Eat Less Meat and Take Salts
For Backache or Bladder
Trouble Neutralizes
i Acids
1 Uric acid in meat excites the kidneys,
I tlioy become overworked; get sluggish,
1 ache, and feel like lumps of lend. The
urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is ir
I rituted, and you may be obliged to
1 seek relief two or three times during
i the uight. When the kidneys clog you
J must help them flush off the body's
I urinous wustc or you'll be a real sick
, person shortly. At first you feel a
! dull misery in the kidney region, you
' suffer from buckache, sick headache,
I diziness, stomach gets sour, tongue
coated and you feel rheumatic twinges
I wheu the weather is bud.
Kut less meat, drink lots of water;
also get from any pharmacist four
ounces of Jad Salts; tnko a tablespoon
ful iu a gluss of water before break
fast for a few days and your kidneys
will then net fine. This famous Baits
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for generations to clean
clogged kidneys and stimulate them to
normnl activity, also to neutralize the
acids.in urine, go it no longer is a source
of irritation, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Halts is inexpensive, cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which everyone
should tako now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active. Druggists
here say they sell lots of Jad Salts to
folks who believe in overcoming kid
ney trouble while it is only trouble.

Leaders Think Conference
Today Will Bring End
to the War
meekly with the strict American de
mands without anv show of refusal or
disapproval, such compliance would
have met with popular denunciation
and would have cost tho government
some prestige among its subjects. For
this reason, It is liiuted, Vienna took
the course it did.
'Having maintained a dignified po
sition, Austria can gracefully yield in
a subsequent note, said a German
official today.
The Austrian position of seeking fur
ther light on the case is generally ap
proved here. As to the Vienna press,
it is refraining from defiant editorials
at the government's suggestion, and
this is taken here as confirmatory of a
belief that Austria docs not intend
there shall be an ultimate break. In
geuerul, the Vienna papers state that
Austria tiesires io inniiiiuin irieuui
relations with America, and thnt the
government is willing to accept the
American viewpoint if the Uuited
States administration will submit the
proofs of her contenions.
The Cologne Gazette hails the Aus
trian replv as "being much more sub
tle and therefore more effective than
the American note.
The Volks Zeitung says Count Bu
rian has used the "trenchant weapon
of biting irony," wliilo the Lokal An
aeiger speaks of President Wilson's
"big rule words," which it holds in
sufficient without the proofs that Aus
tria asks. Other Merlin papers em
phasize the polished manner of the
Austrian replv.
Fire Trespass On
National Forest Lands
Portland, Or., Dec. 1". During the
past fire season on the National forests
of Oregon and Washington, there were
tho usual number of fire trespass rases
but the Wenatchee National forest in
southern Washington took the prize
for the number ot convictions seven
in all. Four of the cases were the re
sult of burning without a permit, and
the other three were due to leaving
camp nres burning.
In the ease of tho N'ickles brothers,
a fire was started In n slashing without
a permit nud got away from the men,
covering over 00 acres and juinpiug
across tne wenatchee river. Tho men
were arrested, admitted their guilt,
and were given the minimum fine and
ensts. 11. It. Smith, of Mettitt, also
burned his slashing without a permit,
was arrested inula paid his fine.
Of the camp fires left, the most seri
ous of the three cases was that caused
hy a bov meinoer of a surveying party.
The bov was left alone for a while, and
built a ciiiiiii firo to get warm. When
ho left, ho threw something over the
tire to smother it, but as it was lu
rather deep humus, this was tho worst
thing ho could '. In a day it had de
veloped into a bad fire and burned
over 40 acres. The boy'B responsibil
ity was shown, he was arrested, con
fessed, and was fined $10 and cots,
San Francisco Chinks
Will Back Revolution
San Francisco, Dec. 17. Bound to
gether by the common cnuse of fight
ing the ascendency to the Chinese
throne of Yuan Hhl Kal, the various
tonga in Han 1'rnnclsco 'a Chinatown
have buried tho hatchet and are united
In pushing a campaign for revolution
funds.
Members of tongs which have been
threatening outbreak will gather Hun
day, when definite atepa will be taken
toward raising money to finance the
Chinese rebel army now mobilising.
It was understood along tho water
front that when tho liner Cliiyo Maru
sailed today for the Orient two dole
irntes were aboard representing local
Chinoso with a lnrge sum of money to
aid the revolutionists. Tue Chinese
consul here was unable to confirm the
reuort.
It Is also understood that when the
revolution breaks hundreds of tong gun
men will leave America to join the

New York, Dec. 17. Willi the chief
moguls of organized and independent
baseball in .New York for the peace
conference this afternoon tranquility
iu the baseball world appeared to be
only a matter of hours.
Another definite step toward secur
ing peace was taken when President
John K. Ten,er and National league
owners went into session to name com
mittee which will confer with Amer
ican, International and Federal league
flub owners this afternoon.
While the feeling is general that
some definite action will be taken,
baseball followers anticipate wrang
nigs oyer details. With American
league holding the whip hand in the
matter, considerable uncertainty exists
among Federal and National owners as
to powers of the American league com
mittee. As Harry F. Sinclair, one of the
chief financial backers of the independ
ents, reiterated his declaration that
Federal players must be taken care of
it appeared that the conference will be
prolonged as organized owners' have
expressed doubt as to tho status of
players who jumped.
Ban Johnson, who arrived this
morning from Chicago at the head of
the American league, beamed with op
timism, and expressed the belief that
the outcome of the conference would
be satisfactory.
Johnsons attitude that there will be
little objection to Federal league own
ers buying into the National league is
expected to greatly facilitate the peace
plans.
With the minor leaguers meeting this
afternoon at the Waldorf, it appears
certain that the little fellows will be
cared for iu the general peace confer
ence which will follow.

test soenied slow in comparison to the
GoodPinkman nffair.
In spite of his cleverness, Dnnny
O'Brien of Portlnnd, found thnt Billy
Wright or Seattle was too much for
him. Wright was not so clever as his
adversary but slowly wore him down
and nil but stopped the Portland light
weight in the last round.
Travie Davy of Everett was shy of
pep and Chet Neff got n decision over
him.
Charlie Davidson of Seattle and Joe

Methodists Trim Redskins In
Fast and Exciting Game
by 27 to 24 Score
Willamette university basketball
tossers scored a win over the Chemawa
team last night in a fast game bv a
score of 24 to 27 and opened the season
with a rush thnt promises to carry them
well through tho schedule. The Willam
ette team of this year shows a vast
improvement over lust year's aggrega
tion and in the passing department they
were far ahead of the Indians. Willam
ette fell down in basket shooting and
Brooks was the only consistent drib
bler on the team. The redskins scored
several wild baskets from the field and
at times took spurts when they could
not bo headed and the score stood 22 to
19 in favor of Chemawa np to the last
three minutes of play.
Then the Methodists took a brace and
rolled in four baskets in quiek succes
sion while the Chemawa lads netted one
As the final whistle blew Willamette
started off ahead but the fast team of
the visitors took the lead after the end
of the first half when the score stood
17 to 13 in favor of the Willnmettes.
In tho second half the home guard did
not make a basket until the last few
minutes of play when they won the
game by a little accurate shooting. The
Indians excelled in speed and played
the floor like veterans but Willamette
was ahead on team work and passing,
Coach Matthews has made an excel
lent showing with the team this year
and the fault of missing baskets can be
remedied. Willamette iB weak in the
guard positions sb compared with Che
mawa but excelled in the center and
forward positions. Chemawa scored
eight points on 14 free throws and Wil
lamette scored three points on eight
free throws.

MANY TROUBLES DUE
TO WEAK KIDNEYS
"It is no use advertising a medicine
unless the medicine itself is good
enough to back up the claims you make
for it. On the other hand it is a pleas
ure for druggists to sell a medicine
when customers come in after-ward
and tell how much good it has done
tbein. And that is why druggists like
to sell nnd recommend Solvax the great
kidney remedy. Ever since we first
introduced Solvnx drug clerks have
been so busy selling it that it is some
times hard to keep a sufficient stock
on hand. Moreover Solvax is always
sold on a positive guarantee of relief
to tho kidney sufferer or money back.
This may seem rash but users have
said so many good words in favor of
Solvax that it is not expected that
ninny packageB will be returned."
This shows great faith in Solvax. It
really is a most unusual medicine be
cause it overcomes the worst cases of
kidney complaints by removing the
cause. It goes straight to the seat of
the trouble. It soaks right in and
cleans out the kidneys and makes them
pass off all the. uric, acid and poison
ous waste matter that lodges in the
joints and muscles, causing rheuma
tic pains; soothes and heals the blad
der and quickly ends all such troubles.
.Nothing iB more uncomfortable or
hurts a person's perfect enjoyment of
life more than troublesome kidneys
and their attending evils. Use Solvax
and begin to get your full measure of
benefit out of life. Sold by Daniel J.
Fry and other leading druggists in this
vicinity.

THE NEWEST REMEDY FOR
BACKACHE, RHEUMATISM AND DROPSY
Kidney, Bladder and Uric Acid troub
les bring misery to many. When the
kidneys are weak or diseased, these
natural filters do not cleanse tho blood
sufficiently and the poisons are car
ried to all patts of the body. There
follow depiction, aches and pains,
heaviness, drowsiness, irritability, head
aches, chilliness and rheumatism. In
some people thfc are sharp pains in
the back and loins, distressing bladder
disorders and sometimes obstinate drop
sy. The uric acid sometimes forms in
to gravel or kidney stones. When the
uric acid affects the muscles and the
joints, it causes lumbago, rheumatism,
gout or sciatica. This is the time to
try "An-uric."
During digestion uric acid is ab
sorbed into the system from meat eat

Druggists Must Neither
Polish Scale Weights
i Nor Let Them Get Dirty
Druggists scale weights become too
light if they are cleaned and polished
and become' too heavy if they are al
lowed to pick up alhesive particles
from the pans of the balances and bIiow
error both through cleanliness and
through negligence according to Frank
Ward, Treasurer of the Oregon Board
of Pharmacy. Mr. Ward recently made
an inspection in 26 drug stores of the
balances used in weighing drugs to fill
prescriptions. We found but one set of
balances that were inaccurate but on
the other baud he found but one set of
weights that were correct and of course
a correct balance is useless without cor
rect weights so the matter was taken
up with the state sealer of weights
and measures.
Another possibility of error in thai
prescription is through the fact that
somo doctors use the metric system in
giving amounts and others the com
mon apothecary system of weights. In
many cases tho druggist is equipped .
with but one set of weights and is
obliged to rely on tables of reference
to weigh out the prescription in th
other system. Fred G. Buchtcl ndvioe
that all pharmacists keep two sets ot
weights on hand, one for the nietrio
and one for the apothecary.
In the future all district sealers will
inspect drug stores on their rounds and
any scales that are off will be con
demned and also scale weights will ba
made to tally as an error of one-tentb
of one grain in some drugs might causa
a serious difficulty in filling a pre
scription. Mrs. Bnlwin's charge that a num
