METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE St. Paul, Minnesota. The first meeting of the Color-Miniers of the Twin Cities ever held, was called by Rev B. M. Murrell pastor of Pilgrim Baptist church Tuesday afternoon in the Director's of Union Hall, St. Paul at 2:30 o'clock. The meeting was well attended by the colored pastors, and each expressed his full appreciation of the purpose of the meeting, and his approval of affecting a permanent organization for the mutual helpfulness of the colored pastors. On Tuesday, March 14, the second meeting will be held in Guild Hall of St. Phillips Episcopal church. At this meeting the matter of organizing the pastors of the twin cities' churches for colored people will be the subject for consideration. The following are the names of the miniers in church of the Minneapolis, and St. Paul churches. Rev. D. E. Beasley, Bethsula Baptist church Minneapolis. Rev. M. W. Wthers, Zion Bapt. Minneapolis. Rev. E. H. McDonald Memorial (irregular) Baptist St. Paul. Rev. B. N. Murrell Pilgrim Baptist St. Paul. Rev. A. H. Lealtad St. Phillips Episcopal church St. Paul and Minneapolis. Rev. T. B. Stovall St. Petera A. M. E. Minneapolis. Rev. F. J. Peterson St. James A. M. K. Minneapolis Rev. H. P. Simma St. James A. M. E. St. Paul. Rev. G. W. Camp Zion Presbyterian St. Paul. Rev. Robert Strong St. James A. M. E. Mission St. Paul. Rev. S. L. Theobald, Catholic church St. Paul. Each of these churches has creditable property and able ministers. The people are a few points above Par intellectually and very liberal financially. Within the aggregate membership are to be found men and women engaged in many professions, businesses and trades. Many Colleges, Universities and Conservatories are represented in these congregations by their graduates. The California Jubilee Quartet Headquarters in Los Angeles, California, are filling a two weeks engagement in the Twin cities. These are four educated christian gentlemen of which the race is proud. While in the cities two of them are guest of Rev. and Mrs. B N. Murrell. Three of them are staunch members of the Zion Baptist church of Seattle, Washington. Their only engagement to sing in a colored church is in Pilgrim Baptist church, Monday, March.19. A full house is expected to hear them. Rev. H. G. Beeman, pastor of the First Baptist church (white) died at his home Sunday, March 5, at 1:45 P. M. after ten days sickness. Dr. Beeman ended his fourth year's work in St. Paul, March 1st. The church has never had a more prosperous period in its history than it has the past 4 years. Just the past month he was invited to the First Baptist church o Thomas, Wash., at a salary of $5000 a year. Upon his return home while considering the propersition to go to Washington. Dr. Bieman was strucken suddenly with Cerebri Apoplexy which caused his death. He was an out spoken, unbiased christian minister, a Baptist of the New Testament Type. The Crispus Attuck's Home Association is now in the midst of a $1000 oo campaign. This is a twin cities' organization the work of which is to pay for the five acre tract of land lying between the two cities occupied by the Crispus Attuck's Home for Colored children and Aged people. $500 oo of this amount will be raised in each city. The services in the St. Paul churches were well attended Sunday. Many strangers and visitors were in evidence. The California Quartet worshipped at Pilgrim Baptist Sunday morning. Mrs. E. C. James who for ye a traveled abroad with the Fiske Jubilee singers, is singing with the Pilgrim church choir Mrs. Tyler of the A. M. E. church sang a solo at Pilgrim Sunday Morning. In the discussion of the subject, "Jesus Christ The Bread of Life," Dr. B. N. Murrell was at his best Sunday at 11:00 A.M. Many cried out with expressions of joy. Several city officials were present at the evening service. Hon John R. Lynch will speak in St. Paul on Mareh 27. Dr. DuBois is expected to be in the twin cities about the 23 of March Miss Nannie H. Burroughs is arranging to speak in Pilgrim Baptist church about March 16. Rev. H. P. Simms is planning to begin his revival in St. James A. M. E. church about March 26. A great revival is expected to come as the results of the visitation of the Spirit of God upon his people in that church. W. H. GREENE. ROGER WILLIAMS UNIVERSITY NOTES. The enthusiasm over the rally is increasing every day. The singers are on the road reporting a success in every way. The prospects are that the results for good will be noticed from a numerical view point in the coming year. The concert given at the State Normal Institution last night was a great success, it was given under the auspices of the "Revs," all are working quietly but assiduously. Our students are beginning to wonder what will the harvest be in the near future when the final test shall come. The Y. M. C. A. will hold their public installation of officers on the 4th Sunday in April. The Sunday School is doing a great work under the leadership of Prof. A. O. Bennett. Miss K. C. Wright one of the singers has returned in order to prepare for the coming oratorical contest. Reu. J, N. Washington. SPARTA Dear Editor: I am glad of the permission to speak through your worthy paper. Our Sunday School opened at 9:30 a.m. by the assistant Supt. J. J. Taylor and great interest MOTTO : " HOW TO THE LINE, LET THE CRAFT BALL WHERE THEY MAY." The School was timely reviewed by Rev. J. D. Davis, of Colps, Rev. Davis is a mighty man of God and has been preaching some strong sermon to mea and women all last week and many came to the anxious seat for prayer. We are glad to have this God sent man with us in this meeting. At 11:00 a. m. Rev. Davis, ascended the rostrum and read for consideration Prov 76 chapter. Text, Rev. 5:5 Subject, There is a Lion in the way. At 3:30 p. m the church reassembled, and held prayer and praise services and everyone was made to rejoice in the God of their Salvation, in the meantime Rev. Davis delivered a strong gospel sermon from Matt. 9:17. At 7:30 Rev. Davis, preached a powerful sermon from James 1:14. The house was crowded beyond its seating capacity. We had a glorious meeting all day. Rev. J. A. Sherman, of A. M. K. church and his congregation unite in the meetings with ball forces. This seems to make the meeting a united spiritual blessing from above. We are going to run our meeting through next week with the help of God and Rev. Davis, and we hope for success. We were blessed financially today. Collection $17 55. Mrs. Anna Nance invited Rev. French and Davis, to dinner Sunday where they enjoyed a well prepared meal and express a desire to be invited again. Mr. J. M Haynes was indisposed last week. Mrs. Grace Gaithas of Mt. Vernoo. Ill., is visiting her mother Mrs. Mattie Haynes this week. UNIONVILLE, ILL. Dear Editor: Would you allow me to use a short space of column in your paper concerning a religious work of Siloam Baptist church on our last Sabbath day which was a very beautiful day and also our regular church day. Rev. J. H. Knowles, our worthy pastor was with us Sunday and delivered unto us three sermons which were enjoyed by all. We had a reasonable good attendance of members and friends also a number of visiting Christian Disciples and Revs. J. M. Blake, our ex-pastor, A. Jones and J. Kelley of our sister A. M. E. church. We are moving along nicely with the expectation when the Association convenes that we may represent either by letter or delegate. H. T. King. Church Clerk. DUQUOIN, ILL. Dear Editor: We are glad to say once more that the St. Paul Baptist church is getting along nicely so far. The meeting which has just closed will always be remembered. The meeting began the next week after the East Mount Olive Board Meeting and it was indeed a grand meeting. There were a- 2 bout 47 converts, including the one which was converted during the board meeting. The addition to the church during the three weeks meeting were 51. 31 of which were baptized in the new pool on the 1st Sunday. And on that day that was the largest gathering that ever assembled in this church the numbered between four and five hundred. It is a glory to say among the ones which have connected themselves to the church during the meeting were about 14 young men between the ages of 19 to 30. There was about 19 or 20 children. Our pastor has done more for the uplift of the church in the 30 days than have been done for the church in a number of years. The new choir which now sings has the echo of 35 voices. We asked an interest in your prayers. Reporter. A MINISTER FINED. Rev. J. D. Harley, (white) was fine five dollars and costs Monday in the city court for what was termed a disturbance of the peace. The evidence showed that he had gone to the home of Louis Trovillion, a member of his church and required as to his non attendance, and during the time some unpleasant words passed between them. Then Trovillion ordered him from his home, at the same time using force to eject him from his premises. Later Rev Harley, was arrested on the above named charge with the result mentioned. The Judge, stated that the language used was not enough to cause a breach of the peace by the minister, but it appeared from the evidence that the minister used a chair to ward off the blows, therefore as he took hold of the chair he would be fined for disturbing the peace. Trovillion was then fined five dollars and costs for taking hold of the minister and forcing him out of his residence. So you see that the city trap is set so as to catch them both going and coming. Pastors better be more careful in visiting the homes of non attendants to duty, or you will be liable to a whipping and a fine under the present city law and ruling of the Courts. In the language of the Bible, quoted by city attorney Holm. "Be wise as serpents and harmless as doves." Rev Harley, was a strong factor in the late wet and dry election, much credit is due him for the dry victory WATER NAME Little Florence climbed upon her teacher's lap on her birthday and put her nurse around his neck.

ROOT SHOWS BIS ERRORS. Addison on Temporary Chairmans of New York Republican Convention Points Out Bite of Boastful Combation and Omission—"Who Have Lost Influence Because Who Have Don Envoys in Words and Involve in Action?" In his address as temporary chairman of the New York state Republican convention, delivered in Carnegie Hall, New York, the Hon. Elissa Root said: "We are enturing upon a contest for the election of a president and the control of government under conditions essentially new as the experience of our party and of our country. The forms and methods which we are absent to follow are old and familiar, but the grounds for action, the demand of great events for decision upon national conduct, the moral forces nagging to a solution of vaguely outlined questions, the tremendous consequence of wisdom or folly in national policy, all these are now to the great mass of American voters now living. Navar since 1864 has an election been brought with consequences so vital to national life. All the ordinary considerations which play so great a part in our presidential campaigns are and ought to be drawn into insignificance. Democratic Party to the Bar. For the first three in twenty years we enter the field as the party of opposition, and indeed it is a much longer time, far in 1850. In all respects save the tariff, the real opposition to the sturdy and patriotic course of President Cleveland was to be found in the party that followed Mr. Bryan. It is our duty as the opposition to bring the Democratic party to the bar of public judgment, to put it upon its defense so far as we see just and substantial grounds to criticize its conduct and to ask the voters of the country to decide whether that party, organized as it is represented as it has been since it came into power, has shown itself competent to govern the country as it should be governed and whether its great its policies, and its performance as the best that the American people can do in the way of popular self government. In the fall of domestic affairs some facts relevant to these questions had already been ascertained when in August, 1914, the great European war began. During the year and a half of Democratic control of government in a period of profound space there had been a steady decrease in American production, in exports and in revenues and a steady increase in imports and expenditures. Enterprise had halted. The Democratic tariff had been framed upon an approved repudiation of all pretices, however moderate and reasonable, and because all protection was repudiated practically all information from competent witnesses as to the effect new provisions would have upon business was rejected. It was with just cause that the enterprise of the country halted, thinned and insoluble because it felt and feared the hostility of government. Foreign Competition After War. The great war has not changed the lesson which we had already learned when it began. It has but obscured further demonstration. It has caused an enormous demand for some things which the United States is able to produce in large quantities, and in these lines of production, while other industries still languish, there have been extensive employment of labor, great exports and a great influx of money. But this is temporary. It must soon cease, and when the factories have stopped and their laborers are no longer employed we must deal with a situation for which wise forethought should make provision. More important still, the war has paralyzed the peaceful industries of all Europe and has stopped that competitive foreign production which in July, 1914, had already entered American markets to supercharge American products under the tariff law of 1918. The war has thus given to American products an immunity from competition far more effective than any possible protective tariff. But that is temporary, and when the war is over, when foreign production begins again, the American market compared with impoverished Europe will be more than ever before the object of desire and effort, and we shall become the dumping ground of the world to the destruction of our own industries unless that is prevented by a wise and competent government. How Can We Defend Ourself? But it is not from dorsotic questions that the most difficult problems of this day arise. The events of the last few years have taught us many lessons. We have learned that civilization is but a veneer thinly covering the savage nature of man. How can this nation, which leven peace and intends justice, avoid the curse of militarism and at the same time preserve its independence, defend its territory, protect the Five and Liberty and property of its citizens? How can we prevent the same principles of action, the same policies of conduct, the same forces of military power which are exhibited in Europe from laying hold upon the vast territory and practically undefended wealth of the new world? Have we still national ideals? Will anybody live for them? Would anybody die for them? Or are we all the same and comfort and wealth at any price? Confronted by such questions as them and the practical situations which give rise to them, is the country satisfied to trust itself again in the hands of the Democratic party? Impotent Intolerance in Mexico. Impatient Inference in Mexico. The United States had rights and duties in Mexico. More than 40,000 of our citizens had sought their fortunes and made their bodies there. A thousand millions of American capital had been invested in that productive country. But revolution had come, and fractional warfare was战时. Americans had been murdered, American property had been wantonly destroyed, the lives and property of all Americans in Mexico were in danger. That was the situation when Mr. Wilson became president in March, 1918. His duty then was plain. It was first, to use his powers as president to secure protection for the lives and property of Americans in Mexico and to require that rules of law and stipulations of treaties should be observed by Mexico toward the United States and its citizens. His duty was second, to the head of a foreign power to respect the independence of Mexico, to refrain from all interference with her internal affairs from all attempts at domination except as he was justified by the law of nations for the protection of American rights. The president of the United States failed to observe either of those duties. He deliberately abandoned them both and followed an entirely different and inconsistent purpose. He intervened in Mexico to add one faction in civil write against another. He undertook to pull down Mexico and set Curranus up in his place. Arms and munitions of war were freely furnished to the northern forces and withheld from Huerta. Finally the president sent our army and navy to invade Mexico and capture his great respect, Vora Cruz, and hold it and throttle Mexican commerce until Huerta full. Aurélia Ouvertoad in Moyen Americans Outraged in Mexico. The government of the United States intervened in Mexico to control the internal affairs of that independent country and to enforce the will of the American president in those affairs by threat, by economic pressure and by force of arms. Upon what claim of right did this intervention proceed? Not to secure respect for American rights, not to protect the lives or property of our citizens, not to assert the laws of nations, not to compel observance of the law of humanity. On the contrary, Huerta's was the only power in Mexico to which appeal could be made for protection of life or property. That was the only power which, in face, did protect either American or European or Mexican. It was only within the territory where Huerta rushed that comparative peace and order provided. The territory over which the armed power of Carrman and Villa and their associates extended was the theater of the most appalling crimes. Rands of robbers raved the country with unbridled violence. Americans and Mexicans alike were at their mercy, and American men were outraged with impunity. Thousands were reduced to poverty by the wanton destruction of the industries through which they lived. Yet the government of the United States ignored, condoned, the murder of American men and the rape of American women and destruction of American property and result to American officers and detainment of the American flag and joined itself to the men who were guilty of all these things to pull down the power of Huerta. Why? The president himself has told us. It was because he adjudged Huerta to be a usurpant, because he deemed that the common people of Mexico ought to have greater participation in government and share in the land, and he bellowed that Carrman and Villa would give them those things. We must all sympathize with these sentiments, but there is nothing more dangerous than unplaced sentiment. When our army landed at Vera Cruz Carvansa himself, who was to be the chief beneficiary of the act, publicly protested against it. So strong was the resentment that he could not have kept his followers otherwise. When Huerta had fallen the new government which for the day had succeeded to his place peremptorily demanded the withdrawal of the American troops. The universal sentiment of Mexicans required the peremptory demand, and the troops were withdrawn. Still worse than that, the taking of Vera Cruz destroyed confidence in the sin- Testimony Proves Falseness of Statements as to Onerous Taxation and Conscription. “The attempt to check emigration from the United States to our prairie provinces by publishing alarming state- ments about the enormous war taxes that are being paid here—$500 on a qucrter section yearly—about forcing your. men to enlist for the war; ‘bout the cold, no crops and any old story that by their extravagant bold- ness might influence men and women from venturing north to Canada, is real ly tn the list of curios to our people.

We gtve the statements of two farmers in this Issue as follows:— STATEMENT OF M. P. TYSDAL. I lived near Lee, Ilinols, for 46 years. I came to Saskatchewan in the spring of 1912 and bought land near Briercrest. 1 have farmed this land, 1,680 acres, ever since. I have had grand crops. In 1914 I had 100 acres ‘of wheat that, yielded 40 bushels to the acre. I sold this wheat at $1.50 Der bogpel 1 like the country and my neighbors. ‘My taxes on each quarter section (160 acres) are about $32 a year. This cov- ers municipal tax, schoo! tax, hafl in- surance tax—everything. There is no war taz, so-called. I like the laws in force here. There is no compulsion to me in any way. I am just as independ- ent here as I was in Illinois, and I feel that my family and I are just as well protected by the laws of the province ‘as we were in our old home in Iilinols. ‘What I earn here is my own. I have seven children and they take their “places at school, in sports and at all Public gatherings the same as the Canadian born. (Signed) M. P. TYSDAL. February 9th, 1916. STATEMENT OF STEVE SCHWEITZ- BERGER I was.born in Wisconsin, but moved with my parents when .a boy to Stephen Co., Iowa. I was there farm- ing for 50, years. I sold my land then for over $200 an acre. I moved to Saskatchewan, and located near Brier- crest in the spring of 1912. I bought a half section of .and. I have good neighbors. I feel quite at home here the same as in Iowa. We have per- fect safety and no trouble in itving up to the laws in force. My taxes are about $65 a year, on the half section for everything. I have had splendid crops. Wheat in 1915 ylelded me over 50 bushels to the acre. That fs more than I ever had in Towa and yet the land there costs four times as much as it does here. The man who comes here now and buys land at $50 an acre or less gets a bargain. (Signed) S. SCHWEITZBERGER, February 9th, 1916.” Saskatchewan Farmer, February, 1916.—Advertisement.

In the year 1911-12, there was received from the same source $133,000, The record is that we received $45,000 more during the fourth year of this quadrennium than the first year. This is a larger per cent of increase over our previous income than that of any board save the board of Sunday schools. This large increase is not due solely to the propaganda of the commission of finance. It will be gtv- ing credit to the commission to say that $10,000 of it came from that source. To this writer's view of the matter it is not that the cause is less popular, but because of the exploitation of the progress of the race as a justification of what has been done for the black man—there is too prevalent an im- pression that he is able to support his schools. It should not be so, for the colored man’s per capita wealth 1s about seven dollars while that of his more fortunate white brother is thir- ty-three or more, ‘The colored man has had his chance but fifty years with burden- some handicaps. His wage earnings have been small always as compared with others. He pays more for every- thing and received less with which to pay. He has had more children to educate in the last fifty years than anybody else comparing his numerical strength with others of the American population, ‘The opportunity to edu- cate his children at public expense is of the most meager kind. Think of it, In Georgia there are 1,431,812 white people and 1,176,987 colored ‘people. ‘The amount of money expended on white schools in 1913-14 was $2,825, 588, and on the colored schools $492,- 906. The white and colored people nearly equal and yet upon the white children there was spent six times more of the public funds for educa- tion than upon the colored. ‘The writer is entering no complaint but is trying to impress a few impor- tant facts as follows. The colored man cannot yet be expected to any- thing like meet the demands upon him for the education of his people. Further that public authorities admin- ister the public fund to suit them- selves and colored: people are help- less. If therefore the masses are to be educated his white friends’ North and South must help him. ‘The colored man will do more year by year. In the Methodist church for this quadrennium we have received through conference channels and spe- cial gifts credited to conferences $641,- 180.59, Of this amount our colored people gave $148,000 which fs a little beyond one-fourth the entire amount given by the church. The colored man is one-tenth the numerical strength of the church and a far less percentage of the per capita wealth of the church, yet gives one-fourth of the amount spent upon his education through the Freedmen’s Aid society so far as the voluntary gifts of the con- ferences are concerned. Say, brother reader, haven't we ey- erything for which to be thankful and not much over which to be discour- aged? Are we not headed onward? If this writer does not mistake the plans now in the making the colored people will do more by double in the next quadrennium. Let us believe that the greater giving upon the part of our white people begins with this Lin- coin Sunday for the reason that the On August 4, 1914, a Negro ore called himself Chief Sam, sailed away from New York on the steamship Li- beria. With him were a considerable company of Texas Negroes, who ac- kmowledged him as leader and who be Meved his claim of descent from Afri-. can rulers. He gave assurance that he had an agreement with twenty kings, and that a rich tract of 164,000 acres had been set aside as a Utopia for the pilgrims from over thé sea. ‘This week three of the pilgrims returned to New York, sped on their way by British charity. Of the others many are dead of starvation. Some have disappeared in the interior of Africa. A few are working on Brit- ish plantations along the Gold coast.

He looked for- ward to meeting Mrs, Harry Jones, He had known her as a child, had driven her to school, the daughter of his “young mistress” from Virginia, He recalled the pleasant memories of the past as he told me “Miss Bertha looks as her mother used to.” Does this not tell of the spirit of the past? And that sentiment is strong at Tuskegee to- day. There are two memories of yester- day that will never die, the faithful- ness of the good, old colored friend, and the rhythm of the Negro melo- dies. With the hall filled at Tuskegee in- stitute with 2,000 voices, there rang out the wonderful sound of “Sweet Charity.” It filled the air and the ‘soul at the same time and closed @ wonderful meeting. If every man and woman of the South could see this factory at the institute at work, in the schoolroom, in the kitchen, in the shop, molding human bodies into intelligent service, teaching them its value, giving them the lesson of making better homes, re- garding higher principles and more respectful attention to those in au- thority, they would recognize it to be a necessity to good citizenship and useful to the community. The results will surely civilize the rural hut dwell- ers and bring greater prosperity to the country industry. “The world wants its work done, and civilization is simply a search for men who can do things. The whole atmosphere of the inclosure, including about 2,500 Negroes, pupils, teachers and their families, is filled with the inspiration of work, and there is no pretense, no presumption, but a spirit of gratitude for the wonderful co-operation of their white friends North and South, Bast and West. In Carnegie hall, New York, the white friends of Booker T. Washington, held memorial services on February 13, and it is an oppor- tune time for those of the South to pay a similar tribute to the memory of the greatest Negro the world ever knew, and arrangements are being made to hold these services in the auditorium at Tuskegee institute on the same date.—Mrs. J.

So many rumors have been circu lated regarding war taxation in Canada that the statement made by Sir Thomas White, Canadian Minister of Finance, of the Government's plans for raising war revenue should be giv en the widest circulation, Sir Thomas made it clear that the revenue will be raised by taxing the profits of incor- porated companies whenever those profits exceed seven per cent, and the profits of uninéorporated firms or part- nerships when the profits exceed ten per cent. On all such excess profits these companies or firms will have to contribute one-quarter to the Govern- ment. ‘Transportation companies, banks, mining, milling, and other com- panies will be subject to this taxation, but life insurance companies, and com- panies with less than fifty thousand dollars capitalization, and companies, firms, or individuals engaged in agri- culture or stock raising, are exempt, and pay no part of this taxation. The only other additional taxation pro- posed is an increase of fifty cents a barrel in the customs duty on apples, and one-half cent a gallon in customs duty on certain kinds of ols. It will be noticed that this taxation is being applied tn such a way that it does not affect farmers in the alight. est degree, except, perhaps, through a small increase in cost of apples and oll. The war revenue is to be paid out of the profits of the big firms and com: panies with capital of over fifty thou- sand dollars, and even these are al- lowed seven per cent in some cases, and ten per cent in’ others, of clear profits before they have to pay any part of this taxation. It will be seen that the whole policy is to place the war expenditure taxation on those who have been making big profits and are able to pay {t, and to encourage farm- tng and stockraising by exempting farmers and stock-raisers from the thx. ation.

FISHHOOK OF NEW DESIGN Seems to Have Many Advantages Over Those That Are in General Use by Anglers. Increased efficiency and serviceabil- ity are claimed for the now fishhook which has been recently patented.

BACKACHE, RHEUMATISM Dear Mr. Edison, For along time I suffered from backache, pain in left side, frequent urination (bothering me at all times during the day and night), and the uric acid in my blood caused me to suffer from rheumatism along with a constant tired, worn-out feeling. I heard of the new discovery of Dr. Pierce, of the Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y., called "Anurif." After giving "Anuric" a good trial I believe it to be the best kidney remedy on the market today. I have tried other kidney medicines but these "Anuric Tablets" of Dr. Pierce's are the only ones that will cure kidney and bladder troubles. (Signed) HENRY A. LOVE. NOTE:—Experiments at Dr. Pierce's Hospital for several years proved that "Anuric" is 37 times more active than lithia. Send Dr. Pierce 10c for trial package.

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 the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment; the channels often get irritated, obliging you to get up two or three times during the night. To neutralize these irritating acids and flush off the body's urinous waste get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine and bladder disorders disappear. This famous salts is made from 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.

Sufferers from kidney disease are prone to imagine they have dyspepsia, heart disease, nervous prostration and a hundred and one other ills. Very often the kidneys are so weak and diseased that they are unable to remove the waste matter from the body. The accumulation of this matter in the system, slowly but surely paves the way for Bright's Disease. To afford relief you should begin at once the use of Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Remedy. Many physicians consider it to be a very excellent preparation in the treatment of kidney diseases. Its beneficial action assists in strengthening the kidneys and liver so they may do their work as nature intended. 40 years of success should be sufficient evidence of its merit.
