MEAT CAUSE Of
LAME BACK AND
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take glass of Salts to flush
Kidneys if your back
is aching.
Noted authority says Uric Acid
from meat irritates
the Bladder.

Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their
efforts to filter it from the system.
Regular eaters of meat must flush
the kidneys occasionally. You must
relieve them like you relieve your
bowels; removing all the acids, waste
and poison, else you feel dull mis-
cry in the kidney region, sharp pains
in the back or sick headache, diz3i-
ness, your stomach sours, tongue is
coated and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine is cloudy, full of sediment; the
channels often get irritated, obliging
you to get. up two or three times
during the night.
To neutralize. these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take a table,
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and yotlr
kidneys will then act fine and blad-
der disorders disappear. This ia
nous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for
generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys and stop bladder
irritation. Jad Salts is inexpensive;
harmless and makes a delightful ef-
fervescent lithia-water drink which
millions of men and women take
now and then, thus avoiding serious
kidney and bladder diseases.-Adv

Railroad Shopmen Hear
Reasons For Organization;
J. J. Reynolds Is Speaker

At the first of a series of meetings
for the purpose of organizing rall-
road shopmen, held last night in
Whites Hall, Verbeke and James
streets. j. ]. Reynolds, a national or
ganizer, read from order NO. 3, IS
sued by Director General McAdoo,
to show that the United States gov
eminent is not interfering with
policies outlined by labor organiza-
tons. Clause No. ) reads as follows:
No discrimination will be made
in the employment, retention or con-
ditions of employees because of MEM
bership or memberships in labor or
ganizations."
National Organizer Reynolds urged
the shopmen to organize for their
common good and showed the ad-
vantages of an organization. The
need of one great body of railroad
workers taking in all trades and all
occupations, was pointed out by Mr..
Reynolds. There are at present twen-
ty-seven distinct organizations and
the purpose of the organizers pres
ent last night was to band these
workers under one great head.
Much interest was manifested by
local shopmen last night. In attend
ance were a number from the Read
ing shops, Enola, Lucknow and
other points.
1t is the intention of the men
backing the movement in this city
to hold a series of meetings both in
the afternoon and evening for sew
eral weeks. This plan will enable
men who work both tricks to attend
and if they wish join the organiza-
ton.
1t will be decided later IS tc
whether the shopmen of Harrisburg
Enola, Rutherford and Lucknow will
be banded together in one organiza.
tion or each unit organized sepa'

SICK SOLDIERS
ATTEND SCHOOL
Chief Instructor Is Walter L.
Vanaman, Harrisburg Boy;
Teaches Telegraphy

Matter L. Vanaman, of this city,
former wire chief for the Philadel-
phia and Reading railway in this
city, is now master electrician at the
United States General Hospital, at
Fort McHenry, Md. He is teaching
the sick and wounded how. to help
the nation. The former local wire
chief enlisted for service in France
with the railroad unit in company of
Major M. A. Laucks, of this city,
former Reading trainmaster.
A few days previous to the time
aset for sailing, Mr.. Vanaman was
taken ill with pneumonia and was
sent to his home in this city. On his
recovery he was sent to Camp Upton
where he had a slight relapse and
was sent to Fort McHenry. Until his
complete recovery he will not join
his company now in France. The
Baltimore Sun referring to the new
duties of the master electrician says:
Starts New School
Fort McHenry has a new school.
A group of convalescent soldiers are
studying telegraphy and reports
show they are making progress.
They were not assigned to the study,
but volunteered in the hope that
they Will not be discharged from Ine
army when conditions warrant their
being sent away from the hospital.
They are real patriots, and 5. e.

charge) haunts their dreams as a
nightmare. They do not want to quit
until the war is over or until 1t is
proved that they are no longer able
to serve the government.
Walter L. Vanaman, master sig
nal electrician of the Signal Corps,
recently sent as a patient to the hos
pital, sized up the situation. Upon

convalescents, who are bending every
energy to qualify as telegraphers.
Employees of the Pennsy who are
granted annual vacations are anXi-
