QUIT MEAT WHEN
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take a glass of Salts if your
Back hurts or Bladder
troubles you.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally,
says a well-known authority. Meat
forms uric acid which eXcites the
kidneys, they become overworked from
the strain, get sluggish and fail to
filter the waste and poisons from
the blood, then we get sick. Nearly
all rheumatism, headaches, liver
trouble. nervousness, dizziness, sleep
lessness and urinary disorders come
from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache
in the kidneys or your back hurts or
if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full
of sediment, irregular of passage or
attended by a sensation of scalding,
stop eating meat and get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy; take a tablespoonful in a glass
of water before breakfast and in a
few days your kidneys will 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 flush and stimu-
late the kidneys, also to neutralize
the acids in urine so it no longer
causes irritation, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes a delightful effer-
vescent Whitewater drink which
everyone should take now and then
to keep the kidneys clean and active
and the blood pure, thereby avoiding
serious kidney complications.

Nearly all the sickness incident to

PROF. HOWARD G. DIBBLE. PRIN-
CIPAL OF THE CENTRAL HIGH
SCHOOL, WRITES:


Our debt to our Country seems
to me to be persistently under
estimated. Our sense of security,
our ability to exercise our rights,
is dependent on and in direct pro-
portion to the power of our gov
ernment to protect us. 1t is OBJ
vious that we have an obligation.
At this juncture it is just as OBJ
vious that we can best meet our
obligation by service. To be val
liable, service must be efficient.
1t is hard to deny that the log
ical conclusion is universal mill
tary training.
but l must protest against
any attempt TO have this training
grated on the High School. SUI
perintendent Henry Snyder, of
Jersey City, is chairman of the
committee of the National Edu-
cational Association for investi-
cation of this subject. His idea
is that the temptation to intro
duce the military feature into the
High School is merely the one of
half doing 1t by doing it the
easiest way, since the High
School is already organized and
we can apply an anaesthetic to
our national conscience by saying
Let the High School do it,"
Military drill as it would be con-
Quoted in the High School is not
for q moment to be mistaken for
military training. One is of ne
cessity a feeble imitation of the
other.
"All things considered, prob
ably universal military training is
desirable, but if we must come to
it let us at any rate have the real
thing"

DESPONDENT WOMEN

Constantly recurring suffering gives
women "the blues" Comparatively
few women realize that dependency,
together with backache. headache, and
that dragging down feeling indicate

consequent happiness than any other
