JESU|TS MAY HALT
FIGHT UPON ROTARY.
International President of
Club Explains Creed to Edi-
tor of Catholic Review.
BY CARROLL BINDER.

BY Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily
News. Copyright, 1929.
ROME, February 15.-There is pos
sibility that the long and bitter cam
paign of certain Catholic elements,
notably the Jesuits, against the Rotary
Club movement may be suspended, it
was learned authoritatively yesterday.
I. B. Sutton, president of the Rotary
International, accompanied by Com
mendatore Rannelletti, secretary of the
Rome Rotary, and by the secretary OF
the Genoa Rotary, has just had a long
interview with Father Enrico Rosa Of
the Society of Jesus, who is editor-in-
chief of the influential Jesuit review,
Civilta Cattolica This journal, for
several years, has been publishing
articles against Rotary on the grounds
Of it's alleged Masonic and Protestant
character and aims. These articles have
been reproduced throughout the Catholic
press, including the Vatican organ,
Osservatore Romano, for the Joint pur-
pose of attacking Rotary and keeping
Catholics out of the organization.
Mr.. Sutton and his two Italian
colleagues told Father Rosa that they
Rotary included many Catholics, in
GLIDING important Roman ecclesiasticS.
They denied any affiliations, direct or
indirect, with Masonry or any Sectarian
group. They assured the Jesuit leader
that Rotary is a social and business
organization enabling men Of affairs to
meet easily and prof1tably for mutual
advancement and that it never engages
in religious or political propaganda.
Father Rosa informed this CORE
spondent that he replied to Mr.. Sutton
and his colleagues: 81 am pleased to
hear your explanations. If they prove
true, and I don't question your honor,
am ready to publish a rectification In
the Civilta Cattolica and to discontinue
the attacks, which we're not written by
me. but by a colleague"
Civilta Cattolica will publish another
article on Rotary in its forthcoming
number, but this was written prior to
the Sutton visit.
Meantime, the declaration Wednes-
day of the consistorial congregation
concerning the "inexpediency" of men,
bership or attendance of bishops and
priests at Rotary meetings has the force
of q prohibition for the clergy. This
body is the ministry of the interior Of
the Roman Church, regulating deputies
of the bishops The order was issued
in response to an inquiry from the
Spanish bishops, but it is binding
throughout the Catholic world. It does
not apply to the Catholic laity, how
ever, and Mr.. Sutton may succeed in
convincing the consistorial congregation
of the desirability of withdrawing the
instructions.

SALTS FINE FOR
ACHING KIDNEYS

Most folks forget that the kid
neys, like the bowels, sometimes
get sluggish and clogged and need
flushing occasionally, else we
have backache and dull misery. in
the kidney region, severe head
aches, rheumatic twinges, torpid
liver, acid stomach, sleeplessness
and all sorts Of bladder disorders.
You simply must keep your kid
neys active and clean and the mo-
ment you feel an ache or pain in
the kidney region begin drinking
lots of water. Also get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any good
drug store here, take a tablespoon
full in glass of water before break
fast for few days and your kid
neys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and is intended to flush
clogged kidneys and help stimulate
them to activity. 1t also helps neu-
tralize the acids so they no longer
irritate, thus helping to relieve
bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive: makes
delightful effervescent hthia water
drink which everybody should take
now and then to help keep their
kidneys clean.
A well-known local druggist says
he sells lots of Jad Salts to folks
who believe in trying to correct

Myron c. Pagan not only rates
high in entertainment value. but
is flawlessly produced, just as
though 1t had been many weeks
in rehearsal instead of one!
Its sparkling lines produce
countless hearty laughs, but it is
equally true that other OF it's
moments appeal to the soberer
emotions with just enough OF
the spice of real drama to add
proper seasoning. 1t is a story
of the elopement and marriage of
a girl from the chorus with the
son OF the millionaire head of
chain of cigar stores. how the
girl was first reluctantly accepted
into the social sphere of the
mother-in-law. only to be dropped
when enmeshed in the chain of
circumstance, and finally vel
coined back with open arms and
complete vindication.
Mary Newton, leading woman
of the company, further endears
herself to the following which
bids fair to be legion before the
engagements end many months
away. 1t Is by no means an
easy role but Miss Newton rises
to its very opportunity. Opposite
her Wilfred Lytell unfortunately
has not great deal to do but his
role is mainly a highly SYM
pathetic one and enacted with a
full sense of its values and shad

the other hand has a lions share
