IF BACK HURTS
 BEGIN ON SALTS
Flush Your Kidneys Occasionally if
 You Eat Meat Regularly.

No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which clogs the kid ney pores so they sluggishly filter or strain only part of the waste and poisons from the blood, then you get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, head aches, liver trouble, nervousness, constipation, dizziness, sleeplessness, bladder disorders come from slug gish kidneys.
 The moment you feel dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts, or if the urine is cloudy, offensive. full of sediment, irregular of passage or attended by a sensation of scalding, get about four ounces of lad Salts from any reliable pharmacy and 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, combined with lithia and has been used for generation to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to activity, also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus end ing bladder disorders.
 lad Salts is inexpensive and can- not injure; makes a delightful effer- vescent lithia-water drink which all regular meat eaters should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and the blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney complications-Advt.

CURB MARKET
 MOST POPULAR ANOTHER DAY ADDED TO THE TIME DURING WHICH IT IS
 OPEN TO CUSTOMERS.

The curb market at the Arcade has become so popular with producer and consumer that one more day was add ed, and hereafter it will be open on Tuesday as well as on Friday and Saturday, beginning at o'clock.
 Mesdames w. T. Roberts, A. J. Will son, V. G. Hinton and B. Metzenaur, the committee from the City Fedora tion of Clubs, in charge of the mar ket, donate their services.
 Increasingly large supplies of gar den produce, bread, butter, eggs and poultry are brought to the market and sold at prices lower than those prevailing elsewhere.
 The prices of radishes and mustard and turnip greens have been reduced 50 per cent within the past week as a result of the appearance of produce from nearby truck farms. Grocers who formerly asked 30 and 40 cents a peck for greens now are selling them at 15 cents.
 Housewives are asked five cents a bunch for radishes, and some grocers sell three punches for a dime. A bunch contains about one dozen rad ishes. The truck farmers charge the grocers 25 cents for one dozen punches, while radishes shipped to Little Rock cost the grocers only 20 cents for the dozen. The retailers say that they make no profit on rad ishes. as many punches spoil and have to be thrown away
 There has been as many as 300 GUS toners at the market during the morning.

FARMERS RAISE
 FOOD PRODUCTS
coNoWAY SCOTT, OF scoTTs, SAYS BUSINESS MEN ARE NOT
 DOING THEIR PART.

Reports from all sections of the country are that the campaign for food preparedness is making great prog, ress. More food crops are being plant ed than ever before, and the various communities are vieing with each other in the results.
 A party representing the Profitable Farming Bureau attended Tri-State Better Farming Committee meeting at Starlxville, Miss. Included in the par ty were c. 0. Carpenter and E. T. Tobey, manager of the Real Estate Department of the Mercantile Trust Company, and the following planters from Scott's: Conoway Scott, A. L. Alexander, D. P. Slaughter and Tom Steele.
 "We found that Arkansas is in much better shape for the food prepared ness campaign than are Mississippi or Tennessee" said C. o. Carpenter, az ricultural commissioner of the bureau. "The campaign in this state is better organized, the farmers are planting more foodstuffs and labor conditions are much better"
 "The farmer is so often criticised for his lack of good business methods that I think it is only justice to say that I believe that Little Rock busi- ness men are guilty of the same thing in the present campaign" said Conc way Scott of Scotts "There is little group of business men in Little Rock who always are willing to do more than their share in any movement to help the farmer. But the great major ity of them are indifferent and tho farmers are beginning to resent this indifference-at least this is true of the Scott community.
 ''I volunteered to help in the Pulas- Ri county campaign because 1 believed it to be patriotic duty I had been greatly impressed by the speech of Carl Vrooman in Little Rock and the appeal of President Wilson. I had supposed that most of the Little Rock business men would feel the same way. To my surprise I found that when it came to making the tour of Pulaski county this week, the ladies were responding in large numbers, but there were not men enough even to drive the automobiles that were of fered."

YOUNG MEN HEED
 UNCLE SAM'S GALL
EMPLoYEs OF DRY GOODS HOUSES SEEK SERVICE IN RE SERVE AND AVIATION CORPS
 OF THE ARMY.

Three of Little Rocks most promi- with the two wholesale dry goods houses of the city, have offered their services to Uncle Sam for the period of the war. One has passed his exam ination and is waiting the order to proceed to training camp and the others will soon submit to an exami- nation at Fort Logan y Roots.
 Granville Burrow, Of the Beal-Bur- row Dry Goods Company, has recent ly been to Memphis, where he was work. He has offered as a volunteer in this corps for the period of the war. His examination was complete and satisfactorily passed. MT. Bur row then returned to Little Rock and passed further examination. He is now awaiting the call to service, and will soon be one of Uncle Sam's flying men, as a few months training makes very capable air scouts.
 Robert Doyle of the Doyle-Kidd Dry ooooo SoiiPdhJ, d1iN itoDCib i1ttAA OA the Beal-Burrow Dry Goods Company, have made application for appoint ments in the Reserve Corps Conmi5- sary Department. This department is filled from wholesale establishments & particularly groceries and dry goods houses. Each of these young men have had several years experience in the dry goods business, both have splendid college educations, and have taken prominent part in college athletics, which is a requirement. for those who enter this corps.
 The young men will be examined with a lot of others at Fort Logan H. Roots and expect orders to report at that place on May to participate in the training of the officers for the Re- serve Army Corps.
 Syd Y. West, of CrumpBritton & West, who last year headed a party to the Plattsburg camp, has been des- ignated as recruiting officer, and is urging many Little Rock society men to enlist in the service.

MONEY TO REMAIN
 WITHIN REACH
B. p. KIDD GIVES ENCOURAGING INFORMATION TO THOSE WHO FEAR TIGHTENING OF FL
 NANCES BY BANKERS.

Quieting assurances are given to financial panic, by B. P. Kidd, secre- tary of the Doyle-Kidd Dry Goods Company, who is a director and off cial in several Little Rock banking concerns. He says that the merchant has nothing to worry about, and ridi- cules the idea of a panic.
 Prices are high, and going higher, and I see nothing to cause the impress sion that there will be a break in trade conditions" says MT. Kidd, "and I expect to see the demand remain good throughout the entire year. We have done better business this year than ever before, and am confident that it will continue as it has started. I am so confident of it, and so are my associates, that we have bought for the biggest business in our history.
 Money conditions are going to change slightly, but they will not af- feet the little fellow. The $5,0O0,O00. 900 bond issue by the government is going to take up whole lot of money that is idle at present. This is going to boost the rate of interest to the man who goes out after $100,000 or more at time This man has been getting all the money he wants at and 4 1-2 per cent. He has to have It cheap to do business. I look for him to have to pay about one per cent more, and that will be quite an item to him. It is the big manufacturer that gets money this way, and 1t may have some effect upon the supply, put it will not have upon business condi- tions in this section.
 "The average business man of this section borrows, but not in such quan' titles. The rate of interest charged him is somewhat higher. Money has not brought less than [ per cent in this vicinity, in amounts such as have been borrowed by the average retailer. This rate will hardly be any higher II IS usual to charge about 8 per cent, and I expect to see about as much money to be loaned at this figure, as at pres ent.''
 The financial question is about the only thing that could throw scare ln- to the Arkansas retailer, and MT. Kidd has made quite a study Of finances Ill Arkansas, as we'll as the East, and as surance from him is indeed good news to the business men of this state.
