BIG EATERS GET
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take Salts at first sign of Bladder
irritation or Back ache.

The American men and women
must guard constantly against
Kidney trouble, because we eat
too much and all our food is rich.
Our blood is filled with uric acid
which the kidneys strive to filter
out, they weaken from over-work,
become sluggish; the eliminative
tissues clog and the result is kid
ney trouble, bladder weakness
and general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like
Jumps Of lead; your back hurts
or the urine is cloudy, full Of
sediment or you are obliged to
seek relief two or three times
during the night; if you suffer
with sick headache, or you have
rheumatism when the weather is
bad, get from your pharmacist a
bout four ounces of Jad Salts;
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
generations to flush and stimu-
late clogged kidneys; to neutra-
lie the acids in the urine so it
no longer is a source Of irritation
thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; can
not injnre, makes delightful
effervescent Whitewater bever-
age, and belongs in every home
because nobody can make mis-
take by having good kidney
flushing any time.

BILLION AND HALF POUNDS
OF FOOD STORED WHILE
PACKERS MAKE PROFITS
Government Could Reduce Cost Of
Living in Plan Suggested by Con-
gresham to War Department
(By A. Il. Geldhof.)

Washington, June 24,-While Sec
retary of War Baker defends the
holding in storage of millions oil
pounds of canned meats owned by
the army, in the ground that there Ia
mo way to dispose of them TO the
public" members of Congress have
evolved a plan to sell this enormous
supply of food to the public at cost
to help cut down the high cost OF
living.
The plan provides for the shipment
of the goods by parcel post to who
ever wants to buy.
Representatives Daniel Reed Of
New York and J. Hampton Moore oil
Pennsylvania are preparing a bill or
dering the War Department to place
their surplus supplies, not orly Of
food but Of clothing, ETC., on sale i'm
mediate1y, through the parcel post
They are proceeding on the theory
that Congress appropriated the mon.
ey for the purchase Of these supplies
and can therefore direct the method
by which they shall be disposed of.
The people, they maintain, paid for
the supplies by purchasing Liberty
Bonds, and have a right to buy them

RATIFYING SUFFRAGE

The Literary Digest has made in
uuiry of newspaper editors at the
State capitals as to what their re-
spective States might be expected to
DO with the suffrage amendment,
adopted by House and Senate, and
soon to be put to the State Legisla-
lures. 1t appears that in thirty-one
States there is every prospect of rati-
fication. Eight are expected to re-
fuse to ratify. These are Connecti-
cut, Maryland, Virginia, South Caro-
lima, Georgia, Mississippi Alabama
and Louisiana.
The contest therefore, will be to
get five favorable States out of the
remaining nine which are doubtful,
namely, Texas, Florida, Kentucky
North Carolina West Virginia, New
Jersey, Massachusetts, Rhode Island
and New Hampshire.
If the antis should be able to
swing five of these-and il all the
other predictions come true-they
could force the whole difficult bust.
ress to be done over again. This Is
hardly likely. Previously the wet
forces were almost solid against suf-
fIage, because they believed and
rightly, that suffrage would lead to
prohibition. Now that the country Is
going dry anyhow, the wet armies
have been pretty we'll demoh.lized,
and their fight lacks point even where
it still exists. This is expected to
make the difference in Ohio, for ex-
ample, which turned down suffrage
twice within the last few years.

sitions, and there seems little reason
in prolonging the struggle. Each
time it grows easier, as public opinion
develops; but why waste energy try

(By Associated Press.)

London, June 24.--Profound dis
trust of Germany is the predominant
note in the London press comment on
Germany's decision to sign the peace
treaty. It is contended that the Ger
mans proved themselves treacherous
throughout the war, the latest in
stance being the sinking, of the feet
and therefore 1t would be premature
to celebrate peace until the treaty Il
actually signed. Even afterward, It
is said, the Allies must be continual-
ly on guard until the last penalty ID

"We have used the postoffices OF
this country during the war for vari-
Gus purposes said Representative
Reed in an interview for the ably
Metropolis, "for recruiting and dis
tributing propaganda, and we have
used the parcel post to help reduce
the cost Of living,
why would 1t not be possible to

sumers through the medium of the

"The consumers have paid fos these

Of saving the ships in good condi,

rives before bad weather sets in. Two
lestroyers are afioat and eighteen

no prospect of saving the other de-

ned meats is already simplilied for the
War Department because the supplies
are not stored all in one place, but are
located in the following cities, scat
tered between the two coasts:
Chicago, Columbus, Schenectady, New
Cumberland, Newport News, Baltt-
more, Omaha. New Orleans, Boston.
San Antonio, New York, st. Louis, El
Paso, Atlanta, San Francisco
Orders for the goods can be filled
he says from the city nearest the
home of the consumer sending in the
order
Another reason given by Secretary
Baker is that the meats are packed
in containers with which lhe public
is unfamiliar; that there are no
pretty red and green labels ON the
cans, etc. This, 1t is admitted, might
be valid reason If the goods were
placed on shelves in retail stores.
But Congressman Reed holds that it
has no weight when applied to goods
shipped by parcel post.
ITS the food at low prices that the
people want-not the fancy cans he
says.
He expects that farmers would be
the heaviest purchasers of the can
ned goods if they were put on the
market via the postoffice, and farmers
are accustomed to buying in larger
quantities than city people, and care
little what kind of cans their goods
come in.
