AND NOW FRANCE PROTESTS.

But II England has six votes In tho league
why has not France Italy Japan pro-
testod7" How often did you hear that argu-
ment during the campaign when Engiand's dis
proportionate voting power in tho league was
assailed by opponents of the covenant.
There also another argument Admitting
that 1t would bc possible for, England to uso
& the votes OF her dependencies to the disadvan-
ttage of other nations. sono supporters of tho
covenant asserted that sho would never do so;
s that the votes of Canada. South Africa, Aus.
traa, etc. would be free and independent.
All this In significant In view OF what has
; transpired within the last few days. The French
government has sent to the British government
formal protest against the naming OF Lord
Rober Cecil as one OF South Afrcas delegates
To the meeting of the assembly OF the league OF
nations in Geneva this month
The story explains that "the French protest
is based the ground that when the British
delegation to the peace conference asked for
and obtained six votes In the assembly OF tho
league for England and her colonies It was on
the understanding that the votes OF the colonies
were independent OF those OF England, Tho
French note makes the point that It is In contra
vention OF this principle that an "Englishman
shall be the delegate OF ono OF the colonies be-
cause IL that were permitted thore would bc
theoretically, nothing to prevent all the dele
gates OF all the colonies from being Englishmen.
and thus England would have six votes In tho
assembly"
We thus find France giving official rocogn-
tion to the objections uIged by republicans In
the United states from tho worry beginning There
. Is no Significance whatever In Englands naming
1ord Robert Cecil as delegate from South
Africa. That WINS TO have been expected. Only the
credulous. ever doubted Euglauds Intention. That
country having asked for ana obtained six
3 votes In the assembly for England and her
colonies, awaited herself OF tho first opportunity
. 10 set up a precedent that would enable her 10
speedily realize the advantage she thus obtained
England has never disseulhlcd her intention IN

when "she asked for ana obtained" supertor
representation In the assembly IL was her inten
tion to pa, the jury. The naming OF Iora
Robert Cecil was merely the first stcp--to he
followed we have no doubt by the appointment.
OF Eughshmen, true ana tried as delegates for
the other colonies
The protest OF France merely shows that
creduous Frenchmen are at last awake to the
dangers or the league and that France is quite
as unwilling America TO prejudice her future
by exposing II to the decisions Of a pnckel
jury.

hypocrisy of the sacred covenant rs being ok.

Meat forms uric acid which ex-
cites and overworks the kidneys in
their efforts to filter it from the
system. Regular eaters of meat
must flush the kidneys OCCASION
ally You must relieve them like
you relieve your bowels; removing
all the acids, waste and poison,
else you feel a duh misery in the
kidney region. sharp pains in the
back or sick headache, dizziness,
your stomach sours tongue is coat
ed and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic tWinges, The
urine is cloudy. full Of sediment;
the channels often get irritated,
obliging you to get up two or three
times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating
acids and flush off the body's
urinous waste get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy; take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for
few days and your kidneys will
then act fine and bladder disorders
disappear. 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 and stop bladder irritation,
Jad Salts is inexpensive; harmless
and makes a delightful efteryes-
