F KIDNEYS ACT
 bAD TAKE SALTS Says Backache Ofte n Means You Have Not Been Drinking Enough
 Water

When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it may mean you have been eating foods which create acids, says a we'll known authority. An excess of such acids overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get slug gish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels, remov- ing 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 a good, reliable physician at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts; take a tablespoonful ina glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys may then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid os grapes and lemon juice. combined with lithia, and has been used for years l. help clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys. also to neutralize acids in the system. so they no longer irritate, .hr :: often re- lieving bladder weakness.
 lad Salts is mex ensive, cannot in- jure and makes delightful, efferves- cent Whitewater drink. Drink lots of soft water. By I'll means have your physician examine your kidneys at least twice a year.-Ady.

COALITION FORMED ] AGAINST P|NCHOT IN PENNSYLVANIA
Storm Clouds Threaten To Menace The Chances Of
 Noted ConServationist

HARRISBURG, Oct. 9.-The storm clouds on the political horizon in Pennsylvania are gathering to men ace the outlook for harmony in the republican party when the time for the national convention rolls around.
 With every step that he takes, Gov ernor Clifford Pinchot brings the ap- preaching storm nearer, until now according to observers here, a down. pour likely to drench his hopes for the presidency appears to be only few moro steps distant.
 Organization republican leaders do not look with favor upon any move by Governor Pinchot to assume the reins of party leadership. There is we'll defined movement Tn the state to give Pinchot the run of his life if he tries to balk the determination of these leaders to have an un- instructed delegation for the next convention.
 / Governor Pinchot does not intend to heed the warning of the "poli- ticians" that he is flying in the face of danger. He has indicated this in his speeches and his interviews, since the return of the organization to power at the recent primary.
 Every Move watched.
 His every public act is taken here as bid for the popular support necessary for him to control the sit- uation and go to the national conven- tion at the head of his own delega- tion.
 To counteract this determination on the part of the governor, coa- lition of state leaders has been form ed consisting of Secretary Mellon, Jo- seph R. Grundy, manufacturer boss, former Governor Sproul, senators Pepper and Reed and the county leaders who were the dominating fac- tors of the old Penrose machine.
 This alignment of leaders In the old days would have been enough to forestall the hopes of anyone whose ambitions ran contrary to tnelrs. but Governor Pinchot believes the people who contributed to his success VIII rally again to his support, desplte the fact that some of his own former leaders are now lined up with the organization. -
 A number of significant moves by the governor have brought an open break with the organizations. They are:
 Charges Against Pinchot.
 1. Failure of the governor to take part in any move to assure party harmony by selection of successor
 
 mitteeman.
 2. Attacks upon the organization by deploring a cheap brand of poll ties in the past and "the things that have soiled the government Of Penn- sylvania ,. s other sections of the state to drive out the saloons by paddock proceed ings" without warning and in way that caused embarrassment to the authorities
 4. Salary reductions under the re- classification inaugurated in the de- partments at Harrisburg which nit state employees with political backing harder than those without inoorse- ment.
 This last act has caused a storm to arise most unexpectedly for those who designed the system of making over jobs at the capital and mas brought down the wrath or county leaders who previously had been more or less indifferent. rney charge that ineqt taHties that never existed under the old system have been set up as standards in the new.

EXCAVATIONS AT 'OGLETHORPETOMB
 NOW PROCEEDING.
Stone Steps Leading To The Vault Are Already
 Reached

cRANHAM, England, Oct. B. Thornwell Jacobs and his associates who are searching for the body of Gen. J:.7es E. Oglethorpe late this afternoon struck what they believe to be the platform of a flight of. stone steps leading into the vault, in which the general and his wife are inferred.
 The vault itself probably will be reached tomorrow when the worl5 will know definitely whether the body of Georgia's founder is within. The bones, should they be located, are to be taken back to America and en- shrined in a suitable Mausoleun1 on the Campus of Oglethorpe university.
 For eight hours today expert stone masons burrowed through several layers of flint-lil1e concrete with a local archaeologist declared was harder to pierce than the walls ot the tomb of Theban kings. The chisels and hammers which were brought from London were found to be 100 light for the purpose and tomorrow much heavier demolishing tools will be brought into play.
 Quaint Setting.
 The setting for the excavations is the quaint and lonely church of All Saints in the hills of Essex where GeHerdl OBietuoipe Woi SiiP PPou o.S his return from America. The build- ing of roughhewn stone is sur rounded by trees which Oglethorpe brought from Georgia and planted himself. The auditorium is lighted by kerosene lamps and has only suf- ficient pews to accommodate only about one-fifth of Cranham.
 In an adjoining room is silver Chalace from which Oglethorpe took commission. Near the altar is a massive slab on which is recorded the fact that in 172S General Ogle- thorpe, as chairman of parliamen- tary committee, liberated several hundred Englishmen from the London jails who rendered strangers and helpless In the country of their birth. sought asylum with their liberator in the wilds of America"

COOLIDGE IS DOUBTFUL OF ECONOMIC MEETING
Sees Nothing To Be Gained Under
 Present European Conditions

Present European COndltIOnS
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-With tho present condition of mind existing In Europe President Coolidge sees little or nothing to be gained from m endeavor to hold a world eco- homie conference.
 The views of the President were obtained today when the attntion of Whit House officials was called to the advocacy of an international economic conference by Senator Copeland, democrat, New York.
 The President has not considered the question particularly, but the subject has been one of more or less continuous discussion in Washington for the past two years. Up to the present time, however, the President has not been able to see such condi- tions in existence abroad as would make a world discussion of economic nrohlems practicable or successful.

 Letters like these testify to the value of the Vegetable Compound. These women speak from the fullness of their hearts.

They are sincere expressions of grati- tude. For nearly fifty years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has been 50 praised by women.
