IF BACKACHY OR
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Eat less meat and take a glass
of Salts to flush out Kid

Uric acid in meat excites the kid
neys, they become overworked;
get sluggish, ache and feel like
Jumps of lead. The urine becomes
cloudy; the bladder is irritated
and you may be obliged to seek re-
lief two or three times during the
night. When the kidneys clog you
must help them flush off the body's
urinous waste or you'll be real
sick person shortly. At first you
feel dull misery in the kidney
region, you suffer from backache,
sick headache, dizziness, stomach
gets sour, tongue coated and you
feel rheumatic twinges when the
weather is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots of wa
ter; also get from any pharmacist
four ounces of Jad Salts; take a
tablespoonful 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 lithia, and
has been used for generations to
clean clogged kidneys and stimu-
late them to normal activity; also
to neutralize the acids in urine, so
it no longer is a source of irrita-
ton, thus ending bladder weak
ness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot
injure; makes delightful effer-
vescent Whitewater drink which
every one should take 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 kidney trou-

HE confided to us that he intended
going from San Juan directly to the
Canaries We supposed that this was
confidential, but the next day we FOUND
that every storekseper in San Juan knew
that he was going to the Canartes. Then
We promptly decided that he would head
for any other port then the Canaries.

a very dark night. She weighed anchor
and slid out Of the harbor, blaze OF

CAS- soon as she turned the point into
the open sea every light was put out and
it was impossible to see from the shore
that anything was moving except as she

HEAVY FALL OF SNOW,
HOPE Of THE FRENCH

Of Supplies and Possibly Drive

Him Into Open.

LONDON. October e4-The Times to-
day prints long dispatch. in which
its correspondent at Nancy, France.
under date of October Is, gives a vivid
picture OF the fighting on the right
wing of the French army.
Though the French official communi-
cations continually state that the sit
uation on the right wing is unchanged"
he says. they do not mean that the
oposing armies are marking time. The
Germans have made fierce efforts to get
Verdun These efforts were as flercely
repelled and the French field army still
stands between the army of VOTE and
the coveted fortresses of Toul and ver-
dun.
I'm the attempt on St. Mihiel the Ger
mans were more successful Hard
fighting will be necessary to eject them.
but the German objective-the junction
of the army of Metz with the right
wing OF the crown princes army of
Argonne-has been prevented. The
French are praying for a heavy fall OF
snow, which would seriously hamper
the enemy's movements of supplies and
might even drive them into the open
like wolves.
THE guns of verdun have never yet
been in action and there is no prospect
of the fall Of Verdun unless the French
field army allows the Germans to get
their big guns within range.
Fixed Forts Now Obsolete.
'The whole history of this war. how
ever. goes to prove that utter useless
ness of forts under present conditions.
The best type of fortifications seems to
consist of batteries from which the
guns can easily be moved to a new
point as soon as they are located by
the enemy. The day Of the fixed fort
is gone. After the Germans had in
trenched themselves at st. Mihiel their
big guns made short work of the
French forts at Troyon and Camp Des
Romans. The guns of the forts had
range of only five miles against the
German sieger's range of seven miles.
THE Germans have placed a battery
of Austrian 42-centimeter guns on the
site of Camp des ROMANS. which com
mands ST. Mihiel and a large part Of
the Woevre. 1t is most important that
the French recapture this position. but
it will take the most severe kind OF
fighting to do So"

RHEIMS BOMBARDMENT

ITO say that Rheims is extensively

over 10000 persons.

Rheims and their guns command large
sections of the town. but the lombard

have only two of their biggest siege

BIG new AUTOMOBILE
IS DESTROYED BY FIRE
Edward B. Mclean, the Owner, Is
Painfully Injured-Accident
Near Beltsville, Md.

Edward B. McLean's new italian au-
tomobile was destroyed by fire yes
terday afternoon after an accident on
the washinEton-Baltimo boulevard
not far from Beltsville. Md. Mr.. Nc
Lean received a severe injury to his
right wrist. Frederick w. Chaplin, law
yer and member Of the Metropolitan
Club, and John Osborn Gheen. horse
man, who were with him, escaped in
jury. Another automobile owned by
Mr.. Mclean was destroyed by fire on
the same road only a few weeks ago.
Yesterdays accident. 1t is said by an
eyewitness, occurred when Mr.. Nc
Lean made an effort to pass another
automobile that had zigzagged across
the road In front Of him. evidently try
ing to prevent him from passing.
Car Strikes an Obstruction.
The car ahead Of Mr.. Mclean finally
went far enough to one side of the
road to enable the big italian car to
pass. and in going to the left side OF
the road Mr.. McLeau's vehicle came
in contact with the concrete upright
at one end of a culvert, made three
complete turns in the road. dropped to
one side of the boulevard and caught
fire. 1t did not overturn.
1t is said 1t was not until the Mclean
car was within a few feet of the cnl-
vert that the obstruction was seen. A
quick turn was made to the right and
the front wheel cleared the obstruction.
The car swerved. however, and the
gasoline tank and rear wheel struck
the concrete structure with force
enough seriously to damage and dis
place them.
The excitement was SO great, Mr..
Gheen said, that 1t was impossible for
the three occupants to tell just what
did happen. They managed to get out
| of the car about the time the gasoline
way from the race track gathered
about the burning car. They were un-
able to extinguish the fire, however.
Mr.. Mclean Comes to Washington.
Mr.. Mclean, his right wrist painfully
injured, left the scene Of the accident
with his companions. An automobile
| truck was hailed and the men were
brought to the city. One Of the Prince
| Georges county constables was soon
| on hand to make an investigation of
| the accident and to tender relief. The
| three men who occupied the car when
the accident happened were some dis
| tance from the scene OF the affair when

! ber of the license on the burning We
