REDUCTION IN PRICE
BRINGS COPPER SALE

New York, Feb. 6.-Ten million
pounds of COPPER was sold here today
by large and small selling agencies
when the former reduced the price
from % to 1S 3-S cents a pound with
small lots selling as low as 18 cents,
according to conservative estimates
in market circles. While the trading
signing of the armistice, paved the
way for an open market, was not
heavy, copper dealers asserted that
it marked the beginning of business
On a peace scale.
THE abandonment of the % cent
price, which in December succeeded
the rate of &c cents agreed upon for
the war period by the producers and
the government, was coincident with
an announcement in Butte, Montana,
that the big copper companies had
conformity with the understanding
! between miners and employers that
pay would be based upon the selling
price of the commodity. The two
reductions were regarded as signific-
ant, in view of the statement at a
conference of miners and Depart
ment of Labor officials at Washington
in the early part of the week that
the sudden termination of the war
had left the country with a stock Of
one billion bounds, in contrast to an
less than 100, 900, 900 pounds a year
iago.
AS far as could be learned, the
new price applied only to domestic
business, the copper export, %associa-

MEAT CAUSE OF
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys
if Back Hurts or Blad-
der Bothers.

If you must have your meat every
day. eat it. 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 efforts
to expel it from the blood. They be-
come sluggish and weaken, then you
suffer with a dull misery in the kid
ney region, sharp pains in the back or
sick headache, dizziness, your stom-
ach sours, tongue is coated and when
the weather lis bad you have rheu-
matte twinges. The urine gets
cloudy, full Of sediment, the channels
often get sore and irritated, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the body's urinous waste get four
ounces Of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy 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
n%eutralize, the acids in urine, so it no
longer i%rritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure, and makes a delightful effer-
vescent lithia-water drink.
