Too Much Meat
Hurts Kidneys
Take a Glass OF Salts to Flush Kid
neys if Bladder Bothers You.

Eating too much meat may produce
kidney trouble in some for or other,
says a well-known authority, because
the uric acid excites the kidneys, they
become overworked, get sluggish; clog
up and cause all sorts of distress, par
ticularly backache and misery in the
kidney region; rheumatic twinges, Sc
we're headaches, acid stomachh, consti-
alton, torpid liver, sleepness, bladder
and urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces Of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
fake tablespoonful in glass of water
b efore breakfast for few days and
your kidneys may then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid OF
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lith;a, and has been used for genera
tions to flush clogged kidneys and stim
ulate them to normal activity; also to
neutralize the acids in the urine so that
it no longer irritatcs, thus often ending
bladder disorders.
lad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervesccnt lithia-
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then to help keep
the kidneys and urinary organs clean
thus often avoiding serious kidney dis
orders. Advertisement

UNCLE'S PENSION BILL
STEADILY INCREASING
This Despite the Fact that Number of
Veterans Becomes Less Each Year

The fiscal year ended June 30, 1923
showed a further decrease in the
number OF government pensioners,
The names OF 1860 persons were
dropped from the pension rolls Due
to the change from quarterly to
monthly apyments, which added two
months to the fiscal year, there was.
however, an increase of $9,204917
over the fiscal year ended in June,
1922, in the total OF federal d sburse-
ments for pensions.
There has been an almost unbroken
decline in the number of Uncle Sans
pensioners since 1902, when the total
reached o99,446, the highest figure re-
corded. In the fiscal year that ended
las. June there were 539,756 persons
on the pension rolls.
The high water mark for pension
ers of the civil war was reached in
the year of the Spansh-American
war. In 1893 there were 745,822 civil
war soldiers on the rolls.
With slight fluctuations disburse-
ments for pensions have mounted and
multiplied for many years. There was
a slight decrease in 1922 and anoth-
er actually in the fiscal year ended last
June.
There are now l68,623 civil war
soldiers drawing pensions and 264,-
$50 widows of civil war soldiers. Pen
sioncrs of the SpanishAmerican war
have increased in number, both sol
diers and widows. There are still AZ

REPORTER BLAMED FOR
STORM OVER TRANS
LATION OF THE BIBLE
Took Form of Lords Prayer in Luke
and Declared 1t Dr. Godspeed's Yer
sion. Investigation Reveals

CHICAGO, Oct. 23-Thc recent
publication of DR.. Edgar J. Good
speeds American translation of the
new testament reveals the explana-
ton of the curious charge widely
made against the translator of hav-
ing shortened the Lords prayer A
Chicago news writer took the form
of the prayer found in Luke, Chap
ter ii and declared that to be DR..
Goodspeed's version.
This statement was then taken up
by various papers. The fact is, the
Lords prayer in general use, is
found not in Luke, Chapter II, but
in Matthew Chapter 6. The shorter
Lukan form is never used in
churches and usually passes un-
noticed. The Goodspeed form of the
Lords prayer as given in Matthew
Chapter 8, shows no abbreviations of
the prayer as it appears in the
Latin Vulgate (the famous Pater Nos
teri, the first English translation from
the original Greek by William Tyndale
QSzS) the English revision of 1881, or
the American revision of 1901 or any
modern translation as a glance at page
ten OF the new book shows.
Much misapprehension as to the
English form of the Lords prayer ex-
lists. said Professor Goodspeed, who
IS professor of Patristic Greek and
early Christian literature at the Uni
versrty OF Chicago. Many people think
there always has been entire agree
ment among English translators on the
wording Of the Lords prayer. As a
matter of fact in the whole series OF
the English TRANSACTIONS fnom William
Tyndale Qs2s) until today, no two
translations have entirely agreed in
the wording of the Lords PRAYER
and the prayer book differs from all
of them.
1T is most unfortunate that my tran
station of the prayer as given in Luke
should have been seized upon for com
parison with the form made familiar
to US by Matthew"
