Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says a noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder, where
II often remains to irritate and inflame,
causing burning, scalding sensation, or
setting up All irritation at the neck of
the bladder, obliging you to seek relief
two or three times during the night.
The sufferer is in constant dread, the
water passes sometimes with scalding
sensation and is very profuse; again,
there is difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call It,
because they can't control urination.
While it is extremely annoying and some
times very painful, this is really one of
the most simple ailments to overcome.
Get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from your pharmacist and take table

breakfast, continue this for two or three
days. This will neutralize the acids in

or three times saw him he seemed shifty
and uncomfortable in conversation, in
strong contrast to the easy, steady, still
manner that marked him upon one or two
earlier occasions.
His crisp, dark brown hair is neither
grizzled nor sparse and he walks with the
vigorous slog of the trained long distance
tramper. Out of his political role he is
charming and interesting companion. He
has a remarkable fund of information, his
torical, political and personal, at his
tongues tip and he gives of it generously
in social conversation.
Aside from his South African expert
ence, he was greatly interested in the es-
tablishment of the Hungarian kingdom
within the Austrian Empire. He wrote
book on it that is the Wade Mecum of the
faction of Sim Fein that stands with him
to-day. He and they see a close parallel
between the last century effort to accom-
modate natonalism with Imperialism along
the Danube and the present effort to make
the same accommodation either side of the
Irish Sea.
He is soaked to the eyes, too in the
literature and the documents of the Ameri-
can War OF Independence. No American
can quote George Washington with greater
present day appositeness than he. He wrote
most OF the replies Sim Fein made to
Lloyd Georges frequent citations of Lin
coin against disunion. He had Washing
ton for every British Lincoln.
He probably has a more cosmopolitan
outlook than any other Irish leader at the
present time. lie lacks Collinss great per.
sonal magnetism but his influence both
within and without ireland, Is probably
greater than Collins's. II rests on sound
foundations of long service TO the cause OF
Irish freedom and on soundness. strength
and honesty Of personal character, upon
which even his htterest enemies have never
been able to cast a spot. His ancestry is
probably Welsh in some respect, but his
understanding OF Ireland is perfect Ire

his steadiness would not fare ILL

could be monkeying with finance And
since l got to London and lived in the
same house with him l know how both
stories are true. He works regularly from
6 one morning until the next"
Energy is Collins's most striking charae-
teristic. He is seldom still. He walks fast,
he talks fast he thinks fast. He seldom
sits down. When he does one never gets
the idea that he is either still or resting.
His swapping black eyes dart from one
place to another. He retains the same posi-
tion for only a few moments Scowl and
frown chase each other across his mobile
and expressive countenance. And it is a
countenance not easily forgotten. Quick
as his eyes are, they meet other eyes with
an almost disconcerting intensity, unless
The glance is accompanied by one of his
wide-mouthed smiles. Yet even when his
big mouth spreads into grin il spreads
firmly. There is little of the sinister about
his face-unless he wants to make it so,
and then eyes and mouth and chin can
combine into veritable mask of terror.
Collins dresses carefully and well, as
rule. though distinctly in the ready-made
fashion. He might be a prosperous black
smith on Sunday. He smokes cigars
moderately but, like SO many of the Sim
Fein leaders, particularly the activists, he
is total abstaner from spirits. The usual
Photographic of Collins are not accurate. 1t
is to be suggested that they were taken in
his youth-and he is now well into middle
life. He is in the flesh and in the first
photographs taken of him in a long time
those since he went to London, squarer
firmer and heavier than he is usually
shown. He has cut his hair closer and he
wears small stiff mustache.
The Crown forces, it may be said, were
severely handicapped in their searches for
Collins by their lack of recent photo
graph. 1t enabled him many times to slip
through the very fingers that were seeking
to close about him and the $4,000 the
Crown had placed on his head. Few Eng
lishmen knew Collins by sight. Those
Irishmen in the police or elsewhere who
did, and who sought to give the Crown the
benefit of that information, did not live
long enough to make good on it.

eral Post Office, but was transferred back
to Ireland, and it may be assumed that
much of the marvellous intelligence work
of Sim Fein was due to the friends Mick
f. Collins had made in almost every post
Office in the country.
He was in Dublin in 1914 when the Young
Ireland movement was given cohesion by
refusal to fight "Britain's war;" and he
fought and was captured in the rebellion
of 1916. He is one of the few of the i'm
portant leaders who does not profess to be
a poet.
His knowledge of detail. accounting and
finance led him naturally into the fiscal
activities of Sim Fein, but his courage
his physical powers and his organizing and
leading skill gave him also high military
place. His narrow escapes were legion

would have taken a heavyweight mare in
deed to carry him to the Irish wars. Now
he is virtuoso on the three pedals of a
Ford. They say he can make a. Ford take
a five bar gate or Galway stone wall.
Fordmanship, be it noted, has well nigh
displaced horsemanship in modern Irish
hero liturgy. Every Irishman loves still
to play with horse but he does his work
and his fighting with gasoline.
A~few years ago, The Man on Horseback
might have been a literal as well as fig
urative description of Collins, and it is now
merely figurative. But he has all the attri-
butes that go with the old cavaliers. He is
bold, he is amusing, he is gallant, he is
charming he is gay--and under 1t all he
has strain of steel.

Dogged, Determined, Forceful
Is the Older Man, Griffith

Griffith is an older man than Collins,
probably we'll into the fifties. And great as
have been Collinss services to the nascent
State, Grifith's are probably greater, for
he was laboring in this vineyard quarter
of century ago, when Collins was raw
gossoon. And those who remember or have
since read Griffth's early efforts and his
later ones see the unmistakable imprint of
this logged determined, forceful man in
almost every line of the treaty.
Back in 1898, when he began to edit and
publish the United Irishman, with "A. E.

man was more insistent than he on Ire

Fixity, in fact, is the striking note of
Griffths character 1t is easy to see what
an admirable machine he and Collins made
during the conferences with Lloyd George.
Collins was the light cavalry. 1t was he
who could venture out with merry tinkle
of sabers, in friendly salute or deadly en-
gagement with the light cavalry wit and
speed of Lloyd George himself. 1t was
Collins who could open the way to under
standing with the fellow Celt, with the
mercurial Churchill, with the "galloping"
Birkenhead, or even with solemn Austen
Chamberlain. They say he made them all
laugh.
But when there was need for siege artil.

Collins's thrust, il must have been Arthur
Griffith who numbered up and spoke
through his clenched teeth---he has that
unamiable but sometimes effective habit;
or IL there were need for holding line
upon which to fall back before the assault
of Lloyd Georges foot and horse and guns
it is easy to imagine Collins scurrying into
the rear of that basalt chin, that mouth
like a granite trench and that taut bull
neck whence thundered a devastating
salvo OF two of crisp sentences aimed with
deadly accuracy at the weakest point of the
enemy line.

speech. In conversational argument, how.

T~ WO new stars have risen in the Irish
armament. But they are not Castor
and Pollux. No one would ever sus-
pect Arthur Griffith and Michael Collins
of being twins, or even brothers. Arthur
Griffith is one of the fixed suns of the
Hibernian constellation. About him and
within his influence revolve whole systems
of Irish thought. His powerful gravita-
tional attraction influences them ALL To
many his rays are not visible: yet Griffith
is always there" silent, hidden perhaps,
but invariable, constant.
Collins, on the other hand, is a comet.
He flashes through the skies with a glow
ing tail of gallant tradition in his wake.
He makes periodic appearances to stir men
to battle, to lead them to prayer, even to
guide them to some new Bethlehem. His
ultimate effect may be just as important as
that of Griffith, but it is of distinctly diff
ferent kind, in the whirl of things that are
going to make up the new Irish heavens.
De Valera may be better likened to
meteor. He, too, flashed across the Irish
sky. He too, played his part in influencing
Irish destines. But when meteors fall,
brilliant and important as they may have
been, they do not reappear. Collins will
