# KIDNEYS ACT

Says Backache Is sign you have been

Meat.

| When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been eat

authority. Meat forms uric acid which
Ioyerworks the kidneys in their effort

become sort of yaralyzed and loggy.
! When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them, like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
hackache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you
have rheumatic twfnges. The urine
lis cloudy, full of sediment, channels
often get sore, water scalds and you
are obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the, night.
Either consult good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a 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, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to clean and stimu-
late sluggish kidneys, also to neutral

GREAT INTEREST

The Question Of the Football Fans:
Will the Army Maintain
its Record Again
This Year?

NEW YORK. Nov. 2.-East and
west arguments were dug from the
football archives here today as en-
thusiasts waited for the first big In
tersectional clash of the year at
West Point tomorrow.
Army's splendid team, SO far I'M
defeated, will go into action on the
plains of West Point against the
powerful Notre Dame eleven. Slight
Iy weakened by the loss of Vande-
graft and the absence of Gene Vidal,
the Army nevertheless is favored to
win, largely because of the fact that
Notre Dame was forced to bow to
Nebraska, which later lost to Mfchi-
gan.
The Indiana team will bring its
usual bewildering assortment of
aerial flashes with which it trampled
the Army in their first meeting sew
eral years back. The Army methods.
however, triumphed over this style
of attack a year ago. when the
cadets downed the Hoosiers and they
have perfected practically the same
kind of game this year.
And the Army knows more than
the usual amount of forward pass
ing itself In O1iphant the team pos
sesses distinctive of itself. A man
can pass line or can skirt ends; a
man who can kick or receive forward
passes Around him centers defense
and offense at the service school.
The Notre Dame team is at West
Point where it viii take brief
workout this afternoon. The Cadets
have finished their tuning I'D with

Hard Work to Finish Balls.

The covers. still wet from the
paste, are next carried to q machine
where the Innings are sewed fast
That done, the lined pieces Of leather
are passed TO another machine which
stitches them together in t#os to
put the football cover in the form In
which it will finally be used But
it is wrong side out, so the next
move is to turn the covers. The
cheaper grade of ball is turned by a
machine that pulls the leather out
much as glove is turned. The
more expensive balls are turned by
hand, feat which requires skill and
muscular strength, as well as
patience. The hands of the men who
do this become enormously strong.
The next step in the making of a
football is to place the bladder in
side and blow it up. Then the bali
is stamped on hot press and
worked" until it is of smooth sur
face and ready for the field.

AN OLD FALLACY
IS CORRECTED
Better Footballs Are Covered With
cowhide and the Cheaper
ones With Sheep
skin.
PIGsKIN IS A MIsNoMER
Hides Are Imported From England
Where They Are Specially
Tanned for the
Purpose.

Even the football writer's are at
sea or we should not have the per-
ennial misnomer "pigskin," says the
Scientific, American. The leather
covers Of the cheaper footballs are
of sheepskin, while for the higher
priced spheroids cowskin is imported
from England, where it is specially
tanned for this purpose. The blad.
ders are madeNof the best Para rub
Der. When the game was in its in
fancy in England, the bladder of
pig was blown up and used as foot
ball, and this is probably how the
term original; but pigskin is entirely
unsuited for making the modern foot
ball.
Philadelphia is the great center
for the manufacture of footballs in
the United States. At one establish
ment $4,000 oval footballs are made
In a single season, from June to No
vember. About $500 round "associa-
ton" or soccer" footballs are turn
ed out, and 5000 basketballs.
Women Make Footballs.
The Regular football weights from
thirteen and a quarter to fifteen
ounces. Its life depends upon the
kind of ground on which it is used.
The practice among some youths OF
kicking the football around asphalt
paved courts is not calculated to save
money for the athletic committee of
that particular institution of learning
and sport.
The cowhide comes to the factory
In big pieces. polished and kneaded
All embossed until one involuntarily
reaches out to caress it. These go
to the cutting room. where they are
trimmed to the necessary shape. The
small pieces of leather then go to a
room where women work at long
tables lining the sections of the
future balls. The girl sits with
huge bowl of paste at one side and
the unlined pieces of leather at the
other She turns the leather wrong
side out on the table, smears it with
paste and then presses on il piece
of cotton twill. previously shaped TO
match it The lining must be fitted
and pressed down with q precision
