When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a
lot of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clean, by flushing them
with q mild, harmless salts which re-
moves the body's urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal activ-
ity. The function of the kidneys is to
filter the blood. In "a hours they
strain from it 500 grains of acid and
waste, so we can readily understand
the vital Importance of keeping the
kidneys active.
Drink lots of water-you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass Of
water before breakfast each morning
for few days and your kidneys will
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 clean and
stimulate clogged kidneys; also to
neutralize the acids in urine so 1t no
longer is a source of irritation. thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot In
jure; makes delightful efferyescent
lithia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep
their kidneys clean and active. Try
this, also keep up the water drinking.
and no doubt you will wonder what
became of your kidney trouble and

Professor Moore also stated that
The weather bureau would have to

"More progress has been gained in

BY FRANCE
"a.

The drive at Verdun seems to have
been checked by the French after pos
sibly the most important and SAN
culinary fighting of the European war.
The New York Sun says:
Across Europe runs the longest pat.
tie line of history, and every yard OF
it has its hero. Trickling across the
map a thin double line marks the
trenches where through the weary
months Teutons and Allies have heid:
with varying fortunes, never yet de-
cisive, the greatest deadlock OF hos
tile armies in all the war of the
world. And through it all in the
th:ckest of the fight have stood heroic
the colors and the uniforms OF the SOL
diers, of France. The nations, never
questioning the gallantry of those
brave men, yet questioned Their TEN
peranlental fitness dor the logged
worl, of war. They had dash, it was
said. but not the plugging persever-
ance of the German, the bulldog tenac-
ity Of the Briton. Yet no troops have
withstood better than the French the
long, grinding strain Of trench war
fare.
And now where the battle lire
threatens to give way at point most
vital, now when the German offensive
is delivered its most smashing blows,
concentrating its utmost strength ami
weight of artillery and rifle fire, there
at the point of impact stand the regi-
ments of France, indomitably coura-
geous, hard as tempered steel, never
wavering, never thinking of retreat,
beating back wave after wave OF tine
German flood of lead and iron. Train
loads of the wounded go rearward
with regret, and trainload of reserves
rush to the front, but never fast
enough to suit the eager desire of the
new men to take the places OF their
fallen comrades.
Surely never has a nation so risen
to the needs Of its Great Hour as
France today! her spirit is the spirit
Of one man, that man hero. Batter
Il and bleeding she breathes the de-
fant motto of unyielding fighter i'm
mortal in history; we have not begun
TO fight France has heconQuered glor
and the praise of brave men forever,
Who should more admire her mex
