When your kidneys feel like lumps of lead ; your back hurts or the urine Is cloudy, full of sediment or you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night; if you suffer with sick headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid stomach, or you haCe rheumatism when the weather is bad, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of 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 iithia. and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys; to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder disorders.

BONUS PLAN IS MADE PUBLIC Members of House Subcommittee Reach Tentative Agreement on Measure. 3,000.000 MEN ARE AFFECTED Members of Body Decide That Yanks Are Entitled to $1 a Day for Each Day Served in Defense of . Democracy. Washington, April 15.—Tentative agreement has been reached on details of the plan to be recommended by the house ways and means subcommittee considering the cash bonus feature of. the proposed soldier aid legislation. Under the terms of this plan bonuses i of $1 a day for each day served will be given to about 3.000,000 ex-service men. A general sales tax of one-half of 1 per cent will be levied upon all business concerns doing an animal business of $2,500,000 to raise the necessary revenue. It is estimated that (the cost will be approximately sl,- ' 000,000,000. In reducing the estimates of the | probable number of beneficiaries and the cost, the subcommittee excluded those who served GO days or less dur- ( ing the world war and officers and I yeomanites who enjoyed financial j advantages which did not extend to the fighting men. Os the 4,800.000 men in the army and navy during the war ; this limitation will affect about 1,- < 800,000 men. The subcommittee has been advised by the war department that fully ‘ 850,000 men served less than GO days. ■ The department also estimated that those who, while under colors, worked tn shipyards, the airplane lumber serx ice and other industries at civilian wages will aggregate about 400.000. In addition, approximately 250,000 soldiers and sailors had their military pay augmented by their former civilian i employers, making a total of 1,500,000 in this class to be excluded. The remaining 300,000 of the 1,800,000 to be excluded are expected to > come under a provision of the bill re- J quirlng all who apply for the bonus to set out in an affidavit the conditions entitling them to the cash | award. The subcommittee has information that many former soldiers an* ■ opposed to a bonus and others do not need it and, therefore, will not apply for it. — LOWDEN WINS IN ILLINOIS Governor Is State’s Choice for G.

STRIKE A STEP TO REVOLUTION Cabinet Told of Plan to Overthrow the U. S. Government. MASS WALKOUT END IN VIEW Attorney General Palmer Flatly Charges That the Communists and I. W. W. Are Behind the Railroad Strike. Washington, April IG.—The “outlaw’ railroad strike is a direct, wellplanned attempt to overthrow the I nited States government by means of revolution. This was the official view taken of it at the < abinet meeting. Vast quantities of inflammatory literature, which have conn* into the possession of the department of justice, were placed before President Wilson and his cabinet advisers by one of the lat-ter-Attorney General Palmer. At till* conclusion of Ml. Fattier’s reeir:it. tlie president and other members of the cabinet thought the best method to counteract the “outlaw” strikers and the revolutionists, anarchists and T. W. W.’s in their ranks was to bring the public of the country and the loyal railroad workers to a realization of the peril now facing them. It # was therefore ,deckled to make public the information held by the department of justice. Attorney General .Palmer made this statement: “I feel that it is highly important that the people and the strikers know what is behind the strike, and what is the purpose of those in control. It is the latest working out of the program of the communist parry to overthrow gox ernmciits. establish dictatorships of leaders of the proletariat and duplicate conditions that exist in Russia.’’ The attorney general then took up a nuts* of documents and read through them, one by one, interspersing his reading with comments. The first document he made .public was a manifesto and program of the communist party of America Saturday. Max 1. the attorney general said, has been set as the date for a general uprising of the men led by the communists. The department, through its agents he said, has been । informed of the activities of the contmunists in other industries to bring about just such a situation as exists in the railway strike. Dates have been set for the strikes In these industries. he said, and are known to the department. After tlie steel strike, he said, plans were laid for the dost ruction of the brotherhoods. The department was aware of this and set about making plans for meeting rhe emergency. “Under I W. W. leadership.” the attorney general stated, “acting as part of the ‘ onnnunisi Labor Party of America, the railway workmen have been led into the strike and they will be exploited by the leaders into deeper waters t\an they antic ipated when they laid down thc*ir tools. •’The* next <tep of the government will awair tlie reception which the truth gets from the public and from the* railway workers. Undoubtedly many of them have been h*d into the strike* through ignorance* of the motives of the* movement. Should the result be* otherwise than Expected other steps will be taken." To show the motive of tin* communists. the attorney g neral read ex cerpts from tin* program of the communist parly adopted at tlie convention in Chicago. In it the American Federation of Labor was stigmatized as “reactionary and a bulwark of capitalism." The program set forth that ‘•industrial unionism is not simply a means for the every-day struggle against capitalism ; its ultimate purpose is revolutionary. implying the necessity of ending capitalist parliamentary state. Industrial unionism is a factor in the final mass action for the conquest of power.” The attorney general made public photostatic* copies of the "Bulletin of the provisional bureau in Amsterdam of the Communist International,” which contained an “appc*al to tlie workers of Europe and America" to follow the "glorious example of the Russian soviet republic.” PERSHING'S HAT IN THE RING General Tells Nebraskans at Washington He Wouldn’t Dodge Presidency if Offered.

JOHNSON A BITTER ENEMY Ex-President Made No Concealment of His Intense Dislike of Successor in the White House. That winter Andrew Johnson was elected to the senate from Tennessee, and he came back to Washington in the latter part of February, 1875. One Sunday morning 1 was assigned to interview him. It was the last interview that any newspaper man had with the ex-president. He stood in the parlor of his suite, with a number of flags of the country draped behind him as a background. He was dressed in the typical frock eoat of the statesmen, with a white tie. He had quarreled with General Grant, who was at that time president, and there was great interest to learn his attitude. 1 shall never forget the manner in which he struck a pose in the traditional attitude of Henry Clay and said, with his deep, stentorian voice: “I com , sir. with th Constitution of my country in one hand and the olive branch of peace in the other, and if that damned liar in the White House plays decent, we will get on.” — Melville E. Stone in Collier’s Weekly. Ferocious Artists. “What are those Paris Apaches we hear so much about?” “Denizens of the underworld, my dear.” “Are they as desperate as we have been led to believe?” “I hardly think they are as wildly wicked as they are made to appear in the movies. If they were they’d drink blood instead of brandy.”—Birmingham Age-Herald. Muffled voices must be uncomfortable in warm weather. It’s a pity a man can’t put a plaster on his conscience when it hurts him.

MONKS MADE FIRST PANCAKES Delicious Comestibles Once Formed Supper of Holy Men on Eve of Ash Wednesday. Perhaps you admit ignorance as to knowing how pancakes first came to be produced? Well, the story is very interesting and worth telling, London Answers says. Monks were the originators of pan- ; cakes, and we are told that on Shrove i Tuesday their supper consisted of thin cakes, made in a pan with flour, milk, eggs, fat, lard,.etc. —hence pancakes. The idea was to use up all the foodstuffs remaining, which were prohibited on the following day—Ash Wednesday, rhe commencement of | Lent. In the olden days the poor peo- ; pie would gather round various monastery gates, it being the custom for ' the monks to distribute what pancakes 1 they had left after supper among the j hungry and slum dwellers. Shrovetide, and Shrove Tuesday by i the. way, were, in the first place, called shrive days. They were so called from ’ the fact that in the Roman Catholic i church confessions are then made and j received preparatory to the fast of Lent. Shrive, which meant confession, later came to be called Shrove —thus we now get Shrove Sunday and Shrove Tuesday. Well Named. , Wheedle —1 say. Jack, what Is ths name of the club you've joined?
