IF kidneys AND
BLADDER BOTHER
Take q glass of Salts to flush out your
Kidneys and neutralize irri.
tating acids.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from tho
blood and pass it on to the bladder, where
it often remains to i-vitate and infiame,
causing a burning, scalding sensation, or
setting up an irritation at the neck OF
the bladder, obliging you to seek relief
two or three times during the night
The sufferer is in constant dread, tho
water passes sometimes with scalding
sensation and is very profuse; again,
there is difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call 1t,
because they can't control urination.
While it is extremely annoying and some
times very painful, this is really one OF
the most simple ailments to overcome.
Get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from your pharmacist and take table
spoonful in glass of water before
breakfast, continue this for two or three
days. This will neutr LIE the acids in
the urine so !. no Ion ,er is source OF
irritation to the bladder and urinary Or
gans which then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
is used by thousands of folks who arc
subject to urinary disorders caused by
uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is splen-
dill for kidneys and causes no bad
effects whatever.
Here you have q pleasant, efervescent
lithia-water drink, which quickly relieves
bladder trouble.

Copyright, 1915. by w. G. Chapman)
A woodland girl, with flying hair and
shy eyes like nymph's was the ap-
partition Halsey saw when he came back
to consciousness. She was kneeling
at his side, bending over him and
supporting his head, and trying to
stanch the blood that flowed from
the deep cuts in the scalp.
"Oh, you are alive!' she CRIED and
then she blushed to see the injured
mans eyes fixed upon hers.
Halsey had been lost while on his
vacation hunting trip. He had fallen
down the mountain side into the ra-
vine, where the girl found him.
Her father, a rough, ignorant man,
apparently an immigrant, had come,
and now he helped Halsey back to the
shack which he had built in the val
ley. There he lived with his child,
Lily; his wife laid buried on the noun
tain side.
The days that followed, during
which Halsey slowly struggled back
to recover from the loss of blood. were

reverses, but there was always a
new Union soldier to take each va
cant place in the ranks. Month
after month the Union armies grew
larger and the Confederate armies
dwindled. Nothing less than COM
pleta success on the battlefield
could have overcime such odds.
Germany and Austria are out
numbered in the present war as de-
cisively as was the Confederacy. 1t
is trua that, by use of interior COM
munication and strategic lines of
railroads, the Germans have up to
; this time been able to present on
, each important battlefield approx
mately as many, if not more, men
than their enemies. but the total
resources of the allies are far great
er, the allied armies are much larger
in the aggregate than they were six
months ago, and the allies will con-
tinue to bring forward men and mu-
nitions of war in greater quantities
than can their opponents.
Germany. moreover, has lost her
ocean commerce. She has only her
self and Austria, with what aid
Bulgaria and Turkey can give, to de-
pend upon. Her internal problems
may be expected to grow in gravity
as time passes.
Nor can it be shown that any
where Germany has won a decisive
success. She is held by an i'm
pen etrable wall in France. Russia
has heen driven out of Poland. but
the necessities of the Serbian cam
paign have forced Germany to give
Russia what she most needed-time
to reorganize her armies. Even in
Serbia and on the high road to Con-
stantinople Germany, while winning
successes, is losing men that she
cannot replace.
No one, indeed. can say when the
tide will turn. No one could say in
the early summer Of 1868 when the
tide would turn in our Civil War
but we all knew that it did turn
t. with the last Confederate effort tt
carry the heights of Gettysburg
Germany is so placed that single
disastrous defeat anywhere along or
any of the important fronts might
prove another Gettysburg. But, ever
if Germany fights on during the
present winter without a reverse
she is nevertheless doomed to defea
