Moses of New Hampshire Calls
Upper House Arcadian in
New England Speech.

New York. Dec. 22.-The United
States senate was dubbed an Arcadian
body Friday night by Senator Moses
of New Hampshire, speaking at the
n7th anniversary dinner of the New
England society and the 3O2nd ami
versary of the landing of the Pilgrims.
Il speak of it deliberately as that
Arcadian body he said. because it is
ruled by an agricultural bloc, group
made up of Is lawyers, one editor and
well digger"
Never was there more need than at
present for the practical idealism for
which New England stands he said,
adding that the country seemed to be
entering an era in which men were
seeking to gain for single class
broader privilege than ever has been
granted to any group. S
II have recently taken the pains to
examine sheaves OF printed measures
submitted to the congress Of the Unit
ed States" he said, "and ably and fore
IDLY argued for by those who are in
sisting that legislation shall be imme-
diately enacted for the benefit of one
group in our population.
Through that runs a single pur-
pose, to take the money of somebody
else and give it to single class. and
through it there runs another single
purpose. the creation of bureaus and
high salaried positions, which. it pro-
vided, would most certainly furnish
amelioration for whatever
farmer happens to get the appoint
ment.''
Senator Moses said there was too
much of a disposition among public
men today ''to appeal to the popular
sentiment and to shift their sails to
catch the ever passing breezes of ex-
pediency"

Wash Kidneys
If They Hurt
Take Salts to flush Kidneys II
Back pains you or Bladder
bothers.

Flush your kidneys with salts occa-
sionally, says a noted authority, who
tells us that too much meat and rich
food may form uric acid, which almost
paralyzes the kidneys in their efforts to
expel it from the blood. They become
sluggish and weaken; then you suffer
with dull misery in the kidney region,
sharp pains in the back or sick head
ache. 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 irri-
tated, obliging you to seek relief two OF
three times during the night.
To help neutralize these irritating
acids. to cleanse the kidneys and flush
off the body's urinous waste, get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here; take tablespoonful in
glass of water before breakfast for
few DAYS, and your kidneys may then
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acids of grapes. and lemon
Juice. combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush and
stimulate sluggish Kidneys also TO
neutralize the acids in urine so 1t no
longer irritates, thus often ending blad-
der weakness.

lure and makes a delightful enerves-
cent lithia water drink.
