QUIT MEAT IF YOUR KIDNEYS ACT BADLY

Take Tablespoonful of Salts If Back Hurts or Bladder Bothers. We are a nation of meat eaters and our blood is filled with uric add, says a well known authority, who warns us to be constantly on guard against kidney trouble. The kidneys do their utmost to free the blood of this irritating acid, but become weak from the overwork. They get sluggish. The eilminative tissues clog and thus the waste is retained in the blood to poison the entire system.

When your kidneys ache and feel like lumps of lead, and you have stinging pains in the back or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or the bladder is irritable, obliging you to seek relief during the night, when you have severe headaches, (nervous and dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or rheumatism in bad weather, get from your 'pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts, take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast each morning and in a few days your kidney® will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations -to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neutralize the acids in urine so it is no longer a source of irritation, thus ending urinary and bladder disorders.

Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot injure. Makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink, and nobod yean make a mistake by taking a little occasionally to keep the kidneys clean and active.

The value of having a centrally located park was again proved yesterday when the May fete was held at Milroy park. Rensselaer is greatly favored by this beautiful green sward and it might well be used far a number of occasions that draw large crowds together.

PRESIDENTS PLEA IS "HUMANITY FIRST”

In Speech to Naturalized Americans In Philadelphia He Referred to Lusitania By Reference.

President Wilson spoke to 4,000 naturalized Americans in Philadelphia Monday night. In his spe4% he intimated what course would be taken in the situation resulting from the sinking of the Lusitania. He spoke by implication but his hearers interpreted his remarks as meaning that while the United States will remain at peace it would seek to convince Germany of the injustice to mankind of the tragedy of last Friday. America, said the president, must have the consciousness that on all sides it touches elbows and touches hearts with all the nations of mankind. The example of America must be a special example and must not be merely an example of peace, because peace is healing elevating of the world and strife is not. There is such a thing as a man being too proud to fight. There is such a thing as (being so right that it does not need to convince others by force that it is right. These remark* precipitated a tumult of applause and patriotic enthusiasm attended by a waving of thousands of American flags. The sentiment in the president’s speech was epitomized later by one of his closest advisers as “humanity first.” While it has not been decided what steps would be taken in the present crisis, no matter what course is adopted it will have as its objective the good of humanity. The president was constantly interrupted by the storm of applause that broke forth from time to time. He spoke so clearly and so quiet was the audience that he could be distinctly heard in all parts of the great hall.

“SEEING” AMERICA FIRST.

The editorial in Monday’s Republican elicited considerable discussion and the writer has been commended by a number who realized that in some respects the expressed convictions were at variance with those promulgated in the large newspapers of the country. A few have said they did not agree with all the ideas expressed, but generally the article has passed among thinking men as well balanced and calculated to help subdue the wild clamor made in some parts of the country for radical action. We believe that in the maan, persons who read The Republicans editorial, agree— . That Americans were sufficiently warned against taking passage on the Lusitania, That if they knew the vessel carried contraband of war they made a grave mistake in going on the vessel, That if they were deceived about the character of the cargo England and the Cunard company are responsible for the deception, That under any circumstances England* should have furnished protection for the Lusitania, using submarines or battleships or hydro-aero-planes to protect it after the war zone was reached, •

And that war is something that can not foe fooled with and that warnings of the nations, involved must be heeded. The Republican 'has found mighty few persons who can see any good excuse the unfortunate passengers had to take the Lusitania when they were so clearly warned. The entire discussion, however, leads us to the suggestion that all of us are Americans, citizens of the same country, and confident m our certainty to do the right thing, the the thing we as citizens will approve. We believe that they will hold the United States from taking any radical step and like loyal Americans, hope for peace for this country and pray the hastening of the day when peace may be restored in Europe. 'We believe that all are first Americans and that they would stand shoulder to shoulder against any common enemy, but we believe, too, that their one desire now is that this nation remain out of the European conflict and that we “see” Amenca and America’s duty first and hold fast to the principles of humanity that will keep us aloof from the horrible consequences of entering the European conflict.

MAY DAY FETE LARGELY ATTENDED

Unique Drills of Pupils Entertained Patrons at Largest School Event Ever Held Here.

Several hundred people witnessed the first annual May Day Fete given by the grade children of the public schools. The fete was given under the supervision of the school teachers and was well carried-out in every respect, and the success of the first May day program given insures the publis that hereafter this pleasing entertainment jyiirbeoome a permanent affair of the schools. The success of the undertaking exceeded expectations of the most ardent optimists. Monday was the most beautiful and balmy spring day we have had this year and people began to arrive at Milroy Park early in order to secure the most advantageous points of view. The program started at 2:00 o'clock and lasted until after 4. All the participants in the program were dressed in white and this, with the added beauty of the little park, presented a very pretty spectacle. The first events on the program were carried out by the first grade pupils, who went through their drills in clever fashion and ended their port of the program with the Maypole dance. Another event that proved very pleasing was the crowning of the Queen of the May. Lucille Mackey was made Queen of the day. A tug of war was participated in by 12 boys of the 7th grade. Swedish and Japanese dances were indulged in by members of the 3rd, 4th and sth grades. The next on the program was a medicine (ball contest between the boys of the grammar grades, followed by a Maypole dance by the 6th, 7th and Bth grades. The Boy Scouts then made their appearance in the program under the direction of Rev. Titus. Drills were given hy the scouts followed by a sham battle, which amused the spectators greatly. The program closed with the entire audience singing America.

The only drawback to the occasion was /the lack of room, many of the spectators being unable to see 'but a small part of the program. The officials had not expected such a large crowd and consequently were unable to care for them. This obstacle will be overcome in the future, however, and the May Day entertainment hereafter will be given on a larger scale and seats will be provided. The businessmen of the city have promised to help in making this day an annual event and will aid in providing for the spectators.

GO NO FARTHER The Evidence it At Your Door.

Rensselaer proof is what you want and the statement of this highly respected resident will banish all doubt. Charles Malchow, Harvey St., Rensselaer, says: “Kidney complaint and backache kept me in misery for years. The pain from my back extended through my shoulders and even into my neck. The kidney secretions annoyed me by their irregularity in passage and proved that my kidneys were at fault. I got Doan’s Kidney Pills at Fendig’s Drug Store and after aking a few doses, I knew that ! had at last found the medicine I needed. My kidneys were strengthened and the pains in my back were removed. I have taken Doan’s Kidney Pills since then, when having similar attacks and I have never failed to get relief.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Malchow had. Foster-Miltourn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y.
