BIG EATERS GET
KIDNEY TROUBLE
TAKE SALTS AT FIRST SIGN OF
BLADDER IRRITATION OR
BACKACHE.

The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trou-
BILE, because we eat too much and all
our food is rich. Our blood is filled
with uric acid which the kidneys strive
to filter out, they weaken from over
work, become sluggish the elimina-
tive tissues clog and the result is
kidney trouble, bladder weakness and
a general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like Jumps
of lead; your back hurts or the urine
is cloudy, full of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night; if you suffer
with sick headache OF dizzy, nervous
spells, acid stomach, CT you have rheu-
matism when the weather is bad, get
from your pharmacist about four
ounces of Jad Salts; take a table
spoonful in a glass Of water before
breakfast for a few days and your kid
neys 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 clogged kidneys;
to neutralize the acids in the urine
so it no longer is a source of irrita-
ton, thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in

lithia-water beverage and belongs in
every home, because nobody can make
a mistake by having good kidney
flushing any time.

SECURE HOME GROWN
SEED OATS QUICKLY

Owing to the fact that the major
portion of the oat crop was winter
killed this year and that the supply
of seed is very short, farmers are
urged by Mr.. Childs of the United
States Department of Agriculture and
the State College of Agriculture to Sc
cure home grown seed oats as soon as
possible from those counties in south
Georgia, where fair yields were OBJ
tanned. Most of the seedsmen and a
number of individual farmers have
limited supply on hand at present, and
their seed for fall planting as soon as
possible, inasmuch as the supply of
native grown seed is limited
Many inquiries have been received
as to the use of Texas and Oklahoma
grown Red Rustproof oats for seeding
in Georgia. These oats will not do so
well as our native seed, even though
they can be purchased cheaper. Most
of the oats in that section of the coun
try are grown for spring seeding

early fall. If home grown seed can
not be obtained, the Texas crop is the
next best source, but when seed are
secured from that section the buyer
should satisfy himself that pure win
ter grown Rustproof seed are secured
and that they are free from such OBJ
noxious seeds as Johnson grass.
According to reports from Texas
and Oklahoma the corn crop of those
sections is practically failure, due
to recent drought, and it is likely that
a large part of the oat crop will be
fed unless purchased soon for seed

PRODUCERS OF STEEL
IN OPEN OPPOSITION
Refuse Order from War Department
at Lower Price.

Washington, Aug. 10.-The govern
ment's war purchasing program was
gone over in detail by the new War
Industries Beard. It calls for an elimi
nation of excessive profits on war
materials sold to the American and
the allied governments and contem-
plates protection for the American
people against extortionatc charges.
One subject given special consider
alton today was that OF compelling
American producers to sell war sup
plies to the allies at the same price
charged the American governments.
Protests against this policy, it was
said today, are SC general that the
government, if necessary, will seek
legislation to accomplish it.
Reports today that steel producers
had declined to supply the War De-
partment with an order of rails for
France because OF the low price offer
ed indicated that open opposition to
the announced policy is appearing.
Officials are divided in their opin
ions as to whether the government can
enforce the plan respecting allied pur
chases without the support of addi
tional legislation.
The hope of the war board, which
reflects the attitude of the admins
tration, is that industry will be
Brought over through negotiations and.
that no new laws will be required.
This applies also to the administra-
tons expressed intent of seeing that
the government also obtained it's
goods at reasonable prices. Under the
food bill just passed by Congress the
government has entire power over the
production and distribution of food,
feeds and fuel and is not worried about
it's ability to deal with these products

SEVERAL KILLED BY SHELL

MES Of infantry and cavalry compos-

Fort Mcpherson, are now engaged in

the government has not yet supplied
these student officers with field pieces
they are using the guns belonging tc

The squad in charge of the gun was
located on the north side of the noun

dress OF series Mr.. Taft will deliv-
er on behalf Of the big loan In various
cities OF the country.
Turning to Senator La Follette's
stand regarding German unrestricted
Submarine warfare. Mr.. Taft said:
The Senator says that while our
citizens had the right TO 90 upon COM
merciai vessels carrying supplies to
the allies. 1t was only technical
right, and one that We might well
waive rather than go TO war. Was the
right of those innocent ia American

and the lasting injury TO our national
influence of yielding the rights of our
citizens or of withholding protection

power"
In describing the blood and iron
policy of the Hohenzollerns Mr.. Taft
said:
Not until the German military
caste is defeated. not until the en-
peror, at the head OF that caste IS
brought to his knees, will the imperis
German people be made aware Of the
hideous error In their policy. When
after the great sacrifice they have
made. the dreadful losses In life. the

that they have not conquered the
