If the conferees of the senate and
house do not arrive at a satisfac-
tory solution of the railway bill puz-
zle, it will not be for lack of advice,
expert and inexpert. All sorts of or
CARNATIONS have been taking a whack
at it, and all of them are directly in
terested. The American Federation
of Labor, the foul railway brother
hoods and ten railway shopmen's
unions affiliated with the federation
got together in Washington and told
what they wished, what they hoped
for and what they would not counte
nance. In the first place, they de-
clared themselves in favor of two
years more of government operation
of the railways, in d to give the
principle of government ownership a
real test. They realized that the re-
turn of the roads to their owners on
March 1 is now a certainty, but gave
notice that they will make government
ownership a political issue in the fu-
ture. AS for the pending legislation,
they declared themselves against the
anti-strike feature and the penalty
pIoNlSlolIS uBhiHot tCdslnS "oih, Nv
in favor of the features which END to
establish better relations between the
employees and the carriers, and urged
that these features be- extended to the
sleeping car and Pullman company
employees. The railway shopmen
already have voted to strike if con-
gress adopts the Cummins anti-strike
provision, and it is believed the broth
erhoods might adopt the same course.
Next, the American Bankers asso-
citation told what it considered neces-
sary to rehabilitate the impaired cred
1t of the roads. 1t favors the speedy
return to private ownership; the vol
untary but not compulsory consolida-
ton of railroad properties; permissive
federal incorporation; exclusive regu-
lation and control of the issue of
stocks and bonds by railroads and wa
ter common carriers by II federal
board a government guarantee to the
roads for six months after the end of
federal control, of net operating in
come equal to the standard return for
the same period during federal con-
troll; and an extension of the carriers
u~utDItulieSS W IHe government loE
capital expenses to run serially for
from ten to twenty years. All these
features are in either the Cummins or
the Esch bill, and some of them are
in both.
Another group vitality interested in
the railway legislation is the ship
pers, and these gentlemen, at a nation
al conference in Chicago, besides rec
ommending higher rates for the roads,
adopted resolutions in substance as
follows:
1--WE are opposed to the creation of
n transportation board as provided in
the Cummins bill.
"We oppose the appropriation by the
government of the excess earnings of
a railroad company.
"We oppose the scheme of ratemak-
ing groups and Standardization of
earnings therein as provided for in the
Cummins bill.

ton of the railroads and the division
of the country into rate groups as pro-
vided in the Cummins bill.

QUIT MEAT WHEN
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take a Glass of Salts if Your Back
Hurts or Bladder Troubles You.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally, says a
well-known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which excites the kidneys,
they become over worked from the
strain, get sluggish and fail to filter
the waste and poisons from the blood,
then we get sick Nearly all rheuma-
tism, headaches, liver trouble, ner-
vousness, digginess, sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache
in the kidneys or your back hurts
or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full
of sediment, irregular of passage or
attended by a sensation of scalding,
stop eating meat and get about four
ounces Of Jad Salts from any pharm-
acy; axe a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast and in few
day your kidneys will 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 the
kidneys, also to neutralize the acids
in urine SO it no longer causes irrita-
ton, thus ending bladder weakness
Jad salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes a delightful effer-
vescent Whitewater drink which every
one should take now and then to keep
the kidneys clean and active and the
blood pure, thereby avoiding serious
kidney complications.
