INTEREST SUBSIDES
Men of All Nationalties and Religious Creeds Propound Views Nightly on Street Corners.
BY KNICKERBOCKER. NEW YORK. July 30.-nA strange outgrowth of the great world war raging three thousand odd miles from Manhattan's shores is the nightly forum-like appearance of Broadway. Especially on Sunday nights does the Great White Way present the appearance of . an elongated, serpentine debating society. Of course Broadway always has bees and always will be the Bcene of street meetings, political rallies in campaign time, the Salvation Army gatherings, and the soap-box efforts of the suffragists, but now-a-days on Sunday nights every available corner Is the gathering place of a knot of people listening - to some speaker or other and poining in the discussion. They talk about everything under the sun, from religion and politics down to advertising methods and the single tax. Grows Out of War. How Is this an outgrowth of the war? When the great conflagration started, the newspapers along Broads way erected large bulletin boards. These attracted great crowds, as all New York was interested in the combat. Daily and nightly, without ceasing, the bulletin boards displayed the latest developments of the titanic struggle. Crowds that blocked the sidewalk could be seen in front of the boards all night long. As men got the habit of spending their evenings around the bulletin boards, they looked around and saw other men nightly in the crowd. Naturally these regular visitors drifted together, became acquainted and just naturally they discussed the war. Among these were Englishmen, Germans, Frenchmen, Italians, Russians, Americans and men of nearly all other races and nationalities. They differed about the war, so debates a ro.se. It was remarkable though, that the debates with very few exceptions always were amicable. There were no altercations, no fights and no riots, as might have been expected in such a cosmopolitan atmosphere. . '' Interest Dies Down. '" But gradually interest in the war became less acute. It almost died but, as .New York's interest' 3n any thing dies out after a time. The men no longer waited breathlessly for each new bulletin, and they had talked the war threadbare. But they had congenial acquaintances and had formed the habit of debating something. So, rather than give up their nightly meetings they turned to other tropics. The transition was gradual, but soon the war was almost entirely lost Bight of and the men were discussing every form of religion, politics, metaphysics, the fourth dimension and whatnot. Women joined the crowds, some to talk religion and some the suffrage. The space in front of every newspaper became a people's forum and animated debate was the order of the day. Curious persons who came down town just to see the groups were surprised at the deep knowledge displayed by some of the me, notably the foreign born. They had the history of Europe at their finger tips and
SALTS IF BACKACHY AND KIDNEYS HURT
Drink lots of water and stop eating meat for a while if your Bladder troubles you. .
When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it generally means you have been eating too much meat, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggist and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels: removing all the body's urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours tongue is coated, and when the weather 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 d urine the night. Either consult a good, reliable physician at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass uf water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with llthla. and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts Is a life saver for regular meat eaters. It lb inexpensive, cannot injure, and makes a delightful, effervescent lithia-water drink. (Advertisement.)
tongue's end, from the middle ages down to now. They knew accurately the army organlzotions of the -countries at war. their strength and financial resources, their banking system and other statistics. The curiosityseekers in many cases were drawn Involuntarily . into the discussion and became regular devotees. . Crowd Blocks Traffic -From this grew the street corner meetings. First, the crowds became so big that they blocked traffic and the police made them move on. .' This drove some to the side streets. Next the building of a new subway caused parts of Broadway to be unavailable for crowds,: and then winter came on and the debaters moved to the side streets or protection from the chilly blasts. When Interest in the war finally flagged to low ebb, there was no use in haunting the bulletin boards, and the street corners served the purpose. :- Gradually then each group of tried and true debaters picked its corner and gathered there nightly. Public speakers on socialism and other topics were quick to take advantage of the ripe field and soon each corner was dominated by a soap box. It is estimated that there are J9.000 species of fish In the world.
