WASH YOUR KIDNEYS
BY DRINKING Water
If Your Back Hurts or Bladder
Bothers, Also Take Some
Salts

Flush your kidneys by drinking a
quart of water each day, also take
salts occasionally, says a noted au-
thority, who tells us that too much
rich food forms acids which almost
paralyze the kidneys in their efforts
to expel it from the blood. They be-
come sluggish and weaken; then you
may suffer with a dull misery in
the kidney region, sharp pains in
the back or sick headache, dizziness,
your stomach sours, tongue is coated
and when the weather is bad you
have rheumatic twinges.
To help neutralize these irritat.
ing acids, to help cleanse the kid
neys and flush off the body's urin-
Gus waste, get four ounces of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy here; take
tablespoonful in a glass Of water
before breakfast for a few days, and
your kidneys may then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for
years to help flush and stimulate
sluggish kidneys; also to neutralize
the acids in the system so they no
longer irritate, thus often relieving
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure and makes a delightful effer-
vescent Whitewater drink.--Adver-

HOPES TO PREVENT
CUT IN PHONE RATE
Company Resumes Fight Be.
fore Public Utilities Body
Over 1926 Earnings.

The Chesapeake & Potomac Tele
phone Co. resumed its fight before
the Public Utilities Commission today
to preclude d reduction in telephone
rates in the District, which the com
mission is considering on the ground
that the company's earnings in 1926
exceeded by Sl57 300 it's fair return
on the valuation which the commits
sion fixed at $21,123,476.
Hearings on the rate case were
started last month and recess was
taken to give the company and the
commission time 10 study exhibits.
The company is claiming a valuation
of more than $50, 900, 900, which, if
allowed, would put it in a position to
apply for an increase in rates.
The wide difference in the valuation
claimed by the company and that used
by the commission as it's rate base
was the principal subject discussed
Byars Nick. Bachman, chief account
ant for the commission, brought out
that the commissions rate base was
considerably lower than the COM
pany's own valuation. due to the
methods used in arriving at going
concern value and depreciation re-
serve.
Mr.. Bachman was questioned by
Ralph B. Fleharty. peoples counsel
before the commission. and George p.
Hoover, counsel for the telephone com
pany.
Mr. Bachman pointed out that in
accordance with the commissions
policy all property not dedicated TO
public use had been excluded from
the companys valuation claim. which
was classified as a going-concern
value. ..r
Announcement was made by Mr..
Fleharty that he would be handicap
ped to some extent in the presentation
of his case by the lack of expert wit
nesses which Congress authorized the
| commission to employ at the expense
of the utility corporation being in
vestigated. The decision of Controller
| General McCarl, which removed a
technical barrier in connection with
the employment of expert witnesses,
he said. came too late to be of value

BRITISH ACCORD KNOWN HERE
Formal Declaration of China Policy
Causes No Surprise.

By the Associated Press
Formal declaration of a British pol
icy of awaiting internal developments
in China caused no surprise today to
Washington officials who have known
informally for some time that the
London government was in accord
with the American view that it would
be inexpedient to undertake enforce
ment of the Marking demands until
the political situation in China itself
has been clarified.
There is increasing hopefulness
here, meanwhile, that the split i'll the
Chinese Nationalist party between
radical and moderate groups will re-
suit in a greater degree of security
for Americans and other foreigners
still in Nationalist controlled terri
tory.
The British decision not to supple
ment for the present, at least, the
original demands in connection with
the Nanking outrages comedies with
the position taken by President Cool
idge and Secretary Kellogg from the
outset They have deferred decision
on that point to await developments
within the Nationalist party itself
and at no time has the Washington
Government been willing to discuss
with any other power the question
of measures of, force to compel ac-
ceptance of the demands.

OFFERS PLAN TO STOP
MISSISSIPPI FLOODS
En- gineer Proposes Strengthening
and Deepening of River to
Increase Fall.
BY the Associated Press.


. CHICAGO, May 9.-Straightening
and deepening the Mississippi River,
to prevent floods such as the present,
is advocated by I. B. Tanner, mem
Der of the Western Society of Engi-
neers, American Society of Mechanical
Engineers and the American Water
Works Association.
Mr.. Tanner has had 80 years ex-
p3rience in levee construction.
"From Cairo to the mouth of the
Mississippi there is about 1,l00 miles
with an average fall, of less than. four
tenths of foot per mile and flow of
less than miles on hour" Mr..
Tanner said. IF the channel were
Strengthened, the fall would be ap-
proXimately / foot a mile and the
channel would be something less than
half its present length. Water would
move from Cairo to the Gulf in 60
hours, whereas it now takes about l.
days.
THE cost of such a channel would
be around $500, 900, 600. The idea pre-
scented would reclaim permanently
thousands and thousands of acres of
the richest land in the richest valley in
the world and would obviate the dis
asters from foods ] believe that any
effective food control plan must take
into account, the crooked line of the
