CALLS BOYS TO THE COL0Rs
President Wilson Asks All Between
Ages Of Sixteen and Twenty-one
to Join Working Reserve.

Young men of the country between
the ages Of sixteen and twenty-one, not
now employed, are called upon BY
President Wilson to serve the nation
by joining the United States Boys
Working reserve. In a letter made
public by Secretary Wilson Of the la
Dor department, the president says 1t
is the patriotic duty Of these young
men to use their spare time in produc-
tive work and help support the nation
in the present Crisis. The presidents
letter follows:
Permit me to express my great ap-
probation Of the great work underta-
ken by the United States Boys Work
ing reserve of the employment service
Of the department Of labor. To give to
the young men between the ages Of six
teen and twenty-one the privilege Of
spending their spare time In productive
enterprises without interrupting their
studies at school,, while their older
brothers are battling in the trenches
and on the seas, must greatly increase
the means of providing for the torces
at the front and the maintenance Of
thoes whose services are needed here.
It is a high privilege, no less than a
patriotic duty, to help support the ma
ton by devoted and intelligent work in
this great crisis.
'.Let me express the hope that the
young men Of the country not now per-
manently employed may eagerly enter
the Boys Working reserve to ft.them-
selves by training and study for good
citizenship and productive service. In
this way they can show themselves
worthy Of patriotic fathers who have
fought for democracy in the past, sus-
tain their patriotic brothers who are
fighting for it today, and command the
affectionate pride of the brave mothers
who are silently bearing the burdens
at home"

Civilization.

Judge Shockney. of the Randolph
county court. relates story of
friend OF his who for many years sail.
ed on the high seas, and was at one
time shipwrecked and drifted to n
tropical island, says the Indianapolis
News. After landing on the island his
friend began to investigate, and made
his way inland, In search of signs Of
habitatiOn, proceeding cautiously. fear.
ing he would meet cannibals. He wan
dcred around until almost famished,
when suddenly he discovered fire In
the distance. He hid himself until
dark, when he crept near enough to
hear voices. He listened for some
time, but could not make out what
was said. Suddenly the voices grew
louder and an argument arose between
the ineu around the fire. One exclaim-
cd In loud voice: II played the
jack" Another replied In angry tones,
You're a liar" Shockney's friend at
once rushed up to them and cried out:

KEEPS KIDNEYS
ACTIVE With A
GLASS OF SALTS
Must flush your Kidneys
occasionally if you eat
meat regularly.
Noted authority tells what
causes Backachc and
Bladder weakness.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make q mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally, says
a well-known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which clogs the kidney pores
so they sluggishly filter or strain only
part Of the waste and poisons from
the blood, then you get sick. Nearly
all rheumatism, headaches, liver
trouble, nervousness, constipation,
dizziness, sleeplessness, bladder dis
orders come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache In
the kidneys or your back hurts, or IL
the urine Is cloudy, offensive, full Of
sediment, irregular Of passage or at
tended by a sensation Of scalding, get
about four ounces Of Jad Salts from
any reliable pharmacy and take a
tablespoonful In glass OF water be-
fore 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, combined
with lithia, and has been used for
generations to flush clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to activity, also to
neutraliEe the acid In urine so it no
longer causes irritation, thus ending
bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not iniure; makes a delightful effer-
yescent lithia-water drink which all
regular meat eaters should take now
