THE Army alone will require some.
thing like twenty-five thousand nurses
by the first of next January. We
have secured about thirteen thousand
of this number; We need twelve thous.

would be an outcome Incredible and
intolerable to the American people.
"Only graduate nurses who have
been through the full course of train
ing are available for this high service.
These nurses have to be taken out of
the hospitals and from care OF the
sick at home. This means that when
We recruit the full quota for the army
their places in the civil communities
must be filled. Hence, this call for
student nurses to fill the vacancies.

MEAT CAUSE Of
LAME BACK AND
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take a 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 a dull mis-
cry in the kidney region, sharp pains
in the back or sick headache, dizzi-
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 your
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.-Ady.

Enola, Pa, April 9.--During the
drive for the Third Government
Liberty Loan this month every one
of the hundreds of employees of the
local freight yards, enginehouse and
car repair shops will be asked to do
their bit by subscribing to the loan.
Officials of the yards have planned
an intensive canvass during the next
few days. No definite amount is al

thousands of dollars worth are sold
TO the men. Solicitors will be placed
at every point where the men report

every effort will be made to sell a
bond to every man working here.

Old French
Beauty Secret

lille. De Lores. the famous French
actress who recently arrived in this
country and who is now in her Goth
year, has astonished everyone who
has seen her, by her exquisite COM
pleXion and. clear, smooth skin which
is not marred by a single line or
wrinkle.
When asked to explain how she had
retained her marvellous girlish beauty,
she replied that she had always prac-
ticed one of the Oldest of French
beauty secrets: a secret which for
years was jealously guarded by the
court ladies of Napoleon the First.
It consists of laying a warm cloth on
the face each night before retiring
for about one minute and then when
amount of ordinary am-o-nized cocoa
cream should be applied over the en-
tire face and neck, massage il gent
ly into the skin with the finger tips
for about two minutes. then wipe off
the surplus with a soft, dry cloth.
Mile. De Lores says that any Ameri-
can woman who has wrinkles and
large pores or flabby, loose skin, can
easily and quickly overcome these
Gcstroyers of beauty by the use of
this simple yet delightful and natural
BeautifieT, which is inexpensive and
can be found at almost any good
druggists.
The above coming as it does from
such u connoisseur of beauty, should
appeal strongly to every lady who
appreciates what fair face means
10 the gentler sex.

ment to-day. Secretary McAdoo call
ed on the country to furnish 90
100000 subscribers TO the new Lib

The statement said: Let us not
stop when we have reached our
quota. Let us go forward and make
the quota three or four times as
great, If it ie possible to do it, and
let us at the same time make the
number of subscribers to these bonds

fore. There is no answer that will

TEUTON DRIVE CREATES
PARLIAMENT ISSUES
[Continued From First Page. I

with the ancient and always conten-
tious problem of government for Ire
land.
Both these issues have been thrust
upon the cabinet during the brief re-
cess, the first by the desperate Ger
man attacks in France. which de-
mand all the men the allies can mus
ter as quickly as they can be put in
the field, and the second by the con-
clusion of the Irish convention and
the rendering of its report which
Premier Lloyd George promised
would be followed by legislation.
The deepest attention is command
ed by the CONSUMPTION bill because il
vitality affects the interests and des-
tinies of hundreds of thousands of
men and families in that portion of
the United Kingdom east of the Irish
sea.
Several of the morning newspa-
pers say there is reason to believe
Premier Lloyd George intends to
foreshadow in his speech to-day the
introduction shortly of home rule
measure which would set up an Irish
parliament in Dublin with due safe
guards for the protestant minority
and a compromise on the much dis
cussed customs question. According
to one paper, the new bill also ex-
pected to include military service
and an executive responsible to the
Irish parliament but with no con-
troll over naval, army and foreign
affairs.
Most Critical Period of War
Premier Lloyd George announced
in the House of Commons this after
noon that the Irish convention report
had been laid on the table to-day.
Mr.. Lloyd George said his Insnpower
proposal would involve an extreme
sacrifice by part of the population of
Great Britain. In the course of his
speech the British Premier said:
I'VE have now entered the most
critical period of the war. There is
lull in the storm. but the hurri-
cane is not yet over The fate of
the empire, of Europe and of liberty
may depend upon the success with
which the last German attack is re-
sisted and countered."
Premier George told Commons that
when the battle on the Somme front
commenced the total combatant
strength of the German army on the
west front was approximately equal
to the total of the Entente Allies.
