QUIT MEAT WHEN
 KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take a glass of Salts before breakfast if your Back hurts or Bladder is
 troubling you.

No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which excites the kidneys, they become overworked from the strain, get sluggish and fail to filter the waste and poisons from he blood, then we get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness, sleep Iessness and urinary disorders come from sluggish kidneys.
 The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts o1 if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage oe attended by a sensation of scaldi1GE stop eating meat and get about fer ounces of lad Salts from any pheG macy; take a tablespoonful in a glsSs of water before breakfast and ia few days your kidneys will act haSS9, This famous salts is made from G. acid of grapes and lemon juice, ces=. bined with lithia, and has been usSs for generations to flush and stimE5 late the kidneys, also to neutralizi the acids in urine so it no longer causes irrita tion, thus ending bladder weakness.

CHARGE MISUSE
 OF PRISONERS

Berne, Switzerland, Sunday, Feb. g Territorial questions were to the fore at both sessions of the interna- tionaI Socialist conference today, the subject of Alsace-Lorraine being the chief one considered. Some time also was spent debating a resolution fla voring the release by the Allies of the German prisoners of war.
 During the latter discussion there was a sharp exchange between Oscar Wells, a German majority Socialist, and Kurt Eisner, the Bavarian pre- mier, the latter accusing the German authorities of ill-treating French prisoners. Herr Eisner was warmly supported in this charge by one of the French delegates, Pierre Renaude1.
 The Russian delegates proposed that a commission of the conference representing all shades of socialism be sent to inquire into the political and econimic situation in Russia. The conference will pass on this question later.

 The conference committee of the United Textile Workers, representing terday that the strikers shall go back to their jobs on a temporary basis of eight hours a day and five work ing days a week pending settlement of the controversy by the War Labor Board.
 This action was taken in pursu- ance of an agreement by the manu- lecturers on Saturday to leave the matter of working hours to the work
 CTS until the questions at issue are determined by the board.
 The War Labor Board now will de-
 eide whether there will be a 50-hour
 week as demanded by the manufac-
 turers, or a 47-hour week as de-
 manded by the workers. The strike
 mus be declared off, at least for the time being, before the questions in dispute will be &djudicated. Committees to Go to Capital. A committee of three, representing the textile workers, send a commit tee of three representing the manu- lecturers will leave Paterson tonight for Washington. The delegates will | place the case before the War Labor Board tomorrow. Wednesday is Lin
 coln's Birthday. holiday. It is not Ibe1ieved the manufacturers would care about opening their mills just for Thursday and Friday as the tenn porary arrangement does not call for
 work on Saturday. Therefore, it is
 reasoned in Paterson, that the mills
 will open up temporary, pending a final settlement, today
 The conference committee of the United Textile Workers appointed yesterday it's Washington committee It consists of Louis Magnat. Broad | Silk Workers; James Starr, Hori- zontal Warpers Association, and Thomas W. Morgan, Loom Fixers and Twisters' Association.

.27TH IS COMING
 BACK IS UNIT
No Other Organization Scheduled For Early Re
 turn As Unit.

Washington, Feb. 10. - The 27th Division (New York National Guard) may be the only divisional organiza- ton to be paraded in this country. It is the only division so far to re- ceive priority for early return home in which the original personnel is substantially intact.
 This was announced today by Major Gen. March, Chief of Staff. The plan of having divisions parade in cities closest to the point of de- mobilization, announced recently by Secretary of War Baker, has not been abandoned, but in most cases this cannot be done
 We are bringing them back as divisions and sending them to the neighborhood of their homes for dis charge" said Gen. March. The 27th Division, which has been in Elan ders with the British, has retained more of it's old organization than any of the others, and we will try to get that whole division in New York at one time, if we can, so that it can parade there.
 Tn most cases, however, organiza- tions of division do not arrive at the same time, and in very few cases could we assemble the whole divi- sion. It is not capable of being done that's all"
 Gen. March was asked about the suggestion that the 42d Division ] (Rainbow), originally made up of ! National Guard units from 25 states would be brought to Washington and 1 paraded.
 1 There is a warm spot in Secre- 1 tary Bakers heart for the 42d," he said, and I should not be surprised if that could be managed Whether or not the 77th Division ! (New York drafted mem will be l paraded will depend largely on how l extensive have been the replacements ! 1t drew from other states while ir i the fighting line.
 1 we have been trying to make one i army over there" said Gen. March ir
 this connection. The fact is our re- | placement system has changed the
 men who originally were with any
 given division around so that they nl
 longer represent the section from i which they came. Of course, the skel-
 etons of those divisions have been re-
 tained and some of the officers, but
 it is one homogeneous force taker from all sources"
 All men coming back are asked from what sections of the country 1 they come and are sent to camps
 nearest their homes for discharge.
