According to a statement issued to-
s@y bF Mrs. c. W. Seely. in charge
of the American Red Cross home serv-
ice work. considerable trouble both to
soldiers, their commanding officers,
and the families at home, could be
avoided f people would take up vari-
Gus featucea 9s interest between the
two sides thru the home service sec
ton rather than attempting to get re-
suits on their own initiative.
Mrs Seely says that there have
been many cases where people at home
have written. wired, or telephoned
either to the man in camp or to ms
commanding officer asking that the
man be allowed to come home. Sick
ness that was not as dangerous as was
represented has often been used as
means of prying loose the desired

physicians in attendance. The extern

A stranger, walking thru a small

"Ah, my friend, then you are book

probably. until the free library was
opened, you were unable to browse
upon the beauties TO English Litera-
ture. Shakespeare was unknown to
you. The rhapsodies of Keats and
Shelley, the stately prose of Matthew
Arnold, the delicate writings of Char

mind SO hungered, were denied you.

SALTS IF BACKACHY
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Drink lots Of water and stop eating
meat for while if your Bladder
troubles you


When you wake up with baclkache and
dull misery in the kidney region it gen.
orally means you have been eating too
much meat, says well-known authority.
Meat forms uric acid which overworks
the kidneys in their effort to filter it
from the blood and they become sort of
paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys
get sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you yeiieve your bowels; re-
moving all the body's urinous waste,
else you have backache, sick headache,
dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue
is coated, and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The urine
is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often
get sore, water scalds and you are obliged
to seek relief two or three times during
the night.
Either consult a good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharmacist
about four ounces OF Jad Salts; 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
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize acids in the urine 30 It
no longer irritates, thus ending Bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is life saver for regular
meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes q delightful, effer.
