# 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 we'll known authority. Meat
forms uric acid, which clogs the kid
rey 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, con-
stipation, dizziness, sleeplessness,
bladder disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts, or
ii the urine is cloudy, offensive, full
of sediment, irregular of passage or
attended by sensation of scaldlng,
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any reliable pharmacy and take
a tablespoonful in 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 lithit, and has been used for
generations to flush clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to activity, also
to neutralize the acids in urine so il
no longer causes irritation, thus end
ing bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injufe; 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.

Buying Liberty Bonds Is
Not IN Act of Charity

When you buy United States Lib
erty War Bonds you are not giving
away anything Your act Of purchas-
ing is not an act Of charity. What
ever money you have you possess be-
cause you have lived and worked in
the glorious United States. Today the
United States needs ready money to
help WIN the war, to provide food,
clothing and transportation for our
soldier boys. So our government says
to you: Loan us $50 or $100, or what
ever amount you like, and We will pay
you 31a per cent annual interest (pay-
ments every June IS and Dec. 15), and
in addition to that we will pay you
back the entire amount you lent us.
Also, if the interest rate on our bonds
goes up, we will advance your interest
to the highest rate"
That's a fair, square proposition
You can't lose The United States
helped you get what you have, and 1t
Is both patriotism and good business
on your part to loan the government
some of your money now. Order
United States Liberty Bonds from
your banker or your broker. Do it
today.

situation and stopped the sale Of

Sinking A Plain Duty.

In appealing to the states to
aid the War Department to
maintain clean camps, Sec.
Baker says: I'VE are not going
to be able to obtain the condi-
tions necessary without the full
cooperation of local authorities
Will you give earnest considera-
ton to this matter in your par
ticular state?'
Doubtless the wet states will
attempt to do this and right
willingly. But why ask indivi-
dual states TO do what the Gov
ernment at Washington ought
to do to protecG its troops in
wartime and can ins tantly
enforce and compel? No state
or group of states has such
sweeping power, nor is so dread
ed by the criminals as the long
arm of Uncle Sam and his uner-
ring secret service.

Money makes the war go.
Have you bought your
bond?
Don't Be Afraid of Bends;
They're Like Gold Coin

Don't get scared when anybody says
bonds" One reason why most peo-
pie know very little about bonds Is
that usually they cost around $1,000
each, and you and l don't buy $1,000
things every day. But our United
States Is now issuing United States
Liberty Bonds that cost as low as $50.
and it's high time now to learn that
bond is the safest investment on earth.
On the United States Liberty Bond
you get 91h per cent interest, payable
every June Is and Dec. Is, and also
you get your entire principal back.
United States Liberty Bonds are Ger.
tain to become as numerous in the
United States as gold pieces. They
will have wide and ready sale. Any
time you need money, yos can take
your bond to the bank and get 1t.
There isn't a real estate dealer any.
where, or an automobile maker, or a
grocer who wouldn't be just as glad to
take United States Liberty Bond q
he would to receive gold coin.
If you haven't already ordered yout
United States Liberty Bonds, see your
banker or your broker today.

United States.
For the first time since the
formation of the United Confed

Probably for the first time in

iect of Discussion in
Your Home
Sixth Federal Bank District Has High
Hopes Ua SslIing United States
Liberty Bonds

President Wilson, the cabinet and
congress are keenly awaiting news OF
the subscription for Liberty bonds,
which the government has issued to
help in the war.
The sale has been arranged through
the Federal Reserve Banks and ac-
cording to their districts. Our dis
trict, the sixth, includes Georgia, Flor
ida, Alabama and approximately half
of Tennessee, Mississippi and Louisl-
ana. Few sections Of the United
States have such varied resources.
From the orange groves of Florida TO
the steel mills of Alabama, and from
the cotton fields Of Georgia to the
rice plantations of Louisiana and the
stock raising section of Tennessee al
most every kind of crop and manu-
featuring in1Astry can be found. 1t
will be strange deed if the people Of
this prosperous section are not
among the largest purchasers of Lib
erty bonds.
The government will be very great
ly disappointed unless this great sec
ton ranks at least third in the volume
of its purchases of Liberty bonds.
Bankers of Atlanta, Birmingham, New
Orleans, Macon, Chattanooga and
Jacksonville as we'll as in every small
town in the district, agree that when
the total figures are announced that
the Sixth District will be found to
have done its full part.
But every man, woman and child
must participate. Bonds sell as low
as $50 and as high as $4,000,
Make the war loan the chief subject
of discussion in your home. Make sure
that each member of your family
sees his or her duty and opportunity
clearly.
Make up your mind today. Don't
let it be said that you withheld your
help in time of your country's needs.
