"Give Us Cars and We
Will Produce the Coal,"
Says President Hayes
Indianapolis, Jan. 17.—Delegates
attending the coal miners' conven
tion here read with great interest
to-day the announcement from
Washington shutting down indus
tries for five days because of the!
coal shortage. Leaders said the men;
art fully alive to the situation and j
reiterated there/ was nothing the!
miners could do so long as the raii-i
roads are unable to handle the out-j
put.
The attention of International
President Frank J. Hayes was drawn i
ic dispatches from the east suggest-'
irig an increase in production, Hej
said tiie men had done all possible
to increase the output under present
railroad conditions.
"Give up the cars and we will give
you the coal," Mr. Hayes said. "The!
present number of mine workers in '
the country working eight hours'
every day can increase the produc
tion three hundred million tons .11
year, if given the facilities. We have
complaints from miners who say 1
they are not working full time." )
When the convention met to-day it;
proceeded with consideration of reso-1
lutions reported by the resolutions
committee. The convention reatflrm-
eel its s;and against the employment
ot' private guards by corporations
and the importation of strike
breakers.

AVOID ALL II
IF KIDNEYS AND
, BLADDER BOTHER
Uric Acid in meat excites
Kidneys and irritates
the Bladder.
Take Salts at first sign of
Bladder weakness or
, Kidney-Backache.
Kidney and Bladder weakness re
sult from uric acid, says a noted au
thority. Tho kidneys tilter this acid
trom the blood and pass it on to the
bladder, where it often remains to
irritate and inflame, causing a ourn
ing, si-aiding sensation, or setting up
an irritation at the neck of the blad
der, obliging you to seek relief two
or three times during the uight. TUe
sufferer is in consume ureati, me wa
ter passes sometimes with a scalding i
.-ensation and is very profuse; again |
there is difliculty in avoiding it.
Liladder weakness, most folks call
it. because they can't control urina
tion While it is extremely annoy
ing and sometimes very painful, 'liis
is really one of the most simple nii
ments to overcome. Get about foui |
ounces of Jad Sails from your phar-1
niactst and take a lablespoonful in a 1
glass of water before breakfast, co <-!
linue this for two or three davs. i
This will neutralize the acids in the 1
urine so it no longer is a source of'
irritation to the bladder and urinary l
organs which then act normally!
again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmles.-vi
and is made from the acid of grapes'
nd lemon juice, combined with,
it Ilia, and Is used by thousands of
' .oiks who arc subject to urinary dis-|
orders caused by uric acid irritation i
.lad Baits is splendid for kidneys audi
causes no bad eflects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, efferves
cent llthia-water drink which quick-j
ly relieves bladder trouble.—Adv.

and very few men are employed at
