Take Salts to
Flush Kidneys
Eat less meat if you feel Back
achy or have Bladder
trouble.

Too much meat may form uric acid,
which excites and overworkes the kid
neys in their efforts to filter it from
the system. Big meat eaters can flush
the kidneys occasionally to relieve them
like they relieve the bowels, removing
all the acids, waste and poison, else
they may feel dull misery in the kid
ney region, sharp pains in the back or
sick headache, dizziness, the stomach
sOurs, tongue is coated, and when the
weather is bad they have rheumatic
twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of
sediment; the channels often get irri-
tated, obliging one to get up two or
three times during the night.
10 help neutralize these irritating
acids and flush off the body's urinous
waste get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take table
spoonful in glass of water before
breakfast for few days and your
kidneys may then act fine and bladder
disorders disappear. This famous salts
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for generations to help
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys
and stop bladder irritation. Jad Salts
is inexpensive, harmless and makes a
delightful effervescent lithia water
drink which millions of men and women
take now and then to help prevent SER
ious kidney and bladder disorders.

Ford advocates, including at least

SPLIT
IS DECLARED IMMINENT
President And Members Of OGic-
ial Family Fail To Agree On
Important Policies

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-Politi-
cal writer's here are unanimous in
declaring a cabinet split imminent,
with general shake-up of the entire
republican administration anditicaped
before President Harding ends mis-
second year as chief executive. In
ability to agree on important policies
is assigned as a reason for the expect
ed general shape-up. The dopesters
say the president has not yet selected
a successor to Secretary Fall, of the
Interior department, who will re-
sign March A. AS previously pointed
out, Fall was never pleased with his
Job 1t is understood that he thought
himself entitled to a more prominent
position in the cabinet. Likewise, ne
was not given, the bureau of forests,
which is now an integral part of the
department of agriculture. In the
third place, questioning by congress
of his leasing the Teapot Dome oil
property@to a subsidiary of the Stan
dard Oil company, was said to have
been most displeasing to him.
While Secretary Hoover, of the
department of commerce, declined
the secretaryship of the interior de-
partment, he is not greatly pleased
with his job, if reports be true. He
/ regarded interior as no more than
commerce, in the first place. In the
second place, there were certain fea-
lures of his program which had not
been completed. Hoover, at present,
according to Washington gossip, is
"sore" with Secretary Wallace.
For the Department of the Inte-
rior, it is said that the President has
finally selected Postmaster General
Work. While Work will accept, he
will insist that the President make
! Postmaster General one of his as
sistants, preferably John H. Bartlett.
For this post, as for several other
posts, the President considers Sena-
tor New. So there is trouble again.
And regarding New, Representative
Wood of the Indiana delegation, who
is also chairman of the Republican
Congressional Campaign Committee,
informs the President that New, af-
ter his defeat in the primary by for
mer Senator Beverage, declined to
show enthusiasm for the nomination
with the result that Democrat Won
in the general election We're Che
President to elevate New, according
to Wood, Indiana would go Demo-
cratic in 1924.
The other members of the Indiana
delegation, however, repudiate the
representations of Wood with the re-
suit that the President is cup in the
air" These are pointed out as some
Of the reasons he finds his job one OF
many difficulties.
1t is understood that Secretary
DENLY, Of the department of the ma
wy, grown tired of the structure of
cabinet office, and certain min
understanding" with his assistant,
Theodore Roosevelt, has indicated to
the executive that he would be glad
to have the appointment as am
sador to Japan, post recently re-
signed by Charles B. Warren. The
indications are that the implied re-
quest Of DENLY will be granted.
The removal of DENLY would per-
nit the amalgamation Of the navy

FOREST FIRES CAUSE
HEAVY LOSS IN COUNTY

Forest fires the past week or two
took heavy toll of the standing tim
Der in Baraga county and but for one
hours rain early Wednesday morn
ing the damage and loss would have
been very much greater.
All sections of the county suffered.
The Ford Motor company had fire in
its standing timber for the past two
weeks, having several crews fighting
it. From the Plumbago to the Tay-
lor mine both sides of the federal aid
ed road has been bruned over. Near
Iron Bridge, where Robert O'Toole is
logging for Ford, fire threatened the
sideways containing over "a million
feet Of logs on Monday and Tuesday.
The Baraga Lumber company had
serious fires in the vicinity of Carp
river, where Foreman. Victor Reed and
crew fought the flames. In L'Anse
township Dan Denomme worked all
Monday night with his men, protect
ing the camp and sideways of logs.
Year after year we are threatened
with forest fires, caused principally
by the carelessness Of our people, who
should do everything in their power
to prevent these fires from staringn
in the first place.
