IF BACK HURTS BEGIN OH SUITS Flush your kidneys occaFionally if you eat meat regularly. No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make a mistake by flushing 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 the blood, then you get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, constipation, dizziness, sleeplessness, bladder dis orders come from sluggish kidneys. The moment you feel 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 take a tablespoonful in a glass of water be fore 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 lithia and has been used for generations to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to activity, also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive and can not Injure; makes a delightful effer vescent lithla-water drink which all regular meat eaters should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and the blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney complications.

The rigorous application of this rule has transferred the accumulation of freight tha,t other ! wise would be piling up here to the warehouses at manufacturing and pro ducing centers in the West and South, j For the purpose of relieving ter i minal points the railroads in this terrl , tory aro imposing new embargoes. Be ginning to-day the Lackawanna will , refuse freight for points west of Buf falo in order to clear its yards there and allow eastern shipments to come through. The Pennsylvania has ap | plied a temporary embargo on ship ments for delivery by truck in this city jon all except perishable freight, food stuffs, government supplies and news ; print paper. The New Haven has in | effect embargo against shipments in less than carload lots for delivery in ! New Haven or for transfer at New (Haven, where the congestion on that 'line is the most severe. At the offices | of the New York Central it was said that measures would be announced soon along similar lines. The situation, it is expected, will be 'considered by the executive commit tee of Uie American Railway Associa tion which meets here to-morrow. Meanwhile the associaUons' car service commission of which Fairfax Harrison, president of the Southern railway, is chairman, is co-operating with the Interstate Commerce Com mission, it was stated here to-day, is endeavoring to work out a plan to re lieve the situaUon. If the embargoes are continued, one result, it is predicted, will be the dumping of thousands of tons of food stuffs into domestic markets in order to prevent the food from perishing. Railroads are said to be suffering heavily financially and it is pointed out that only by unloading supplies at the cities where loaded cars stand idle, instead of holding for exporta tion can the situaUon be relieved so that some of the embargoes may be lifted.

The price of ice now is 35 cents per hundred weight tf sold a single hun dred at a Ume. Larger amounts are sold on a graduated scale to 20 cents, the lowest price. The increased cost of coal used in the manufacture of artificial Ice will doubtless make the price higher than ever, it is claimed by the company o£- I flcials.

Berne, Feb. 14, via Paris—To the ac- ' companlment of echoing cheers that fill- Ed Berne's railroad station. Ambassador Gerard, his staff and about fifty other Americans, departed to-night for Paris byway of Pontarlier. The departure was made the occasion of a demonstra tion such as Berne has not seen In a long time. The women members of the party were laden with beautiful cut flowers, presented by Berne friends, and which were doubly appreciated because they had been so rare in Germany. Mr. and Mrs. Gerard arrived at the station about ten minutes before the tlftie scheduled for the departure of their train and were greted by United States Minister Stovall, Secretary Camp bell and their wives,. Among the big crowd of prominent persons who filled the platform were members of the entente legations in Berne, English and French officers interned in Switzerland and as many Berne citizens as could And standing room. The ambassador and his staff occu pied a first clas car on the train and his unofficial traveling companions were accommodated In another first class car and one second class coach. The ar rangements weil made by the Swiss government whicn did everything in Us power to co-operate with the American legation In providing for the comfort of the party, tt was arranged that the travelers should transfer to sleepers at Pontarler for the remainder of the trip to Paris. Ambassador Gerard spent an unevent ful day which was chiefly devoted to preparations for his journey. Htj warn ed one of the Americans who came to bid him farewell to be careful about spies who might try to attach them selves to American groups following him out of Germany. Mr. Gerard spe cified a well-known member of the eßr- |lin American colony who, when the American emigration from Berlin be gan, announced that he hoped to go to Switzerland Immediately. GERARD WELL TREATED Berlin, Feb. 15, via Wireless—"On leaving German soil, ex-Ambassador Gerard asked the German correspond ents who had accompanied him to transmit his thanks to the German government." says the Overseas News Agency. "He declared that the ar rangements made by the government for the American embassy and colony surpassed everything he might have hoped for and that "German hospitality and chlvalrousness brilliantly stood the test during these hard days.'
