EAT LESS AND TAKE
SALTS FOR KIDNEYS
Take a glass of Salts before breakfast
if your Back hurts or Bladder
bothers you.

The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trou-
BILE, 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 gene
raj 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; if you suffer
with sick headache or dizzy, nervous
spells, acid stomach, or you have rheu-
matism when the weather is bad, get
from your pharmacist about four
ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoon
ful in a glass of water before break
fast 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; 10
neutralize the acids in the urine so il
no longer is source of irritation, thus
ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts Is inexpensive; cannot in

every home, because nobody can make
mistake by having a good kidney

BRANDEGEE WINS FIGHT
FOR TREATY RESERVATIONS
Especial to The Bulletin.


Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Brande~
gee has won out in his desire for res
erations that leaves no doubt in the
minds of foreign governments that the
United States is not entering on any al
lance or obligation to join IN any de-
Tense. What 1 want" said the sena-
tor yesterday, SIS to prevent any presi-
dent or nation in the future from as
sorting that the United States has en-
tered into such an obligation by enter
ing into the four-power treaty. While
the question may be clear t Gus, a prop
er reservation will prevent any dis
pute in years to come when the Pacific
Islands or other foreign territory Is in
volved. What I want to prevent Is any
future president from saying an agree
ment has been reached under the terms
powers might determine the most eff
ficent means of maintaining rights. I
want everybody in Japan and elsewhere
to understand that congress has free
dom of action and that the treaty does
not put US under any moral or legal OBJ
legation as to what we shall do when
confronted with the question Of main
tanning anybody's rights,
Mr. Brandegee is being warmly con-
graduated on the tactful way in which
he has caused his reservations to be
| adopted by the foreign relations com
mittee and on the scope and text and on
the reservations as accepted by the for
eign relations committee.

three wise men ever demonstrated was

must work at our business to make a

should be to serve God. Herod was fool

his mistake; so We, though we may at
temp it, We can never in the long run
thwart Gods purposes. Let US paral-
lei our lives with his will.

STUDENTS AT SMITH ARE
IN COLLEGE FOR STUDY

'"The poor student pose is going out,
said Dean Comstock of Smith college,
speaking before the alumnae council
which recently held its annual meeting
at Northampton, Mass. 1T used to be-
the fashion to pretend that you studied
only because you had to, not because
you liked it, but there is a steadily in
creasing ten lency in the other direc-
ton. The undergraduates are now quite
ready to admit that they came to coll
lege to study. They talk outside of the
class room about the subjects they are
reading and discussing with their in
| structors. Some of the alumnae have
begun to fear that We might be plac-
ing undue emphasis on the development
of intellectual type. The best an
swer 1 can make to this is to point to
| the group of students from the junior
class who, because of their high aca-
demic standing, are being permitted to
complete their course under the new
special honors system tan arrangement
allowing students with an average of B
or above to specialize during the last
two years of the course) They are
girls of all round ability and interests,
| girls who are enthusiastic about ath-
| letics, girls who take prominent part in
| dramatics, girls who are concerned with
| every phase of student activity"
The alumnae council. which meets
twice a year in Northampton, is COM
| posed OF the executive officers of the
Smith Alumnae association, alumnae
| trustees, class secretaries and represent
! tatives from Smith clubs in all parts
| of the country. Its purpose is to fur
| Their the best interests of Smith college
| in strengthening the relations between
the college and its alumnae; it acts as
a medium for securing and disseminat-
ing accurate information concerning the
| college and usdertakes work along the
| lines of active alumnae service.
