Flush the Kidneys at Once
When Back Hurts Or

No man or woman who oats meat
regularly can make a mistake, by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally, says a
well-known authority Meat forms
uric acid which clogs the kidney pores
so they sluggishly filter or strain only
part of the waste and poisons from ht'e
blood, then you get sick. Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, constipation, dimness,
sleeplessness, bladder disorders come
from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feci a dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts, or If
the urine Is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, Irregular of passage, or at
tended by a sensation of scalding, get
about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any reliable pharmacy and tae a
tablespoonful In a glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and your kid
neys will then act fine. This famous
salts Is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lllbia
and has been used for generations to
flush flogged kidneys and stimulate
them to activity, also to neutralize the

Irritation, thus ending bladder disor

I TOWARD GERMANY
(Continued From First Page.
to the south ::f the troops had
been stationed to await orders for the
advance and at 5:30 o'clock yesterday
morning the patrols marched out, not In
line of battle, but in columns along the
highroads, which are only slightly im
paired. The first steps' of the Americans into
regions so lately controlled by Ger
many were not spectacular. The men
were keyed up and keen for the new
adventure, hut like they were on the
day of the signing of the armistice,
there were comparatively no demon
strative manifestations of their enthu
siasm. Many of the men had been newly
uniformed, and all of them Were "pol
ished" as though for inspection. The
men appeared eager for the word to go
for ward.
The relatively small units that are
moving forward as advance guards,
were sent to the line before daylight.
The night had been cold and the mud
that yet marks the roads, notwith
standing there have been two or three
days without rain, was slightly frozen.
The men shlveree) as they rested.
When the command finally was given
lo advance, the elements who wore to
push forward, in some cases miles
apart on the long line between the ex
treme left and right, moved off into the
mists that uppeur always to shroud
this part of the country, and disap
peared. For tho first time since the Ameri
cans had been ordered to advance into
enemy held territory, there was as
surances that they would encounter no
hostility. The Intelligence department,
which has never ceased t function,
had accurately reported that, the Ger
mans were carrying out their agree
ment of evacuation and (here wa evi
dence the heller by both officers and
men that there was no trap awaiting
them.
No chances were taken. however.
The engineers erc the second unit to
press forward, and thev carefully he-
gan thetr work of looking out for mines
and tainted water. Every obstacle was
examined before it was moved In order
to rind out if it masked explosives. For
some time the Hermans have shown a
spirit of co-operation in informing the
Americans where mines were located
and In themselves destroying them.
it was some tunc alter the engineers
moved forward before the heavier col
umns took the roads. The entire armv
finally was moving, and moving along
Hie lines of peace days. But It was In
such order that il might quickly be
transformed Into battle array. Every
brigade was covered by a regiment of
77's, the heavier artillery following
close behind. The flanks of the ad
vancing columns were well protected.
It lias been impressed on officers and
men alike that this Is an operation un
der dn armistice: that war still exists
and that the possibility remains that
at. any time It miiv he necessary for
them to play their part with thu same
grininess of the past .war.
Fraternization, not. (inly with the Ger
man soldiers who may be found either
as stragglers or voluntary prisoners
but with tho civilian population, has
been sternly forbidden. Looting and
even souvenir hunting also have been
forbidden. It has been plainly Im
pressed upon the men that properly Is
inviolate, and that those persons with
whom they come in contact must he re
garded as enemies.

was rendered impotent, and that this
would have deprived the Republicans of
much of their ammunition In the con
gressional campaign. -
Answer Raps.
The answer to this, given by those
who agree, absolutely with the position
adopted by the president and the secre
tary of state, is that the determination
of the I'nited States was sufficiently
explained in the note to Germany of
(id. it, and that any effort made to
create an opposite Impression was sim
ply a systematic campaign to prove
that Air. Wilson was untrue to his
word. 1 he fact that the president in
sisted in his first note to Germany
that all Invaded territory must be
evacuated before there could be a peace
conierence, and the tact tnat Mr. Wil
son Insisted in his second communica
tion on terms amounting to surrender,
is pointed to as adequate explanation
at the time to all who were disposed
to follow the president In foreign pol
icy, regardless of internal politics. In
this connection there will some day be
published the communications of an in
formal character, passing from this
government to its allies, explaining in
detail to them the principle Involved In
this -paragraph of America's note to
Germany of Oct. 14.
"It must be clearly understood that
the process of evacuation as the condi
tions of an armistice are matters which
must be left to the judgment and ad
vice of the military advisers of the
government of the United states and
the allied governments, and the presi
dent feels It his duty to sav that no
arrangement can be accepted by Jhe
Sovcrnment of the United States which
oes not provide absolutely satisfactory
safeguards and guarantees of the
maintenance of the present military
supremacy of the armies of the I'nited
States and of the allies in the field. He
feels confident that he can safely as
sume that this will also be the judg
ment and decision of the allied gov
ernments," Furthermore, in the second note ol
Oct. 23, the United States said:
"The president deems it bis duty to
say again, however, that the only armi
stice he would feel justified In .submit
ting for consideration (to the allies)
would he one which should leave the
I'nited States and the powers associate,
ed with her in a position to enforce any
arrangements that may be entered into
and to make a reign olj hostilities on
the part of Germany Impossible "
Mr. Wilson wasn't proposing an armi
stice, but absolute capitulation, and
much of the publication of the exact
terms of the armistice, officials feel
that, regardless of tho domestic Issues
lhat compelled the downfall of the
Democrats, history will prove that
President Wilson was unjustly accused
by his critics of being willing to let
German autocracy escape and the Mer
man military power remain unbroken.
ltesentment Is more frequently ex
pressed by administration olffcials
against Messrs. Taft, Lodge and Roose
velt, who are held to have alarmed the
country needlessly concerning the true
purpose of our government. The forma
tion of "unconditional surrender" clubs
at a time when the government was
Insisting on an armistice that lias since
been proclaimed as more humiliating
to (Jermany or any defeated nation than
anything in history was looked upon by
the administration as largely instru
mental in creating a dlstn- ,i
president's policy not justified by a
can ful reading of the note of Oct. 14,
On the other hand, the question of
Whether the government plavcd Its
cards well, whether It gave sufficient
publicity to what it was doing in this
council of (he allies, or whether it was
in a defenseless position, because its
critics could talk while the government
was bound In confidence wllh the al
lied governments (o withhold the pro
visions of the armistice until certain
changes had occurred In Ger
many. All this will he revealed some dav
when all the facts are available and
the last shred of censorship and confi
dential restriction has been removed
from the Intercourse of the belliger
ents. (Copyright, mis, bv the New York leve
