Nation Is Starting Campaign to
Raise Adequate Fund for Ameri-
can Red Cross to do Its Duty

There are those who want to know
why the Red Cross Ia so important to
the nation In It's war emergency that
President Wilson issued proclama-
tion appealing for 500, ,000, 900 fund
and setting aside Red Cross week In
whicn to raise IL.
At the front line trenches, stretch
er bearers wearing the insignia Of
the Red Cross will be found carry
Ing the wounded to the rear. Red
Cross ambulances are carrying the
wounded to Red Cross base hospitals
where Red Cross physicians and
nurses faithfully nurse the wounded
soldiers back to health. In order that
they may return TO the world war
for liberty. or be able to come back
TO those who wait for them at home.
The sbandages used In Red Cross
hospitals are made by devoted wom-
EN-. working for the Red Cross In
Hmany communities.
The vocational training given sol
f.diers. incapacitated for former en-
ployment will be organized by the
Red Cross. The mother who has
given up her boy. her support. to
the service Of his country. will find
her necessities cared for by the Red
Cross and he can march away with
no anxiety as to her welfare.

is under Red Cross direction. Thus
all along the line the universal SER
vice OF mercy helps to lessen the hor-
rors and rigors OF war and to
strengthen the nation. The United

Red Cross and the Red Cross is de-
pendent on the contributions OF

MEAT INJURIOUS

We are nation of meat eaters and

The kidneys do their utmost to free

tissues clog and thus the waste is re-
tanned in the blood to poison the en-
tire system.
When your kidneys ache and fee

the bladder is irritable, obliging you
to seek relief during the night; when
you have severe headaches, nervous

stomach or rheumatism in bad wealth
err, get from your pharmacist about
four ounces of Jad Salts; take ia
blespoonful in glass Of water be-
fore breakfast each morning and in
a few days 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 flush and
stimulate clogged kidneys, to neutral
ize the acids in urine so it is no
longer a source of irritation, thus
ending urinary and bladder disorders.

Gray, faded hair, though no dis

II works.!

Ouch !? ?? This kind of rough
talk will be heard less here in town If
people troubled with corns will follow
the simple advice Of this Cincinnati
authority, who claims that few drops
of drug called freezone when applied
to a tender, aching corn or hardened
callus stops soreness at once, and soon
the corn or callus dries up and lifts
right off without pain.
He says freezone dries Immediately
and never inflames or even irritates
the surrounding skin. A small bottle of
freezone will cost very little at any
drug store, but will positively remove
every hard or soft corn or callus from
ones feet. Millions of American women
will welcome this announcement since
the Inauguration of the high heels. If
your druggist doesn't have freezone
tell him to order small bottle for you.
