"Every man in this line purchased a Liberty bond, did you?" eve have not, but will today, will you?"
 Two banners bearing the above le- gends and carried by tall men played conspicuous parts Wednesday morning l in thcLiberty bond celebration and pa rade of the First, Second and Third Training battalions, composed entirely of negroes, at Camp Pike.

IF KIDNEYS AND
 BLADDER BOTHER
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys ant Neutralize Irritating
 Acids,

Kidneys and Bladder weakness re- suit from uric acid, says noted au- thority. The kidneys filter this acid from the blood and pass it. on to the bladder, where it often remains to irri- tate and inflame, causing a burning scalding sensation, or setting up an ir- ritation at the neck of the bladder. ob- liging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. The sufferer is in constant dread, the water passes sometimes with a scalding sensation and is very profuse; again, there ie difficulty in avoiding it.
 Bladder weakness, most folks call it, because they can't control trina tion. While it is extremely annoy ing and sometimes very painful, this is really one of the most simple ail- ments to overcome. Get about four ounces of lad Salts from your. phar- nacist and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water befare breakfast, con tinue this for two or three days. This will neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irrita- tion to the bladder and urinary or. gans which then act normally again.
 lad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon jucie, combined with lithia and is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary disorders caus ed by uric acid irritation. lad Salts is splendid for kidneys and causes no bae effects whatever.
 Here you have pleasant, efferves cent lithia-water drink, which quickly relieves bladder trouble.-Adv.

BACK INJURED. RIBS BROKEN,
 YOUTH REC0VfRS
Willie Badgett, Sheridan Hit by Falling Log, in
 Hospital One Month

Willie Badgett, white youth 20 years of age, who was brought to the .Davis husQitdl In this city, from Sheridan, Ark, September 21, with five broken ribs, a severe injury to his spinal column, right hip and ab- domen injured, vita scant hope for recovery, has been dicharged as cur ed, and has returned to Sheridan.
 Badgett was injured at Stelps camp, near Sheridan. He was in the employ of the Arkansas Short Leaf Lumber company, driving log wag. on. He was about to unload his wag- on at the camp, when one of the beavy logs became dislodged and fell to the ground. Badgett attempted to jump out of the way but the log caught him, striking him on the back and side, pinning him to the ground. Five ribs on his right side we're broken, his right hip and abdomen injured and his spinal column were badly injured.
 Dr. R. E. Jones and Dr. J. B. Shaw of Sheridan gave him immediate at tention, but 1t was deemed advisable to bring him to Pine Bluff for treat ment without delay. He was brought here and placed in the Davis hospital. Dr. J. w. Lemons, president of the hospital staff and the superintendent, Miss Elizabeth E. Hamilton, watched the case closely, making minute ob- servations daily, expecting every day would be his last for some time.
 For long while young Badgett felt his condition was hopelessly ia. tai, and this had a backward effect, but his. physician and the superin- .tendent gave him every encourage. ment and finally found him respond ing to their treatment, with the re- suit that the youth whose case was regarded as fatal when he was brought to the hospital more than a month ago, recovered and was dis. charged Monday as cu~ed, though 1t will be some weeks yet before he will be able to return to work.

General Davis said he felt sure that Pine Bluff was community of public-spir- ited citizens: that he reached that conclusion even before he reached the city. He reached it, he said, when he struck. about twenty miles from here, your fine concrete road. I knew then that Pine Bluff is one of the most public spirited e cmmunites, not States" General Davis commended the business foresight that prompted the building of good roads, and con trasted the evident progressivenes of Jefferson county people in this re- spect with the lack of progressive ness that permits tho existence of such road as lis tagged on to your dollarway."

He spoke in light vein for awhile. and then tul ned to the top ics in every mind-the war and the Liberty loan campaign. There is something for every man to do," said tie senator. "Somc can fight, some can pay. And if I am any judge, I believe the most of you here today are in the latter class" He said there is no room in this United States just now for man not willing to render his country some se1vice", and urg- ed his hearers to do their patriotic their obligations to the nation.

 TWO

TWO COLUMNS - - - - S--DEMOCRACY OF AMERICANS.
 There took place in Pine Bluff yes terday an incident that could be wit. messed in no other country in the world, save, possibly, France. It was an incident that exemplified the Iemocracy of men in this land of liberty. and, on Liberty Day, it was almost impossible to avoid contrast. ing tbis demonstration of the spirit of democracy, equality of men and the attitude of toleretion existing in America with the autocratic and arro' yant class distinction that prevails ia the countries with which America and her allies are at war.
 Seated at the table reserved for the guests of honor at the Rotary club luncheon, at the Hotel Pines. were a brigadier-general of tie United States army, General Davis, United States senator, Joe T. Robinson; a Jewish rabbi, Dr. Louis Witt of Little Rock; Catholic priest, Rev Father Hig- gins; Methodist minister, Rev. Mir. Steel, and private citizen, William Nchol.
 The circumstance was commented upon by H. Kemp Toney. president of the Rotary club, in opening the meet. ing and extending a welcome to the distinguished visitors. as well as prominent local guests of the Rotar- ians on this occasion.
 General Compliments People.
 Introduced by MT. 1oney to speak on the subject What Can the Ro- tary Club Do For Him." Brigadier- General Davis remarked that his visit to Pine Bluff would always be o.ie If the bright spots in his recollection, explaining that he did not mean par ticularly the pleasure he felt at being the guest of the Rotarians, but had reference mainly to a circumstance that showed the kindly heart and hos pitality displayed by lone of your ! 'kizens. General Davis said he started for Arkansas 30 years ago "but got shunted to New Orleans" and had not reached the state until a few weeks ago, when he was as signed to have charge of Camp Pike. He then went on to say that tho 27 years had elapsed since he had seen tthis P3nd lBbWff citi3en." he had hardly arrived in the state before he received from this citizen in Pine Bluff; most cordial letter. inviting alimsto Pine. Bluff, anf. breathing the spirit of hospitality and friendship. And 1t was this letter from Captain tpytll Nichpl,- believe you call him here" said General Davis, "that is mainly responsible for my presence here today, and that makes this occa- sion such a gratifying one for me. It is red blood that counts. and l know Captain Nichol and your other citi- xens have the good, red blood that stands for the highest type of man hood, and means kindliness and cour- tesy, as we'll as courage" General nayis recalled that he and Captain Nichol were at West Point at the s&1me time, he an upper classman and Captain Nichol "plebe." the general accepted with qualification the demonstration, as given by Captain Nichols kind invitation. the proof that the gulf is more apparent than real, and that collese men of. the Ntchol type may ever be expected to
