We are a nation of meat eaters, and our blood is filled with uric acid, says a well known authority; who warns us to be constantly on guard against kidney trouble.

The kidneys do their utmost to free the blood of this irritating acid, but become weak from the overwork; they get sluggish; the elimi native tissues clog, and thus the waste is retained in the blood to poison the entire system. When your kidneys ache and feel like lumps of lead, and you have stinging pains in the back or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or the bladder is irritable, obliging you to seek relief during the night; when you have severe headaches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or rheumatism in bad weather, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a' tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast each morning and in a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia. and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neutralize the acids in urine so it is no longer a source of irritation, thus ending urinary and bladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot injure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia water.

drink, and nobody can make a mistake by taking a little occasionally to keep the kidneys clean and active.

NEW POWER IN CRISIS FOR CHRISTIAN DEMOCRACY WWWWiWWWVWVWW By WILLIAM T. ELLIS The International Sunday School J.

essoin For December 26 Is, "The Uosix of the a Review Since we are not interested In any truth that is unrelated to real life, and since this assigned lesson reviews the character and work and principles of Jesus; and since the date of the lesson is the day after Christmas, it seems opportune to make an important definite application and proposal. Conditions constrain us to unusual measures. Our fermenting world cries, aloud for action, prompt, fundamental and comprehensive. Everywhere on earth everybody who thinks is talking about the need for leadership; and for a spiritual suffusing of our troubled times. But each of us is waiting for somebody else to show the way.

Is not the mode dem' Vjeatic and Scriptural method for all of us to bend to the task? By what medium can it better be done than through the worldwide Sunday school movement, with its tlu ty millions of members all over. the earth This present article will be read by millions of persons, inside and outside of the Sunday school and the church; if they respond to the simple, old fashioned suggestion herein made, the world tide of transforming power, already started, will be immeasurably accelerated. It points the way to new power in a crisis for Christian democracy. A consideration of the proposition is surely the most practical application of the theme ef Christ and Christmas. Something to Do "What I am about to propose is more important than politics and statecraft.

Most of our international ills arise from the habit of delegating initiative and responsibility to a few professionals, who are often entirely unaware of tbw deeper life of the day. To surcharge the popular thought of the world with spiritual purpose and spiritual passion is a greater task than the appointment of all the world's ambassadors, ministers plenipotentiary, consuls or other foreign representatives. There are enough interested Christians in the world to accomplish that objective, once they are enlisted. Here, definitely, is the suggestion prompted by this lesson, and proposed to Christians of all names and in all places: It is simply that 'we begin with this Christmas Day. and this portentous New Year.a regular program of daily, definite prayer for the world's awakening to the spiritual significance of the time's unrest.

In particular, let us undergird the President elect of the United States with world wide pillars of spiritual solicitude and support; not forgetting to pray also for our stricken President. Guil.iing Man Who May Guide World "But why," asks a reader, "should a Canadian or a Britisher or a Frenchman or a Chinese pray for the President elect of the United States? Some are readier to ourse him. And why should who did not agree with him politically, take his name into the most sacred experiences of their personal lives?" On the surface of things lies the answer. The United States of America is to day the world's pivotal nation. There is not a European government that will not freely declare, or has not already declared, that the nature and extent of America's participation in international affairs is one of the gravest questions topching the world's peace and the preservation of our Christian civilization.

They also perceive that Amctica may be the final battlefield of the new war between Bolshevism and real democracy. Highest statesmen best know how critical are present conditions. By the nature, of the American government. President elect Hard; ing may largely shape the policies of his country during the next lour years. This means that his words and acts, and, back of these, his state of mind, are of profound importance at this momentous juncture to the well being of all humanity.

Frankly, neither Mr. Harding nor any other one man is equal to the emergency. The war and the inadequate peace have proved the insufficiency of any single personality for present world leadership. If 'the new President of the United States is to fulfill the mission that hour offers him, it will be "not by might nor by power, but by my Si irit. raith the Lord." Surely, then, here is an.

object deserving of jhe sustained prayers: of the entire Christian world. Transcending, and even overcoming, A PRAYER Great God of the nations, Ruler over all rulers, who hast a Father's compassion for all people everywhere, we pray for Thy special intervention to day in the affairs four world. The wisdom and power of man'have failed us. Our pride is in the dust. We know ourselves to be unequal to the great work of making over into justice and peace and broth erliness our disorganized civilization.

Helpless and contrite, we turn to Thee, King of Kings and Sovereign mankind. Come thou to our help. Do to us and for us whatever Thou seest we need; and make, us all willing in the day of Thy power. Especially do we pray for Thy servant, the President elect of the United States. He has turned to Thee for wisaom and ability; do Thou hear his own prayers, and the prayers of all people everywhere that he may be God's man, bent only upon doing Thy most holy will in the service of the world.

Help us all to help him by our unfailing intercession. We entreat Thee to lift him up to heights of vision and spiritual responsibility that he knows not of. Lead him in a plain path to highest service of his own nation and of all the world wide brotherhood of nations. Make him an apostle of good will and a loyal servant of justice. With him, fill us and thrill us with new understanding of what it means to do the will of God, and to live supremely for man's only hope, which is the Kingship and Sa viourhood of Jesus Christ on earth.

Amen, advice of the sophisticated publicists who will surround America's President elect, may be the spiritual illumination that the concerted prayers of concerned Christians may impart. Thousands of interested persons are seeking to influence Mr. Harding concerning appointments, ranging from petty postmasterships to cabinet positions and ambassadorships; and concerning policies of all degrees of importance and unimportance; why should not the friends of (iod be' equally zealous in influencing hiirt, by way of the Throne of Mercy and Might, concerning the highest wisdom and welfare of his nation and of the whele world. concerning "peace on earth, good will to men?" Thus the countless company of humble saints the plain people who know little about state el aft, but who do want God's will done on earth may bear a powerful part in rescuing this runaway world.

BISHOP M'DEVITT. FAVORS PRAYER CRUSADE Commenting on the inauguration of a prayer crusade to aid President Harding with Divine guidance. Bishop Philip R. Mc Devkt, of. the Harrisburg diocese, said: "As the President is the President of all the people, and not of a party or a faction only, and as his) words and acts affect profoundly ahe welfare of the whole nation, it would seem an imperative duty for all who believe that no man ran fulfill the heavy responsibilities of hi office with out assistance, to ask God dailv to grant wisdom, counsel, knowledge and fortitude to the he of this great republic that his administration may uphold iusice, preserve promote national happiness aad prosperity amL perpetuata the blessings of 'bntty and liberty."
