# KIDNEYS AND
BLADDER BOTHER
Take glass of Salts to flush out your
Kidneys and neutralize irri.
tating acids.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder, where
it often remains to irritata and inAame,
causing burning, scalding sensation, or
setting up ali irritation at the neck Of
the bladder, obliging you to seek relief
two or three times during the night.
The sufferer is in constant dread, the
water passes sometimes with scalding
sensation and. is very profuse; again,
there is difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call it,
because they can't control urination.
While it is extremely annoying and some
times very painful, this is really one of
the most simple ailments to overcome.
Get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from your pharmacist and take table
spoonful in glass of water before
breakfast, continue this for two or three
days. This will neutralize the acids in
the urine SO It no longer is source of
irritation to the bladder and urinary or
gans which then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
is used by thousands of folks who are
subject to urinary disorders caused by
uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is splen-
did for kidneys and causes no bad
effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant effervescent
Whitewater drink, which quickly relieves
bladder trouble.

BEGIN HOT WATER
DRINKING IF YOU
DON'T FEEL RIGHT
Says glass Of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
washes out poisons.

If you wake up with bad
taste, bad breath and tongue is
coated; if your head is aching; if
what you eat sours and forms
acid in stomach, or you are bill
lious, constipated, nervous, sal
law and can't get feeling just
right, begin inside bathing.
Drink before breakfast, a glass
Of hot water with a teaspoonful
of limestone phosphate in it. This
will flush the poisons and toxins
from stomach, liver kidneys and
bowels and cleanse, sweeten and
purify the entire alimentary tract.
Do your inside bathing immedi-
ately upon arising in the morning
to wash out Of the system all the
previous days poisonous waste,
gases and sour bile before eat
ing more food.
To feel like young folks feel !;
like you felt before your blood
and muscles became loaded with
body impurities, get froma your
pharmacist a quarter pound of
limestone phosphate, which is in
expensive and almost tasteless.
Men and women who are usual
ly constipated, bilious, headachy
or have any stomach disorder
should begin this inside bathing
before breakfast.

London and men get serious

starving.
Neither of our parties dares to
go into the next election with a
program for large loans to Eur
ope on it's shoulders. Congress is
now debating giving S50,00o,o0c
to Poland for food, but the pro-
gressives are frankly saying that
this will not be used for the Po-
fish people but to keep a Polish
army in the field to attack Rus

and the propaganda now started

how serious our financiers think

Sir Oliver Lodge Here

a visit by Sir Oliver Lodge,
the foremost advocate of what is
known as spiritualism, to the Uni
ted States has awakened consid-
cradle discussion of the subject
here. This Englishman, long
prominent throughout the world
as a great scientist, took up the
question Of possible communica-
ton with spirits of those who
have departed this life several
wears ago. His interest in the
subjec. was probably due more
to the loss OF favorite son than
TO pure scientific interest. Scien-
fists after all are human beings.
Critics Of the new cult declare
that every so-called proof brot
forward so far is entirely ex-
plainable on other grounds and
most of the critics hold that the
mediums work by trickery. The
woman by the name of Paladino,
for instance, through whom Sir
Oliver Lodge has obtained most
of his messages" is said to be
the widow of a famous European
iuggler. She has actually been
saught taking many times, but
Sir Oliver defends his position
with the reply that some of the
proof he has obtained could not
have been faxed.
Whatever the merits of the
question it would appear that
scientists have not carried their
work to the convincing stage
and that ordinary people who
have lost friends and relatives
are likely to be preyed upon by a
host of clever persons claiming
power as mediums. London has
been in something of a craze o.
YER the matter because so many
families there lost members in
the recent war.

The Week
How viii Wheat Go?

Will wheat prices drop when
the government guarantee is re-
moved on June 1? While a proph-
ecy on this matter might be dan
gerous, it might not be out of
place to note some facts of the
case. With the end of the guaran
tee the powers of the grain cor
poration to keep wheat prices
down also ends. Director Barnes
has not only been issuing bear
ish statements on wheat prices
but some of the big moves OF the
CORPORATION have tended to low
err prices.
Our markets have become so
artificial, so little the result OF
supply and demand within GER
tan limits, that the wheat which
the grain combine now holds is a
strong factor against price re-
duction. Is it not reasonable to
suppose that the insiders would
like to bear the market now to
get the farmers hustling IN
their wheat at low prices before
June 1? After that date they
can send the prices up without
government hindrance.
Probably the most important
factor is the way next year S
market is diagnosed. If the price
is going to be forced down by a
bumper crop in early fall farm
ers could not afford to hold. The
spectators will grasp how thing
are going before the farmers do
and the rise after June ! will not
take place.
Our winter wheat acreage has
been cut 100000 acres, not to
mention winter losses. Spring
wheat acreage is due for con-
siderable cut. We will have a big
shortage as compared with 1919,
and if Europe takes anywhere
near normal amounts our prices
will be much higher than those
ruling at present. However, who
can tell what Europe will buy
from us?

Europe's Credit Grows Worse

All the news from Europe
gives evidence of increasing a
larm over the money and bank
ing situation. Alarm there gives
rise to excitement here. Our
treasury department is actually
refusing to make large gold pay
ments, as individuals have a
right to demand when they SUBJ
NIT gold certificates.
In a short time a great inter-
national conference of bankers
and government agents will be
held to find a way out of disaster.
All the governments issued vast
amounts of paper money and
bonds. The total is put at 600 bill
lion dollars. In all countries pri-
vate interests profiteered and
piled up vast amounts of bonds
and watered stock justified at
the time by the war profits. The
owning class now must find a
peace-time income to carry all
this capitalization or there must
be q smash.
Banks and other fiduciary in.
stitutions, as we'll as the large
capitalists, are loaded with thi.
paper, which has no value wher
it has no income. CONCEIVABLE,
the greater income needed nigh
be squeezed out of the workin,
classes, but this policy pursued
up to the present has produce,

the government in its efforts to
protect law and order, for our
government is one of laws and
not of men, and our problems
can and should be worked out
with due regard for laws and the
Constitution. Yet | would advise
the ex-service men to take moro
than passive interest in these
matters and to actively place
themselves on the side Of consti-
tuted authority. From what
know of their records overseas
am convinced that they will do
so, and will prove steadying in
fluence to any community in
which they may live.
Yours very sincerely.

General Pershinp is among tn,

General Pershing is among the
large number of persons in liber-
al and progressive groups who
have said a good word in favor of
law and order and consequently
a strong word against those who
would resort to mob violence, in
timidation and frameups against
those of different opinions.
The commander of our expedi-
tionary forces in France has
written the editor of the Seat
tie Union Record as follows:
II have received your letter of
January 20, asking for my views
on the attitude which should be
taken by the exservice men in
any campaign against the spread
of bolshevism and radicalism in
our country.

lions, should stand firm behind

Political Costumers

The leopard may not be able
to change his spots, but let no
one suppose that the special priv
ilege wolf is a leopard. New dis
guises are favorite method
both in state and national poll
tics. The cliques which organized
the Infamous Security league,
for Instance, have formed no less
than four other national organi-
cations since that league and it's
successors fell into disrepute
The latest disguise is the United
Americans.
Nonpartisan league farmers in
the Northwest have to meet new
organizations of the same forces
as quickly as they discredit the
one temporarily in public view.
Good government leagues. In
dependent Voters associations,
Citizens Economic leagues, A
merica First associations, Loyal
American clubs, Stars and Stri-
pes leagues, American Anti-Bol-
shevist associations, Business
Mems alliances, have all been
strutting on the stage in the list
three years in the Northwest.
Now the Sound Government as
ISOLATION has been brought forth
by the same political actors. Re-
ports have it that special inter
ests in Minnesota will raise at
least $1,0oo,o0o for the new in
FAINT to play with. 1t is so much
a machine proposition that the
st. Paul Pioneer Press was able
to announce it's officers two
hours before it's first meeting
had named a nominating commit
tee.
If there were a bounty on the
hides of such organizations the
Nonpartisan league farmers
could run their activities without
paying dues.
