! WEEK REvEasEs CONDITIONS.
Germs ans Now Pursued After Being
Pursuors For Days,

P0r1uoro For DAYS.
London, Sept. 1.-THE sixth week Of
the war between Germany and France.
Great Britain and Belgium has brought
a vast transformation. The pursued
now are the pursuers. The irresistible
sweep OF seven German armies thru
Belgium into France met an immovable
force at the Marne river.
The Army Of General Won Kiuck.
which SO long battled to turn the al
lies western flank, was itself slowly
and steadily outflanked. Its retirement
before the small but hardy British
army turned the tide of battle.
Today, IL the French official reports
are correct, all the German armies ex-
cept that facing verdun and few
miles southwest are retreating. General
Won Klucks army, which week ago
was a few miles to the southeast OF
Paris. has retired more than sixty
miles to the northeast, while on the ex-
treme right the army OF the Bavarian
crown prince. which attacked the
French eastern line from Nancy to Ep-
inal, has fallen back to the frontiers
OF Lorraine, permitting the French to
reoccupy .Luneville and several other
towns.
General; Joffre, the French command
er in chief. pictures the retreat as hur-
ried, il not disorderly, with the Ger
mans abandoning prisoners, wounded
and supplies.
Last Sunday Dark.
Last Sunday was the darkest day OF
the war for the allies. The French
government emigrated from Paris tc
Bordeaux in a long sad procession
OF motor cars. An attack upon the
capital appeared imminent and the
main German force had hammered
huge wedge into France between
Paris and verdun with its center
some miles south of that line.
The French people tremb,ed with
the question whether their army was
not a beaten army; whether the his
tory Of 1870 would repeat itself.

decided in week. is regarded by mill

EAT LESS MEAT
IIF BACK HURTS
Take a Glass of Salts to Flush
Kidneys il Bladder
Bothers You.

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says q well-known authority,
because the uric acid in meat eXcites,
the kidneys, they become oyerworked; /;
get sluggish; clog up and cause all
sorts of distress, particularly backache
and misery in the kidney region; rheu-
matte twinges, severe headaches, acid
stomach, constipation, torpid liver,
sleeplessness, bladder and urinary ir-
ritation.
'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 tablespoonful in a
glass0 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 flush
clogged kidneys and stimulate them
to normal activity; also to neutralize
the acids in the urine so it no longer
irritates, thus ending bladder dlsor-
ders.
Jad Salts cannot iniure anyone; it
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.
