Seek Disease-Free Alfalfa Strains.

The "yellowing" of alfalfa, disease
which has become common in many To-

is proving q serious menace to this val
liable crop, is being studied by special
lists of the United States department Of
agriculture with view of developing
strains that are resistant TO the disease.
Seed of alfalfa hybrids which have shown
resistant qualities has been sown in the
West with view of increasing the
stocks to the point where field tests can
be made.

Americans Northwest of Verdun Are
Steadily Advancing.

Associated Pressl.-- Q p .m.--American
forces struck the German lines east OF

The ridge Of Dame Marie was storrned
after hard fighting. More than 1000
prisoners were taken during the day
These included one colonel and two bat

Fighting opened this morning with the
infantry sweeping through the northern
portion Of the Argonne forest for max
imum distance of nearly five miles. Lit
tie opposition was encountered.
As the Americans advanced they
found that the Germans had blocked
and destroyed the roads. At O'Clock
this afternoon they were in Marco and
Chevieres, having taken the La Folie
farm and the Richard farm and advanc-
ing on the Negremont woods, the only
piece Of forest land between them and
Grand Pre-.
Half an hour later they had captured
sommerance and had advanced north of
that village. BY this attack the Amer

territory north of the broken Kriemhild
hne.
Although there were detachments Of

BIG EATERS GET
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take a Glass of Salts Before Breakfast
if Your Back Hurts or Bladder
Bothers You.

The American men and women must
guard constantly against kidney trouble,
because we eat too much and all our food
Is rich Our blood is filed with uric acid
which the kidneys strive to filter out,
they weaken from overwork, become
sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and
the result is kidney trouble, bladder
weakness and 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 or dizzy, nervous spells, acid
stomach, or you have rheumatism when
the weather is bad, get from your phar-
macist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for few days, and
your kidneys viii then act fine. This ia
nous 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 source of irritation, thus
ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot injure,
makes a delightful, efferveseent, lithia
water beverage, and belongs in every
home, because nobody can make a mis-
take by having a good kidney flushing
any time.--Adv,
