 PARIS, April 3. - The military writers and experts predict that the latest attacks on the defences sur rounding Verdun, forcasted a renewal of the Teutonic attempts to take that fortress. They believe that the Ger mans are preparing for an infantry rush on grand scale, hoping to over whelm the French defenders, after preparing the way by a great artil- lery bombardment. This view is borne out to some extent by the French air

Only Part of Route Covered.

Incidentally. a portion of the route
of the proposed national defense high
way between the two capitals was fol-
lowed, but, losing our way in the blind
ing storm, we gave up the attempt to
negotiate the balance of the distance.
We were glad enough to get up on high
ground, away from the water-covered
roads and get our bearings once more
prior to starting for home.

the weather was bright and clear. that

route out of the National Capital was
through the northeast section of the
city, picking up the Baltimore Wash

northeast and turning to the left over
the District end of this highway.
Arriving at the District line we fol-
lowed over good concrete road on
the Maryland side to Bladensburg, 6.5
miles from our starting point. Here we
left the splendid boulevard and turned
to the right at the blacksmith shop.
The road at the start was a good
gravel highway. but this later turned
into a red clay road. In several places

locate them. And this even was no
easy task under existing conditions
1t is useless to specify the various
forks and turns and crossroads from
this time on. because we felt that we
were retracing some of the road we
had alreay gone over. In fact all roads
looked alike to us that night. But
on the other hand we could distinguish
here and there new landmarks which
we had not seen before. That was the
only comforting encouragement which
we received. Finally we picked up a
set of telegraph wires that looked good
to us, and these we followed, and when

Heavy Roads Ahead.


1t was just after we left Buena Vista
that heavy downpour occurred, ap-
pearing more in the nature of a cloud
burst. Side curtains were broken out
and, with the rain beating in torrents
against the windshield, we proceeded
cautiously through the thickly wooded
road ahead. 1t was almost impossible
to see three feet ahead of the car on
account of the rain. At IA miles we

one hour and half.
The rain was coming down so hard
that no attempt was made to move the
car. The water in the ditch was play

At 9.5 miles we took the left fork,
following the telegraph wires. keeping
straight ahead at lib miles over a
typical country road. which parallels
the tracks of the Pennsylvania rail-
road. We continued to follow the wires
and at Ill miles turned to the right
at the old Lanham post office and after
crossing the bridge over the railroad
tracks. turned sharply to the left with
another set of telegraph wires. The
road to the left we were informed leads
to Bowie.
We had gone but short distance
when we got our first taste of mum
dated roads. At 1928 miles we saw two
wooden rails about three inches above
broad expanse of muddy water
which was rushing in torrents down
stream. There was every indication
that there was a bridge between those
two side ratings. Preparing ourselves
for the exciting moments. that were to

through the swift-moving torrents in
the center of the two rails and when
we felt the machine rolling over the
wooden floor of the bridge the water
came up to the floor boards

whether the floor was there or not, but
we took a chance and came through
safely on the other side. However, we
were prepared for a ducking had the
bridge given way beneath the load of

HEAVY MEAT EATERS
HAVE SLOW KIDNEYS
Eat Less Meat If You Feel
Backachy Oh Have Bladder
Trouble---Take Glass
Of Salts

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by flush
ing the Kidneys occasionally, says a
well known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which excites the kidneys,
they become overworked from the
strain, get sluggish and fail to filter
the waste and poisons from the blood,
then we get sick. Nearly all rheuma-
tism, headache, liver trouble, nervous.
ness, dizziness, sleeplessness and uri-
nary disorders come from sluggish kid
'neys.
The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalding, stop
eating meat and get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take
a tablespoonful in glass of water be-
fore breakfast and in few days your
kidneys will act fine. This famous salts
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lthia, and
has been used for generations to flush
and stimulate the kidneys, also to neu-
er causes irritation, thus ending blad-
der weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes delightful effervescent
Whitewater dIipk which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications.
