MEMBERS OF TEN
THOUSAND CLUB

Secretary Hoover told club leaders
of Los Angeles that nine-tenths of
the problems that confront us as
American citizens are economic,
and he urged that women devoting
themselves in sarge measure to aifru-
ism and the solution of government
problems, interest themselves as
well in the economic problems of
their country; in the great projects
of material construction as we'll as
those philosophical and visionary;
In practical business of the nation.
In line with this thought of the
great constructive statesman, the
Fen Thousand Club adjourned its
meeting today to attend the mass
meeting at the high school and
hear Mr.. Hoover on tie seven-state

is the great step toward the build

EAT LESS MEAT
IF BACK HURTS

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says a well-known author
ity, because the uric acid in meat ex-
cites the kidneys, they become over
worked; get. sluggish; clog up and
cause all sorts of distress, particular
ly backache and misery in the kidney
region: rheumatic twinges, severe
headaches. acid stomach, constipa-
ton, torpid liver, sleeplessness, blad-
der and urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or
kidneys aren't acting right. or if blad-
der bothers you. get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any good
pharmacy; 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
clogged kidneys and stimulate them
to normal activity; also to neutralize
the acids in the urine so 1t no longer
irritates, thus ending bladder disord-
ers.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which millions of men
and women take now and then to
keep the kidneys and urinary organs
clean thus avoiding serious kidney
disease-Adv.

FITTING WORDS FlTTINGLY
SPOKEN

Whatever may be the partisan
preference Of the readers Of this
paper they will find profit in consid-
ering the address given by the chair
man Of the Republican National Com
mittee at the luncheon Of the Wom-
ems National Republican Club. All.
men as we'll as women should remem-
Der his advice to the ladies that they
be party women, and the reasons he
gave in support of this view.
There Is about as much logic in
the women forming a political party
of their own as in having the green
eyed, or the red-haired, or the bald
headed people set themselves up as
political party. Every time we
learn of the organization Of a wom-
ans Republican club. or a womans
Democratic club, either one, we think
the women, are going to justify our
confidence that when they got their
political rights they would recognize
their political responsibilities.
Good logic this, especially good in
this bipartisan country of ours
which should keep free from the fac
tional pettifogging and dickering with
which England and France are af-
fiicted. We don't want to multiply,
tho opportunities for ''log-rolling," for
political trades. for confusing the
pubiic's understanding of just what is
