Wash Your Kidneys
By Drinking Water
If Your Back Hurts or
Bladder Bothers, Also
Take Some Salts

Flush your kidneys by drinking
quart of water each day, also take
salts occasionally, says a noted
/ authority. 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 become sluggish and weaken;
| then you may suffer with 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. The urine gets cloudy, full
of sediment, the channels often
get sore and irritated, obliging you
to seek relief two or three times
during the night.
To help neutralize these irritating
acids, to help cleanse the kidneys
and flush off the body'S urinouS
waste, get four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy here; take a
tablespoonful 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,
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
injure and makes a delightful effer-
vescent lithia-water drink.-Adver-
tisement.

MUSIC COLLEGE CONCERT.

The Washington College of Music
held its flfty-third concert in Baker
Hall, in the Y. W. c. A., last night
An orchestra, under the direction of
Siegfried Scharbau of the United States
Marine Ban1 played two selections. and
there were five soloists, making a pro-
gram somewhat shorter than is usual
with schools.
The recital was particularly notable
because Of the artistry of three SoloiStS,
Evelyn Scott, violinist: Catherine Ben
son. pianist, and Joseph Barbecot, bari
tone.
Victorine Bouillon, pianist. was the
first to be heard and this may have
had something to do with rather
noticeable tension in her playing. She
gained confidence, however with each
selection she played and in the last,
MacDowell's Scotch Poem," gave evi-
dence of real ability
Ruth Rooney, soprano, sang Weaver's
Moon Marketing" and Meyerbeer's
"Ombria leggiera" in a pleasing man
ner.
Evelyn Scott was quite the star of the
recital, and the audience would have
appreciated 1t had she been permitted
an encore. The careful and gentle in
depreciation of the "Liebeslied" of Sam
martini-Elman was enjoyed. The verve
and individuality of the playing of
Nachez's "Danse Tziganes," combined
with an excellence of bowling and fin
gering, brought out the full beauty of
this work. She demonstrated her abil-
ity and musicianship in the playing of
the "Hopak," by Moussourgsky-R -Rach-
maninoff.
Much credit should be given Miss
Benson, splendid pianist. who handled
her part of the recital most capably.
Her Interpretation of Dohnanyi's
Rhapsody in c Major" was excellent.
Mr.. Barbecot is French and there
fore quite naturally at ease in that
language. 1t would have been inter-
esting to have heard him in an Eng
lish song. His singing of Brousseau's S
LES Illusions was effective. His is
fine baritone voice of good quality
and strength, and he sings with ease.
The orchestra was at its best in the
playing of Glucks overture, 'Iphigenia
in Aulis."

heard in public for some time, due to
illness in her family, and, iTethis her
first appearance after so long an abb
sence, she was warmly welcomed by
old friends and new admirers alike.
Mrs. Won Bayer opened the program,
playing two movements from the Bee
thoven Sonata in G Major, Opus 49,
No. g" and following it with familiar
works by Schumann and Chopin. In
all of them she showed command of
big tone without banging and a sense
of traditional reading. She won much
applause and special interest centered
in her encore, Lullaby" written by
herself. She also played Griegs Nor
wegian Wedding Day.
Mr.. Lorleberg;s rich cello playing
balanced nicely with Mrs Won Bayers s
tone at the piano in two movements
from Grieg's Sonata for Viu1oncello
and Piano." which is not heard very
frequently and is indeed a beautiful
work
The program was closed by a group
of short pieces for the stringed inStru-
ment, IN which Mrs. Won Bayer supplied
excellent accompaniments. They in
cluded Goltermann's "Cantilena," Rim
sky-Korsakoff's Song of India" and
"Guitarre.' by Moszkowski Mr.. Lorle-
berg showed his usual skill in interpre-
tation and command of technique.

CIVIC GROUPS PLAN
HOOVER GREETING
Citizens to Meet Monday to
Consider Celebration of

A citizens celebration on the elevation

A citizens celebration on the elevation
of Herbert Hoover to the presidency

Inauguration events. will be considered
at l o'clock Monday at a luncheon
| meeting at the Mayf1ower Hotel Of rep
resentatives of local trade and civic
groups.
Taking the first definite step toward
organization of plans for a District
celebration. aside from the official pro-
gram. the executive committee of the
Washington Chamber of Commerce
yesterday afternoon in special session
strongly Endorsed the proposal and in
vited other associations to meet in con-
ference over the question.
Invitations to name five delegates to
the joint meeting, to be held in the
Jefferson room of the Mayflower. were
sent to the Washington Board of Trade,
the Merchants and Manufacturers As
sociation, the City Club, the Women's
City Club and the Federation Of Citi-
zens' Associations.
The delegates of the chamber will be
Ivan c. Weld, president; Dorsey w.
Hyde, jr., secretary; Charles w. Darr,
first vice president, and Robert N. Har-
per and Martin A. Leese, past presi-
dents.
While the President-elect has banned
an elaborate Inauguration, it was felt
by directors of the chamber that a
local citizens celebration would not con-
f1ict with the official program.
The presidents of the three major
trade bodies and the citizens federation
have spoken in favor of the idea of a
local observance of the Inauguration
and voiced willingness to consider the
subject jointly. And the Washington
Advertising Club yesterday approved
the project. Ernest Johnson. president
of the Ad Men, will name a special
committee for the matter. The Board of
Trade, however, has deferred final de-
ciSion pending word as to whether such
celebration would prove distaSteful to
Mr.. Hoover, who has expressed a de-
sire that the inauguration be as simple
and unpretentiouS as possible.
Robert V. Fleming, president of the
District Bankers Association, also has
suggested that Mr.. Hoover be consulted
about the citizens celebration before
definite plans are laid.
Among those speaking In favor of
the celebration at the chamber directors
meeting yesterday were Charles j.
Stockman, Ernest E. Herrell, Rudolph
Jose and Mr. Weld, Mr.. Leese, Mr..
Darr and Mr.. Harper.

VESTR|S CAPTAIN
DEFENDED BY MATE
Second Officer Shared Belief
Craft Would Remain
AfI0at for Hours.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, November 28.-The
second officer of the British liner Vestris,
Just recovered from injuries received at
the time of the sinking, gave testimony
to Federal investigators yesterday tend
ing to clear the name of Capt. Carey.
He said he believed up until the time
the VestriS sank that she would float
for hours, and expressed the opinion
that the captain shared this belief. All
the information the captain had from
Chief Engineer Adams, he said, was
'reaSsuring." the engineer reporting
that his efforts to pump out the water
in the bilges apparently was succeeding.
Went Down With Captain.
The second officer. Leslie Watson, told
a dramatic story of the last "a hours
aboard the doomed vessel; how he and
the captain superintended the lowering
of the lifeboats and then when the
vessel sank, went down together. Wat
son said he had a grip on the captain
when they sank, but that they were
torn apart and that the captain never
came to the surface.
A new theory as to what caused the
fatal list of the liner was given by
Harry Wheeler. superintendent of the
Lamport g. Holt Line, the owners. He

big wave hit the liner Sunday after
noon, 18 hours before she sank, the
coal in the upper port side bunkers
shifted to the starboard, causing the
increased list.
Wheeler further declared that he
knew the Vestris was tight and sea-
worthy" when she sailed from New
York and that the explanation for her
loss must be found in occurrences aft
er sailing"
Wheeler testified that if the Vestris
put to sea on her fatal voyage with
no covers on the matches, she was un-
seaworthy.
Wheeler agreed with Capt. Jessop,
American nautical expert, that with
the seas coming up it was "the first
duty of a sea-going captain" to i'm
provise hatch covers.
Desertion Charge Repeated.
Reginald Dickson, sixth engineer on
the Vestris, testified that when all hands
we're needed most to keep the engines
running, the stokehold gang was on
deck.
Additional testimony that the colored
firemen mutinied was given at the
Steamboat Inspection Service inquiry.
