Drugs Excite
The Kidneys,
Drink Water
Take Salts at First Sign Of Bladder
Irritation or Backaehe.

The American men and women must
guard constantly against kidney
trouble, because we often eat too much
rich food. Our blood is filled with
acids which the kidneys strive to fill
ter out; they weaken from overwork,
become sluggish, the eliminative It's
sues clog and the result is kidney
trouble, bladder weakness and a gen
eral decline in health
When your kidneys feel like Jumps
of lead; your back hurts or the
urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or
you are obliged to seek relief two or
three times during the night; if you
suffer with sick head ache, or dizzy,
nervous spells, acid stomach, or if you
have rheumatism when the weather
is bad, begin drinking lots of good
soft water and get from your pharm-
acist about four ounces of Jad Salts.
Take a teaspoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for few
days and your kidneys 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 and stimulate
clogged kidneys, to neutralize the acid
in the system so they no longer are
q source Of irritation, this often re-
lieves bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; can not in
jure, makes a delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink and belongs in
every home, because nobody can make
a mistake by having a kidney flush
ing any time. By all means have
your physician examine your kidneys
at least twice a year.

CLAIMS
DECISIONS INDEPENDENT

The attempt to defeat Judge w. H.
PembertOn for reelection will cause
the people of the state to believe that
the state supreme court is the last re-
fuge for the standpatter and that
privilege at all costs would endeavor
to keep men who believe in human
rights of the bench.
The popular district of courts will
become intensified and serious.
If Judge Pemberton is defeated it
will show that one cannot retain the
highest judicial position in the state
without receiving the support of the
corporation lawyers.
They have not publicly criticized his
opinions. But he is independent"
They do not feel entirely safe with
him on the supreme bench.
This is the first time in the history
of the state that the word has not
been sent out to re-elect the present
judges.
Judge Pemberton Is independent. .
That is why he is needed upon the SUI
preme bench.
"Since l have been on the supreme
bench have determined all cases up
on their merits, according to the law
and the facts" said Judge w. H. Penn
bertOn in a recent interview. 81 was
under the impression that the people
of this state wanted a Judge who
would follow this rule, but to my
surprise, at the last primary election
l found that there were a large num-
Der of people opposing my reelection
and l have since learned the reason
for this fact.
"The newspapers published some
articles about the 1. w. VS. endeav-
oring to select the judges. This
charge was made against Judge
Blake of Spokane as well as against
well known, in his own county, this
charge had but little influence. He
carried his county almost two to one
over any other judicial candidate.
While in my own county of Whatcom
and the three other counties of the
Northwest, l received more votes
than any other judicial candidate. In
fact, I received more votes than I
had ever received before.
"The people in these counties where
l am known know that there was abb
soIutely no foundation for this /. w.
w. talk. 1t has recently been said
that l am accepting the support Of
the l. w. WIS. have never solicited
the support of the l. w. VS. and do
not know of an l. w. w. supporting
my candidacy. The only /. w. WIS
that / ever knew were tried before
me when was judge of the superior
court a few years ago. After the
trial the attorney for the /. w. w.
and the attorney general of the state
of Washington, said that gave both
sides a fair trial.
II find, however, another reason
for the opposition to my reelection,
and that is that some people do not
want their cases determined upon the
merits, according to the law, and the
facts, but want special favors.
Eve have certain groups of attor-
neys opposing my candidacy, because
they want special favors before the
supreme court, and want to elect a
Judge that they believe will deter
mine cases in their favor"
my pledge to the people of the
state is: THAT so long as l am upon
the supreme bench, win determine
all cases upon their merits, according
to the law and the facts. If any one
desires special favors, he should not
support my candidacy"

Ministers, elders and deacons of the
Presbyterian Church in the United
States are to be asked to take a vow
that whenever they change their
views regarding the fundamental
doctrines of the church they will
make known the change to their
presbytery, according to action taken
today at the sixty-fourth general
assembly of the church.
This is considered by delegates to
refer to the attitude of the assembly
on the fundamentaliSt moderniSt
controversy. The assembly voted to
put the following question to every
candidate, be he a minister. deacon
or elder:
DO you sincerely receive and adopt
the confession of faith and the cate
chism of this church as containing
the system of doctrine taught in the
holy scriptures and do you further
promise that if you find yourself out
of accord with this system of doctor
ing you will make known to your
session the change which has taken
place in your views since assumption
of this ordination Vow?"
Revision of the book of church or

before the assembly. Elimination of
Latin from the order has been ap-
proved by the assembly.
Goes to Presbyteries.
The proposed change, adopted by
fhe assembly, together with other
changes in the book of church order
must be referred to the preSbyterie es
Tor final approval before they can be-
come the law of the church.
An effort has been made by the as
sembly to raise and to fix more clearly
