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 by flushing
them with water. This helps to re-
move the body's urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal &C
tivity. The function of the kidneys
is to filter the blood. In "a hours
they strain from it 500 grains Of acid
and waste, so we can readily under
stand the vital Importance of keep
ing the kidneys clean and active.
Drink lots of good water-at least
two glasses every morning about an
hour before breakfast. Also get
from any pharmacist about four
ounces of Jad Salts and add a table
spoonful to one of the glasses. Try

eral demand, is in itself useful COM
mentary on his conduct OF the Treasury
during those years.
In 1921, in the confusions of rapid
postwar deflation, the great necessary
requisite for the Secretary of the Treas

confidence of business and finance. The

Mr.. Mellon is judge of the value Of o

world of pure eStheticS. He will not buy

not buy 1t purely because he does. He
is repealed often by the character of the

blunderings of the painter. He likes q

The philosophy OF Mr.. MELONS, long
life may be summed up in the words Of
Disraeli:
Life is too short for little things"

at once stimulated that confidence and
improved morale. In entering upon his
third term there Is the further value of
his record in Office.
When he came to Washington he was
confronted by difficult job. The war
machine had to be disrnounted. Ex-
penses had to be cut. Taxes had to be
reduced. The foreign debt of Europe to
us had to be funded and the domestic
debt Of our Government to ourselves
had to be lessened. Yet the business OF
the country must be SO encouraged to
expansion that work could be found
for some 100000 jobless persons.
Coolidge economy had to descend
upon u.s. But there might also be added
Mellon economy.
Five million dollars day were saved
in the budget. The longer step was to
get the public debt in hand. During the
year before Mr.. Mellon came into the
Treasury interest charges on the debt
comprised nearly fifth of all our budget
expenses and were greater than the en-
tire cost of Government in the last year
before the war. While in the ii years
following 1917 the total amount paid
out as interest on the public debt alone
was over $4,000, 100000.
National Debt Reduced.
At the end of eight years the sum to-
tai OF the debt has been reduced more
than $4,000, 900 900. and more than SILL
900 100000 either has been paid off or
refunded at lower rates, so that the tax
payers have been saved in interest pay
ments more than $3.50 900 900 a year.
More than two and one-half million
taxpayers were relieved of the load Of
Federal income taxes. and all along the
line, from the lowest to the highest

brackets, reductions In rates were made.
And 1t was done in such way as to
grant relief to the ones who most need
| ed it. At the same time it produced the
necessary revenue for the Government
with the least hardship to business.
That famous Mellon tax plan" which
| became a part of the Mellon legend
grew out of a determination for tax
reform" as we'll as tax reduction ="
termination in the interest of the in
| terests. in brief time it demonstrated
, its soundness alike for the preservation
OF general prosperity and the protection
of the small taxpayer
In consideration of the European
debts to us Mr.. MELONS thinking con-
tinued to reflect the point Of view of
the young banker who had helped in
dustrial Pittsburgh to its growth. From
the first he believed that no demand
for payment should be made upon the
European debtor which would cripple
him in payment. Yet none stood more
firmly than he upon the principle that
a just recognition Of international OBJ
| legations is essential to international
credit.
|, Probably no moneys paid out by the
Treasury got gilded with gladder
smile from Mr.. Mellon than the dollars
that have poured into the small country
banks for the purpose of lending credits
for the farmer. Yet. when the famous
equalization fee" was thought up by
Capitol Hill Mr. Melons blast against
it was sent forth with no uncertain
sound.
This undoubtedly was due to no lack
of desire on his part to meet the needs
of the suffering farmer. 1t was because

Cox Roosevelt ticket. He was compelled
to break a practice of long standing
and issue statements to the newspapers
He intended TO vote for Harding and
Coolidge, he said.
Hoover Knew What He Wanted.
Partisan Republicans had pounced on
that incident in order to criticize Mr.
Hoover for not giving such q great office
as the Navy Secretaryship to some one
with a more substantial record of regu-
larity. But the probabilities are that
Mr.. Hoover never checked up that far
on Mr.. Adams. The new Chief Execu-
tive knew what he wanted for the Navy
Department and went out and got 1t,
Secretary Adams has brought with
him to Washington a charming lady,
who will find in the social life nothing
strange, for as girl in her teens she
was introduced to Washington society.
She was Miss Frances Lowering, the
daughter of stalwart Republican Con-
gresham. William c. Lowering of
Massachusetts,. 1t will be delight for
her to return to familiar scenes.
Neither Drinks Nor Smokes.
What else Is there TO say about the
Nays new skipper? Oh, yes, he
neither drinks nor smokes. His only
failing. his friends report. is that at
times when the wind isn't quite right
off Marblehead, or when some particu-
lar piece of canvas sail doesn't seem
to be doing its share of the work. he
Just deep sea cussing. The admirals
will not object to that. Confidentially,
they'll approve 1t.
One naturally expects the skipper OF
an International Cup defender to be
giant of man, with broad shoulders
and huge arms denoting the strength
necessary TO hold steady the wheel OF
a skimmtng yacht. But Secretary
Adams is slight. He stands not more
than feet Z inches. and he scales
little more than $50 pounds. But there
is strength written all over his slight
frame. He walks with quick, firm
step. He has the clear. alert eye or
the athlete. And his skin is of that
bronZed toughness which comes from
exposure to sun, wind and ocean
spray through nearly so Summers.
Great Sense Of Humor.
Secretary Adams could not have won
the affection of thousands of yachting
enthusiasts II ne ola not possess. DC

Of humor. The Navy Department
already knows that its new chief knows
how to chuckle inwardly, even II he
is not given to uproariouS laughter. On
the day he was sworn into Office the new
Secretary was badgered almost to the
point Of evaporation by the photog-
raphers, who fired their directions at
him. Finally. when they had steered
him to the desk he Is to occupy and
had trained their cameras on him. one
of them barked: BE busy, write some
thing"
Secretary Adams obeyed. He drew a
sheet of paper to him. He took pen
and dipped it in ink. then he wrote.
Later one of the assistant secretaries
strolled over to glance at the first writ

the sheet of paper he read:
