SALTS If BACKACHY
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Stop Eating Meat for While II
Your Bladder Is Troubling
You.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region it
generally means you have been eating
too much meat, says a well-known au-
thority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys In their effort
to filter it from the blood and they be-
come sort of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them, like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache. sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine Is
cloudy, full Of sediment, channels
often get sore, water scalds and you
are obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult good, reliable physi-
elan at once or get from your pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass Of
water before breakfast for 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 clean and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
neutralize acids in the urine SO it no
longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes delightful, effer-
vescent Whitewater drinl.-Adv.

of the responsibility for action which
| have been contemplating and which
can now take without hesitation as
| it meets your wishes.
Ihave the honor, therefore, to tender
you my resignation as Secretary OF
| State, the same to take effect at your
convenience.
In thus severing our official associa-
ton feel, Mr.. President, that should
make the following statement which
had prepared recently and which will
show you that have not been unmind-
| full that the continuance OF our present
relations was impossible and that
realized that 1t was clearly my duty to
bring them to an end at the earliest
moment compatible with the public in
terest.
Ever since January, 1919, have
been conscious Of the fact that you
no longer were disposed to welcome
my advice in matters pertaining to the
negotiations in Paris, to our foreign
service, or to International affairs in
general. Holding these views, / would,
If had consulted my personal inclina-
ton alone, have resigned as Secretary
Of State and as commissioner to
negotiate peace. felt, however, that
such step might have been misin-
terpreted both at home and abroad,
and that it was my duty to cause you
no embarrassment in carrying forward
the great task in which you were then
engaged. Possibly erred in this, but
If did, it was with the best of mo-
tives.
DEFERRED BY LOYALTY.
When returned to Washington in
the latter part Of July, 1919, my per
sonal wish to resign had not changed,
but again l felt that loyalty to you
and my duty to the Administration
compelled me to defer action, as my
resignation might have been miscon-
strued into hostility to the ratification
of the treaty of peace or at least into
disapproval of your views as to the
form of ratification. / therefore re-
manned silent, avoiding any comment
on the frequent reports that we were
not in full agreement. Subsequently
your serious illness, during which |
have never seen you, imposed upon me
the duty-at least I construed it to be
my duty-to remain in charge Of the
Department of State until your health
permitted you to assume again full di-
rection of foreign affairs.
Believing that that time had arrived,
had prepared my resignation, when
my only doubt as to the propriety of
placing it in your hands was removed
by your letter indicating that it would
be entirely acceptable to you.

DENIES FoRESTALLING
JUDGMENT.

| also feel, Mr. President, that can
dor compels me to say that l cannot
agree with your statement that have
tried to forestall your Judgment in
certain cases by formulating action
and merely asking your approval
when it was impossible for you to
form an independent Judgment be-
cause you had not had an opportunity
to examine the circumstances with
any degree of independence. / have,
it is true, when l thought case de-
manded immediate action, advised
you what in my opinion. that action

l have followed the practice for the
last four years and half | confess
that | have been surprised and dis
appointed at the frequent disapproval
of my suggestions, but l have never
failed to follow your decisions, how
ever difficult it made the conduct of
our foreign affairs.
l need hardly add that l leave the
office of Secretary of State with only
good will toward you, Mr. President,
and with sense of profound relief.
Forgetting our differences and re-
membering only your many kindnesses
in the past, | have the honor to be,

BIG P. 0. BlSINESSIL0SS IN HUNTERS
Postmaster Rgby Looks for Shawnee County Shots Are
Record Holiday Mail. Fewer This Season.
Parcels Post Increases 33I Per Only 1000 Bought
Only 5000 Have Bought
Licenses Since July 1.
CITY JEWELLERS ARE ACTIVE
They Outnumber Farmers in
Buying Hunt Rights.
Number Averages From Thirty
to Fifty a Day.

Pursuit of the timid cottontail and
the southbound wild fowl is not so
active in Shawnee county this season
as it was last year. This fact is shown
by the records of hunting licenses is
sued by Kenneth Raub, county clerk.
Last year there were $500 licenses
sold and 1892 licenses given to ex-
soldiers and sailors. So far this year
only 1855 licenses appear under the
Sold" column and 592 under the head
of free. 1t seems likely that last years
record will not be approached. The
figures date from July I, the begin
ming of the fiscal year.
City Dwellers Ambitious.
The list of applicants covers a varied
field of occupations and stations in life.
Some of Topeka's most prominent
business men were among the first to
obtain hunting licenses this year. A
large number OF farmers also made ap-
plication, but 1t is probable that there
are more city jewellers than farmers on
the books.
Licenses are now being issued at the
rate of from thirty to fifty a day. The
biggest days business so far this year
was November 2. when sixty-seveu
licenses were issued. and the second
largest November 1, when sixty were
sold.

Six or Eight Extra Trucks

Beginning About December 12,
P0stOffice viii Be Swamped.

The biggest business in the history
of the Topeka postoffice is expected
during the coming holiday season, ac-
cording to w. o. Rigby, postmaster
From the emergency fund allotted him
Postmaster Rigby will engage fifteen
extra carriers, fifteen extra clerks and
put on six or eight extra trucks to
carry the mails.
The prediction of the big holiday
rush is based mainly upon the natural
increase in parcel post business. Dur
ing the last ninety days this has in
creased thirtythree and one-third per
cent. Many merchants are coming to
use the parcel post system where they
formerly used the express for trans
mission of merchandise. There has
also been q marked increase in the
the reduction in postage to the pre-
war level.
Trucks Have Not Arrived.
The one dark spot in the sky for the
local postoffice. is the fact that two
Pierce-Arrow two-ton trucks and
three one-ton trucks, which have been
promised by the government for sew
era1 months. have not arrived.
Furthermore, there is no chance to get
them before Christmas. Old army
trucks and cars are being rebuilt for
the postoffice department and there is
hardly a town in the country that has
not made requisition for one or more.
The last reports received by Post
master Rigby were TO the effect that
the bodies for the three one-ton
trucks to be used for carrying parcel
post We're being built at Bay City.
The big holiday rush does not prop
erly begin until about December IL.
From then until the first of the year
the postoffice is gwamped under the
avalanche of packages, first class mail
and Christmas cards. There is little
hope of getting cleaned up" before
January 1. One year the department
delivered the last of the Christmas
mail December 81 This was the best
record ever made in the local office.

Thus saith the Lord Cursed be the man
that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his
arm. and whose heart departeth from the
Lord.
For he shall be like the heath in the
desert, and shall not see when good
cometh; but shall inhabit the parched
places in the wilderness, in salt land and
blessed is the man that trusteth in the
Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.
For he shall be a tree planted by the
waters, and that spreadeth out her roots
by the river, and shall not see when heat
cometh, but her leaf shall be green; ana
neither shan cease from yielding fruit.
The heart is decitful above all things: and
desperately wicked: who can know It!
the Lord search the heart. l try the
reins, even to give every man according
to his ways. and according to the fruit
of his doings-
