BIG EATERS GET
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take Salts at First Sign of
Bladder Irritation Or
Backache.

The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney
trouble, because we eat too much and
all our food is rich. Our blood is filled
with uric acid which the kidneys strive
TO filter out, they weaken from over
work, become sluggish; the eliminative
tissues clog and the result is kidney
trouble, bladder weakness and a 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; II 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 a 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
lithia, and has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys
to neutraliZe the acids in the urine SO
it no longer is a source of irritation,
thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure, makes delightful effervescent
lithia-water beverage, and belongs in
every home, because nobody can make
mistake by having a good kidney
flushing any time. adv

MOTHER AND LITTLE
 SON PRAISE TANLAC
Mrs. Nellie Peck Says Her Little Boy Never Had a We'll Day Until He Began Taking T a n l a - Now. Well and Strong.

T will never be able to pay the debt of gratitude owe to Tanlac for what it las done for my little boy and me- said Mrs. Nellie Peck, No. 1421 Char lotte St, Kansas City, recently.
 My little boy Curtis is fourteen years old and never in his life had he seen a well day until he began taking Tanlac. I worried and worried over his condition. but in spite of everything I could do he didn't seem to gain any strength and was weak and delicate practically all his. life. He seemed to have very weak stomach. It just looked like he couldn't eat any thing and digest it like other children.
 He had no appetite at all and what little he did eat seemed to sour his stomach. Sometimes his heart would pal pitate terribly and he would get so dizzy he could hardly walk and as I stood and looked at him I thought he would surely fall over. He would have bad heacacnes and was nervous and could never sleep we'll at night. At school he was never able to keep up his work and he had to stay out a great deal on account of poor health
 T had heard so much about Tanlac decided to try 1t and see if it wouldn't t help him. Well, you just can't imagine how overjoyed I was when he began to improvei 1 kept right on giving him the medicine un:ff now it is hard for me to believe he is the same child. His health is better than ever before in his life and he is bright and playful all the time and he enjoys going out and playing with other boys. He has a splendid appetite and I let him eat anything he wants He is not the least bit nervous any more and is asleep as soon as he goes to bed. In fact, he is perfectly well in every way.

MT. Feagln's resignation reached the county board of education Friday morning. though he decided to tender it at a conference with friends late Thursday night It is effective at xonce. MT. Feagin has not indicated what work he will take up. but it is probable that he will continue to live in Montgomery.
 The resignation results from a se- ries of charges which have been pre- ferred by thirteen residents of Mont gomery men and women. Several af- fidavits have been obtained which, these back of the movement assert, involve Mir. Feagin morally. The county board of education offered to give the complainants a hearing and Iut Mir. Feagin. on trial, but stipulated that the charges must be in writing and MT. Feagin must be given ten days in which to prepare an answer and that the hearing must be public, with the witnesses appearing in per son against Mir. Feagin.
 Contending that their request for a public hearing had been denied by the toard, the complainants called a public n.eeting last Monday night and read the affidavits. One of the leaders of the movement made an address in wkich he severely criticised MT. Fea- ~n and declared that he was not tho rroper person to be the head of the county's school system

sue into the courts. Preferring not to take part in an affair which night do an injustice to one side or the other prominent citizens and the newspapers have declined to comment On the case until this time.
 Statements of the two factions in the affair indicate two sides Those fighting MT. Feagin claim they are sctuated solely by their desire to pro- feet the school system Mr. Feagin's friends insist that the movement is political, combining various factions which have not concurred in the edu- cational policy of the county since Mir becams superintendent Whether this be true or not it is known that two persons seek election to the county board of education in the primary May II on ticket op- posed to the selection of Mir. Feagin for county superintendent
 Whatever may be the final outcome the educational system of Montgomery county has been disrupted, system which Mir. Feagin planned and which the legislature of 1915 adopted at the suggestion of the state educational de- partment. of which Mir. Feagin was then the head.
 Some of the affidavits against MT F'eagin were made by persons who had previously worked with him in the county Counteracting them is statement signed by great majority of the teachers of Montgomery county men and women, declaring that MT feagin has always treated them with courtesy and that his actions toward them have always been of a gentle man and educator.

LONDON, June 7 (by Associated Press) The Archbishop of Canter- bury has expressed his envy and amazement at the way in which Amer jeans are subscribing money to For eign missions abroad. He said at the annual meeting of the Society for Pro- motion of Christian Knowledge that the finances of the society in this country were really in perilous plight while across the Atlantic they somehow had a genius for raising sums of money for charitable and re- 1igious purposes which put England to shame
 ''It made ones mouth water" the archbishop said ''to read that the Methodist Episcopal church had se- cured promises for their mission work for the next five years, of G33,000,000. Its foreign mission board was able to make an annual appropriation of 92,000,000 while the Church of Eng land was struggling to get another G20,000.

WILD MEN WILL
 NEVER SUCCEED
 BRETON CLAIMS

LEEDS, Eng, June (by Associat- ed Press) Sir Arthur Shirley Benn, who was head of the British mission to the international trade conference at Atlantic City last fall told the members of the Luncheon club that he believed the United States and Great Britain will continue to 'pull together" If so, he said, they and their Allies will be able to reconsti- tute Europe and get back to former conditions of trade.
 4 great many people have said that there is no chance of Great Britain and the United States pulling togeth- CT as they were too much alike too impetuous and aggressive. He did not believe it. He has known Ameri- can since 1877 and has never known a better feeling to exist between Eng land and America than exists today among the people who counted.
 There are in America, he said, pro- Germans, Sim Feiners, and others e'wild men who are trying to uproot the whole American constitution .' There are people who are working, with pro-Germans and Seinn Feiners, to do all they can against England. But they will not succeed, he said. The class of people in America who are descended from Anglo-Saxon stock are not giving up the government or the country to any mixed cosmopol- itan body of people like the Bolshe- vists and their class who are making the trouble in America today
 The bulk of the people of the Unit ed States, he declared have the most absolute faith in the honesty, cour- age and determination of John Bull Great Britain, he said, owes America q big depbt, but the Allies owe Eng land a larger one.
