 OF KIDNEY PAIN
We Eat Too Much Meat, Which Clogs Kidneys, Then the
 Back Hurts.
Says Glass of Salt E1uShes Kidneys and Ends Bladder
 Irritation.

Uric acid in meat excites the kid neys, they become overworked; ~get1 sluggish, ache, and feel like Jumps of lead. The urine becomes cloudy; the1 bladder is irritated and you may be, obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. When theI kidneys clog you must help them flush off the body's urinous waste or you'll be a real sick person shortly. At first you feel a dull misery in the. kidney region, you suffer from backache, sick headache, dizziness, stomach gets sour tongue coated and you feel rheumatic twinges when the weather is bad.
 Eat less meat, drink lots of water; | also get from any pharmacist four ounces of lad Salts; take a table, ! spoonful in a. glass of water beforef breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. EhisS \ famous salts is made from the acid Of grapes and lemon juice com bined with : Iithia. and has been used for general tions to clean clogged kidneys andl stimulate them to normal activity, also to neutralize the acid in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder weakness.

Llfe Crushed Out Of Little Dealers
 in Eggs and Poultry

Chicago, Feb. 27.-Testimony in tended to substantiate charges that pig Chicago packers eliminated small dealers Tn poultry and eggs by unfair tactics, that their agents lobDied as'alnSt certain labor hoSlslat1on in State capitols and that they sought to increase Negro help in their plants, was introduced yesterday at the inquiry of the packing industry before Samuel W. Tator examiner for the Federal Trade Commission.
 Francis J. Heney of the Federal Trade Com mission attempted to show that the packers by setting up "dlrn- my firms and by underselling the small concerns had crowded many from the field. He named w F. Priebe, whom he charged with draw ing a salary from Swift Co.,, while serving on the Federal Food Admin istration for $1 a year, with being especially active in the campaign against small concerns He declared that the W. F. Priebe & Co.,, Chicago, reputed to be the largest 'independ- ent' butter and egg dealers in the country and which he alleged is own ed by Swift & Co.,, controlled a score of creameries and poultry and butter and egg plants in Missouri, Illinois and Iowa, operating them under "dunl- my'' names to make them appear as Independent firms.
 This was done to fool the farmers and public,'' Atty. Heney said. Tn reality, all the concerns are owned by Swift 6, Co.,
 He then introduced a statement of w. r. Priebe & O., giving a, list of their plants and buying stations in Iowa, which he said was seized by agents Of the Federal Trade Commis- sion from the files of the company after the management had denied any connection with the concerns previ- ously mentioned in testimony except that the Priebe Company merely act ed as selling agent.
 J. E. Hoban of Carrollton, Mo-, af- ter giving testimony in regard to the packers activities, ma0e an appeal for Government protection, as he feared, he said, that his business would be completely wrecked by the packers in retaliation for his teSti- mony.
 "I am like a flea biting an ele- phant," Hoban said, and I won't have a flea's chance if the packers start after me-
 "If there isn't enough fighting spirit left among the small dealers to come before the Federal Trade Commission and let the Government know what is going on, just as you have done. am indeed sorry for the small dealers and for the people of this country said MT. Heney. ''The great trouble the Govern ment has in proceeding against the packers is that men like you, who have the information, fear to give it. The Federal Trade Commission with out red tape will act whenever com plaints are made of unfair, illegal business practises.'

FULL INDEPENDENCE,
DEMAND OF BELGIUM
Will Brook No Meddling in Affairs
After War.

Belgium will not consent to a
renewal OF the treaty of 1899 or
revert to its former status as a
'neutralized' nation after the war,
officials of the Belgian Official In
formation Service declared last
night.
The people of the nation will not
consider a return to that state OF
guaranteed" neutrality, which vio-
lated by Germany. brought England
and later the United States into the
war
The nation demands the right to
control her own affairs in such a
manner as will best suit her own
interests, without interference on
the part of any foreign power. A
return to her former status would
entail a perpetual intrusion by Ger
many into the domestic life of the
nation. subjecting the people to an
intolersble superintendence, it is
stated
The statement of Belgian attitude
was made in refutation to the en-
deavors of German statemen, and
propagandists to create the i'm
preston that Belgium would be
willing to return to her position be-
fore the war.

The Food Administration yester-
day announced a change in the date
of issuing the fair price list.
Formerly II was issued on FRIDAYS.

market days of the farmers, IL has
been decided that the fair price list
committee should meet on Tuesday
in order that the prices set in the

American peoDle to defeat what may
be a German attempt to weaken
America at the very time when her
power is forcing the enemy to sur

let thoughts of peace interfere with

to affect her industrial morale. with
immediate reaction on her military
strength.

SET PRICE ON COTTON
CONSIDERED UNLIKELY
Baruch Declares Rate-Fixing May
Be Unnecessary.

1t may not be necessary to fix
cotton prices, was the opinion ex-
pressed by Bernard NJ. Baruch.
chairman of the War Industries
Board. in commenting yesterday on
the cotton situation.
He said that the substitution of
lower grades would of itself solve
the problem of regulating the sup
ply without requiring the board to
establish prices.
The entire subject, however. is
being investigated thoroughly and
scientifically, he says. Meanwhile
the value OF the cotton supply has
been increased immensely through
the use of lower grade cotton, Civ
ing to the lower grade a distribu-
tion virtually as wide as the high
grade.
Concerning wool. Mr.. Baruch was
hopeful that arrangements could be
made, through the use of wooden
ships in the South American trade,
to include imports for civilian al
location as well as for the military.
