IF KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKES SALTS
Says Rackache Is sign you have been
eating too much
.. Meat.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says a well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they
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 twinges. The urine
is 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 a good, reliable pfysi-
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 a 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
ize acids in the urine so it no longer
irritates. thus ending bladder weak
ness.
lad Salts is a life saver for regular
meat eaters. It is inexpensive can
not iniure and makes delightful eff
fervescent Whitewater drink.

HOLSTEEN WRITES
ABOUT SHAkEUP
Commander OF Iowa Ammunition
Train Tells What It Means to
Change Organization to .
Present Status.
LOSES HIS AUTOMOBILE
AS Commander He Win be Expected
to Ride a Horse and Not
Have Car at HE
Disposal.
LOSES HIS AUTOMOBILE

That the ammunition train boys are
taking the news Of the shake-up in
their organization in right spirit is
to be Judged from statements In a
letter from Col. Fred S. Holsteen, COM
handing the train The letter was
published in the Burlington Gazette,
and the part which will interest Keo-
kuk friends of the men in the train Is
given here:
incidentally / might say that our
trip from Des Moines to this camp
was certainly pleasant one. Both
sections of the train came through on
time, with absolutely no sickness or
accidents. and by the middle of Fri
day afternoon all were in their re-
spective quarters, no one seeming the
worse for the trip. but rather looked
on 1t as a sort Of pleasure jaunt.
THE next day, however, Saturday,
our troubles began. not only with us
hut for the entire division. In other
words, orders were received by the
different unit commanders advising of
q general shakeup and reorganiza-
ton. For instance, a Nebraska regi-
ment goes out of existence and is
largely converted into supply train
and other auxiliary troops. A similar
situation takes place with the Second
Iowa infantry regiment.
What Shake-Up Means.
THE ammunition train which
have the honor to command will not
fare quite so badly, in fact, in some
ways the command is bettered. For
instance. I am to be given 252 more
enlisted men and ten additional off,
GERS, but the ammunition train in
stead of having twelve com panies is
seven companies, four Of which are
motorized and three are animal
drawn. Then again. in addition to
the enlarged number Of men, l am
given some 600 horses and mules.
there is also to be attached to the
ammunition train an ordnance re-
pair shop of three officers and twenty
six men.
while some of the members OF the
ammunition train feel disappointed, Of
course, that they will not be able to
ride in automobiles, but, instead, will
have either horse or wagon to ride
on. 1 believe quite generally they are
taking it in the right spirit AS a
matter of fact am one of the number
who loses out on the automobile. In
of an ammunition train provides for
the commanding officer to be mounted.
which means that must supply my
self with horse instead Of the gov
eminent furnishing me with an'auto-
mobile. 1t only means one instance
where the government wins and
lose
so far as l am able to determine at
this writing the members of this COM
mand are all well and seemingly pleas
ed with the location, climate and sur
roundings. and no one is disgruntled
over the fact that today the Iowa am
munition train ceases TO exist and
the 109th ammunition train, 34th di-
vision has its birth

Receipt to be Used.

these food parcels are sent to the
prisoner three times a fortnight. The
parcels supplement the bread which is
also regularly supplied and each of
them contains ten pounds of meat,
butter, sugar, jam, coffee or tea, salt,
rec and dried fruit. The American
Red Cross is forwarding to Berne

as cheese, evaporated milk, Goldfish,
and mixed biscuit. Timed goods can

TAKING CARE OF

Red Gross Has Arranged With the
German Government For Shipment
of Food Parcels to
Prisoners.
WILL GET RECEIPTS
This System Insures Knowledge That
Men for Whom Parcels Were
Intended, Get
Thorn.

The American Red Cross has per
fected plans to care for Americans
who may be captured and held in Ger
man prison camps. A prisoners re-
lief committee has been organized at
Berne, Switzerland, under the super
vision of Ellis l.. Dressed of the
American legation. Mr.. Dressed serv-
ed from the outbreak of the war in
1914 up to our breaking off diplomatic
relations as an attache Of the Ameri-
can EN- bassy at Berlin, where his
duties included relief work for men
Of the entente nationalities in Ger
man prison camps.
Today only about one hundred
American prisoners are held in Ger
many. Most of these are civilians
taken off American merchantmen that
have been sunk by Teuton submarines.
More recent arrivals in the prison
camps had served as gun crews, since
the arming of our merchant ships.
Speedy provision for their relief
and for those who may be taken pris-
oner is necessitated by the German
policy of giving their prisoners of war
food totally inadequate to keep men
in good health. The extremely high
death rate among Russian, Serbian
and Rumanian prisoners In Germany
and Austria $50 per cent In the case
due to the inability of Russia and the
Balkan states to organize the ration
ing of prisoners of their nationalit1es
from their home countries.
A recent cable dispatch from Paris
tells Of French soldier just back
from a German prison camp and in
the last stage Of tuberculosis. This
soldier was one of a battalion Of
thousand young and healthy men cap
tured in body, early in the war.
More than fifty per cent of the num-
Der are now dead, or have been re-
turned to France, via Switzerland, as
Iincurables.
Malnutrition Is Cause.
Malnutrition, no less than unsani.
tary conditions, produces these re-
suits. British, Canadian and Austrian
prisoners of war in Germany now de-
pend exclusively upon food shipped to
them from London, and generally give
the prison camp ration to prisoners of
other countries, who are, as a rule,
less well provided. Bread is already
being dispatched from Berne to the
Americans in Germany, and arrange
ments have also been made for trans
hitting letters and money from their
families and friends in this country.
Thus far only bread has been sup
piled by the Berne committee Of the
American Red Cross. Assorted food
parcels and clothing will also be for
warded soon In the meantime the
central prisoners of war committee of
London is acting on behalf of Ameri-
can prisoners in Germany, sending
them such foods as the committee
regularly dispatches to British and
colonial prisoners.
