To help neutralize these irritating
acids and flush off the body'S uri-
nous waste, begin drinking water
Also get about four ounces OF Jad

tablespoonful in glass of water
before breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys may then act fine and

BRAND MAY Be
URGED TO TAKE
CABINET HELM
Public Sentiment Is Likely
to Force Statesman to
Accept Post.
BIZ Tnitef Press

By United PTess
PARIS, Nov. ANDRE Tardieu
occupied the center Of the political
stage today by reason of his efforts
TO form a cabinet that could sue
ceed the BRAND cabinet, which fell
in the chamber last week.
Having accepted the job of cabi-
net making, after Etienne Clemen-
tel, president of the senate finance
commission, had renounced it, Tar
dieu, who is Republican of the
center and unattached to any of the
left groups, indicated that he ex-
pected to build coalition leaning
toward the right, but including some
leaders of the radical Socialists and
other groups.
It was considered likely today that
any of the left parties would accept
his invitation to join him. Without
their collaboration, he hardly could
be expected to form a government
that would last. For that reason
political observers contemplated his
efforts with skeptical eyes.
1t generally was thought Tardieu
had even less chance of winning
the support of the left groups than
Clementel, whose efforts in that di-
rection collapsed completely when
he refused to concede the ministry
OF interior to the Radical-Socialist
leader, Edouard Daladier.
In view of the peSsimistic at
mosphere which has developed
around the whole situation, many
quarters are convinced that Aristide
BRAND still remains the only man
who can bring the crisis to an end.
The successive failure Of other
leaders to stabilize the situation
conceivably can create condition
where BRAND would find himself
compelled by public sentiment to
undertake the trials of another
premiership.
Having refused Doumergue's IN
vitation once, it is not thought like
II that BRAND would refuse a sec
Ond time.
