AVOID ALL MEAT 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 trom uric acid, says a noted au thority. The kidneys filter this acid Horn the blood and pass it on to the bladder, where it often remains to irritate and inflame, causing a ourn ing, scalding sensation, or setting up an irritation at tlie neck of the blad der, obliging you to seek reliet two or three times during the night. The carteler is in constant Uteud, tne wa ter passes sometimes with a scalding sensation and is very profuse; again there is difficulty in avoiding it. Bladder weakness, most folks call it. because they can't control urina tion While it is extremely annoy ing and sometimes very painful, this is really one of the most simple ail ments to overcome. Get about four ounces of Jad Salts from your phar macist and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast, co :- nnue this for two or ihree days. This will neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation to the bladder and urinary organs which then act normally again. Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon Juice, combined with lithia, and is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary dis orders caused by uric acid irritation Jad Salts is splendid for kidneys avid causes no bad effects whatever.

Fox yesterday filed eleven suits against property owners on the east side of Front street, for nene fits which it is claimed they will de rive from the taking over of the houses on the west side. These cases will be heard at a special session of court to be held March 11. when tho jury from the common pleas court of February 25 will jro'oably be retained to hear tho suits. In addition to his step, counsel for several of the property owners filed motions for judgment on ;he \or di<?ts which have been recorded. This, according to City Solicitor Fox, will mean an early argument of the reserved points of law, the most im portant of which is the Act of 1871, which attorneys for the property owners claim is unconstitutional. The argument will be listed soon, anj after it is ru!*cl on by the local court may be appealed to the state supreme court with the result that all litigation may be closed hv early fall. The eleven property owners in volved in the suits by the city tor benefits are Katie G. Raymond, John A. McAlister, John T. Ensminger, Catharine Chandler, George G. Schlegel, Mary A. Melville. B. Rockafeller, Elmira A. Attick, Mary E. McKelvey, Charles Fisher, Benjamin F. Miller. The three verdicts for which judg ment is asked by counsel are in suits brought by E. G. Slabaeh, John Vingst and Lewis Fint'rock. Jr. The Yingst case was scheduled to be heard yesterday and a Jury was called. Four of the other five cases which were listed were settled by agreement when it was learned that a similar verdict would be akon in the only remaining suit. As a result Mr. Tingst was awarded J7353.40 for his property as it stood prior to ISil and $3200 for improvements since that date. RAIN SCHEDULED; MAY BREAK ICE I. Continued from First Pa**-.] the night, the ice here will not break up. Mr. Demain said, and the ice in ! the West Branch will probably gorgf> | before it reaches Renovo. If the ; rainfall all over the Susquehanna ; watershed is heavy, amounting to I one and a half or two inches, the ice in the branches and main stream will | break up, and it will be over. Mr. j Demain said, "in forty-eight hours." ! The approaching rain. Mr. Demain ' said, may be heavy or. on the other hand, very light." Only l.ocnl Trouble Mr. Demain does not apprehend any s'.-rious trouble. Where the ice gorges, he said, there may be local | trouble by the dammed waters. If ! the ice goes out. he thinks that there will be no widespread inundation, but only local overflows of lowlands. A four-foot rise of the water is expected here to-morrow, following to-night's rain. If the rain is heavy, the rise might attain seven feet. Temperatures will be high, and melt ing snows will continue to add to I the volume of the water. In places the water has gone over the ice. but ! there has been no sign of a general 1 breakup as yet. Ice on some of the small creeks in | the vicinity has opened up and is ' slowly moving toward the river. The ■ ; Juniata river is showing signs of ! ! opening up and the river has risen : four inches. It is going over the ice j I in places. Use McNeil's Cold Tablets.

CONFIDENT ALLIES CAN HOLD WESTERN FRONT J Russia's Withdrawal Is Not Viewed With Alarm at Washington By Associated Pres.- i Washington. Feb. 12. —How Rus sia's complete withdrawal from the war will affect the Allies and the | I'nited States in a military way can- I not be accurately estimated at this j time, officials here believe, despite i the fact that on paper the Russian | collapse would seem to give the Ger- I mans a great superiority on the , western front. Military men. confident that the Allied line on the western front will . hold against any German force that can be thrown against it. profess not ■ to regard the Russian separate peace as the menace it would appear. The fact that 1,500,000 German prisoners will be freed to return to j Germany is regarded with no alarm. ! Military men say they could not quickly be re-organized into efficient j military units. The general opinion I here is that Germany will.be more j interested in keeping the prisoners \ in Russia rather than risk having j them carry Bolshevik doctrine back to Germany. The 147 Austro-German and Bul garian divisions on the Russian front, which will entirely be released by a separate peace, are regarded as already having been stripped of their I effectives, who have been transferred Ito the western front. Military • ex perts say, in addition, that Germany would be obliged to keep some of these 147 divisions in the vast con | uuered territory for garrison pur poses. The one outstanding fact is that the military experts are sure the reinforcements the Germans -can draw from the Russian front cannot overwhelm the western line, j Russia at this lime owes tne ; I'nited States $157.7'.'9.000 advanced for supplies, which already have gone to Russia. For that sum the Gov ernment holds Russian bonds. Whether this vast sum will be a to tal loss to the United States de pends on whether the ultimate gov | ernment in Russia decides to repudi ate the debt. A credit of $325,000,- | 000 was established at the Treasury for Russia, but only $187,799,000 was used when payments were stopped. WANT NEW BIDS FOR ASH COLLECTION [Continued from First l'agv.] Then Commissioner Gross took the 1 floor and in a short talk protested against paying the reduction com pany for any work during January. I Commissioner Hassier stated the ! voucher lor $2,625 had been held up and would not be paid. Other mem ! hers of Council joined in the dis -1 cussion and finally a motion was made to reject the bid which has I been under consideration for two | weeks. Commissioner Hassier was direci | ed to ask for new proposals. Mayor Keister suggesting the change in the specifications. It is probable bids will be opened February 23. Bids niaye be submitted for district col lections or for the entire city. Commissioner Gross when he pro -1 tested against paying the reduction company, scored the firm for failure to make any regular collections for several months before the contract ended. The discussion, which follow ed, ended when Commissioner Hass ier was authorized by resolution to • notify the company to make a clean ■ up of all ashes as soon as weather conditions permit. The bonding j company hlsq will be notified it will jbe held under the $15,000 bond un til this is done. It was intimated I that if the reduction company fails • to make a clean-up the city will do 1 so and charge it to the bonding com | pany. With large forces of men at work i daily removing snow front the city I streets and intersections Commis- I sioner Lynch was given permission Ito transfer $7,000 more from the street cleaning fund to pay for this work. This makes a total of $16,- 000, which has been provided for snow-cleaning, $4,000 of which was in the annual budget and $5,000 transferred a few weeks ago from the street cleaning fund. With fair weather during the next few weeks much of the snow will be removed. Commissioner Lynch said. The street cleaning gangs will then be put to work. Only one new ordinance was in troduced, Commissioner Lynch pre senting a measure to authorize the purchase of a $3,000 auto truck. Or dinances passed finally provide for the purchase of a small auto truck for the highway department, and for the registration of all city properties. Plans for carrying out the provisions of the latter measure have already been made by City Assessor James C.Thompson and City Engineer M. B. Cowden. On three previous oc casions a similar ordinance was in troduced in Council but never was called for final passage. The law re quired cities to pass this legislation and enforce it.

When Women Are Nervous— Every woman has days when her nerves are at the breaking point, when irritability and restlessness in dicate that the enervated nerve cells of the delicatelv organized body need replenishing. Shattered nerves mar the disposition, the appearance and retard mental progress. Sleepless ness exhaustion, indecision, faulty memory, lack of continuity of thought, languidness are the natural results of depleted nerves, and de pleted nerves are the natural re sult of excessive drains upon the vi tality. Then it is a serious and dangerous mistake to resort to the use of so-called tonics or drug stimulants. Weak and exhausted nerves need food and nourishment not stimulants that lash them into temporary activity. The food and nourishment advised by present day physicians is just one 5-grain tablet of pure bitro-phosphate taken during or immediately after each meal. Simple advice, but its soundness has been proven over and over again. Moreover the remedy is within the reach of every sufferer from weak nerves, as a large package of bitro phosphate tablets, (sufficient for two weeks' treatment) can be obtained from Forney, Kennedy, Gorgas, Clark, or any first-class druggist at reason, able cost and every package is ac companied by a binding guarantee of satisfaction or money back.

"Gentlemen of the House of Com mons, you will be asked to make suitable provisions for the require ments of the combatant services and for the stability of our national fi nance.
