IF KIDNEYS AND
BLADDER BOTHER
Take a Glass OF Salts to Flush Out
Your Kidneys and Neutralize
Irritating Acids

Kidney and Bladder weakness re-
suit from uric acid, says a noted
authority The kidneys filter this
acid from the blood and pass it on
to the bladder, where it often re-
mains to irritate and inflame, caus-
ing a burning, scalding sensation,
or setting up an irritation at the
neck of the bladder, obliging you to
seek relief two or three times dur
ing the night. The sufferer Is in
constant dread. the water passes
sometimes with a scaiding sensa-
ton and is very profuse; again,
Their is difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks
call it. because they can't control
urination. While it is extremely
annoying and sometimes very pain
full, this is really one of the most
simple ailments to overcome Get
about four ounces of Jad Salts from
your pharmacist and take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast. continue this for two or
three days. This will neutralize
the acids in the urine so 1t no longer
is a source of irritation to the blad-
der and urinary organs which then
act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and is used by thousands Of
folks who are subject to urinary
disorders caused by uric acid irri-
tation. Jad Salts Is splendid for
the kidneys and causes no bad eff
fects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, efferves-
cent Whitewater drink. which quick
ly relieves bladder trouble.

DECISION ON D. c.
BUILDING LAWS
Corporation Counsel Inter-
prets Regulations Relating
to Wooden Structures.

The building regulations as now
worded do not give the Commits
sioners the right to remove wooden
buildings merely because they are
more than so per cent dilapidated, ac-
cording to a ruling by Corporation
Counsel Stephens.
In accordance with this ruling the
building inspector yesterday issued to
X. X. Phillips permit to repair the
stables of the Phillips estate, 1901 NJ
street. 1,
Section 130 Quoted.
Section 100 of the building code, on
which issuance of the permit was
riedsy held up blnS provides that
dated beyond one-half of their origi-
nal value. shall not be repaired, but
shall be condemned as provided by
section 16.''
Section 16. however, deals with the
condemnation of unsafe or dangerous
buildings and gives the owner the
option of making the structure safe
or removing 1T. After calling atten-
tion to these facts, the corporation
counsel concluded
In my opinion, therefore. a permit
10 repair and reconstruct this build
ing so as to make it safe should
be granted, as by refusing to grant
the permit the removal of the build
ing cannot be legally accomplished.
Up to building Inspector.
IF the building inspector desires
regulation granting him the right to
condemn and cause the removal of
wooden buildings found to be dilapi-
dated beyond one-half of their orig-'
nal value. it would be we'll to re-
quest this office to draft such regu-
lation. as section 130 of the building
regulations does not accomplish the
removal of such a building by reason
of the fact that condemnation thereof
is provided to be accomplished in ac-
cordance with the terms of section
iG, which. as pointed out above,
leaves the owner the option either to
remove the building condemned or to
make it safe

HELD FOR TRYING FRAUD
ON LOCAL BUSINESS MAN
Joseph Levy, Alias Cohen, Accused
of Attempt t. Swindle
H. G.. Lehman.

One of the several prisoners in the
lineup at police headquarters yes
terday was young man whose
name appeared on the police records
as Joseph Levy. aiias Jack Cohen. He
was arrested by Detectives Pratt
and vermillion. charged with at
tempting to obtain money from
Henry G. Lehman. manager of the
Fleischmann, Yeast Company. at
Langdon.
Inspector Grant. chief of detectives,
first heard of the young man when he
received a long distance message from
the New York Office of the American
Laundry Machinery Company telling
of an alleged attempt to obtain money!
from the company's local manager in
this city.
1t appears that Mr.. Lehman was in
the office when the young man tele-
phoned and made an engagement: an
automobile was sent for him and he
was taken to the Fleischmann plant.
He is said to have introduced himself
TO the manager as representative
of the firms legal department in New
York.
While at the Langdon plant the
Young man dictated letter to Mr..
FleischmaQn-in which he-told Of hav-
ing reached here from Atlanta and of
senator Wadsworth and Of having
met Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon through Mr.. Theil. one of the
1atterS assistants. He also wrote
that he expected to get through a
Treasury warrant for $500, 900 in ia
vc~ of the Fleischmann Company.
. Before leaving the office. the young
man made an engagement to meet
Mr.. Lehman at a hotel and entertain
him at a theater. and his alleged
fatal mistake was contained in re-
quest for the name of the largest
bakery in this city. Mr.. Lehman
thought 1t singular that a representa-
tive of the company did not know
this bakery. as the head of the bakery
is one of the vice presidents of the
company.
Early in the evening Mr.. Lehman re-
ceived a telephone message from his
former caller imparting the informa-
ton that the latter had lost his
pocketbook containing large sum
of money, and asking that he bring
money to him and charge it to the
company's account Detectives Pratt
and Vermillion kept the engagement
with Mr.. Lehman. Levy is said to
have admitted passing worthless
check for $50 on a hotel proprietor
in New York land said he may be
wanted in Pennsylvania. He said he
expected to touch Mr.. Lehman for
twenty or thirty dollars.
