MEAT INJURIOUS
TO The kidneys
Take a Tablespoonful of Salts if Back
Hurts, or Bladder BOthers-Meat
Forms Uric Acid.

We are nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filed with uric acid, says
a well-known authority, who warns Us
to be constantly ON guard against kid
ney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork; they
get sluggish; the eliminative tissues
clog, and thus the waste is retained in
the body to poison the whole system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps of lead, and you have sting
ing pains in the back, or the urine Is
cloudy, full of sediment, or the blad-
der is irritable, obliging you to seek
relief during the night; when you have
severe headaches, nervous and dizzy
spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or
rheumatism in bad weather, get from
your pharmacist about four ounces Of
Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast each
morning, and in few days your kid
neys 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 neu-
tralize the acide in urine so it is no
longer a source of irritation, thus end
ing urinary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot

cent lithia-water drink, and nobody can
make a mistake by taking a little oc-

him that he cannot contain himself,
and may make break to climb the
fence.
Aside from the interference he will
encounter from a machine gun COM
pany on one side of the barricade and
a company of infantry on the other
side, he will find the fence itself al
extremely difficult thing to climb. Fe
will find that he would be lucky to get
over it if he were a squirrel. and a
flying squirrel at that.
For the fence is thirteen feet high,
and has double sloping roof of barb
ed wire, and along each slope of the
roof run several strands of wire, maxi
ing it what they call "climb-proof
fence in the parlance of internment
camps.

"BONE DRY" PROHIBITION
NOT FOR FRANCE AT PRESENT

| PARIS, March 2S.-"France will not
see prohibition of alcohol for years. y
This brief explanation of one of the
most agitated internal subjects III
J France, just now was made to the
Associated Press today by Jean Finot,
noted French writer, author and presi-
dent of the French society for action
against alcohol.
NJ Finot predicts long and bitter
! fight before France is placed on the
footing of prohibition. Widely circu-
lated reports that French legislative
bodies would soon enact dry France
were denied by NJ. Finot.
Prohibition in France does not
mean, as the word in America means,
an absolutely Cry France. 1t means
the elimination of brandy, whiskey AMI
other spirituous liquors, which do SO
much damage to the people of any
country. The proverbialy French light
wines will always remain.
THE fight against alcohol which the
prohibition forces of France are
making has the most bitter opposition,
When it is considered that over four
million people have their interests
connected with the production, distri-
button and sale of liquor this is not
surprising.
But France will eliminate liquor IN
time, probablye in about three years,
Just as many American states have
done. The movement already has
great and growing support and IS
backed morally by some of Frances
greatest men,"
M. Finot's latest book, entitled THE
Enemy of the Interior" quotes various
authorities to demonstrate that French
wounded during the present struggle,
who were habitual users Of alcohol.
have shown a remarkable tendency to
succumb to wounds which would not
prove fatal to non-alcoholics."
Prohibition will be one of the great
est after the war questions in France.
1t is expected to precipitate more leg
islative and popular interest any any
subject has done for years.

THE ALCAZAR

Beautiful Pauline Frederick is the
star of the Famous Players-Paramount
production, THE Slave Market" by
Frederic Arnold Hummer, which is the
featured attraction at the Alcazar for
Thursday. In this romantic story,
Miss Frederick is a Spanish beauty
who falls into the hands of pirates
and is finally offered for sale on the
slave block.
Director Hugh Ford took his COM
pany to Cuba in order to obtain the
best possible Spanish atmosphere. AS
some of the scenes transpire in the
West Indies, the sending of the play

thought. Some of the most thrillingly
il teresting incidents in the story trans
pire on shipboard when the pirates at

There are hand-to-hand encounters On
