Eat less meat if you feel Backachy or

Meat forms uric acid which excites

relieve your bowels; removing all the
acids, waste and poison, else you feel a
dull misery in the kidney reg ion, sharp
pains in the back or sick headache, diz-
illness, your stomach sours, tongue is
coated and when the weather is bad you
have rheumatic twirges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment; the channels
often get irritatel, 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 a table
spoonful in glass of water before break
fast for a few days and your kidneys will
then act fine and bladder disorders dis
appear. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with ithia, and has been used for
generations to clean and stimulate slug
gish kidneys and stop bladder irritation.
Jad Salts is inexrensive; harmless and

forty miners lost their lives when
300 men were caught in the Mitchell

workings. One hundred men es'
capped, thirty or forty bodies had been
found by rescuers and 100 were

The mine is mile from this town.
The explosion was distinctly heard

telephone operator, hurried to the
mine and aid was summoned from
Duquoin and Murphysboro. A rescue
car also was sent from Benton:
The work Of rescue began immedi'
ately and within two hours several
bodies had been taken from the work

No hope is held out for the 100 men
known to have been working on the

Water Is Red From
Blood Of Slain.
!.
BATTLE IS DESPERATE
Five inousand Germans Give
Lives in Night Battle.

London, Oct. 2S.-The correspond
ent of the Daily Mail in Northern
France, telegraphing under date OF
Sunday night regarding the fighting
on the River User, says:
There were $500 German bodies in
the User canal this morning after the
fighting in the night. Many of them
were drowned and others were bayo-
Melted. The very water itself was
bloody, while Dixmude's streets were
strewn thick with the dead.
"These ghoulish facts alone give
some idea of the savageness of the
fighting, the desperation of the Ger
man attacks and the stubborness of
the allies resistance.
1.-THE night was hell from dark to
dawn. At almost every point of the
line man was opposed by man, some
times at few hundred yards dis
lance, but more often in close grips.
Face to face men even wrestled and
died by drowning each other in the
canals waters. The Germans had had
orders to get through that night, cost
what it might.
probably 5000 Of them gave thei'
lives last night. They could not givs
more yet they failed, but not because
the Germans did not literally obey
their orders. They crossed the water
way all right as they were bid, but
once through they could not make
good They were moved down with
rifle shot, torn into human fragments
by shells and bayonetted back yard
by yard over their own dead into the
waters of the canal. Into the very
gray of the morning this bloody work
went on so fercely that there was
hardly trench or bridge guard in the
whole line that did not imagine that
he had been singled out for special
attack.
Hardly One Got Back.
1T is believed that some 5000 Ger
mans crossed the River User, but
hardly one of them got back. Those
to the north and northeast of Dix
nude, probably 1000, were met by a
fine rally of the Belgian infantry and
of the cavalry, who had tetered their
horses, and were driven by main
force, at the bayonet's point, to the
river canal and into it: There must
have been frantic scenes and the
bodies seen in the water on the next
day gave grim testimony of this.
about 5000 German infantrymen
got into Dixmude. They held it for
a time, but with shell fire and rifle
fire the place was riddled through
and through. The Germans dashed
ont of the crumbling houses only to
be wiped out by cirocco of shrap-
mel and shot in the streets.
when Sunday morning broke the
dead and wounded we're everywhere.
Dixmude was cemetery, but in the
woods not far away the Germans still
fingered. They held position under
a desperate fire and eventually were
reinforced. The allies could not GUST
them and the Germans are still across
the User
Their presence may not be perma-
nent and they may suffer the same
fate as has overcome hundreds Of
their fellows during the week, who
got over only to meet their death, but
the Belgian and French lines, for the
back about this point
