KITCHENER TALKS TO LORDS
British War Minister Says Country
Must Make Many Sacrifices.

London, Aug. 26.-Lcrd Kitchener
made his first speech as minister OF
war in the house of lords. He told his
hearers that this war undoubtedly
would strain the forces Of the empire
and entail big sacrifices. He laid EN-
phasis on the fact that his position in
the cabinet involved adherence to
neither party.
The terms on which | am serving
are the same as those under which
scme of the finest portions of our man
hood, now so willingly stepping for
ward to join the co!ors, are engaging.
That is to say, my term OF office is for
the duration OF the war, or for three
years if the war should last as ,ons
as that 1t has been asked why this
period has been limited. 1t is because

it's duration, that after three years OF

Nnited States Watching Situation in
Turkey Because of Presence ct
American Missionaries.

Washington, Aug. 2G.-According to
Official advices to the American gov
ernment from various sources an
acute situation has arisen in the Bal'
kan states over the possible entry OF
Turkey into the European war.
Turkey has not yet g.v"n Great br.t'
ain. France and Russia a satisfactory
explanation of the entry into the Dar'
danelles OF the German cruisers Gee
ben and Breslau. When it was frst
reported that Turkey had purchased
these vessels, Great Britain, France
and Russia demanded that tie crows
of the two ships be repatrlated a,
once. German crews are still aboaro
the cruisers. :,
Many Washington diplomats tamil
iar with the situation consider it prac
tically certain that should Turkey
side with Germany and Austria. Italy
would abandon it's position Of ncutra'
ity and join Great Britain, France
Russia and Servia, who could count
also upon the assistance OF Bulgaria
and Greece.
Both Greece and Bulgaria are undel
martial law with their armies mobl!
lied along the frontiers watching Iur
KEYS movements. The troops or the
Ottoman empire are quietly mobillzins
without public order to that enect
ltaly's order for mobilization Aug. ~
is believed here to be due to some ex
tent to Turkeys military activity.
The United States is watching tne
situation in Turkey, particularly &c
cause of the presence there OF nun
dreds of American missionaries. Am
bassador Morganthau has been max
ing long reports on tho situation ane

provinces had threatened nIassaafe

TAKE SALTS TO
FLUSH KIDNEYS
Eat Less Meat If You Feel Backachy
or Have Bladder Trouble.

Meat forms uric acid which excites and
overworks the kidneys in their efforts
to filter it from the system. Regular
eaters of meat must flush the kidneys
occasionally. You must relieve them
like you relieve your bowels; removing
all the acids, waste and poison else
you feel a dull misery in the kidney
region, sharp pains in the back or sick
headache, dizziness, your stomach
sours, tongue is coated and when the
weather is bad you have rheumatic
twinges. The urine is cloudy, full Of
sediment; the channels often get
irritated, obliging you to get up two or
three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine and bladder
disorders disappear. This famous salts
is made from the acid of grapes AMI
lemon juice, combined with lithia and
has been used for generations to clean
and stimulate sluggish kidneys and
stop bladder irritation. Jad Salts is
inexpensive; harmless and makes
delightful effervescent lithia-water
drink, which millions of men and wo-
men take now and then, thus avoiding
serious kidney and bladder diseases.

STOICAL PATIENCE Of THE BRITISH
IN AWAITING NEWS OF BATTLE
the Var of its Army and Navy and
Ability Blood of Britain Being Spilled
in England and Civilization.

London, Sept. 22.-The patience with
which the British people await news
from their army is as remarkable as
il is unexpected. They know the Brit
ish troops have been engaged for a
week in a terrible battle which is the
elimination of the fighting which has
gone on with two or three brief res
pites since August %. They know the
little British army has held the post
of the hardest fighting throughout and
that the next roll of casualties will De
heavy. Yet they appear to recognize
that inexorable military necessity i'm
posed upon them these days of sus-
pense, and from the newspapers and
the public little complaint is heard.
The last official report revealing
any details of the British operations
was published last Thursday night.
That report was short and dealt most
ly with scattered incidents of Field
Marshal Sir John French's advance
against the German right wing. 1t

It's GrandmOther's Recipe To Bring
Back Color and Lustre to Hair.

That beautiful, even shade of dark,
glossy hair can only be had by brewing
a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Your hair is your charm. 1t makes or
mars the face. When it fades, turns
gray, streaked and looks dry, wispy
and scraggy, just an application or
two OF Sage and Sulphur enhances its
appearance hunoredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the tonic;
you can get from any drug store So
cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" ready to use. This
can always be depended upon to bring
back the natural color, thickness and
lustre of your hair and remove dan
druff, stop scalp itching and falling
hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage and
Sulphur because it darkens so natural
ly and evenly that nobody can tell it
has been applied. You simply dampen
sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through the hair, taking one
small strand at time; by morning
the gray hair has disappeared, and af-
ter another application it becomes
beautifully dark and appears glossy,

Not far from the writer's home there

pet with his young mistress, and who
has shown a great fondness for music.
When his mistress practices or takes
her piano lesson, so soon as the first
note is struck, a gentle tap, tap" is
heard at the window, and there stands
the pigeon, begging to come in. When
admitted, he walks straight up to the
piano, and lies at the players feet, and
all during the music expresse his ad-

tie creature is affectionate and fond
of petting, but will leave anyone to

The later official reports have been
terse bulletins which enabled the
newspapers only to draw fresh lines
On their maps showing the progress of
the battle front. These bulletins
merely have announced the accom-
plished moves in the war game, like
cable reports of an international chess
match.
The government has made the cou1-
try understand that the requirements
of secrecy overshadow all other con-
siderations and that the officers of the
staff have no time to spare for writing
descriptions of the engagements.
Correspondents lowering in the wake
of the armies send descriptions Of
/ fragments of the battle they nave been
able to see, and stories from the
wounded. The sum of their impress
ions is that the past weeks battle ex-
ceeded in violence and stubbornness
anything in modern history since the
struggle at Port Arthur.
The part that British officers are
playing is illustrated by the bare tes-
timony of the casualty lists. Seven
hundred and ninety-seven officers arr
among the killed, wounded and miss
ing, which is percentage out of all
proportion to the losses in the ranks.
One hundred and thirty officers have
been killed; 3SS have been wounded
and 279 are missing, many of the miss
| ing probably must later be recorded as
killed or wounded.
The Coldstream Guards regiment
holds the place of honor, with thirty
one casualties among the officers
corps. The Kings Royal Rifles and
the Suffold regiment each had twenty
five officers killed or wounded; the
Gordon Highlanders and Cheshire reg
iment each nineteen. The field artil-
lery has lost fifty-six and the medical
corps f1fty-two officers.
