Washington.-Not one man In ten

penses run up by the present Govern
ment. The disbursements are roughly
s1b. oOo,o 900 a day, more than year
after the war. In 1914 the people

sitions of prohteers and the burden of
taxes welcome q return TO those hal
cyon days Congress and the new Adj
ministratiOn will have to deal with

lures
The same party that has swelled
them returned TO power will never re-
duce them. because it claims the gov

Istsred. The Republican party will
delight In reducing these enlarged ex-
penses for clerk hire, and the insa-
table bureaus that have been built up
into money spending machines. BY
holding In their hands all lines of ex-
penditures the new Congress and new
Executive working together will cut
down excessive items and eliminate
others to an aggregate Of hundreds
Of millions OF dollars.

EAT LESS AND TAKE
SALTS FOR KIDNEYS
Take glass Of Salts before breakfast
II your Back hurts or Bladder
bothers you

The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trouble,
because we eat too much and ali our food
is rich. Our blood is filled with urio
acid which the kidneys strive to filter
out, they weaken from overwork, become
sluggish; the eiminative tissues clog and
the result Is kidney trouble, bladder
weakness and general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel Like Jumps Of
lead; your back hurts or the urine is
cloudy, full of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three times
during the night; if you suffer with sick
headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid
stomach, or you have rheumatism when
the weather is bad, get from your phar-
macist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in 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 and stimulate clogged kidneys;
to neutralize the acids in the urine 90 it
no longer is a source of irritation, thus
ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
Jure, makes a delightful effervescent
Whitewater beverage, and belongs in
every home. because nobody can make
q mistake by having good kidney aush.

OUT FOR HARDING.

Neutrality-suspicious. Benedict Crow
ell, Mr.. Bakers former Assistant Sec
rotary Of War, warm admirer Of Pres
ident Wilson, Is the latest distinguish
ed man to declare In an interview that
he Is In favor Of the election of Hard
ing and Coolidge and a Republican
Congress at the polls In November.
Major Crowell goes so far as to say that
he Is In favor Of the league Of nations
but he prefers to take his chances on
getting the league with Senator Hard
ing rather than with Governor Cox.
"Now that President Wilson Is re-
firing from active political life," said
Major Crowell, at Is wise for his sup
porters to pause and take stock OF the
situation. l have always favored a
league Of nations but the Democratic
party has no monopoly on the league.
Indeed, the present Democratic admin
istration has failed on this subject In
spite Of the fact that rs per cent
of the Senate were In favor of some
kind Of league.
ut seems evident that Governor Cox
is making many promises regarding
the league which he may not be able
to fulfill"

VOTERS ENCOUNTER NO
DIFFICULTY CHOOSING
BETWEEN CANpIp DATES

Washington.-The American people
are carefully making a close compari-
son right now between Senator Hard
Ing and Governor Cox. The choice be-
tween these two men and the policies
they represent Is not q difficult one
and the writer honestly believes the
American people have their minds
made up and are ready to vote.
Senator Harding and Governor Cox
are almost Numerically opposed to
each ether in everything. Senator
Harding stands for Americanism and
Governor Cox espouses international
ism. Harding is cautious about what
kind Of a league he and his party goes
into while Cox wants to wade right
ists the European league as proposed
by President Wilson.
Senator Harding Is careful, DELHI
crate, dignified, sincere, serious and
constructive, while Governor Cox is
crafty, quick to seize upon any kind
of an artiHce; he is bombastic and
impulsive.
Senator Harding has been life
time accommodating a moderate fortune
while Governor Cox jumped into the
multimillionaire class In a few years.
Harding lives modestly and quietly In
an transformations manner while Gov
ernor Cox lives in luxury on a large
estate in a home costing half mil
