LIEBKNECHT IS SEEKING SPREAD OF RED REVOLT Radical Leader is Accused of Effort to Implant Doctrines ot Bolshevism Among German Soldiers. Berlin, Nov. 25. (By Associated Press.) Dr. Karl Liebknecht, the radical socialist leader, is devoting himself primarily to au effort to in fluence the men returning from the front. His henchmen comprise a small armyof red soldiers, who arc accused of packing various meetings sufficiently to secure the majority necessary to push through measures calculated to embarrass the present government. Dr. Liebknecht's agitation is the official propaganda of the Spartacus group of extreme radicals. He chief ly directs his attacks at the pro posed, national assembly. The indi cations, however, are that his ef fort to. win over the returning sol diers has failed absolutely and yes terday's meeting was marked by the violent opposition of soldiers. The radical leader's principal ap peal is to the proletariat. Rosa Lux embourg is ably seconding Dr. "Liebknecht . Her oratory is of the loquacious and fire-eating .brand. The Spartacus group meetings are invariably attended by numerous women. Philip Scheidemarra. in Vorwaerts. declares th'at the insecurity of the government may be deduced from the undisturbed activity of the Spar tacus faction, "who in their press, their pamphlets and their meeting, are endeavoring to win over the sol diers for bolshevism.

The deceit was discovered and notwithstanding apologies" to the effect tha,t a misunderstanding was responsible for the attempted seizure, the red guards were ar rested .and interned at police head quarters. Von Mackensen's army is on its way through Austria for Germany. Huns Are Accused of Pillaging Up Id Tiftie of Armistice Signing Paris. Nov. 25.

To reverse this tremendous business machine is thetask upon which it is now engaged and the efficiency of its business organization is be ing manifested in its quick accom modation to entirely changed cir cumstances. "When the American forces first began coming to France there was a great scarcity of ocean tonnage. It was impossible for many months to ship more than 300,000 or 400,000 tons of supplies to the forces, not withstanding the great necessity for engineering and general construc tion equipment. Search for mater ial in Europe, therefore, hadto be conducted with the greatest possible energy over a wide field. Has Agencies Everywhere. .

Hair is by far the most conspic uous thing about us and is probably the most easily damaged by bad or careless treatment. If we are very careful in hair washing, we will have virtually no hair troubles. An especially fine shampoo for this weather, one that brings out all the natural beauty of the hair, that dis solves and entirely removes all dan druff, excess oil and dirt, can easily be used at trifling expense by sim ply dissolving a teasponful of Can throx (which you can" get at any druggist's), in a cup of hot water. This makes a full cup of shampoo liquid, enough so it is easy to appl it to all the hair instead, of just the top xf the head. This' chemically dissolves all impurities and creates a soothing, cooling lather. Rinsing leaves the scalp spotlessly clean, soft and pliant, while the hair takes on the glossy richness of natural color, also a fluffiness 'which makes it seem much heavier than it is. After canthrox shampoo, arranging the hair is a pleasure. Adv. . t QUIT MEAT WHEN KIDNEYS BOTHER Take a glass of Salts Before breakfast if your Back hurts or Bladder, is troubling you.

Meat forms uric acid which excites the kidneys, they become over-worked from the strain, get sluggish and fail to filter the waste and poisons from the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and urinary disorders come from sluggish kidneys. The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts or if the urine is cloudy, affensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or attended by a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat and get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any phar macy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast and in a few dts your kjdneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapesand lemon juice, combined with litma, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate the kidneys, also to neutralize he acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus end ing bladder weakness.
