SALTS fine FOR
ACHING KIDNEYS
We Eat Too Much Meat, Which Clogs
Kidneys, Then Back Hurts and
Bladder Bothers You

Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels, get sluggish and
clogged and need flushing occasional
ly, else we have backache and dull mis-
cry in the kidney region, severe head
aches, rheumatic twinges, torpid liver,
acid stomach, sleeplessness and all sorts
of bladder disorders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney
region, get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any good drug store here,
take tablespoonful in glass of water
before breakfast for 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 is harmless to flush clogged
kidneys and stimulate them to normal
activity. 1t also neutralizes the acids
in the urine so it no longer irritates,
thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which everybody should
take now and then to keep their kid
neys clean, thus avoiding serious, COM
plications.
A well-known local druggist says he
sells lots of Jad Salts to folks who
believe in overcoming kidney trouble
while it is only trouble.-Adv.

WOMEN ACTIVE IN wARR1NG NATIONS

Countless examples of fortitude and heroism are
being furnished by women in the belligerent coun-
tries in these strenuous days. and the pity is that
they cannot all be recorded. They will be men
toned i'm history in general way or Will perhaps
be omitted entirely to make room for the names and
dates of important and unimportant battles.
We may be led to picture European women, par
ticularly Belgian and Polish women, as destitute
refugees carrying babies in their arms and suffer-
ing untold miseres There are spch but they are
fortunately only one class. Many women are not
only supporting themselves successfully, but are
aiding materially in relieving suffering among sol
diers and civilians.
Of the women who are rendering valuable service,
of course comparatively few are permitted to work
near fields of battle. These are doubtless bearing
great responsibilities since they are attending to
wounded men who largely outnumber them. There
also have been not few reports telling how SOL
diers' deaths have been the fate of devoted nurses
at the front
The women in the cities, although suffering sepa-
ration from their husbands, brothers and sons are
said to be going about their daily work with order,
accuracy and system. An organized women S move
ment, for instance, has covered Germany, casting
aside all objects but practical relief work. The
women conducting feeding houses and free
tables. sewing and knitting clothes for the sol
diers, and are carrying books flowers and musical
instruments to the wounded men in hospital wards.
1t seems that the training which the women of the
warning nations now getting will ue very use
full to them in coming years. Their responsibilities
will be great after peace is re-establshed for many
wives will then be widows and many daughters,

$2O.75 to Talk to Frisco

Thus far no Harrisburger has availed
himself of the opportunity to talk by
long-distance telephone to San Fran

Motor Cars in Pekin

The motor car has at last reached
Pckin; taking the place with Chinese
officials of the old Pekin cart. Only &
few poorer Manchu families now ride
in the cart, without which no govern,

to be. Picturesqueness has gone, for the
modern motor car does not permit the
retinue of robed outriders on little long
named Mongol ponies. Only the presi
dent s motor car is now escorted by
mounted men, and they wear modern
military uniforms. The escorts of other
officials ride on the footboards of the
motor cars. On the occasion of the re

China Pays For Slain Americans

The Chinese government has granted
the sum of $4,000 to the heirs of
Bert. r. Hicks, of Oshkosh, Wis, and to
Albert N. Sheldon and Philip Hoffman.
These Americans were teachers in the
Chinese College at Chengtu in the in
terror province of Szechwan, and while
on journey down the Yangtze Kiang
were attacked by river pirates. Hicks
was killed, Sheldon permanently, and
Hoffman slightly injured. Twenty five
thousand dollars goes to the heirs of
Hicks, 100000 to Sheldon, and So, 900
to Hoffman, who is now back again
teaching in Chengtu. The Chinese gov
ernment has paid this compensation in
order to demonstrate its intention to
protect foreigners who accepted posi-
tions under it and come to China.

WEATHER FORECASTS
UTILIZING HARRISBURG BRAINS

There is much to commend in the Elot-Fisher
Companys plan, full details of which were an
nounced yesterday to continue its school for edu-
eating young men of this community for the impor-
tant and profitable work of acting as salesmen
throughout the world for the numerous wonderful
products of the company's big South Harrisburg
plant.
The company conducts regularly organized
school, for approved applicants, for tuition in the
work of .salesmanship. Fifteen young men were
graduated from the school in January and the COM
pany is now preparing to enroll new class for
instruction. The results obtained in January have
prompted the company to state that it is "encour-
aged to find much good material right in its
home city, and adds
We willing to 90 to the expense of educating and
training these from home grow with our business
rather than go out in the hire experienced
statesmen.
While doubtless the officials are convinced that
there is advantage to the company in taking in
elligent young and molding their ideas to con-
form with the company s own methods of selling its
goods there also is great advantage to this COM
munity in the fact that the company is willing to
provide this four-weeks course of expert training
to make statesmen of the available young men of
Harrisburg and vicinity
Too often, perhaps manufacturing concern is
: unwilling to take the time or the pains to train
men for important positions in it's own employ but
demands that the men it employs must have gained
experience elsewhere. The result is that while the
home community may possess abundant good ma
teria' for the making, for instance of saesmen
the company does not take the trouble to develop
this material but unlike the Elliott Fisher company
finds it more convenient to import statesmen who
already have received their training in the larger
cities.
The benefits to the community of the Elliott
Fisher plan manifest for it gives Harrisburg
young men an opportunity, especially valuable at
this time when remunerative positions are not as
plentiful as they are at some other times-to de-
velop and make us of latent talents which other
wise in most would never be developed in the
same useful and profitable direction In brief it is
plan that encourages local initiative and gives
men OF this community chance to do what it would
be necessary to import men from other cities to do
if it not for the Elliott-Fisher company s
offer
