MEAT CAUSE Of

Take q glass of Salts if your Bacl

If you must have your meat every day,
eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts
occasionally, says noted authority who
tells us that meat forms uric acid which
almost paralyzes the kidneys in their eff
forts to expel it from the blood They

region, sharp pains in the back or sicl
headache, dizziness, your stomach sours,
tongue is coated and when the weather
is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or three
time during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids, to
cleanse the kidneys and flush off the
bOdy's urinous waste get four ounces OF
Jad Salts from any pharmacy here
take tablespoonful in glass Of
water before breakfast for a few DAYS
and your kidneys will then act fine. 2 mis-
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 sluggish kidneys,
also to neutraHze the acids in urine

bladder weakness.

SF1ANTUNG AS THE JAPS SEE 1T AND
THROUGH THE EYES OF THE CHINESE

order.
No one has ever attempted to con-
done the German mailed fist which
forced China to assent to the leasing
of Kiaochau. The provisions of ar
rangement between the Chinese EN-
pire and Germany are explicit and in
direct contradiction to the terms of
the peace settlement.
The lease of hlaochau to Germany
was non-transferrable. 1t was stated
in the Chino German Treaty of 1898
that, except China, Kiaochau could be
under no condition transferred to an
ether power. The capture of Kiao-
chau by Japan could not legally abro-
gate the lease, as Japan was not a par
ty to it. 1t was only when China de
clared war on Germany that the lease
was obragated and thereby Kiaochau
legally reverted to China.
The world agrees that the decision
cannot be squared with international
justice, and that it is against all those
principles upon which the world strug-
gle was ,waged Even President Will
son admitted that he accepted it re-
luctantly and did so only to save the
League of Nations. Great Britain
and France made the decision because
they were bound by the secret agree
ments with Japan in 1917, supporting
Japan's claim of Shantung.
These agreements, it must be en-
phasized, were made at the very time
when China was induced to enter the
war on their side. China, like the
United States, was ignorant of them
until the Shantung matter was taken
up at Versailles. What surprises Chi
ma is that she must be bound by
agreements of which she had no
knowledge, and must suffer contin-
ued mutilation of territory and prop
erty in order to settle the debts of the
great powers.-J. S. Tow, in No
vember World Outlook.

AS JAPAN SEES 1T.

Japan did her work with energy ana
thorOughness.
Would that she were blessed by
bounteous Providence so that she
could follow the example of America
and forego any material compensa-
ton for her war efforts?
The position of Japan is different.
Circumscribed within a narrowly linn
tied area, with scanty resources and
crowded with two-thirds of the en-
tire population of America, Japan's
problem of existence is not an easy
one Only by energy, perseverance
and patriotic sacrifices of the people
has the Japanese nation succeeded in
entering the ranks of the Five Pow
ers.
Every experience which Japan has
gained is a priceless lesson to her. In
1895 she tasted the bitter cup of be
ing deprived of the best fruits of vic
tory in the costly war with China,
and not long after of witnessing those
fruits slip from China's grasp and
fall into European hands. In order
to forestall repetition of this eX-
perhence aA the peace conference
which was to settle the world war,
Japan felt it necessary to assure her
self of the support of her claims by
her Allies at the peace table. This
will explain the agreements entered
into in 1917 between Japan on the
one hand and Great Britain, France,
Italy and Russia on the other, as well
as the China-Japan Agreements Of
1915 and 1918. Can we justly blame
Japan for concluding these conven-
ti0uS?
The one and sole weakness in the
Shantung decision, | will admit, is
the outward appearance it unavoida-
bly, partakes, that the Allies have
given the award to Japan at the eX-
pense of a friendly nation, and that
Japan has become heir to the lease
hold and rights which Germany ex-
torted from China on the barest of
pretenseS.
| am suplemely confident of the
continuance of amicable relations be-
tween America and Japan. Speeches
might be made denouncing Japan
worse than the Satan Of Millions crea-
ton; inrrigues might be attempted to
embroil the United States in troub Bile
with Jspan; but l am sure that these
labors will come to naught For the
interests and forces, inherent and dy.
mamie, which bind the two great ma
tons on the opposite shores Of the
Pacific are so manifest that no amount
of scheming could ALLEVIATE their
friendship. These interests and forces
cannot, of course, be estimated in
terms of dollars and cents. But to
give one illustration; Americas
trade with Japan amounts to $780,
| 100000 annually, while her trade
with China, which has a population
five times larger than that of Japan,
is valued at 100000, OOO-Toyaki-
