F BACK HURTS FLUSH KIDNEYS
Drink Plenty Water and Take Glass of Salts Before Break
 fast Occasionally.

When your kidneys hurt and your back feels sore. don't get scared and proceed to load your stomach with lot of drugs that excite the kidneys and irritate the entire urinary tract. Keep your kidneys clean like you keep your bowels clean, by flushing them with a mild, harmless salts which helps to remove the body's urinous waste and stimuate them to their normal activity.
 The function of the kidneys is to filter the blood. In 24 hours they strain from it 800 grains of acid and waste, so we can readily understand the vital importance of keeping the kidneys active.
 Drink lots of good water-you cant drink too much; also get from any pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts. Take a tablespoonful in glass of water before breakfast each morning 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 clean and stimulate clogged kidneys: also to neutralize the acids in the system SO they are no longer source of irritation, thus often relieving blad- der weakness.
 lad Salts is inexpensive; cannot iniure: makes a delightful effervcs- cent lithia-water drink which ev- oryone should take now and then to help keep their kidneys clean and active. Try this; also keep up the water drinking and no doubt you will wonder what became of your kidney trouble and backache.

 Cheer British Heir
 Had it not been for the gravity of King Georges condition, the trip up Italy would have taken on the aspect of hero's return to his own land. The crowds which gathered at every station were obviously respect ful of the princes anxiety, but could not forbear 10 cheer the boyish- looking British heir as he paced the platform in stained shoes and the almost nondescript hunting costume which he still wears.
 The prince, forgetting the strain of his journey for the moment, warmed the hearts of the Italians by acknowledging their cheers with the fascist salute.

 New York. Dec. II (UP)-A toast to King George. of England. asked as an expression of the American peoples sympathy with the people of England in the illness of their king. was given Ut . dinner last night in honor of Vincent Massey. first Canadian minister to the United States.

 Leaves Dover
 The Torch left Dover shortly after noon today to be ready to convey the prince to cross the channel. A cold southeast wind was blowing and the channel was hay.
 The prince is now expected to ar rive at Victoria terminal at 10:39 o'clock this evening.
 May See King
 It is uncertain whether the prince will see the king tonight. If his majesty is sleeping when Edward Albert arrives at the palace it will be obviously unwise to awaken him and the princes visit therefore will be deferred until probably at an early hour in the morning.
 With the Prince of Wales speed ing homeward as fast as he can. there are still two sons of his majes- ty far from home. The Duke of Gloucester, third son of the king. who was on hunting trip in Africa with his eldest brother. left Cape Town last Friday on board the mail steamer Balmoral Castle and is not expected to reach home until Dec. A.
 Prince George Away
 The kings youngest son, Prince George. is still serving as Lieuten- ant Windsor aboard H. M. S. Dur ban at Hamilton, Bermuda. He Is being kept informed of his fathers condition, but thus far no order has been issued directing him to return to England.
 The Duke of York, second son of the king, has been in London during the illness of his father, while Prin- cess Mary, his majesty's only daugh- ter, also has been here.

ROtarians Hear
Talk on Mexico
And Police Work

Local Rotarians enjoyed an inter.
csting and instructive meeting yes.
terday under the chairmanship of
Wayne j. Elvander, with President
Warrsn Currier presiding.
The first speaker of the day, Dir.
G. \. Thomas, former Colonization
and Industrial Agent for the South
crn Pacific Company in Mexico, re-
ceived close attention in an authori-
tative discourse on the subject of
that country and its people. DIR.
Thomas spoke of Mexico as 4 vast
empire, the wealth and potentiali-
ties of which have scarcely been
scratched and told of how closely,
in his opinion, were linked up the
future development of that empire
and of the southwestcrs United
States, and California in particular
Chief of Police forrs ,1anss. of
Calcxico, followed DIR. Thomas with
an engaging discussion ON some of
the lesser forms of crime prevalent
in our cities, together with some of
the problems of enforcement. Chief
Manss told of the abuse of policing
authorities through their use as col
lection agencies and deprecated the
inclination on the part of citizens
in giving first thought to the rccov-
cry of stolen property, for instance,
and losing sight of the obligation in.
volved in the prosecution of the
criminal.
The entertainment feature of the
day was supplied by the club quar-.
tette, composed as for some time
past of Messrs. Nern DeTar, Pcrcic
Thacker, George Paulin and Arthur
Schultz. The boys contend that they
have never been anything short of
good in their roles of songbirds. but
something about the performance OF
yesterday was so extraordinary as
to bring about veiled threat on
the part of President Currier to
send them to the Rotary Conference
to be held in Sacramento during
May.

BY BOYD D. LEWIS
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

BOSTON, March "a desire for
a man to carry on the policies of
its native son. Calvin Coolidge, ap-
pears to be the essence of Republi-
can sentiment in New England.
The New Englandcrs are loatho
to accept Mr.. Coolidgc's edo not
choose to run" statement.
While many Republicans feel that
Mr.. Coolidge, if drafted at the ma
tional convention in June, might
run, strong move in favor of
Secretary OF Commerce Herbert
Hoover is under way.
Hoover, it is felt. would carry on
the policies of the present admins
tration. This feeling is fostercd by
an apparent close relationship be
tween Hoover and the policies of
the president.
50 far as the Democrats-minor
ity party in New England-are con
cerncd. Governor Alfred f. Smith
of New York, probably is first
choice.
Interest in New England centers
upon the New Hampshire presiden-
tial primaries next Tuesday.
Although Republican policy in
that state has been against pledged
delegations since 1914. the majority
of candidates for the Kansas City
gathering have expressed them
selves in favor of Hoover.
Most of the Democratic candi-
dates for delegate at large to the
Democratic convention have pledg
ed themselves to Smith.
Perhaps the strongest organized
Hoover movement is in Maine. y
Maine Hoover Republican club is
headed by former Governor PEREZ
val P. Baxter. and includes the en-
tire Maine delegation to Congress.
Vermont. it is believed, is almost
solidlv behind Hoover as Republi-
can candidate. while Democrats
may favor Smith.
Virtually the same sentiment is to
be found in southern New England.
Massachusetts, Rhode Island and
Connecticut are lined up behind
two candidates-Republicans, HoOv-
er: Democrats, Smith.
