. Bladder
bothers.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally,
says a well-known authority. Meat
forms uric acid which clogs the kid
ney pores so they sluggishly filter or
strain only part of the waste and
poisons from the blood, then you get
sick. Nearly all rheumatism, head
aches, liver trouble, nervousness,
constipation, dizziness, sleeplessness,
bladder disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache
in the kidneys or your back hurts.
or if the urine is cloudy, offensive,
full of sediment, irregular of passage
or attended by sensation of scald-
ing, get about four ounces OF Jad
Salts from any reliable pharmacy and
take a tablespoonful 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,
combined with lithia and has been
used for generations to flush clogged
kidneys and stimulate them to &C
tivity. also to neutralize the acids
in urine so 1t no longer causes irri-
tation, thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes a delightful effer-
vescent Whitewater drink which all
regular meat eaters should take now
and then to keep the kidneys clean
and the blood pure. thereby avoiding
serious kidney complications.

TO AVOID AND
RELIEVE influenza
BY DIR. FRANKLIN DUANE.

4 Is q
Many people have been frightened
by what they have read or heard Of
influenza. The more you fear the
disease, the surer you are to get It,
Go right about your business and
forget it. AS the disease is spread
principally by contact thru sneez-
ing, coughing or splitting, many
health authorities have advised that
everyone wear gauze, which is
daily washed and saturated with a
one to five hundred solution Of zinc
sulpha.e in water, and them dried be-
fore wearing over the nose and
mouth. You should avoid crowds,
common drinking cups and public
towels. Keep your strength up by
taking lots OF exercise in the open
air and plenty OF nourishing food.
II you have any of such symptoms
as chilliness, nasal distractions,
| flushed face, headache, feverishness,
restlessness, weakness, or irritating
| cough, give up work at once and go
| tc bed. This will save your strength
| to help overcome the disease. Put
your feet in hot water for fifteen
minutes. Thoroughly loosen the
bowels with some such mild and nom
| irritating physic as DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. Drink principally
| of hot lemonade and then cover up
| with plenty of clothes in bed so as
Ito get good sweat. When sweating
| is free and the fever reduced, take
] a dose Of two Anuric Tablets every
| four hours, followed by drinking at
least a glass or two of hot water.
Anuric Tablets help quickly to re-
| lieye the soreness of the muscles
and bones from which most patients
complain and help the kidneys flush
out the poisons.
To relieve nasal distractions and
excessive discharge from the nose.
probably nothing is better than such
a mild, soothing. antiseptic wash as
Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. 1t will
give great relief Employed as a
gargle, in same strength as made
up for use in the nose, and as hot
as can be borne. it quickly arrests
soreness and dryness in the throat.
Influenza weakens the patients re-
sistance to disease, so that there is
danger Of bronchitis and pneumonia
developing. To combat this tendency
and fortify the patients strength, in
sist that he keep in bed at least two
days. Probably nothing will at this
stage hasten the recovery and
strengthen the patient more than
an iron-tonic tablet called Irontic"
| or that we'll known herbal tonic, DR..
Fierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
which has been used by thousands
In the past two generations.

CANNON FOR KEoKUK.

Some cities are asking for the spolls OF war;
they want one or more of the great cannon cap
tured at Metz to be placed in their public
squares or parks as a memorial to the war and
the part their troops played in it. This is an
idea worth considering It seems probable that
it is one to meet with approval from the return
ing soldiers and with the great public, too.
There is more than sentiment in the perpetu-
alton of memory by concrete means. The mem
ory Of this war and Of this nations expedition
to end it rightly is something epochal in our
history that will live and ought to be kept VI
vidly alive The cannon want idea has merit
enough to serve as nucleus for similar pro-
iects throughout the land. Why, for instance,
should not Keokuk have cannon or some suit
able object to serve as a war memor1alY we
have our share in the fighting men who have
won the spoils. Why not our share IN the

TODAYS BIT OF VERSE
THE EooL,s PRAYER.

Z
The royal feast was done; the King
Sought some new sport to Danish care,
And to his jester cried: Sir Fool
kneel now, and make for prayerI
The jester dotted his cap and bells,
And stood the hooking court before;
They could not see the bitter smile
Behind the painted grin ne wore.
He bowed his head and bent his knee
Upon the monarch's silken stool;
His pleading voice arose: 20 Lord
Be merciful to me, fool!
.No pity, Lord, could change the heart
From red with wrong to white as wool:
The rod must heal the sin; but Lord,
Be merciful to me, a fool.
"'Tis not by guilt the onward sweep
OF truth and right, o Lord. we stay;
IT'S by our follies that so long
We hold the earth from heaven away.
These clumsy feet still in the mire
Go crushing blossoms without end;
These hard, werneaning hands thrust
Among the heartstrings of a friend.
"The ilI-dmed truth might have kept
Who knows how sharp it pierced and stung!
The word we had not sense TO say
Who knows how grandly IL had rungi
"Our faults no tenderness should ask,
The Christening stripes must cleanse them all:
But for our blunders-oh, in shame
Before the eyes of heaven fail.
Earth bears no balsam for mistakes;
Men crown the knave, and scourge the tool
That did his WILL but Thou, 0 Lord
Be merciful to me- fool!"
The room was hushed; in silence rose
The King, and sought his gardens cool.
And walked apart and murmured low,
BE merciful to me, fool"

PLANN1NG FOR PEACE INDUSTRY.

Announcement that the government pro-
noses to enter at once upon the Investigations
and agreements necessary as preliminary to
settlement of war contra cts is welcome evidence
that by this much the way to reconstruction OF
the industrial program will be cleared. 1t IS
essential to the planning of peace industry that
the producing manufacturers who have been
,devoting their resources and plants to war
manufactures know what they have to do and
what they have to do with. Stoppage OF war
manufactures means labor idle unless new pro-
ducts are at once determined upon and needed
preparations for transformation Of means for
producing them are started promptly One way
of readjustment is pointed out in the latest
bulletin of the National City Bank Of New York
wherein it is said:
The only effective assurance against unem
ployment or wage-reductions is by having a pro-
gram of work to be done. The situation is an
extraordinary one and therefore justifes unusual
precautions. It is quite unnecessary for the gov
eminent to continue expenditures upon anything
like the present scale or that it should employ
anybody for the purpose of providing work.
There is a general scarcity OF labor the
country over and the wants of private industry
should be supplied as rapidly as possible by re-
leasing men from the government OPERATIONS
With an indeterminate status on war work
prevailing there can be no real readJustment

present situation The money tied up In war
