THE STAGE
NKW YORK. Deo. 8. (A. P.)
Leading American playwrights have
locked horns with motion picture In
terests In what they describe as a
death struggle for the future of the
American stage.
At a secret meeting yesterday of
4 7 dramatists plans were laid for the
fight und a i-ommUteo appointed
to carry them Into action.
The step was taken because 'Wil
liam Fox, motion picture producer,
is trying to finance New York pro
ducePs of plays in exchange for film
rights. The dramatists Interpret this
as an attempt to corner the play pro
duction mnrket and say they are
facing a desperate situation.
Maurice Revnes, Fox production
mnnnger, ndmits that offers . have
been made, but refuses to name the J
producers. Broadway gossip names
five of the largest producers on the.
Rlalto.
If the deals are closed and other
motion picture producers make simi
lar agreements to protect themselves
ngamst Fox, tho playwrights argue
they will find themselves In n mar
ket limited and controlled by four
or five concerns.
dimming pollock, author of many
stage successes, says that aside from
the official action decided upon by
unanimous vote nt yesterday's meet
ing, he and several other lending au
thors would cense to write for the
stage unless the matter were satis
factorlly settled.

The American men and women must
guard constantly aguin&t kidney trouble
because we oiten tat too much rich food.
Our blood is lilted with acids which the
kidneys strive to filter out; they weaken
front overwork, become sluggish, the
eiiminative tissues clog and the result
is kidney troubte, bladder weakness and
a general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like lumps
of lead; your back hurts or the urine
is cloudy, full of sediment, or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three times
during the night ; if you suffer with sick
headache, or dizzy, nervous spells, acid

when the weather is bad, begin drink
ing lots of good soft water and get from
vour pharmacist about four ounces o
Jad Salts. Take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys may then
act fine.
This famous sails is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, com-
Lined with lithia. and has been used for
years to help flush and stimulate clogged
kidneys, to neutralize the acids ill the
system so thev no longer are a source
of irritation, thus often relieving blad
