GERMAN ELECTION
SET FOR MARCH 29
All Parties Anxious to Have
New President at
Helm of State.
BY the Associated Press.


PERLIN, March 3.-The date of the
German presidential election, at which
a successor TO the late President Ebert
will be chosen, was officially fixed to-
day as March 90.
By Radio TO The Star and Chicago Daily News.
BERLIN, March 3.-All parties are
desirous of hurrying the German presi-
Dental election.
1t must be remembered that a Ger
man president is elected by direct popu
lar vote of all persons over 20 years old.
II the first election fails to give any
one an absolute majority, a second cleo
tion will be held two weeks later and
the plurality candidate is elected.
The two most likely candidates now
are former Chancellor Marx and Chan
cellor Luther. although the latter may
not be mentioned in the first election.
He will undoubtedly poll heavy vote
as a non-partisan candidate in the sec
ond election. Luther is an undoubted
Conservative. +.
Despite much disorder and confusion
this election may do much to divide the
sheep from the goats-tnat is, the
friends of the new regime from the par
tisans OF the old and show which side
is the stronger. thereby clearing the
air for the future.

RETIREMENT BILL
DOOMED TO ALL
Republican Leaders Declare
Measure Already Passed by
Senate Will Not Be Enacted.

The civil service retirement bill
will not be passed at this session of
Congress. This word was passed
along to leaders of the 100000 Gov
ernment employees who have been
making a desperate and unremittent
fight to get action in the House be-
fore this session closes. 1t was con-
firmed today by Republican leaders
in the House, This decision is under
stood to be based on word directly
from President Coolidge that he does
not want this measure passed. f
Both President Harding and Presi-
dent Coolidge early in their admins
trations declared their sympathy
with the pledge of wornout Govern
ment employees who could not retire
to starve and so were clogging the
Government pay rolls and preventing
efficient work in the various Govern
ment establishments. They declared
their earnest support of this 1egis-
lation.
The cabinet, through Secretary
Work of the Interior Department,
has also declared it's urgent interest
in having action taken.
The bill has already passed the

This announcement was made late

be any religious ceremonial at the

born in the Catholic faith, his activ-

antagonistic to all religions, had
given rise to the popular impression
that Herr Ebert no longer was

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 head
ache, 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 ply
stefan at once or get from your phar-
nacist about four ounces Of Jad
Salts; take tablespoonful in a glass
of water before breakfast for q few
days and your kidneys may then act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid Of grapes and lemon JUICE,
combined with IithiA, and has sbsen
used for years to. help clean and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
neutralize acids in the system. so
they no longer irritate, thus often re-
lieving bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, can not
injure and makes a delightful, effer-
vescent lithia-water drink. Drink
lots Of soft water. BY all means have
your physician examine your kidneys
at least twice a year.

It is reported that major industries.
look for big profits in 1925. They
look for great activity. New England
textile employers start the ball roll
ing by an effort to cut wages.
If there is anything calculated to
knock a hole in 1925 prosperity it is
wage reductions.
Textile workers who get their
wages cut will be able to buy less of
everything. Then somebody else will
get the idea Of wage cutting and
more workers somewhere else viii be
able to buy less.
The wage reduction policy is about
the most vicious thing on earth. En-
ployers who want a prosperous 1925
should look out for the wage cutter.
He is the skeleton in the closet
In the last election Is States failed
to poll so per cent of their votes. In
those States less than half Of the
qualified voters cared enough about
government to go to the polls.
1t is true that many persons put
altogether too high rating on the
comparative Importance Of govern
ment, but it remains, nevertheless,
vitality important to all people.
To keep out of the polling booth
means to turn it over to those who
do not keep out. While there is a
limit to the good work that can be
done by government, there is practi-
cally no limit to the bad that can be
done by government in the hands Of
the INSCRIPTIONS or the foolish.
When less than half the people go
to the polls there is something wrong
with their conception of government
Bob Brindell has served his term in
prison. He is out, facing trial on an
other charge. The government says
he didn't pay enough income tax.
Brindell, it viii be remembered,
made a fat thing out Of the building
trades in New York. He had about
the best little sinecure in the whole
movement. He raked in the money
for Brindell, not wisely, but too thor
oughly. The courts got him and then
| prison got him.
The release Of Brindell merely
serves to refresh the determination
everywhere that the labor movement
is for the good of all, not for the
benefit of one here and there. It Is
a place for honesty and service and
sacrifice.
