URIC ACID IN MEAT
CLOGS THE KIDNEYS
Take O glass Of Salts if your Back hurts
or bladder bothers you-Drink
more water.
Mr.. Jake Goldman,
Ocala, Florida,

If you must have your meat every day,
eat il, 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 iTritated,
obliging you TO seek relief two or thr'-c
time during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acils, 20
cleanse the kidneys and flush off 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
oder weakness.
ad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in

lithia-water drink.

Senator d. u. Fletcher, who is to
be the guest of Leesburg today, ar
rived in the city last night on the
late train from Jacksonville. Mr..
Fletcher comes here to look at the
Oklawaha, for the pending improve
ment of which he is largely respon-
sible, his vigilance and energy dur
ing the last days of the 65th Con-
gress keeping the necessary appro-
priation in the rivers and harbors
BILL In a brief interview with Star
reporter, Mr.. Fletcher said that he
had no doubt of the ability of himself
and the other Florida members to
keep the work going on provided the
people would get busy and put more
commerce on the stream. Senator
Fletcher goes to Leesburg today, to
meet the people of that enterprising
town, who at big banquet this eve
ming will try to express some of
their appreciation for the good work
he does not only for this section and
state but all the country. He will re-
main in Florida until the president
calls Congress in session, which is
bound to be by the first of June, if not
sooner. Mr.. Fletcher is working
senator. He is not responsible for
any congressional sins of omission.
When many other senators were try
ing to make political capital by long
winded speeches, last February, he
was hard at work trying to finish up
the business of the session, and if all
Il
as he public affairs would not be in
such muddle today. Senator Flet-
cher has steadily supported the adj
ministration, and he believes the
league of nations viii win in the
Senate despite the opposition that
has been manifested

There may be some truth in the re-
port that a wealthy northern woman
has offered to finance bolshevist agi-
tation among the negroes of the
South. There are yet few south
haters in the North who would be
glad to turn the South into another
Hayti. Unless the Star is greatly
mistaken, however, very few of our
coIored people would have anything
TO do with anything that looked like
treason to the national government.

Cats wants an 18.O00-acre expert
ment farm in the everglades. With
a 13,000-acre farm at Raiford and an
experiment farm at Gainesville, it
looks to the Star like overtaxed Flor
ida has all the state farms it can pay
for. For some reason, probably best
known to himself, the governor is
more solicitious about the everglades
than any other part of the state.

Gov. Cats gives another proof of
his extraordinary tenderness for the
everglades (or the syndicates that
own everglades lands) by his recon.
nendations for fire guards in the
glades. Thousands of dollars worth
of property all over the state are de-
stroyed by forest fires every year.
Why guards in the everglades only?

Senator Fletcher has been a steady
subscriber to the Star for over half a

the same channel for Senator Fletcher

thing.

New York, Dec. 31.-Silk pajamas
to back up a sleep walking alibi
were part of the equipment carried
by Harry Edward Shelley, self
styled soldier, actor and lecturer,
and Maurice j. Gray. who were
brought before Magistrate Corrigan

further examination on charges of
robbing guests of some of New
Hork's biggest hotels of jewels, furs
and other valuables worth thousa nds
of dollars.
Detectives OF the West Thirtieth

the pair say that pajamas were used
by Shelley and Gray to dress the
act when they feared interruption
in some raid on a hotel guests room.
If caught in the room or sneaking
along a corridor they would be able

AUSTRIA FACES
CRITICAL YEAR
Both Political and Economic
Situations Have Grown
Worse

Vienna. Dec. 31.--The Austrian
republic faces its second year with
foreboding. Both the political and
economic situations are believed
here to have grown daily worse since
early Autumn.
= The holiday. season found Vienna
with a reduced bread ration, virtu-
ally no fats and without fuel. The
expected supply of coal from Cze-
cho-Slovakia has not been received
and public utilities were kept partly
in operation only by great efforts
and economies.
High hopes had been entertained
from the visit of Chancellor Renner
to the Supreme Council at Paris.
The people expected that Austria
would obtain sufficient credit, food,
fuel and raw material for the re-
sumption of their industrial life.
NOW that the result of his journey
mas become known the newspapers
sound note of despair. One of
them remarks that the decision of
the Supreme Council that Vorarl-
oerg may not separate from Austria
means that that province is con-
demned to suffer along with the rest
OF Austria until the ordinary native
VIII have hardly sufficient for food
and clothing becomes a luxury for
even the comparatively well-to-do.
Other provinces are seeking to
free themselves from the burdens of
Austria and turn elsewhere for help
There have been rumors of an i'm
pending revolt and declaration of
independence in Tyrol. 1t is charg-
ed in some quarters that the whole
separation movement in the, Aus
trian provinces has been inspired by
German propaganda with view to
establishing corridor between Ger
many and Austria.
While Austria seems unable to OBJ
tain foreign credit for rehabilita-
ton, there has been much comment
here upon the fact that foreign
private capital has been diligently
exploiting the country. 1t is as
serted that the country has virtually
been stripped of articles deluxe
while its remaining factories are un-
able to obtain raw materials. Ac-
cording to common report, foreign
interests, principally Italian, have
acquired enormous holdings of stock
in Austrian industrials and mines.
The government is evenly bal
anced between Socialists and Con-
servatives and thus far has been un-
able to give birth to constructive
legislation looking to the solution Of
many internal problems facing the
country.

He Is Charged With
Causing the Death of
Seven More Persons
BY ASsoeiated Press

New York, Dec. 31.-Charged
with selling the liquor responsible
for seven deaths from wood alcohol
poisoning in Passaic, n. J., Lo
Cicero, proprietor of an Elizabeth
street grocery store, was arrested at
his home early to-day. A technical
charge of selling wood alcohol for
beverage purposes has been made
against him.

ure of a barrel of liQuor. five. FIVE
gallon tins of supposed whisky and
two three-gallon bottles, one con-
tanning whisky and the other un-
diluted wood alcohol.
The arrest of Cicero followed
closely after that of Herman Morris
and Frank Hopper, in Passaic last
night. The Passaic police claim that
Cicero sold the poisoned whisky to
Hopper, who sold it to Morris, and
that Morris in turn disposed of it
to Passaic saloonkeepers. Hopper
and Morris were brought to this
city early to-day and identified
Cicero as the man from whom the
liquor was purchased, according to
the police.
