Winnipeg, Man., April 29.-One of the oldest anniversaries on the North American continent will be celebrated here in pageants beginning May 5. It is the 250th anniversary of the found ing of the Hudson Bay Company.
 Sir Robert Kindersley, G. B. E., latest of the line of Hudson Bay company governors that began with Prince Rupert, of the House of Stuart in the Cromwellian Wars, visitor from England will take part in the pageant on the Red River here and in the subsequent street pageants which will be held excessively in Ed monton, Calgary, Vancouver and Vic toria.
 The Red River pageant will start from the site of old Fort Garry, early capital of the companys once vast empire and about which Winnipeg grew, and pass down stream eighteen miles to Lower Fort Garry. It will include Cree Indians from Hudson Bay; Swanpy Crees from James Bay; Ojibways from Lake Superior, Plain Crees from northern Saskatchewan; Blackfeet, Piegans and Assiniboines from the prairies and the Rocky mountains and tribesmen from Atha- based and British Columbia
 Sir Robert and his entourage will make the trip in old-time North canoes. A f1oti1Ia of freight boats piled high with furs will trail in the;J wake in charge of factors and trap pers in pioneer costumes
 When he reaches Lower Fort Garry, Governor Kindersley will seal anew the ancient friendship between the Redmen and the company by smoking the calumet of peace, a pipe, specially designed for the occasion.

EAT LESS MEAT
 IF BACK HURTS
Take a glass of Salts to Flush Kidneys if bladder
 bothers you.

Eating meat regularly eventually produces kidney trouble in some form or other, says a well known authority, because the uric acid in meat excites the kidneys, they become overwork- ed; get sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of distress, particularly back ache and misery in the kidney region; rheumatic twinges, severe headaches, acid stomach, constipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and urt- nary irritation
 The moment your back hurts or kidneys 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 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 Hthia, and has been used for generations 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 dis orders
 lad Salts cannot inture anyone; makes a delightful effervescent 1ithia- water drink which millions of men ] and women take now and then tc keep the kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus avoiding serious kidney disease.-Adv.

NOT A CHANCE FOR
!. KAISER TO return
Germans. Are. Through
With Man They Used
to Worship.
BY FRANK w. RosTocK,

editor Cincinnati Post, N. q. A. Cor
respondent in Europe.)
BREMEN, Germany, Jan. 3.-WheI
i visited former Crown Prince Will
helm at Wirigen late in November he
remarked to me:
"I hope to return to Germany some
day as private citizen, to live and
work on my estate and help rebuild
Germany"
Despite reports to the contrary,
which insist that either the former
kaiser or the former crown prince will
be returned as leader OF the German
people, investigation among all class
es in Germany indicates that there
isn't chance of either ever being re-
stored to power.
The people OF Germany have not
forgotten how, in that falef1ll time, in
November, 1918, after Germany had
German army suddenly crumbled, the
people at home revolted-and the
kaiser and the crown prince fled to
Holland.
Are Dissatisfied With the Government
That does not mean that Germany
is satisfied with its present form OF
government Il have talked to people
of all kinds. Almost to man they
voiced their dissatisfaction with the
present government.
Franz Ebert, president of the Ger
man republic, is regarded by many al
most as a nonentity; people make
sport of him in their talk in public
and private; politicians belittle him
and his officials, and everywhere one
hears how Ebert and the Ebert form
of government will melt away after
the spring elections.
Germany refers to the former
kaiser as "the man who ran away. "
1t speaks in like tone of the former
crown prince, who also ran away.
A former captain in the German
army expressed the sentiment Oh
many Germans when he said to me:
81 am not a Bolshevlst. still have
q liking for the old-time form OF gov
eminent, somewhat modified. But the
kaiser and the crown prince cannot
come back. Aztec thousands, yes,
millions of Germans had given their
lives-their ALTO their fatherlard
and had fought for the kaiser and the
crown prince, there came the time
