MEAT CAUSE Of
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take q glass of Salts if your Back
hurts or Bladder bothers-Meat
forms uric acid.

If you must have your meat every day,
eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts
occasionally, says a noted authority who
tells US that meat forms uric acid which
almost paralyzes the kidneys in their eff
forts to expel it from the blood. They
become sluggish and weaken, then you
suffer with dull misery in the kidney
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
channels often get sore and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or three
time during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids, to
cleanse the kidneys and flush of the
body's urinous waste get four ounces of
Jad Salts from any pharmacy here;
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 and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize the acids in urine,
so it no longer irritates, thus ending
bladder weakness. H

THE KING SAVES A LIFE.

TINKER Bob was walking through
the great forest looking after the
needs Of the dwellers. Sometimes
they needed help, sometimes they
needed advice. The Kings duty was
to teach them to be true to each
other - to convince them that if they
would be careful to treat their neigh
bors well, many of their troubles
would end.
While passing near the home of
Major Pole Cat, Tinker Bob noticed
some broken twigs and freshly dis
turbed earth. This he thought very
strange, as the Major was not given
to doing such things himself, and
usually at this hour in the day he
was asleep. Tinker walked close
to the entrance of his home, which
was at the foot of hollow tree.
Someone has been trying to harm
Major Pole Cat," said he to himself.
II see" he continued, looking
closer. "The hunter has been in the
Great Forest today"
Just then he heard some noises
from within Major Pole Cats home
which indicated that he was awake
and was preparing to come out. In
a moment the Majors nose was seen
in the doorway.
Don't you dare to come out or
you will be killed" warned Tinker
Bob.
Major Pole Cat was greatly sur
prised to think that the King would
talk in such a way to him. He could
think of nothing that should cause
such words, but he thought it wise
to heed them, nevertheless. So he
remained inside his house.
Jerry the Jay heard what was
said and hurried away to tell it from
the tree tops to all the forest dwell
ers. In very short time there was
quite gathering. Chief Porky came

Hindering the Peace Conference

Our dOughboys have found the weather thick
ard the going bad in France these last few
months The winters over there are execrable
and the mud deep and sticky.
IN L fguratiye sense American and other
diplomats are up against the same sort OF OBJ
stacles. The atmosphere at the peace confer
encs is decidedly foggy and the feet of progress
frequently nire down and stick
Somewhere there are forces at work which,
II not directly opposed to the purposes of
majority Of the delegates, at least operat-
ing at cross purposes. Complaint has become
so general that there is talk even of removing
the con ference to some place outside of France.
Apparently the trouble lies with Premier
Clemenceau and those who are supporting him.
The premier is An old man and what is more
to the point, he is of the old school. His cour-
age and spirit fired his countrymen and did
much to keep France going in the darkest
hours OF the war. He is fighting man, pre-
eminently, but he does not fit so readily into a
scheme that looks to permanent peace. How
ever much he may be admired for what he has
are to appear ungrateful the time evidently has
come for a change II France is to remain in
sympathy with what the peace conference is
disposed to do and will do, in spite of oppo-
sition.
Whatever the premier was in the dark hours
of his country he looks very much like
square peg in a round hole.

Conservative Waterway Advocacy

The national rivers and harbors congress got
down to brass tacks when it rebuked advo-
cacy of appropriations by congress for water
way projects with a view Of "uterior o.
secondary results" Only streams suitable for
through water traffic are worth spending
money upon, it was commended, and navigation
facilities should not be provided merely for the
purpose of reducing competitive rates by rail-
This does not exclude the Mississippi river
or its main tributaries, but it does aim at elm
ination Of expenditures for great many small
streams which technically are navigable, but
upon which commerce never has been and
never will be practical. The time is past for
advocating indiscriminate waterway improve
ment merely to assure expenditure of money in
districts of many congressman as possible.
It is an encouraging sign when those who
speak for the internal waterways themselves
begin to discriminate. The day of inland wa
ter transportation is not past, but it will never
be restored to its own long its champions
fan to recognize the weakness of some OF their
past practices
