KA|SER'S ACTIONS
 CAUSE SUSPICION
Former Emperor Thought to Be in Communication With Supporters

Amerongen, Holland, Feb. s, (By the Associated Press. )-There have been various indications during the last week that Count HohenzOllern, the former German emperor, is main taining communication with his for mer supporters.
 Two secretaries of the German lega- tion at The Hague, Koester and Schleibach, visited the castle at Amer ongen and stayed over night, having a long conference with Count HOhen- zollern and Hans von GOntard, the sole remaining high functionary of the old imperial court who remains faithful to the former emperor. Last night Baroness von Rosen, the English wife of the German minister to Hol- land, arrived and she is still at the castle today.
 The object of these meetings can not be ascertained as everything is kept secret under the influence of Herr von Gontard, who declines to permit any of his powers to be taken from his hands With him is a minor function arv of the former German court, Councillor Knauff. Herr von Gontard is the only member of Count Hohen- zollern's suite to lodge at the castle. General von Esdorff, Captain von Ise- mann and Dr. Forster, who is in at tendance on the former empress have rented a house outside.
 Further departures of the former emperors domestics occurred during the past week, some of them, however being replaced by new arrivals from Berlin. The German government has given notice to all state servants in attendance on the former emperor and his wife that they must place them selves at the disposal of the govern ment by April 1, or forfeit all claims for pensions. Countess Killer still re- mains with the former empress.

HEAVY MEAT EATERS
 HAVE SLOW KIDNEYS
Eat less meat if you feel Bac!1achy or have bladder trouble-Take
 glass of Salts.

SllSS or SaItS.
 No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make mistake by flushing the kidneys ociasionally, says a 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 rheuma atism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, dizzin ess, 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 lad Salts from any phar- macy; take a tablespoonful in 8 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 useo 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.
 lad Salts is inexpensive and cannot injure; makes a delightful efferves- cent litha-water drink which every one should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active and the blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney plications.
