MEAT CAUSE Or

Take Salts to Flush Kidneys ii Back
Hurts or Bladder
BOihers.

IF you must have your meat every
day, eat it, but flush your kidneys
with salts occasionally, says noted
authority who tells us that meat
forms uric acid, which almost para
lyzea the kidneys in their efforts to
eyrel it from the blood. They be-
come sluggish and weaken, then You
suffer with dull misery in the kid
ney region, sharp pains in the back
or sick headache, dizziness, youi
stomach sours, tongue is coated and
when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine gets
cloudy, full Of sediment, the channels
often get sore and irritated, ob1igvng
you to seek relief two or tfrec times
during the night.
TO neutralze these irritating acids,
ITO cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the body's urinous waste, get -four
ounces Of .Iad Salts from any phar-
macy here; take a tablespoonful II
a glass Of water before breakfast for
{. few days and you kidneys will ther
sct fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid Of grapes and lemof
luice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush
and stimulate sluggish kidneys, alsc
to neutraIize the acids in urine, so il
no longer rritates, thus ending blad-
der weakness.
Jad Salts is Inexpensive; cannot in
jure, and makes delightful effer-
vescent lithia water drink. 6

GIVES SAFETY FIRST" IDEA
country's Homes From Pos
sibie Accident.

The safety Of the home Is the SUBJ
ject of a pamphlet issued by the bu-
reau of standards, Department of Com
merce, entitled safety for the House
hold, Bureau of Standards, Circular
No. 10" An interesting account of
household hazards is given. The top
les are discussed clearly in a manner
which would afford basis for popular
education in safety first" The dam
gers from electricity, gas, fire, light
ming, household chemicals and the 9TH
er common causes Of accident are re-
cited and many actual cases are de.
scribed. The purpose is to aid in re-
moving needless risk and fear, and to
develop intelligent caution where the
hazard cannot be entirely avoided.
The hazards Of the home have In
creased in modern times, from the serv-
fee of gas and electricity and>the use
OF such dangerous articles as matches,
volatile oils, poisons and the like. The
use Of energy in the home necessarily
planning and care will reduce to a min
imum.
Caution alone Is not enough, since
many of the dangers are not even sus-
pected. The nature Of such unknown
hazards must be made plain. The cir
cular emphasizes the seriousness of
some Of the risks not generally known,
gives simple cautions and aims to guide
the formation of habits Of carefulness.
The circular also suggests effective
home equipment to minimize the risks
involved and aims to encourage pub
lie measures to provide safety for the
household and community.
It Is intended, not to increase fear
OF accident, but rather to remove the
causes and the need for alarm. The
sense of safety to be gained by observ
ing these cautions would alone justify
the careful study of this new circular.
This circular completes the series of
three popular household circulars
which deal with measurements, mate
rails and safety. These form valu-
able addition by the bureau Of stand
ards to the literature on household
management.
The appalling loss of life from avoid
able causes and injury to person and
property make the pamphlet especially
timely. 1t is believed that thousands
Of human lives could be saved and acct
dents reduced to the minimum If the
precautions suggested are followed.
Copies OF this circular can be purchas-
cd ut aF 20

uments, government printing Office,

Many Trench Diseases.

The unparalleled conditions Of mod
ern warfare are found by DIR. ]. Il.
Lind to have brought to the military
surgeons two new types of cases. One
of these is shell shock, apparently due
to the emotional strain upon the nerv-
Gus system; and the other is a surpris-
ingly large number of ailments arising
from the peculiar environment of the
trenches. A relapsing fever, a tran
silent nephritis, and frostbite of the
feet are the three chief disorders re-
sulting from trench life. There are al
so trench enteritis, trench skin, trench
diarrhoea, trench rheumatism, trench
back, and trench jaundice. but these
may be symptoms of or connected in
some way with the three principal dis
eases.

Probably not one Of them had ever
been out Of the hills before this trip
to the camp. One young fellow was
standing on slight elevation where
an excellent view Of the camp could
be obtained. His mouth and eyes were
wide open and his whole expression
was one Of establishment and wonder.
A sergeant approached and said,
"Well, how's it look?"
Gee, this is big place." answered
the new addition to the army.
"Oh, If you think this is big wait
till you get to France" said the ser
geant.
