IuRic ACID IN MEAT
 CLOGS THE KIDNEYS
Take . glass of Salts f your Back s hurts or Bladder bothsrs you
 Drink more water.

sIf you must have your meat every day. eat 1t, but flush your kidneys with
 salts occasionally, says noted au- thority who tells us that meat forms
 uric. acid which almost paralyzes the kidneys in their efforts to expel 1t
 from the blood They become slug Efsh and weaken, then you sufner with a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick head ache, dizziness, your stomach soirs, tongue is coated, and when the
 weafher is bad you have rheumatic .twinges. The urine gets cloudy. full
 Of ssedirnert, the channels often get sore and irritated, obliging you to seek relief two or three times. during the
 night.
 To neutraIize these irritating acids, to cleanse the kidneys and flush off the .bodyss urinous waste, get four ounces Of Jad Salts from any piiarm- acy here: 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 lefnou juice; combined with Iithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys. also tc neutralize the acids in urine.: so 1t no longer irritates, thus ending bladder weakness.
 lad Salts is inexpensive: cannot in- | jure, and makes delightful effer- vescent lithia-water drink.

RABBI ROSENBERG RECEIVES
 NOTICE FROM COMMITTEE
Food Clothing and Fuel Greatly Need
 ed in Russia.

Rabbi Joseph Rosenberg. treasurer of the local Jewish War Relief com 1 mittee, has received the following com
 munication from headquarters:
 A telegram signed by Baron Alex ander Gunzberg, cfrairnan. Jewish Re lief committee dated Petrograd. Janu- ary 16. just received reads as follows: Our central committee now extends relief to 23S, 600 people forming 5000
 families of which 3S per cent are
 either deprived of the fathers. or the family heads. Thirty seven per cent are children below fourteen years and
 15 per cent. aged and sick, making 52 per cent. who are unemployed. Thanks to organization of iabour assistance. a third part of refugees gradually ceases to require support However, more s1an half still need serious re-
 lief for food, housing. clothing and fuel Government aids Jewish refu- gees through our committee, but this aid is very limited. Aiming at grad ual reduction, government allows eight roubIes monthly for food, housing and fuel for 105,000. Owing to unprece- dented dearness this help is utterly in sufficient and has to be completed out of philanthropic resources. For up keep of children below school ge and of school children in day nurseries and schools, the government grants 75,e00 roubles monthly; for clothing and footwear 50, 900 roubles; for medical help 25,00o roubles Altogether Is expended by our committee include one million roubIes for occupied Gal icia. one and a half millions additional relief for clothing, linens and boots in Russia, 100000 roubles for fuel, which is very expensive and goes in great quantities owing to winter time, and 750,000 roubles for small loans. Con- tinued mobilization and the necessity of keeping up soldiers families, alb-t sorbs considerable means of local Jewish communities, so that no large philanthrAoic contributions for refu- gees can be expected from Russian Jewes. The nearest future budget for food, housing, fuel, schools, labour and assistance to refugees is estimated at 1,soo, 900 roubles monthly. For relief in occupied Galicia.- 150, 600 roubles and 200, 900 roubles for relief of population in war area, where no committees work and no government penetrates- AL together, 2,150,00o roubles are required monthly, to defray which we may count upon, one million roubles from government and 250.0 roubles from local philanthropic resources, thus S00.00 roubles monthly are wanting Besides sums specially designated, we have 150.000 roubles in cash in hand and SO0.0 900 with JCA. This money is gradually being used up and a reficit is unavoidable. We therefore urgent ly pray to send us the money wanting for the next four or at least three months.

USE BOYS HERE!
Col. Mitchell Would Drill the
Youngsters in Garden Tactics.
State Journal Writer Outlines
Work for College.
BY COL r.. w. MITCHELL.

President Wilson. and the governors
collaborating, issued a proclamation
calling for volunteers to aid in more
food production.
The patriotic boys and girls respond
ed Immediately and were enrolled by
local organizations, who immediately
got in communication with the labor
bureaus of their respective states,
who tipped it off to the farmers and
gardeners, I'VE are now ready to fur
nish you with necessary help any time
needed" but these agencies were in
formed, that at this time, this en-
thusiastic army of food producers
could not be used
This initiatory step was wise, essen
tial' and patriotic in every detail up
to date, but not finished.
Why call upon the farmers and
gardeners to use this army of food
producers, when the means are at
hand to utilize them ourselves?
What are our agricultural colleges
for? The writer, who has teen a stu
dent along these lines for ever twenty
years, believes that her students, espe-
cia1ly her graduates, should be capable
tof taking a company of these volunteer
food producers and drill them in gar
den tactics, along the lines of plating,
selecting seeds, planting, filling a plot
of ground by each volunteer, direct
in cultivating and marketing the prod
uctS from ten acres or ground In ana
around Topeka, Kansas.
Soil Rich Here.
An editorial of the Topeka State
Journal stated: Topeka is surrounded
by garden land which can not be ex-
celled in the world This statement
| is correct, verified by soil experts. This
/ is sufficient reason why state school
gardens, under proper organization
and discipline should be maintained
wherever environments exist.
The seniors and graduates of our
agricultural college should be as pro-
| ficient along these lines-drilling the
garden volunteers-aS the West Point
er is to drill volunteers for military
service. If not, why not?
The agricultural college or city that
puts this plan into operation at this
time, and gets results, will be placed
on historys brightest page. The real
food producer smiles when he reads
the suggestion from the paper farmer.
The foregoing procedure will raise the
standard of our agricultural colleges.
and at the same time convince those,
who are antagonistic to some of her
instructions, that she is doing worth
while work" and when future appro-
priations are asked for, they can point
with pride to the grand work accom-
plished in times of peril, and get what
they want.
These students are available. The
method and plan were fully discussed
by the writer in the Topeka Daily
State Journal, April 23-
