If Kidneys Act Bad Take Salts Says Backache Often Means You Have Not Been Drinking Enough Water When yon wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region It may mean you have been eat ing foods which create acids, says a well-known authority. An excess ol such acids overworks the kidneys Id their effort to filter It from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get slug gish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels, remov ing all the body’s urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weath er is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. Either consult a good, reliable phy sician ut once or get from your phar macist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys may then act fine. Tills famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lltliia, and has been used for years to help clean and stim ulate sluggish kidneys, also to neu tralize acids in the system, so they no longer irritate, thus often relieving bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in jure and makes a delightful, efferves cent llthla-water drink. Drink lots of good water.

The city solicitor’s opinion that the city government is without pow ed to pass an ordinance punishing jay-walking pedestrians bears out the correctness of former Mayor Sullivan’s course a few years back In vetoing a measure which would have given the police control of pedestrian traffic. It appears to be the inalienable right of the man on foot to pop out into the traffic any where at any time. To deprive him of that privilege might prolong his days but would be an unwarrantable invasion of his sacred liberties. As vehicular traffic increases, the pedestrian adds to its complexities and to his own jeopardy. In Wor cester he has contempt for cross walks and for traffic lights. He crosses Main street anywhere, dart ing from behind parked cars. He strolls fearlessly toward mid-high way while the green light sends ve hicles on—and for that you can't olame him much because what with ■ight turns on the red he never sees the way clear before him. He is ap parently as indifferent to the chances of a nudge by a five-ton truck as he is to the elbowing of a fellow walker. He survives surpris ingly, but he makes a lot of peril for himself and a lot of nervousness for drivers. Of course the pedestrian gets the first consideration He is entitled to it. There are still more of him than there are of car operators, al though it is not sure that this con tinue indefinitely. He can’t hurt anything by bumping into it and it is necessary that he go about his lawful occasions. New York arrests him now and then for “obstructing traffic” as he attempts street navi gation when and where he should not. Boston is preparing to deal with him a bit. There are other cities which restrain him by charg ing him with “disorderly conduct” or “breach of the peace." but in the main he does as he pleases. The problem is to give him the full measure of his rights, to afford him the fullest possible facilities for movement, but still keep him alive and keep at the minimum the num bers of homicide charges against chauffeurs. It is not an easy problem to solve, particularly when one finds as in Worcester that there must be no oppressive legal interference with the pedestrians prerogative to butt his head against a radiator. Our excellent chief of police can only hope for more “co-operation.” Our Safety Council can only counsel caution. Our city solicitor can only point out that we cannot punish by pinching. The facts are the facts and the law is the law. The matter of impeding vehicular traffic is by comparison unimport ant, but the matter of hazaid to life is serious. It seems to be or dinary common sense that in some way people should be persuaded or compelled not to attempt the cross ing of heavily travelled streets at other than established crossings and not to attempt crossing even here when traffic light and traffic officer are speeding on the vehicles. For our own part we haven't much faith in anybody’s powers of persuasion. Others’ Views BRING .FACTORY NEARER FARM From the Minneapolis Journal. Paraphrasing Horace Greely, O R. Sweeney. of Iowa State college, advises young industry to “go west. ’ Millions of tons of the raw ma terials from which 3C.G00 different articles of commerce can be profit ably manufactured, are now going to waste in the middle west, he points out. What Mr. Sweeney has in mind is the great variety of waste farm products disclosed by recent labora tory discoveries as potential basic materials for industry production Paper of many grades, rayon, wall board, fireproof tile, synthetic lum ber. insulating materials, furfural and other useful commodities can be fabricated out of cornstalks, corn- j cobs, oat hulls and other farm waste and Mr. Sweeney, addressing the American Chemical Institute a while back, estimated this waste at 1,000, 000 000 tons a year. Utilization of an annual waste of l.OOO.OPO.COO tons of agricultural products would, of course, be of in calculable benefit to the farmers of the northwest and middle west. But this is not the only benefit for agriculture, and for the rest of us, inhering in a speeding up of the westward trend of industry. A herding of industries on the Atlantic seaboard far from the sources of industry's raw materials and far from the sources cf the foodstuffs required by industry’s millions of workers, invo’ve a sheer waste of transportation that Is very large. More than half the food for thes» workers is carried to them long dis tances from points of origin in the Mississippi valley. Nearly half the raw materials which these workers process are carried to them long distances, from points of origin in the Mississippi valley. And heavy percentages of the finished products turned jut by these workers are then carried long distances book to the Mississippi valley tor sale. Any tense in all this needless hauling back and forth? Not much. Some Climate* Are Bad Ellsworth Huntington in Harper's Among the various climatic lim its those of indivdual existence, re production and civilization are es pecially mportant. So far as civil ized man is concerned, the climatic limit of individual existence is prob ably not reached on the earth’s surface. No place s so cold or hot, so dry or wet, so windy or still, so monotonous or so variable, that In dividuals cannot survive. In primitive times and in the glacial period, however, half of the earth's surlace may have been ao wad that unprotected savages wuuld , Western producers and consumers pay for this waste Press Comment SENOR CALLES’ EXPERIMENT Prom Chicago Tribune The renunciation of office by President Calles is unique in Mexi can history and has lew precedents in the history of the Occident, though in China there have been in times long past some remarkable abandonments of high place. Senor Calles will not retire to write coup lets or epigrams upon human des tiny. at least we understand he has more prosaic interests, yet we can hardly believe he will find it possible to disentangle himself from Mexican politics, however sincerely he may wish to do so. Whether he will compelled to return to active lea ership or will be able to exert a con trolling influence by counsel as Jet ' ferson in our political history did long after his retirement from office, only time will tell. Meanwhile we doubt that the Mexican people have arrived at a stage of political de velopment which promises success for such a regime of free party com petition and parliamentary govern ment as he invites them to try. Ssnor Calles has made a splendid gesture. Doubtless it would be fairer to say he has set an inspiring ex ample. Certainly what has oeen mo t obviously and decisively wrong in the history of the Mexican repub lic has been the lack of disinterested public spirit. Spanish colonial rule did not prepare men lor republican responsibilities as the experience of the American colonies prepared the American statesmen who framed the constitution and conducted our af fairs during the difficult formative years of the United States, and we shall be surprised if Mexico today finds leaders who ere at once compe tent and disinterested, to say noth ing of a body politic W'hich is pre pared for republican responsibilities. Perhaps the surviving generals or military leaders whose day is done, according to Senator Calles. will consent to elimination under the in fluence of his example. But even have frozen to death had they tried to live there. Even now in regions like Greenland and Auntactica the well equipped, vigorous, adult white man stands an extremely good chance to remain year alter year In such places families cannot survive. Until our skill increases very materially, it would be suicidal to attempt to raise a family on the antarctic ice sheet where the in trepid Scott froze to death. It would be almost equally foolish to make the attempt in Death Valley where the thermometer rises above 135 de grees, and the summer is one long jiiEComfort because one’s tissues call that, while highly desirable and oven necessary to the initiation af a civil state, is only one itep forward. End less political faction is less cruel but little less futile than military disor der, and well wishers of Mexico will hope not only that the caudillos will 1 retire from the arena but that po litical factionalists will find some way of composing a party peace for a iew years such as gave a little breathing space to our own nation during the first years of the republic. That space was brief with us. It was barely enough. Mexico will oe lucky indeed if her politicians give any peace whatever and we think the release of authority and direct control of Senor Calles does not bet ter the slim prospect. All that he said in his patriotic address before congress is true, but are the control ling elements in Mexican public life ready to receive such a message and live up to it?

Had you by chance to a lawyer gone, Bills of indictments and pro and con To-wit, whereas and heretofore Were all you’d have known till you life is o’er. Bills of injunctions and common pleas Would have been the fruit of your glistening keys. Had you come into a doctor’s hands You'd have written papers cn thy roid glands, And your types had labored with curious terms And the horrible names of horrible germs, But I haven’t a doubt you’d have done it well If the doctor who used you had learned to spell. But now you are mine and I look you o’er And wonder what verses you have in store. What lines lie hidden among those keys. And when you have written them will they please?
