OLD AGE STARTS
WITH YOUR KIDNEYS

weakened kidneys and digestive organs.
This being true, it is easy to believe
that by keeping the kidneys and d.
gestive organs cleansed and in proper
working order old age can be deferred
and life prolonged far beyond that en-
joyed by the average person.

HOOVER SHOWS SPIRIT
Refuses to Confer With Germans

Answers Request for Meeting In: Style
Worthy Of Steamboat
Captain. 49,. s.: -.

Washington. Dec. 2S.-Food Admin
istrator Hoover, in Europe, arranging
relief for the peoples of the war dev-
astated territories, has refused in en-
phatic terms to discuss German food
conditions with Baron Won der Lanck-
On and DR.. Rfth, who sought meeting
with the food administrator. :,
A message from Paris said these
two German officials, who were promi-
nent in the German, administration Of
Belgium, wired from Berlin to Walter
Lyman Brown, director of the. com.
mission for relief in Belgium, at Rot
terdam, that they had been appointed
by the German government to negoti.
ate with Mr.. Hoover for food supplies
and that they desired Mr.. Hoover to
advise them when and where he would
meet them.
In answer to the request for a con-
ference, Mr.. Hoover sent this mes
sage:
You can describe two and a half
years of arrogance toward ourselves
and cruelty to the Belgians in any
language you may select and tell the
pair personally to go to hell with my
compliments. If I do have to deal
with Germans, it will not be with that
pair"
