 HIS OFFICIAL RIGHTS POLISH GOVERNMENT
Claim Intervention In Behalf Of Churchman Constitutes
 UnfriendIy Act

MOSCOW, April 2.-Poland's ef- forts to save the life of Vicar Gen eral Cepliak of the Roman Catholic church in Russia are construed by the Russian government as an "un- friendly act.''
 George Chicherin. foreign minister, Monday dispatched sharp note to Warsaw. complaining against Po- lands attempt to interfere with Rus sia's right to punish criminals &C., cording to her own laws
 Poland has sent several formal communications to tho communist government designed to prevent the execution of Cepliak. who was seE- fenced to death after he had been convicted of participating in a ooun- ter-revolutionary plot and attempt ing to solicit the aid of Poland against the constituted government of Russia.
 Chicherin, in his nota, declared that Poland's Congratulated threats and Insults directed against the Rus sian state constitute an unfrsendlj , act and indicate an aggressive policy against Russia" The foreign min ister adds that the soviet indignantly rejects tho Polish governments pre- tensions of playing the role of pro- tector of Russian citizens of Polish origin. Furthermore. he states, Rus sia refuses to enter into a discussion o n of tho unfounded accusations against the Russian courts.
 Responsibility of the conseuuences which may ensue because of the at tempted Interference rests entirely with the Polish government, Chiche- rin warned
 The feeling between Poland and Russia has been increasingly bitter ever since France, the ally of Po- land and avowed enemy of the soviet government. gave Poland huge loan.
 The Russian government charges that the money was all spent for in- creasing the army of Poland and that tho deal was engineered by France to intimidate the Russian state.

SO And looking upon Jesus as he
walked. he saith, Behold the Lamb
of God!
81 And the two disciples heard
him speak. and they followed Jesus.
3S Then Jesus turned, and saw
them following. and saith unto them,
What seek We? They said unto him,
Rabbi. (Which is to say, being in
terpreted, Master,) where dwellest
thou?
80 He saith unto them. Come and

# KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Baekache Is sign you have been
eating too much meat, which
forms uric acid.

When you wake up with backache and
dull misery in the kidney region it gen.
orally means you have been eating too
much meat, says well-known authority.
Meat forms uric acid which overworks
the kidneys in their effort to filter u
from the blood and they become sort of
paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys
get sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels; re-
moving all the body's urinous waste,
else you have backache, sick headache,
dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue
is coated, and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The urine
is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often
get sore, water scalds and you are obliged
to seek relief two or three times during
the night.
Either consult good, reliable physi.
clan at once or get from your pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
q tablespoonful in glass of water
before breakfast for 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
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize acids in the urine 80 1t
no longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, cannon
injure and makes a delightful, effer.
vescent lithia- water drink.
