Eating meat regularly eventually produces kidney trouble in some form of other, says a well-known authdrity, because the uric acid in meat excites the kidneys, they become overworked; get sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of distress, particularly backache and misery in the kidney region; rheumatic twinges, severe headaches, acid stomach, constipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and urinary irrilation.

The moment your back hurts or kidneys aren't acting right, or if bladder bothers you, get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any; good pharmacy; take a tablcspoonful 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 lilliia, and has been used for generations to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity; also 'n neutralize the ncids in the urine so it no longer Irritates, thus ending bladder disorders. Jad Salts ennnot injure anyone; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which millions of men and women take now and then to keep the kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus avoiding serious kidney disease.

CASTOR I A For Infants and Children. The Rind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature $10,000 Bail Fixed for Italians Charged With Black Hand Threats. ALL A JOKE, SAYS LAWYER. Capture of Trio Effected After Chase by Sleuths in Auto. Notwithstanding the fact that a "bomb" which they planted In a vatant lot on Four tee til avenue, between Thirty-seventh and Thirty-eighth streets, turned out to be a harmless contraption, three Italians were held In $10,000 ball each by Magistrate Miller, In the Flatbush avenuo court, today, charged with attempted extortion.

They were arrested last night after a spirited chase, by two policemen, who commandeered an automobile to ef-fect-lhe capture. The Giuseppe Lomlnslno, 36 years old, of 1G5 First avenue; Sldlno Barniillio, 20 years, of 205 East Eleventh street, and John Colvltto, 18 years, of 176 Lafnyefto street, all of Manhattan. Were espied planting tho "bomb" by Policemen Bcrbeiieck and Flood. One of the Italians had the supposed infernal machine under his coat nnd when a hole was dug and the "bomb" burled, they 'started off for tho barber shop of Michael Salino, at 550 Gravescnd avenue. It so happened that Saltub hud received a number ot threatening Black Hand letters.

Salino was thoroughly frightened and had already packed his trunk preparatory to fleeing to Italy to escape the vengeanco of the dreaded Mano Nora. Ho had Informed tho police about the letters and so when Borbeneck and Flood saw throa Italians burying the "bomb" In the lot last night, they divined their purpose. Sure enough, the Italians sauntered off in tho direction of Snlino's barber shop, where they waited for somo time, presumably, the police Say, for Salino to poko his noso out aud hear his death warrant read. While Berbeneck fdllbwed the trio. Flood dug up the "bomb," an oval-shaped contraption of Iron with what resembled a bull-head fliso at one end.

Flood was positive that it was a genuine Infernal machine, so he tenderly replaced It If Its grave and wulted for the Italians to return. When they did the two policemen made for the trio, who lied through the streets and sought to get nway. The policemen balled a passing unto and overtook the fleeing men a few blocks away. At the station house there was found on one of the prisoners, the police sny, a letter addressed to Salino threatening to blow up li is shop and kill him and his family If he did not pay $1,000. The barber idetnlfled the trio us nien who had made repeated demands upon him for money.

Iuspector William Heaney of the Bureau of Combustibles, examined the "bomb" and found that It Was as harmless as a dead flea. It was piece of iron with the hollow filled with rand and cigar butts, and there was nothing In it suggesting fuse or eo or powder. Tho at torney for the prisoners) declared that the bomb was planted In a spirit ot run and that his clients had no idea of threatening Salino's life or exacting any money from him. JUDGES' SITE PROTEST O.K.'D Brooklyn League Approves Action Objecting to Appropriation. The executive committee of the Brooklyn League, which met last night In the University Club on Lafayette avenue, unanimously passed a resolution approving the action of the courthouse site committee and of tho development com mittee of the league In demanding of the Board of Estimate that the appropriation for the courthouse site, as selected by the Judges, he withheld.

A proposition to settle the dispute as to tho route of the extension of the marginal railroad along Second avenue was presented by Guy Du Vul and referred to the committee on docks and waterfront Improvements. Mr. Du Vttl's plan to deflect the route of the tracks would add 500 feet of waterfront to the city's holdings and cost $1,000,000 less than the plan of the city engineers. The committee on borough development was Instructed to appear before the committee on franchises of the Board of Estimate in regard to the proposed change In the character of the Three-Cent Line to permit track-laying through Ashland place. The borough development committee of the league will report the result of this conference ut a special meeting of the executive committee called for December 24.

Hartley of 130 Fifth avenue. That Dr. Rhodes, who has beeu a victim of extortion by alleged agents of the Second District Uenttil Society, will supply to District Attorney Cropsey considerable Information to follow In his Investigation, was revealed today in the Court of Special Sessions, when a case affecting Dr, Rhodes, which was ou the calendar for trial, was postponed at the request of Lawyer Stanley C. Fowler, who brought to Justice Russell a letter from Magistrate Keinpner saying that Rhodes would be a valuable aid to the people. Fowler is acting as attorney for Waldo J.

Morse, a private detective, who says he has unearthed a trail of grafting, and who was discharged by the dentists who employed him when he uncovered evidence against some of the very men who engaged him. He sued the Second District Dental Society for his fees and got a judgment, which was paid.

The lawyer then ngreed to nn adjournment and no further action will be taken in Dr. Rhodes' cuso until District Attorney Cropsey can Investigate whatever evidence be bus to offer.

"A route has already been provided for them to continue through Rockwell, place to tho Long Island it. H. dejtot and returning to the Manhattan Bridge through Livingston and other streets.

COMMISSION MAY HALT FAR ROCKAWAY TROLLEY, BECAUSE OF ROTTEN RAILS Unless something is done immediately to replace the "rotten" rails of Ihe Far Rockawny trolley line of the Lone Island tion today into the condition of the track and roadbed of the trolley line. The lino runs over the meadows near Jamaica Bay. "It's a serious question In my mind whether Ihe road should be nllowed to operate at all. It's a shocking state of affairs," said Commissioner Cram at the close of the hearing, which disclosed, according io the Commission's engineer, "rotten" track, in many places below tidewater, and dangerous flattened wheels on tho railroad cars. The hearing was finally adjourned until next Friday, when final action will probably be taken.

Electrical Engineer Clifton W. Wilder made the Investigation for the commission. "In many cases, the rails have become corroded by the action of the salt water along the Rockaway Turnpike," said Mr. Wilder in his report. "This has not only had a disastrous effect on the rails them- selves, but is likely at any time to dis arrange ihe entire electrical equipment of the division." Mr.

Wilder, in his official report, rce- ommends three immediate Improvements. First, the laying of new tracks along tho entire line; second, that all the tracks should be raised above tidewater level; third, that no "flattened" wheels should be used along the division.
