Hawaiian Schools Losing
Many Teachers. ,

Hawaiian schools are likely to
suffer a severe lack of teachers
this fall, for the supply of qualified
women in the islands is being re-
duced almost daily. y
The situation in Hawaii is peculiar,
for most of the teachers there are
the wives of army officers and en-
listed men. The teachers husbands
are now being transferred to other
points, and their wives are going
with them, or, in the event of the
men being sent to the fighting line in
Europe, back to their homes.
The consequence is that heroic
measures may have to be adopted to
find a supply OF women teachers in
Hawaii, or to devise means by which
those who are left can be made to
fiji. the places of those who have
gone.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally,
says a well-known authority. Meat
forms uric acid which clogs the kid
ney pores so they sluggishly filter
or strain only part of the waste and
poisons from the blood, then you get
sick. Nearly all rheumatism, head
aches, liver trouble, nervousness,
constipation, dizziness, sleeplessness,
bladder disorders come from slug
gish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache
in the kidneys or your back hurts, or
if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full
of sediment, irregular of passage or
attended by sensation of scalding,
get about four ounces Of Jad Salts
from any reliable pharmacy and
take a tablespoonful in a 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 activity, also to neutralize the
acids in urine so it no longer causes
irritation, thus ending bladder dis
orders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes delightful effer-
vescent Whitewater drink which all
regular meat eaters should take now
and then to keep the kidneys clean
and the blood pure, thereby avoid
