lOpCd by Campaigns to save World

The United States entered the war

letin, and Is days later by a practical
ly unanimous vote Congress passed
the Liberty Loan Bond Bill.
On May the first Liberty Loan
was announced on May ID the details
were made public, and on the 18th
the campaign began and closed one
month later. \ The issue was for ST.
000, 100000 the bonds bearin 3R per
cent interest and running for 1880
years. The Londs carried the con-
version privilege, emitting the holder,
il he chose, to convert them into
bonds of a later issue bearing
higher rate of interest
Four and half million subscribers
from every section of the country,re-
presenting every condition, race, and
class of citizens, subscribed for more
than $4,000, 100000 of the bonds.
The outstanding features of the
first Liberty Loan were the prompt
ness with which it was arranged and
conducted, the patriotism of the news

cations, and people generally in work.

Oversubscription of more than so per

on October 27. The bonds of this
issue bear 4 per cent interest and run
for 1925 years. They carry the con-
version privilege. Nine million sub
scrbers subscribed to $4,617 ,532, 900

pecially active in this campaign and
the women of the country did efficient
organized work which greatly coutri-
buted to the success of the loan.

actly after our entrance into the war
and closed on May 4. The bonds OF
this issue bear AZ per cent interest

all additional subscriptions. Seven
teen million subscribers subscribed
for S4,170,019, $50 of the bonds.
A great feature of this loan was It's
very wide distribution among the peo-
pie and throughout the Union and the
fact that the country districts prom

loan in a great measure making ur
their quotas earlier than the cities

.TAKESALTST TO
FLUSHKlDNEYS
Eat Less Meat If You Feel
Backachy or Have Blad-
der Trouble

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 re-
lieye them like you relieve your bow
els; removing all the acids, waste and
poison, else you feel a dull misery
in the kidney region, sharp pains in
the back or sick headache, dizziness,
your stomach sours, tongue is coated
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment; the chan
nels often get irritated, obliging you
to get up two or three times during
the night.
To aeutralize 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 bladder
disorders disappear. This famous 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 effervescent Whitewater
drink which millions of men and
women take now and then, thus avoid
ing serious kidney and bladder dis
eases.

SET RECORD FOR BUILDING
New York University Put Up Eight
Large Buildings for Soldiers in
Thirteen Days.

New York university set record
in finishing an army barracks building
for the new students army training
corps in six days, says the New York
Tribune. This building was the first
of a group of eight needed for the
newly indicted soldiers at the uniyer-
sity. The entire group was completed
in 10 days from the time the work
was started. Prof. Collins P. Bliss,
head of the department Of mechanical
engineering at the university, super

soon as it was learned that New York
university would become an S. A. T.

The buildings are completely sealed
so they can be kept comfortably heat.
ed by the big cantonment stoves.
There are double floors throughout,
there is double sheathing on the out
side, and the walls are sealed inside.
Each barracks conforms to the army
plan Of 43 by 120 feet dimensions.
In the mess hall 1000 men are fed In
two shifts. High pressure steam cook
ers are used. There are gas and coal
ranges, steam tables on which to keep
the food hot, and some kettles three
feet in diameter. A dishwasher oper-
ated by steam cleans 1900 dishes an
hour.
One of the university's graduate en-
gineers-JQhn Lowry, Jr.-was respon.
sible for the rapid erection Of the bar
racks Being engaged extensively In
government work, he was able to
throw in large force Of men, trans
ferred from other government work
that was finished.
The site of the first barracks was
surveyed and staked and posts were
set in concrete in one day.

WORLDS GREAT NEED OF TIN

a long time before 60-cent tin would

a month. ago the New York price was
nominal at over 81 pound. with the
future shipments from the east up to
