Lt me here say a word on the sub ject of colonist policy, on which I msy perhaps bs allowed to speak with certain amount of authority after ex tended travel In the farthest cornera of Africa, and from an Intimate, personal knowledge of Germans, aa well as Eng Ilsh and French colon lea Germany has lees colonial territory then the older colonists, it Is tnn. It Is also true tbat Uie German struggls for ths most widespread, the most intensive and lucrative employment cf the energies ana capabilities of our highly devel oped rommrcll land Is Justified. But at the risk of being dubbed as absolutely lacking In patriotism, I should like to point out that In Ihs first place the resources we bad at our disposal In our own colonial ter ritory In tropical and sub-tropical Africa, little exploited as thy then were, would have amply sufficed for our commercial needs and colonising capacities though possibly not for our aspirations after world power. And. secondly, ths very liberal character of England a trade and colonial policy did not hinder os In any way from reach ing the top of the commercial tree oven in foreign colonlea Anyone who knows English colonies knows that ths rirttlsh government, wherever It has been possible to do so politically, that Is. la all her colo nies which are already properly or ganised and firmly established aa flrit isfi. baa aiwaa met In a most gen erous and sympathetic way German, and. ind-el any foreign, trade or other enterprise. .Hew firms, with German capital, wrre received with open arms, their c:ienc ar i value for the young country heartily recosniied and un grtidsrinclT encourai-ed. not the sllsht set shadow of any Jealousy of foreign undertakings roe Id ever exist in a rirtttsa colony, and every German could b as sure aa an Englishman himself of being Justly treated In ever) way nd encouraged In ths most generous iifitoa in nts worn. tusuuimi or t.ermans otherwise IhorougMy Imbued wits ths national spirit maae no secret cf (bs fact that ny wouio rar rather live in a Hrltun than a German colony.

Hints wers dropped to dlscourags him. and Inquiries were even made as to whsther hs hsd enough money to book his passage back to wbsra ha cams from. Grave Mistakes Mads. Far bs It from me to wish to deprl- clate by these words ths value of oar own colonial efforts. As pioneers In Africa, we were working on ths very best possibls line, but wa abould have been content to go on learning front ths much superior British colo nlal methods, and should havs finished snd perfected our own domain Instead of always shouting Jealousy about other people's. I am quits convinced thst another ten years of undisturbed peaceful competition and Germany, with her own very considerable colonial possessions on ths one hand, and ths possibility on tbs other of pushing commercial enterprise on ths highest seals not only In Independent overseas states but under ths benefi cent protection of English rula with Its trus freedom and real furtherance of trade "uplift- would have reached her goal much better than by means of ait the sword-rattling weltpolitilc Of the Pan-Germans. It 4s trus that In territory not yet properly organised or guaranteed, po litically still doubtful, and In quits new protectorates. especially along ths routes to India, where vital English Interests are at stake, and on the much-talksd-of Persian Gulf. England could not, until ber main object was fiimly secured, meet In ths same fair way German destrss with regard to commercial activity. And there she has more than ones learned to her cost the trus character of ths German weltpolitik. That la the real meaning, at any rats so far as colonial politics are con cerned of the German-English conteat for a "place In the sun. No ons who understands It aright could ever con- dona ths outgrowths of our weltpoli tik. however much bs might desire to assist German ability to find practical outlet In all suitable overseas territory, nor could hs ever forget the wealth of wonderful deeds, wrought In the serv ice of human civilization and freedom. Englishmen can place to their credit years bsfors wo sver began. Germans st Crowded, With such conslderatlona of Justlcs In view ws should have recognised that there waa a limit to our efforta after expansion, and as a matter of fact ws should bars gono further and fared better In a decade ws should have probably been really wealthy for the English In their open-handed way cer tainly left us a surprising amount of room for the frso exercise of-ewr com mercial tslents. I havs Intentionally given an Illus tration on.y of ths colonial aids of ths problem affecting German-English re lations, so that I may avoid dealing with any subject 1 do not know from personal observation. It waa this English people thst. In spits of ali their egoism, hava really dons something for- civilisation, that the German of August. 1914, sccused of being nothing but a nation of shop keepers with a cowsrdTy. narrow minded policy that vu unprepared to make anv sacrifice for others.

The urine becomes cloudy; the bladder Js irritated, and you may be obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. When the kidneys clog you must help them flush off the body's urinous waste fir you'll be a real sick person shortly. At first you feel a dull misery in the kidney region, you suffer from backache, sick headache, dizziness, stomach gets sour, tongue coated and you feel rheumatic twinges when the weather is bad. Eat less meat, drink lots of water; also get from any pharmacist four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoon- ful 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 lithla, and has been used for generations to olean clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity, also to neutralize the acids in urine, so it no longer Is a source of irritation, thus ending blad der weakness. Jad Salts is Inexpensive, cannot in jure; makes a delightful effervescent lithla-water drink which everyone should take now. and then to keep the kidneys clean and active.
