SALTS IF BACKACHY
and KIDNEYS HURT
Drink lots of water and stop eating
meat for a while if your Blad-
der troubles you.

When you wake up with back
aches and dull misery in the kidney
region IL generally means you have
been eating too much meat, says a
well-known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which overworks the kid
neys in their effort to filter IL from
the blood and they become sort of
paralyZed and lOggy. When your
kidneys get sluggish and clog you
must relieve them, like you relieve
your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache. dizzy
is coated, and when the weather is
bad you have rheumatic twinges.
The urine is cloudy, full of sedi-
ment, channels often get sore, water
scalds and you are obliged to seek
relief two or three times during the
night.
Either consult a good, reliable
physician at once or get from your
pharmacist about four ounces o,
Jad Salts; take a 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
generations to- clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize
acids in the urine so il no longer
irritates. thus ending bladder weak
ness.

lar meat eaters. It is inexpensive,

PROMINENT OFFICIALS
VOICE SENTIMENTS
ON CONGRESS- ACTION
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE


Congress. l believe most as
suredly this fund should have
been appropriated at this
time.
VI. o. Chance City Postmaster-It
was scandalous that the appropria-
ton did not pass. I can't help but
believe that II We had representa-
ton in Congress this might have
been averted.
Cuno H. Rudolph. president of the
Second National Bank-very unfor-
tunate both for the men and for
washington. 1t seems to me that
the Commissioners would be author
lied to declare the situation an emer-
gency and make available for this
use the fund which l believe is called
the Emergency Fund" and which I
have no reason to believe is not
active now. Several times in the
past 1t has been used. I feel that
this present situation would warrant
such an action. Something must be
done and done quickly.
A Leftwich Sinclair. a director of
the Chamber of Commerce: TT may
possibly be that the legislative sit
uation in the stress of the closing
days of Congress may have been
such that no one member of Con-
Gress could have found relief for
the situation which confronts the
District today.
The fact remains, however, that
every other community in the
United States except Washington
has one man with direct RESPONSE
bility for the welfare of the citi-
zens in that locality.
The responsibility for the welfare
OF Washington as a city is neither
individual or direct. 1t is a divided
responsibility with no authority to
question dereliction.
1T seems to me another irrefut-
able argument why we should in
all fairness have representation ia
both branches of Congress"
P. T. Moran, former president of
the Chamber of Commerce:
The only expression of dissatis-
faction available for a situation
like this is through the press.
The utter helplessness OF more
than 100000 people is manifest
There should be responsible repre-
sentatives in Congress, whose fun
damental duty should be to safe
guard the interests of the residents
of Washington.
Again it has been shown how
we suffer by lack of representation.
How many more occasions like this
must arise before Congress will
grant justice?
The American colonists fought
against taxation without represen-
tation. We are waging a civic
fight for the same principle. 1t
must win in the end because It
is predicated upon simple Justice" Il"
Attorney NJ. NJ. Mcnamara: Only
in Washington could a situation
like this arise. other communities
elect officials whose particular duty
it is to see that the city has enough
money to meet its running ex-
penses. If they don't see to it they
get their answer at the polls.
What works out effectively in every
other part of the country might
well be applied here. Situations
like the present one would then be
impossible"

HOTEL WATERS
CAIN DEMANDS
Possibility Of Strike Fades
as Employers Meet
Wage Request.

Possibilities of a walters strike in
Washington went glimmering again
last night following a special meeting
OF the local walters union, at which
it was announced that managers of
two Washington hotels had agreed to
recommend most of the demands of
the union to associate hotel men in the
city at meeting to be called today.
The walters are demanding a weekly
pay day. a raise in the wage scale
from $50 per month to $50, and a nine
hour working day instead of the pres
ent ten-hour day.
At a conference yesterday afternoon
between representatives of the union
and the hotel men the latter told the
union. according to Max Holder, chair
man for the conference for the union,
that the points for which the union
was fighting would be recommended
with the exception OF the weekly pay
day and the increase in wages, al
ready promised.

$4,000 LEAVE
SOUTH FOR PAY
Colored Laborers Get Bet
ter Wages in North Dur
ing War Period.

The South lost $4,000 Of its colored
iaboreys during the war because of
high wages in the North, special in
vestigations Of the Department of La
Dor showed.
The estimate of migration to the
North shows that 10000 left the
Southern cotton fields during eighteen
months in 1916 and 1917, and oficiais
are confident that 10000 more came
during 1918.
Investigators estimate that between
q. 900 and 1000 colored men left Geor-
gia in 1916 and 1917, and the number
leaving Alabama during the same
time is estimated at 5000. State off,
cials, however, made higher esti-
mates. placing the number who left
Georgia at 5000. Alabama, 5000 and
Mississippi, 10000.
Lack Of labor in the North, due to
the cessation of immigration and war
demands, was the principal cause,
the investigators agree.
Large Numbers were attracted by
letters from their friends who had
already gone North. the investigators
reported.

kEATINC Plan
IMPRACT|CABLE.
Engineer Leighton Says
Join Great Falls to
Steam Plants.

The Keating water power bill. which
died with the adjournment Of Con-
gress, was declared impracticable by
Marchelow Leighton. chairman Ma
tional Service Committee Of the En-
gineering Council. in an address last
night before the Washington Society
of Engineers at the Cosmos Club.
THE Langfett report. which is the
basis upon which estimates were
made" asserts Mr.. Leighton. leaves
the cost Of maintaining steam power
entirely out"
Mr.. Leighton stated that in his
mind the only way to make profitable
use of the Great Falls water power
was to connect it with the steam
power plants on the Atlantic Coast.
When the Great Falls plant was capa-
BILE of running to capacity, the steam
plants would be shut down. thereby
saving a large amount of coal and
providing time to make repairs upon
machinery.

that he probably would return to this

Some Of those who signed the aena-
torial round robin" were OF the opin-
ion that 1t might be planned to send
the drafted amendments over to
President Wilson to be suggested by
him to the Peace Conference.
1t was suggested by Senator Hitch
cock in talking with newspaper men
that signing of the round robin" may

sition rather than weaken 1t, as II

to criticize Congress. but citizens
who are awakened to the serious
condition which confronts the city
pointed out it was another unan-
swerable argument why residents of
the District should have the vote.
Not one voice was raised in the
closing days of Congress to point
out that the city would feel the
pinch of poverty in maintenance of
essential activities through failure
of Congress to act. While members
of Congress brought up pet bills un-
der a suspension of the rules in the
