Pennsylvania Girls Patriotic Endeavor
Not Wholly Successful.

AS the third section of the troop
train carrying the Sixth Pennsylvania
to the concentration camp pulled out
of this little town this morning, says
a dispatch to The New York World
from Clearfield, Pa. 60 sturdy soldier
boys, massed in the rear car and on
the platform. gave vent to deep groans
of disappointment and gazed enviously
at 273 of their comrades. each 6f
whom wore a SMILE.
Down the track ahead We're the first
and second sections, each bearing q
full load of boys in khaki, and each
boy bearing a similar smile In all
there were 971 smiles
Why? '- :"
Ask Miss Mary Hainsey, aged 1s,
the prettiest girl in Clearfield. Miss
Mary herself wore a look Of happy ex-
altation, for she had just demonstrat-
ed her patriotism by kissing 971-
count 'em, 971--of Uncle Sans boys
squarely on the mouth in the period
of two hours, thirty minutes This is
at the rate of slightly less than Gas
kisses per minute, and is believed in
Clearfield to be record.
Miss Hainsey began only few
minutes after the first section Of the
train stopped at Ciearfield depot. She
was still going when the third section
pulled out, but had to jump or the
rear platform with threescore uh-
kissed. ~

Why a. Second Term for Manning.

Some of the newspapers in the State
which are opposed to Governor Man.
ming are calling upon him to say
whether he has always supported Gov
ernors who We're candidates for re.
election.
But what difference does that
make?
Governor Manning should not be
given second term simply because
that has been the upbroken custom
in South Carolina for forty years.
He should be given second term
because he has earned it.
He should be given a second term
because his endorsement at the pri-
maries this summer will stand also
as an endorsement of the constructive
efforts with which his administration
has been identified.
He should be given a second term
because in no other way can the
voters testify SO convincingly that this
State wants a strict and impartial en-
torcement of the laws.
So far as Mr.. Manning is concernei 4
1t makes little difference whether he
- governor for two years or for
four.
IT makes very great difference in
deed whether the people of South
Carolina will support governor who
does his best under exceptionally diff
iicult circumstances and whose admin
istration has made for the progress,
Of the State and the alignment of po-
litical strife.-Charleston News and

MEAT CAUSE OF
KIDNEY TROUBLE
TAKE SALTS TO FLUSH KIDNEYS
If BACK HURTS OR BI1AD-
DER BOTHERS.

If you must have your meat every
day, eat it, but flush your kidneys with
salts occasionally, says a noted au-
thority who tells us tnat meat forms
uric acid which almost paralyzes the
kidneys in their efforts TO expel 1t
from the blood. They become slug
gish and weaken, then you suffer with
d dull misery in the kidney region,
sharp pains in the back or sick head
ache, dizziness. your stomach sours,
tongue is coated and when the wealth
er is bad YOU have rheumatic twinges
The urine gets cloudy full of sedi-
ment, the channels often get sore and
irritated, obliging YOU to seek relief
two or three times during the night
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the body's urinous waste get four
ounces of Jad salts from any pharma-
cv here; take tablespoonful in a
glass 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 and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
neutrallze the acids in urine so il no
longer irritates. thus ending bladder
weakness.
