Much TinfOil Is
Picked Up In City

Where does it all come FROM"
Is the exclamation that is given by
all who pass the salvage depot win
dows and see the immense pile OF
tinfoil that has been collected in
the city. Several weeks ago the Red
Cross members placed receptacles
about the streets for the purpose
of catching all the tinfoil that here
tofore has gone to waste, and the re-
suits of this conservation have been
astonishing.
When the tinfoil is collected and
brought to the salvage room 1t has
to be gone over carefully and each
piece Strengthened out, as one of the
requirements is that 1t must go flat
into the melting pot. The object of
this is to avoid accidents.
A roll or ball of tinfoil would
make an excellent place to conceal
bullet or some explosive, which, il
thrown into the melting pot, might
cause a terrible accident. Uncle Sam
is not going to run any chances, and
he has given notice to his Red Cross
workers to unroll every piece of tin
foil before it is submitted. Even that
folded is Strengthened out in case
some explosive is concealed in Its
midst by an enemy.
This work is tedious and requires
endless, labor, and this could be as
sisted wonderfully If those disposins
tinfoil in the bags would put 1t in
straight instead of folding or rolling

"White Mans Law"
At Vining Theatre

Sierra Leone, on the west coast
0f Africa, is the scene Of the new
Paramount photoplay, "The White
Mans Law" starring Sessue Haya-
kawa, the distinguished young Jap
anese actor. In this romantic set
ting, Mr.. Hayakawa is seen as an
ivory trader, and the story, which
was written by Marion Fairfax and
John Browne, provides this talented
star with numerous opportunities for
the display of his versatile talents.
This land is called "the white
mans grave" and to it comes Sir
Harry. Falkland, a rascally English
man, to redeem himself, leaving a
suffering wife behind him. He be-
zones enamored of Maidi Verne, n
pretty little Sudanese, and makes ad-
lances towards her. She is loved by
Ghengis, an ivory trader and Oxford
university graduate, but attracts to-
wards Falkland, she coquets with
Chengls who is bitterly disappoint-
cd
Ghengi5 and Falkland 90 to the
bush together to trade in ivory, and
Ghengi3 learns that Falkland has a
wife in England and that she Is on
her way to rejoin him in Africa They
have a terrible battle and Ghengls
i7 left for dead by Falkland, who re-
turns to the settlements. He again
forces himself upon MAZDA, but his
purpose Is frustrated by Ghengis,
who returns Unexpectedly from the
dead as it were. Falkland commits
suicide and Ghengis takes MAZDA to
his heart.
The entire production is character
lied by intelligent acting, skillful di-
rection and the story is one of more
than average merit.

Law, which will be presented at
the Vining theatre next Tuesday and
Wednesday, appear Florence Vidor

MEAT EATERS
HAVE SLOW KIDNEYS
LAT less meat il you feel Backachy
or have bladder troub3e-Takc
glass of Salts.


I No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make q mistake by
flushing the kidneys Occasionally,
says well-known authority Meat
forms uric acid which excites the
kidneys the become over-worked
from the strain, get sluggish and
fail to filter the waste and poisons
from the blood, then we get sick.
Nearly all rheumatism, headaches,
liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness,
sleeplessness and urinary disorders
comes from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a 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 a sensation of scalding,
stop eating meat and get about four
ounces OF Jad Salts from any phar-
macy; take a tablespoonful in a glass
of water before breakfast and in a.
few days your kidneys will act fine
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been USED
for generations to flush and stimulate
the kidneys, also to neutralize the
acids in urine so it no longer causes
irritation, thus ending bladder weak
ness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure: makes a delightful efferveS-
cent Whitewater drink which every
one should take now and then to
keep the kidneys clean and active and
the blood pure, thereby avoiding
serious kidney complications.

pacity during the Federal league war.
had been led to believe that the ma
jority of the club owners favored his
candidacy and he went to the Waldorf
yesterday at the request Of the club
owners.
As baseball in its present unsettled
condition needs a practical baseball
man, the club owners agreed on Hey
der. He served out the unfinished
term of Harry PulIiam in 1909, and
r one of the best versed men connect
sd with the game. Mr.. Heydler was a
baseball reporter on the Washington
star in 1894. In that same year he
was appointed a substitute umpire in
the National league by the late Nick
! Young.
In 1898, Mr.. Heydler was appointed
as a regular umpire and he refers to
those days as a stormy period in his
life. This was the first year of the

: umpiring was enough, and he was on

private secretary. In 1907 the office Of
secretary treasurer was created, and
Mr.. Heydler was appointed to the
place under President Pulliam. When
Mr. Pulliam died in 1909, Mr. Heydler
was elected for the unfinished term.

HOLLAND MAY ALSO
HAVE TO SETTLE
BELGIUM Still SInartS Under 1889
Treaty Terms

London, Dec. 10, (British wireless
service. )-Belgium claims that the
peace conference will be directed, not
only against Germany, but against
Holland, according to the Etropoie of
Antwerp, which quotes the Belgian
minister of foreign affairs as follows:
"Obviously our first demand from
Germany will be the restitution of all
of which we were robbed in hundreds
of ways. AS far as territorial re-
adjustments are concerned, if YOU
carefully read between the lines of the
passages of the recent speech from
the throne which refers to the old
treaties they will tell you as much
as I can"
The passages in question deal espe-
cialls with the international treaty Of
1889 which fixes the status of Bel
GUM. This treaty deprived the young
kingdom of Belgium of the principal
portions of her provinces of Leswig
and Luxembourg and enriched the Ger
man confederation by the Belgian
towns of the provinces of Liege such
as ST. With, Eupon, Malmady and
Montjoie. 1t likewise made the king
dom of the Netherlands master of the
lower Scheldt. The consequence was
that since the beginning of the war,
Antwerp has been bottled up and de-
prived of all possible assistance by
sea against the invader. In declaring
the treaty which wronged Belgium in
this way and reduced her in size from
1889 to 1918 now is dead letter, the
king gave an idea of what Belgium
claims would be.
