orable business men-and this in
cludes the great maiority-have
nothing to fear from such investi.
cation.
"The delay iry the revision OF
taxes-particularly the income and
enthusiastically hampers bust
ness initiative. Taxes are part
of the expenses Of business and no
business can proceed unless it
knows definitely what it's ex.
penses are. Under present condi
tons business men are forced to
carry on for several months with
out knowledge of the amount of
taxes which they must. This is not
.corductive to aggressive leadership
which the present situation re-
quires.
"The most practical aid the gov
eminent can give to agriculture
lis to expand the foreign market
for surplus agricultural products
and to assist the farmers in trans
ferring their activity from the pro-
duction Of unstable commodities
ito the production Of commodities
for which there is a sufficient de-
mand to insure a price which viii
return the cost of production and
yield a fair profit. The foreign
market for agricultural products
viii be to a material degree by the
settlement of European political
difficulties. We are raising too
much wheat and we must transfer
our effort to other farm products.
The government should assist in
this necessary transmission inso-
lar as assistance can be grared upon
a sound economic basis. The gov
eminent should not ard can not
successfully engage in efforts To-
fix prices or otherwise provide an
artificial stimulus which will not
bear the test of sound economic
policy.

federal reserve rate should not fluc
tuate to extremes"
Oscar Wells, Of Birmingham,
Ala, second vice-president Of the
association, said:
"There is but little question that
the market for the securities as well
as for commodities is being af-
fected by the investigations and ex-
posures at Washington. Business
men, however, are becoming ac-
customed to armalyzing such dis
turbauces and I do not believe in
the present situation business is be.
ing vitality or substantially hind
cred.
"The business men of tire ma
tiorr generally are very much con-
'eerned with the principle involved
in the tax revision; and the delay
which is largely brought about by
political sparring between party
leaders, is a very definite hurdle to
present business progress.
There is no denying that the
uncertainties Of national politics
do have an influence upon business,
and we are accustomed to urge
the exister,ce of a presidential
year as one Of the sources Of sensi-
tiveress upon the part of business
operators of whatever character;
but | am Of the opinion that these
effects have been generally dis
counted during the past two OF
three decades. Generally speaking
business interests and business men
are interested in the nomination Of
conservative candidates.
Il have no grounds for making a
prediction as to what the federal
reserve rediscounting policy may
be, but l am of the opinion that
the future of money rates should
be not really enough to supply tic
demand therefore the rates con
tinues stiff in this section"

IF Back Hurts
Begin on Salts
Flush Your Kidneys Occasionally
by Drinking Quarts of
Good Wates

No man OF woman can make mis-
take by flushing the kidneys OCCASION
ally, says a well-known authority. Too
much rich food creates acids which clog
the kidney pores so that they sluggishly
filter or strain only part of the waste
and poisons from the blood. Then YOU
get sick Rheumatism, headaches, liver
trouble, nervousness, constipation, dizzi-
ness, sleeplessness, bladder disorders
often come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts, or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full or
sediment, irregular of passage, or at
tended by a. sensation of sealding, begin
to drink soft water in quantities; also
get about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any reliable pharmacy and take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and your kid
neys may then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for years to help flush clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to activity, also to
help neutralize the acids in the system
so they no longer cause irritation, thus
often relieving bladder disorders.
lad Salts is inexpensive and can not
fniure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia water drink, which everyone can
take now and then to help keep the
kidneys clean and the blood pure, thereby
often preventing serious kidney compi-
cations. By all means have your physi-
clan examine your kidneys at least
twice a year.

CAFE IS CALLED
NUISANCE, ORDER
TO CLOSE GIVEN
Liquor Charges Is the
Cause of Officials
to Act

With the serving of notice today
on Elmer Leonard, owner of the
property at 439 Broadway where a
japanese restaurant known as Mix
kos Cafe, is located, the district
attorneys, office has gone step
further in warning on liquor vio-
lators. The notice calls attention to
the fact that under the laws of
California, the cafe is "common
nuisance and states that proceed
ings will be started to abate such
nuisance.
The serving of the "abatement of
nuisance :" notice today means that
the cafe will be closed within a
short time, or that proceedings will
be started by the district attorney
to force the closing of the restau-
rant, which is leased by X. Kawa-
kami, now in Japan. X. Kanda,
japanese, is manager of the cafe.
He will also be notified of the ac-
tion taken by the district attorney.

stituted," District Attorney Utley
said today, "but the continuous
charges of liquor violations which
have been brought against this
place, and the persistence with
which the operators continue to dis
pense liquors, make it necessary to
take this action. We shall follow
this first action to close such places
with others unless there is radi-
cal change in their attitude toward
the law"
The statutes state that the own
er of property must have written
notice of the existence of nuisance,
signed by the district attorney, at
least two weeks before the filing
of complaint for abatement and
injunction. Such notice was sent Mr..
Leonard today.
Police and justice of the peace
records show that Kawakami and
Kanda have both appeared i'll court
to answer to numerous charges of
liquor violations. AS far back as
March 5, 1922, Kanda was fined $3.50
on a liquor violation charge. He
has appeared three other times i'll
police court on similar charges and
has appeared at least once in jus
tice of the peace court.
