TAKE SALTS TO
FLUSH KIDNEYS
-: ' r- . ,
Eat less meat if you feel Back-
achy or fiave Bladder
trouble.
Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their
efforts to filter it from the system.
Regular eaters of meat must flush
the kidneys occasionally. You must
relieve them like you relieve your
bowels: removing all the acids, waste
and poison, else you feel a dull
misery in .the kidney-region, sharp
pains in the back or sick .headache,
dizziness, your stomach , sours,
tongue is coated and when, weather
is bad you have rheumatic twinges.
The urine is cloddy, full of sedi
ment; the channels often get irritat
ed, obliging you to get up two or
three times during the Itight.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and. flush of? the body's urinous
waste; get about four oifhces of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take a
tablespoonful in glass of water be
fore breakfast for a; few days antf
your, kidneys' wijl then act fine and
bladder disorders disappear. This
famous SSrlts -is, made trom the acid
of grapes and lemon juice? combined
with lithia, and has been used for
generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys and stop bladder
irritation.. Jad Salts is inexpensive;
harmless and makes a delightful ef

less than such high-grade silver

( The enormous saving is due to
the fact that heavy orders were

The result is an opportunity to

payment of money to members of
the bar, or others, . in this matter.
The evidence shows that Harry B.
Fleharty was promised $1,000 for
his services in the trial iu the dis
trict court, and for his work in the
supreme court, and he received for
all his services the sum of $500;
tnat cenjamin a. Baker, who ap
peared in the supreme court, was
promised $500, and, at the time of the

and that Peterson & Devoe received
$150 on July 8 xas a retainer for
their preliminary investigation, and
$100 on December 3, 1919, for their
later services. Other than this the
evidence decs not show the payment
of any money to any members o.f the
bar officers of the court, pr others.
' Recommend No Proceedings
"However much we ' might think
that an officer of the court should
use sparingly and with the finest
delicacv his ability, his influence
and .his prestige to secure executive
clemency, we do not find that such
practice is in any way prohibited by
law: nor do we find in the circum
stances of this matter a basis for
recommending anvaction or pro
ceedings against Peterson and De
voe, or either of them.
Whether the coventors con
fidence in the acting governor's in
telligent and prudent executive re
sponsibility was misplaced, whether
the acting governor's act in allowing
Kirk to be released was oerfunctory
and ill judged, whether the event
of Kirk's abuse of his 'furlough' by
becoming a fugitive from justice in
violation of his terms of release
from the penitentiary might have
been expected from and disclosed by
a more careful analysis of his his
tory and character, are not matters
to be considered except as they may
bear upon the conduct of officers of
this court.
"The facts that 'furloughs' had be
come conventional, that adminis
trative interpretation sanctioned
them, that bad faith en the part of
the attorneys does not appear in the
evidence, constrain us to recommend
that no proceedings be had against
any member of the bar or oiheers
ot the court.

The League of Women Voters,
which is to replace the old suffrage
organization, is designed to become
a medium through which the wo
men of the nation may give expres
sion to their political desires. It is
to be nonpartisan in character, but
is intended to attora a meaium
through which women of all polit
ical beliefs may work for the success
of political measures in which wo
men of the nation have a united in
terest. The welfare ot women in in
dustry will be one of the chief con
cerns of the new organization.
The convention also will be a
memorial to the late Dr. Anna How

the birth of Susan B. Anthony, the
pioneer stinragist ot tlie United j
States.

Equal Suffrage association, which
boasts a membership of 250,000, is
another leader.
Mrs.s Jacob Bauer, of Chicago,

men in the United States, was a&tive
in making arrangements for the con

as a manufacturer and wholesaler, and it was not until 1886 that Omaha
got him. Today this little business has grown until it is doing more
than $13,500,000 anuually.
