IF BACKACHY OR
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Eat Less Meat and Take a Glass OF
Salts to Flush Out Kidneys-Drink
Plenty Water.

Uric acid in meat excites the kid
neys, they become overworked; get
sluggish, ache, and feel like Jumps OF
lead. The urine becomes cloudy; the
bladder is irritated, and you may be
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night. When tho
kidneys clog, you must help them flush
off the body's urinous waste or you will
be real sick person shortly. At first
you feel dull misery in the kidney
region, you suffer from backache, sick
headache, dizziness, stomach gets sour,
tongue coated and you feel rheumatic
twinges when the weather is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots of water;
also get from pharmacist four ounces
of Jad Salts; take tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will thea
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
junce, combined with 1ithia, and has
been used for generations to clean
clogged kidneys and stimulate them to
normal activity, also to neutralize the
acids in urine, so it no longer is
source of irritation, thus ending blad-
der weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active. Druggists
here say they sell lots of Jad Salts to
folks who believe in overcoming kidney
trouble while it is only trouble advt

Still Georgia, a rock-ribbed Demo-

For Many Purposes.

VI many uA PVoCcs
This huge demand for lumber will,
l believe be largely for general pur-
pose lumber for temporary construc-
ton and rebuilding, wood paving
blocks, rough construction timbers Of
all kinds, railway ties, car lumber, ETC.
There will, no doubt, be continued
and increased demand for the finer
grades Of American lumber, particular
iy nardwoods, for undoubtedly the
stocks of lumber in Europe have been
exhausted as have the stocks Of many
other lines of manufactured goods.
1T is easy to anticipate what coun-
tries will compete for the privilege Of
supplying this lumbe. We can not ex-
pect to do all the business. We shah
be lucky if we are able to do even a
major part of the business. In the
year 1913 we shipped more wood prod
ucts than any other country in the
world, amounting to total of $115.-
100000 in all. In the same year Rus
STA shopped $88,00O,O00 worth; Sweden
$84,000,000; Austria Hungary $68,000,-
000; Canada $5O,000,O00; Finland $40
100000 Germany $26,000,000; Norway
$24,000,000; Rumania, $5,000,0 100000.
The total European expectation, there
fore, amounted to $3O2,0O0,00O, and the
, combined Canadian and American ex-
portation, therefore, amounted to $780,
10000 making a total from these, the
chief lumber exporting countries OF
the world, of approximately $550,000,~
600. Of course, all this lumber dill
not go tc Europe Sweden, Norway,
Germany and Austria shipped lumber
all over the world, but naturally the
great bulk of their output went to
Europe
United States Lumber Exports.
I'm direct competition with these
countries, so favorably situated, the
United States exported to Europe, and
chiefly to the United Kingdom and
France, over $50,000000 worth of lum-
| her and its manufactured products. OF
the seven European countries that ex-
| ported lumber before the war, five are
co!nbatants and naturally their wood
cutters are at the front and their lum-
Der export business at a standstill No
igures are obtainable for the 1915 ex-
ports of lumber We know, however
that many of the Russian mills and
mill stocks in Poland and in the vicin-
ity of Riga have been destroyed. We
also know that the rebuilding of Poi
and and western Russia will absorb
Russ ian energies for some time after
the C;ose of the war. We know that
Germany is using her forest reserves;
we know that Norway has long beer
over-cutting her annual growth. We
can, therefore, safely predict that the
grestest European competition vii
come from the mills of Sweden an,
Finland. These countries are ice.
bound during six months of the year
usually October to May. The lumber.
men of this country can readily see
therefore, the possibilities and the
responsibilities that lie before them.

for lumber that would come into ex
istence after the war; DR.. Pratt dis

u. S. LUMBER TO
REBUILD EUROPE

Europe will need billion dollars
worth of lumber the first year after the
war; asserted DR.. Edward Ewing
Frat, chief of the bureau of foreign
and domestic commerce, department OF
commerce, in an address Wednesday
afternoon before the forest industry
conference, at Portland, Ore. There
will not only be an opportunity to sell
lumber, there will be a duty that
should not be shirked.
IF the war should end in December,
which is hardly likely, and lumber i'm
ports into Europe should in the mean
time show no increase, there will be
at the close of 1915, an estimated def
cit in the normal European lumber
supplies of some S400,OO0,0O0 This is
entirely outside of the great addi-
tional needs for lumber due to the ac-
tual destruction of the war. No one
knows at present the amount of lum-
Der that will be needed by France, Bel
GUM, Poland and other countries that
have suffered directly from the war, to
replace ruined buildings, railroads,
bridges, etc. There can be little doubt
that this amount will run into large
figures, and that hundreds of millions
worth of general purpose lumber will
be called for as soon as the great
European struggle is ended. 1t has
been estimated in Europe that at least
$500, 900 deficit in the normal de-
mand. This seems to indicate that a
total of $SOO,O0O,OO0 worth of lumber
over and above the usual demand of
$3.50, 100000 will have to be supplied to
Europe by the lumber-producing couu-
tries. Allowance must also be made
for curtailment of consumption due to
ipforced economy. $3SO,OOO,OOO would
seem ample for these purposes. So it !
seems likely that in the year following
the war there will be demand for a |
billion dollars worth of lumber in Eu-
rope.
