Mating too much rich food creates
acids, which excite the kidneys. They
become overworked from the strain,
gel sluggish and fail to filter the w aste
and poisons from the blood. Then we
get aick. Rheumatism, headaches,
liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness,
sleeplessness and urinary disorders
often come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel n dull ache In
the kidneys, or your back hurts, or If
the urine Is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalding, be
gin drinking a quart of water each
day. also get about four ounces of .lad
Malls frig a any pharmacy; take a
Iablespconfid In a glass of water be
fore breakfast and In a few days your
kidneys may act fine.
This famous salts Is made from the
add of grapes and lemon juice, com

for years in flush and stimulate the
kidneys; also to help neutralize the
uelds in the system, so they no longer

bladder weakness.

| NO ONE RESPECTS A LIAR.
E. W. Howe.
I find great pteasure in a truth

. . . But. no one pays any atten

him. I have never known a really

Men of that disposition soon learn,
if engaged in real affaire success

SONG
Oh. I would weave a little song
Out of the flowers of my heart.
And I’d entwine them one by one
With clever twist an1, nimble da't.
I’d add the bitterness of tears.
The sweetness of a soul-sprung smile,
The disillusionment of years,
The triumph asted for awhile.
I'd mix the colors of my moods
The tans and grays of dull despair,
the reds and golds that surge with
joy.
The hues of happiness and care.
And all the fragrance of a life
Would breathe itself into my song,
At times a crooning lullaby.
Again, a Hallelujah—strong!
And would you take my little song
And understand its softlike pleading?
Or would you crush it to the ground
And leave it bruised and bleeding?

“Sweet Are the Uses of Adversity.”
From the Los Angeles Times.
Five hundred thousand members
were lost by the Protestant church
es last year, is the startling report
of an official statistician for religi
ous bodies in America.
Reaction came immediately from
the headquarters of the Presbyterian
denomination and the following rea
sons were assigned lor the slump:

ing influences upon the spiritual life;
negligence of shepherds going after
the lost sheep; pruning of member
ships; the high cost of church affilia
tion. . . .
As to this condition of organized
Christianity, some facts are note
worthy. We spend more than 15 times
as much on ambulances at the bot
tom of the precipice in taking care
of crime as we do on fences at the
top. . . . Our bill for chewing gum
and cosmetics makes the cost of
churches picayunish.
It is possible that a greater candor
of the times in cutting out dead tim
ber from constituency rolls . has
something to do with the slump. We
may have been guilty of worshiping
statistics.
For the ministers to accuse them
selves of laxness is healthful. Con
fession is curative. But we question
whether any or all of these answers
are satisfactory. We mav even take
the worn groove of the line of least
resistance and blame it on the war.
It is good peace propaganda.
Can it be that the condition of the
church goes deeper? May it be pos
sible that we cannot stand prosper
ity?
All sunshine makes empty pews.
Clouds fill the hardest benches. Dis
asters drive to the knees. . . . Dean
Inge is credited with the saying that
the church’s success is her failure.
Victory is often our greatest defeat.
When folks are in trouble, they
dust off the Bible When their lcrders
are fuli of meat and their wardrobe -
full of clothes, the lines to the skies
tend to fall into disuse.
When the grades are rut down and
It is made easy to enter Yosemite and
Heaven, we lose the rest. The cost of
Christianity dees not seem to be too
great, but too little.
The blood of the martyrs mav yet

Comic-Opera “Statesmen” Gradually
Giving Way to Normal Business Men
By Bruce C'atton. NEA Service.
The traditional statesman, with his frock coat, string tie
and silver tongued oratory, is extinct; and Senator Henry F,
Ashurst of Arizona sees no reason to bewail his passing.
“Today’s statesman," says Senator Ashurst to a midwest
real estate board, “is a businesslike gentleman in an ordinary
business suit, who either has wide knowledge of businesr
affairs or is doing his best to accumulate that necessary knowl
edge."
For this age, the senator explains, is the age of science and
business. We no longer have red Indians to kill, wild forests
to clear, menacing foreign enemies to repel. Our problems
call for the business man, the banker, the engineer and th*
chemist, not the politician.
There is nothing really new in 1 his statement. But it needs
to be emphasized every so often. We are too apt to try to use
19th century standards and instruments in a 20th century
world. It is up to us realize that the old order has passed,
forever, and that the America of today is not the America of
Lincoln's day.
All change is apt to be a bit frightening. It is easy to mis
take growing pains for the symptoms of mortal illness. Ac
cordingly, it is not surprising that a great many people are
worried over America's future. We find “liberals" every
where lamenting the passing of the old public interest in
politics, crying out that we will lose our liberties because we
are indifferent to elections and issues, shuddering at the fact
that power is passing to the harfds of the industrialist and the
banker.
We need to forget the romantic past and become realists.
We have no Websters and Calhouns today; well, what of it T
They would be helpless if they were here. Our national destiny
is being shaped less and less at Washington, more and more
in New York banks, Detroit auto factories, Schenectady
laboratories and the mills of Pittsburg and Birmingham.
Maybe this is too bad and maybe it isn’t; at any rate that is
the way of it, and the sooner we realize it the better for us.
When America adopted mass production it started out on
an entirely new tack in civilization. Never before did any na
tion set out to live by the machine. We have started on a
path from which we could not turn back if we would; why not
wake up to that fact and stop thinking in terms of 1880?
Upon what does our future chiefly depend? lake it or not,
it depends chiefly on that magic word prosperity. If our nation
is to be healthy and happy its factory chimneys must be
belching smoke. Yon can laugh at Babbit if you will, you can
lament ‘‘standardization” and “factory civilization” until you
are out of breath, but you can’t change that fact. It were bpst
to face it.
No one knows what the future holds. It certainly will he
unlike anything that has gone before. And are there not in*
dcations that it will be more dazzling, more splendid, as well?
AYe are being freed in a way our forefathers never imagined;
freed from toil, from poverty, from hunger, from the limi
tations of time and space. Presently we shall be free enough
so that each man, from the highest to the lowest, can begin to
develop his boundless human potentialities.
AVe are at the dawning of a new era. There is no need for
lamentation.
Not Bothering Gougers.
From the Milwaukee Journal
Secretary Hoover and Secretary
Jardine want congress to permit buy
ing pools to offset increasing con
trol of certain products by foreign
monopolies, which have the natural
instinct of all monopolies to raise
prices. Mr. Hoover says that the
world is dangerously near a rubber
shortage because of British restric
tion of output. Perhaps something
useful may be done by combined bu> - j
ing, through the rial cure for price |
boosting is stimulation of other
sources of supply. Senator Smoot j
said the other day that legislation i
cannot upset natural laws, but that's
