FAT LESS MEAT
 F BACK HURTS \ Take glass of Salts to flush Kidneys if Bladder bothers you Drink
 lots of water

Eating meat regularly eventually pro- duces kidney trouble in some form or other, says a well-known authority, be- cause the uric acid in meat excites the kidneys, they become overworked; get sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of distress, particularly backache and mis- cry in the kidney region; rheumatic twin ges, severe headaches, acid stomach, con stipatiou, torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and urinary irritation.
 The moment your back hurts or kid neys aren't acting right, or if bladder bothers you, get about four ounces of <zJad Salts from any good pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in glass of water \ before breakfast for few days and your kidneys 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 clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity; also to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer irri- tates, thus ending bladder disorders.
 lad Salts cannot injure anyone; makes a delightful effervescent lithia- water drink which millions of men and women take now and then to keep the kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus avoiding serious kidney disease.

There are wire mills and wire goods factories here at home who are a year or two behind with domestic orders merely because the needs of the government come first, and Un- cle Sam is getting their output.

 My Dear Mother: I will write to you, since it has been so long since you heard from me.

 Mrs. Ormby also handed us the following letter from Mrs. E. M. Smith, which was written from Southampton, England, July 15:
 Dear Mrs. Ormsby:
 About fortnight ago we had the pleasure of meeting your son. My husband and I were walking over the large common, where the American camp is now pitched, and feeling sorry for the lonely boys from your country, we introduced our selves to your son and friend of his, and for an hour or two had most enjoyable conversation with them. Unfortunately, though, we were not able to do much more for them than this. We had hoped to have had them into our home and given them

AL Vincent Gillian, who for some
time past has been in charge Of c.
T. Jones soft drink stand on Pine

circumstances that seemed very pc
culiar at first but a physician dag
nosed the case as appoplexy, and the

IN autopsy would be necessary, prov
ed unfOunded. Gillian became vio-
lently i'll at about $50 in the morn
ing. At about 3 in the afternoon he
was taken to the Ladies' Hospital,
where he died an hour later
Relatives Of the dead man, living
at Houston. were notified Of his
death by wire, according to instruc-

PERMANENT CAMP RUMOR UN-
CONFIRMED.

Thus far, although the air at Camp
Cody and in Deming is full Of al
legged inside" information, there is
no official confirmation Of the re-
port that gained general circulation
last week to the effect that the gov
eminent viii shortly begin the ex-
penditure Of two million dollars in
the building of permanent camp
here, Soldiers and citizens alike be-
lieve the report is founded on fact.
Mr.. Hughes Of the firm of Owens &
Hughes, who built the camp last sum
mer, is known to be due here within
a few days on very important bust
ness Of some kind. But officially no.
body knows anything, and it is con-
sidered possible that Mr.. Hughes
himself may not know the object of
his trip till after he gets here. What
ever Uncle Sam has up his sleeve he
is keeping strictly under his hat.
That's mixed metaphor for you to
queens taste, but it exactly de-
scribes the situation.

Germer said that the Socialists
hoped to compel the United States
to take the lead in the movement to
end the war and enforce the dis
armament Of the world. Germer did
not deny that the Socialist party
published and circulated the anti
war literature which the government
characterized as seditious. He read
