In the last few days the number aud quality of the applicants has improved, but there Is still great deal of room for good men. Lieutenant Wallis hoped to have at least 1000 men that could be classed as first class. from which to pick his 36s. but the total number which has applied has only been about 500. Birmingham has been compara- lively liberal In her response and has furnished almost as many as the rest of the state combined.

RACE TRACK" ABANDONED
 FOR COMMUNITY SINGING
-T WlIIlIIlILIS T

Then the stranger departed and now he has returned.
 But the thronging thousands that of the wonderful ways. he says, are not present. And then the stranger queried as to the whyfor of the dis appearance.
 And then he learned that just after o'clock the stream comes not from the track but down Twentieth, from Capitol park
 And now they all agree that the community singing is the diversion and that it was Capitol park that took the patrons from the "old track" For it is there that every Sunday afternoon Director Robert Lawrence leads the singing that is taken part in by near Iy 5000 people-people some of whom formerly fell in with the throngs and rounded the old way, but now prefer the singing. the band music and tie lowering of the flag to the corners, where they may idly watch the pass ing shaw and fall in line to make tue track"
 Thus, the stranger observed, the great white way on Sunday summer afternoons at about 6:30 o'clock is a beautiful sight in the Magic City, flow l. ing out of Capitol park all the way down Twentieth.
 And the slogan has changed, he says, from let's do the race track" to Tets go with the crowds to the community singing"

with this false practice. Why should
the great army of unemployed be
made to spend their last pennies in
carfare and their time and energy in
looking for jobs not to be had?
l want to remind the Socialist al
dermen that they represent the
working peoples interests. Mayor
Thompson, after he was elected, told
a reporter that he would establish
employment offices or bureaus in the
police stations. Two years have
passed without its accomplishment.

Jne important enactmentS OF the new
city council should be a law to stop
fake advertisements in the Chicago
newspapers. Heavy fines should be
levied on those firms caught attempt
ing to place such ads. 1t is a mean
trick for them to advertise their
business at the expense Of others.
No such measure as l here recon-
mend was discussed even by our So
cialist aldermen. Why do not Alder
men Rodriguez and Kennedy, the
only aldermen that the working peO-
pie have much confidence in, bring
this matter before the council?
Thousands of people are unem-
plOyed at present; thousands more
are starving; still nobody seems to
care for them. Many great manu-
featuring concerns who are using
several hundreds of thousands of
employees seldom take on more. All
they do is to advertise in downtown
newspapers for help, and when they
do hire one out Of a hundred they ask
him to work for the smallest possible
amount, since they have the advan-
tage over him, on account of his
great need of a job. Many concerns
which constantly advertise for help
tell the applicants that the jobs are
filled or that: I'VE did not advertise;
it is a mistake of the editor"
Is it not possible for the city coun-
Gil or the state legislature to pass a
law prohibiting business concerns
from advertising their business false
ly? These are some of the concerns
who are doing this: Sears, Roebuck
& Co., Western Electric Co. and
many Of the department stores.
They simply mean to show the city
that they are busy, as they demand
so many employees. Other firms also
wish to show that they are busy. The
unfortunate emplOye is the victim.
Now it is time that one of the three
Socialist aldermen should prepare

Camp Dodge, Des Moines, Iowa,
Oct. 1.-THE first Americans in the
drafted army are already on the way
to generals stars.
They are becoming corporals and
sergeants in the new national
army.
That's what I found today at
Camp Dodge, training cantonment
for more than $4,000 soldiers.
Young fellows who came into
camp with the first 5 per cent quota
on Sept are, many of them, nom
commissioned officers now. They are
helping to train their comrades.
The real heavy work of training
is being borne so far, however, by
$50 sergeants from the regular
army.
Were a little bit hampered in
our work. one of these regular
army sergeants told me. The general
won't let us cuss at the selected men
as we used to cuss at volunteers. But
the boys, most of them, are willing
to learn.
Il can pick out a good man the
first time l see him at mess. If he
starts bayonet exercise with his
table knife, know he's going to need
lot of working over. And l give it
to him, too"
At Fort Dodge, as at other camps,
officers told me they have been
pleasantly surprised by the cheerful
and willing spirit of the selected men.

tween two soldiers which well il

other.

into the kitchen.

was received gladly and his less

QUIT MEAT WHEN
BACK HURTS OR
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Says Uric Acid in meat clogs Kidney
and irritates Bladder.
A Glass of Salts is harmless way
to flush Kidneys, says
authority.

If you must have your meat every
day, eat it, but flush your kidneys
with salts occasionally, says a noted
authority who tells us that meat forms
uric acid which almost paralyzes the
kidneys in their efforts to expel it
from the blood. They become slug
glsh and. weaken, then you suffer
with dull misery in the kidney re-
glon, sharp pains in the back or sick
headache, dizziness, your stomach
sours, tongue is coated and when
the weather is bad you have rheumat-
lc twinges. The urine gets cloudy,
full of sediment, the channels often
get sore and irritated, obliging YOU to
seek relief two or three times during
the night
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the body's urinous waste get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for a
few dys 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
and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also
to neutralize the acids in urine, so it
no longer irritates, thus ending blad-
der weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure, and makes a delightful efferves-
cent lithia-water drink.-Adv.
