FAT LESS MEAT
 + BACK HURTS Take a glass of Salts to Flush Kidneys if bladder
 bothers you

Eating meat regularly eventually pro- duces kidney trouble in some form or other, says a well known authority, be- cause the uric acid in meat excites sthe kidneys, they become overworked; get sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of distress, particularly backache and mis- cry in the kidney region; rheuma tic twinges, severe headaches. acid etom- ach constipation, torpid liver, sleep- lessness, bladder and urinary irritation
 The moment your back hurts or kid neys aren't acting right, or if bladder bothers you, get about four ounces of lad Salts from any good pharmacy; take tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for 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 genera tions to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity; also to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer irritates. thus ending bladder disorders.
 lad Salts cannot injure anyone; makes a delightful effervescent Hthia- water drink which millions of men and women take now and then to keep the kidneys and urinary organs clean. thus avoiding serious kidney disease--AdY.

THE STAKES OF PEACE By Frank C. Carpenter

ure they never more will be allowed in 1 the hands of the Germans.
 Germany practiced the same methods ir acquiring this property that she has used throughout the great war in Eu- rope. She had long cast covetous eyes on the harbors Of the eastern Pacific. and the killing in a riot of two German misSf onarieS was her excuse to wreSt this region from China. It did not matter that the missionaries belonged to a sect which had been driven out of Prussia. The Kaiser adopted their ghosts and sent three German gunboats to demand repar- ation. The squadron was under the com mand of Prince Henry, now plain Henry Hohenzollern, the brother of w. Hohen- zolern, now interned in Holland: and when it left Kiel the Kaiser made a fare well speech. saying he sent it forth as the mailed fist of Germany" When Prince Henry arrived in I<iauchau bay he demanded the lease of Tsingtau and the neighboring district for a period of go years, and little later on. the region was declared a German protectorate The power of the Kaiser grew. and Ger man kultur was rapidly introduced At the time of the boxer rebellion when in combination with the other nations he sent his troops to China. he gave them or utTS 10 spare no one ana to fndhe no prisoners" The foreign office of Germany changed these orders, but when the trouble was over they sent a telegraphic note to China saying that the German government considered the delivering up and punishment of the men responsible for the outrages as indispensable to any negotiations of peace.
 If the same rule were followed to- day, the Kaiser, the leaders 'of he junkers and the krupps and other capitalists who financed the present war would have to be hanged before the peace conference could go on.
 It was in this way that the Kaiser the forced treaty was signed was the 9th of March 1898: He did not let the grass grow under his feet. A force Of engineers was sent to the aid of the army Kiauchau bay was surveyed, and the greater part of the Shantung peninsula practically raken over by the Germans. Engineers were sent back into the interior and the whole province of Shantung, a territory as large as Illinois, with a population al most one-third that of the United States, was claimed the sphere of German influence and trade.
 The Kaiser then ordered the inn provemept of the harbor and the building of the town of Tsingtau. The bay of Kiauchau is about the best in north China. It is broad expanse of water on the southern coast of the Shantung peninsula, which juts out between the Gulf of Pechili on the north and the Yellow sea on the south It is backed by hills and the entrance

pulled by men On the great plain they are often aided on their way by sails held over the barrow by poles fastened to the bed. Not infrequently a donkey is hitched to the front of the barrow, thus aiding the two-legged human animal without feathers who pushes behind The chief trouble in mining this coal is that some of the mines are bedded in water and when sunk more than 200 feet from the surface they require pumps. This made them impossible of further exploita- tton by the Chinese. The Germans have introduced the best of modern machinery and have been taking out the coal by modern methods.
 The mineral resources of Shantung are said to be large. There are four known coal fields, but none has been intensive ly explored. There are also deposits of copper, iron and silver, and diamonds of considerable size have been found. The province has some gold. It has beds of sheet mica and veins and beds of asbestos.
 The great value of German China is it's agriculture and human resources. Of the 3o000.000 or 10000, 600 inhabitants of Shan tung fully nine-tenths are farmers who ra ise wheat, millet sorghum and Indian corn They also raise peanuts. beans and sweet potatoes. The wheat is cultiya ted with the hoe and carefully cared for The people appreciate the value of In- dian corn, and it is believed that a mar ket for our corn might there be created.
 The Germans realized the possibilities of this market and had developed it until they reached a total of exports and im- ports of $50,O0O,000 a year. The chief i'm ports are raw cotton, cotton goods and cotton yarn, metals, paper, sugar and matches The chief exports are straw w braid. silk, peanut and bean oil and pongee silks
 The center of trade is at Tsinanfu. This is the capital and principal city of the interior It is 250 miles from Tsingtau, where the railroad built by the Germans joins the railroad run ming from Tentsin, south to the Yangtse river. The latter road con- meets Tsingtau with Shanghai and Tien- tsin and is over 500 miles long. Tsinanfu has now 100000 inhabitants, and it is growing faster than any of our boom cities. It has quadrupled in size since the Germans came and it's population will be doubled again within 10 years Tsinanfu is the distributing center for a region embracing tens of millions of people. and the Germans had run their trade lines out in every direction They packed their goods so that they could be shipped easily by wheelbarrows or in carts and on donkeys. The city inn ports great deal of American coal oil. and it is a splendid market for analine and synthetic indigo dyes. Sewing ma chimes and needles are in demand, and the Singer company, an American firm, is now selling 2000 sewing machines there every year. It's sales 10 years ago were only 100 a year. It maintains free sew ing schools among the Chinese and ad vertises extensively. It would pay other American industries to do likewise

ENGLISH OFFICER
 TALKS IN GERMAN Quickly Shows Captain of Hun Vessel How to En-

Bv Associated Press

London, December 1S-One British naval officer showed a German naval captain how to handle his undiscip- lined sailors during the surrender of the German warShipS to the allied fleet off the Firth of Forth.
 It is related that when the British officer boarded German battleship to make the official examination he found numbers of German sailors loll- ing about in the captains lobby and some of them making themselves very much at home in the captains cabin. Many were wearing armlets inscribed "Soldaten und Arbeter," indicating their allegiance to the soldiers and workers councils which brought about the revolution.
 You will need an explanation. sir, for my presence here" said the Ger man captain approaching the English man. You see how things are.'
 You will please converse with me in your own language" replied the British officer, returning the salute. You will also order these men out of these quarters before we do anything else"
 What would be the good to com mand them?" asked the German.
 'Very we'll" snapped the Britisher as he swung around. Look here, you men, he thundered in German. 'If have any more of this insubordination, I'll put all of you in irons. Attention,"
 Every man sprang to his feet. Cigars and cigarettes disappeared and the talking ceased.
 Fall in there.'' ordered the Brtisher. And you"-he indicated a petty of ficer-"you take these men away. And clear the lobby, too. See that they be- have themselves, or I'll know the req son why. That'Il do. Carry on.''
 The petty officer stiffened, saluted and rapped out a word of command. In a moment the cabin was cleared.
