|QUIT MEAT WHEN
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take glass Ct Salts before breakfast
if your Back hurts or Bladder is
is troubling you.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally
says a well-known authority. Meat
forms uric acid which excites the
kidneys, they become overworked
from the strain, get sluggish and fail
to filter the waste and poisons
from the blood, then we get sick.
Nearly all rheumatism, headaches,
liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness,
sleeplessness and urinary disorders
come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache
in the kidneys or your back HURTS
or if the urine is cloudy, offensive,
full Of sediment, irregular of pass
age or attended by a sensation CT
scalding, stop eating meat and get
about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any pharmacy; take a tablespoon in
glass of water before breakfast
and in afew days your kidneys will
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush
and stimulate the kidneys, also to
neutralize the acids in urine so it no
longer causes irritation thus ending
bladded weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes a delightful &C.
fervescent Whitewater drink which
everyone should take now and thehn
to keep the kidneys clean and actice
and the blood pure, thereby avoiding
serious kidney complications.

progressed in civilization we have dis

civilization that we have not likewise
abandoned the national hip pocket as
symbolized in our great navy and our

capes Is Cut Off by Locked Doors.
Boston, Dec. 4.--Twenty-seven men
were killed in fire which swept
through the upper floors of the Ar,
cadia hotel, lodging house in the
South End. Others are missing.
Scores were injured jumping from
windows and others suffered severe
burns.
Nearly all the bodies were terribly
burned and mutilated, making identi.
6cation impossible. The victims were
men in poor circumstances who had
resorted to the place for the night.
Caught in crowded hunks on the top
floor of the five-story brick building
and in the small rooms on the fourth
floor they were helpless. When they
were aroused the stairways were in
flames and there was mad rush for
the fire escapes at the rear. Prac-
tically all the men were naked
Many were rescued by tiremen and
police. Some escaped by walking a
shaky plank stretched to an adjoining
building or by jumping across a five
foot alley to neighboring roofs The
property loss is only $4,000.
The fire apparently started in a hall
way closet on the street floor. The
flames swept up the wooden stairs
and burned through the roof Accord
ing to William Walsh, the night clerk,
there were 17S dodgers in the building
when the fire was discovered by a
passing newsboy.
After turning in an alarm he rushed
into the building, awakening the men
with his shouts
No Escape for Some Roomers.
The top floor was one large room,
filled with cots and hunks. On the
fourth floor, where the loss Of life was
heaviest, there were thirty tiny rooms,
like cells, with two cots in each. A
hallway ran through the center. Near.
ly all those occupying rooms in the
front of the building persisted. The
men in the rear rooms, opening on the
fire escape, had locked the doors whel
they went to bed and those in front
were unable to reach the fire escape.
When the firemen arrived flames
were shooting twenty feet in the air
from the windows on the fourth and
fifth floors and the fire escapes and
the roof were a mass of shrieking,
struggling humanity. Despite shouts
Of assurance from below three men
jumped from the roof. Two were in
stantly killed. The third, who had
wrapped mattress about himself es-
capped with few bruises.
Lifenets were quickly stretched by
the firemen and many were rescued in
this manner. Others were taken down
ladders with the flames sweeping
about them. The intense heat soon
drove the fremen from their ladders
and made it necessary to fight the fire
from the street and from the elevated
railroad structure in front of the
building.

pounds.
Two stripes and two stars were add

the flag be permanently thirteen
stripes, and that new star be added
for each state when admitted to the
Union. There are now forty-eight

Mistress Ross at once began to make
sample flag. In the middle of June
1777 the flag was accepted by Con-
gress, and for eighteen years it re-
manned the flag of the nation
In 1895, after Vermont and Ken
lucky came into the union, the stars
and stripes were increased to fifteen,
and year after year new states came
knocking at the door asking for adj
mittance.
'Too many stripes on the flag" said
the people when, with twenty states
there were twenty stars and twenty
stripes True enough" answered the
great men in Congress, "let us not
mar the beauty of our nations flag"
So it was decided that after July 4,
1918, there should be thirteen stripes,
first red one and then white one
and that every time new state was
admitted to the Union a star should
be added to the blue field
One by one, new stars have taken
their places on our flag until today
forty-eight are found on the field of
blue. Thus you see, there is a star
for each state and a stripe for each
of the thirteen original colonies.
1t was in August, about three
months from the time that General
Washington paid his visit to Betsy

not find a new flag to hoist.

One officer gave a white shirt, some
body furnished blue jacket, and a
soldiers wife gave a red flannel pet

1t did not take long for the men
and women in that frontier fort to
make the flag and hoist it, and then
came the cheer of Hip, Hip, Hur-
rahi"
This flag was raised over the five
captured British flags on August 6,
l777.
Many more victories have been won
under its folds In fact more lives
have been sacrificed for its defense
than for any other flag.

For every stripe of stainless hue,

As the colonies gradually became

flags of various designs in the differ

In the early colonial days the col
onies had no national flag. The flags
mostly used were the rattlesnake flags.
Another flag used was one with an all
blue field and a silver crescent in the
corner This flag Sergeant Jasper
fought hard to save.
When the thirteen colonies united
against the mother country to fight
for their rights. thirteen stripes
came into use on the flag.
Then again the Continental Con
Gress began TO fit out a navy. The
warships must have a flag to fly
ON the high seas, for otherwise they
would be called pirates.
Congress sent the wise Benjamin
Franklin to Cambridge, Mass, 10
talk over matters with General Wash
ington. Franklin was then to recon-
mend a flag to Congress.
Let us have the Kings colors as
the union or color square, said
Washington. and combine with it
thirteen red and white stripes. This
will show that we are still loyal to
King George but are united to fight
for our rights"
This hag called the Cambridge flag
or the flag of the united colonies.
appeared in January, 1875 at Wash
ington's headquarters. 1t was sal
uted with thirteen guns.
Six months later on July 4, 1776.
the great Declaration of Independence
said to all the world that there was a
new nation, the United States OF Am
erica. This new nation of course
must have flag, symbol of its
birth.
One pleasant May morning in 1777.
the little house on Arch Street was
as neat and trim as Betsy Ross, the
tidy young widow could make it,
The stately General Washington had
sent her word the day before that he.
Robert Morris and Col. Ross would
have the honor of calling upon her 10
talk over the matter of making the
new flag: for Betsy Ross was said TO
do the finest needlework in the
country.
The clock on the church had just
struck twelve when the Commander
in Chief and the great merchant APP
peared in MISTRESS Ross little back
parlor. After the formal greetings
were over Washington took from his
pocket a sketch of the flag. 1t was
to have thirteen stripes, seven red
and six white, with circle of thirteen
stars on field of blue. After look
ing at the sketch, Mistress Ross
noticed that the stars We're six-pointed.
She asked Washington why he had
made them so. when the stars IN
heaven seemed five-pointed. He
replied that il would be too difficult TO
make five-pointed stars. With one
clip of the scissors she cut perfect
five-pointed star, thus convincing the
worthy gentlemen that her idea was
best With stately bows the two
gentlemen took their leave OF the
