FOR RUSH
Preliminary instruction on Hand
ling Christmas Packages for
Soldiers Received by Local
Chapter; Efficiency Urged.

That the Red Cross is perfecting
! plans for the efficient handling Of
the rush OF Christmas mail to the
soldiers ON the fighting front, is in
dicated by notices that have been
received by the local chapter Of the
organization. These are preliminary
to general instruction, detailing the
plan that is to be followed. The no.
,tices, by George w. Simmons, mana
ger of the southwestern division, are
as follows;

your part of the work. Remember
that the privilege of assisting the
government in this highly commend

seas imposes a solemn responsibility
upon the Red Cross, which is shared
by each person who helps to carry
out the plan. Any deviation from
instructions or failure to abide by
tho restrictions thrown around the
preparation of parcels may do irrep-
arabic damage and bring discredit
upon the Red Cross. The first thing
to be done is to appoint your Chris

Grady has $3.50, 900 on Quota of
$4,000 now on Record; Some
Townships Not Fully Report
ed; Maximum 100000.
STACKER DRIVE TO
START NEXT WEEK
Advisory Committee to Hear
Gases Reported; May Publish
List Those Able Buy Who
Failed, Says Chairman.

The goal in the Fourth Liberty
loan campaign for Grady county
which closes today is not the quota
assigned the county, but the doub-
ling of that figure, according to ad-
vices given out at headquarters this
morning by F. L. Slusher, county
chairman.
Up to this morning, with some of
the township returns yet to be re.
teived, the figures showed that the
county had subscribed $25O,OO0 on a
quota of $4,000 and every effott
was being made today to run that
total to $25S,OO0 at east and With
100000 as the maximum mark at
which to shoot Mr.. Slusher an.
nounced that owing to the fact that
few of the township chairmen had
not made complete reports, it was
impossible to give out the tabulated
totals, showing township quotas and
subscriptions until some time next
week
Advisory Committee to Bat.
Alger Melton, chairman of the ad.
visory committee, announced this
morning that the committee would
go into session Monday morning to
consider the cases of any slackers
reported to the body. Mr.. Slusher,
county campaign chairman, made it
plant that the drive for subscrip-
tions would definitely close today as
far as work by the soliciting commit
tees is concerned, but the purchases
of bonds will be received from those
heralded before the advisory com
nittee. Everyone is especially urged
to get their names on the dotted
line today.
after today, those who are able
to purchase bonds and who have not
done so, will go on the Stacker list"
said Mr.. Melton. "This does not ap-
ply solely to those whose names
were listed by the advisory commit
teen on individual quota cards. It
was impossible for the committee to
include everyone who was able to
buy on the individual quota card list
NnW thAcn ri, h,,,r
have not bought will be classed as
slackes, even though they were not
furnished with an individual quota.
This. on the basis that all should CO.
operate and purchase all the bonds
they can carry. In all probability
the advisory committee will publish
the complete Stacker list handled by
the committee and the council of

Campaign High Lights.
During the progress of the Grady
county drive, many were the hap
openings that served to cheer the
workers on. One of such high lights
came to the attention of the county
chairman, as follows: A Middle.
berg township man called at head
Iquarters and asked if a certain citi-
zen of that township had purchased
any bonds. Mr. Slusher looked up
the records and found that the indi.
ividual in question had purchased
$500 worth

on the old man." was the answer.
In what way does this purchase

EAT LESS AND TAKE !
SALTS FOR KIDNEYS
Take O glass Of Salts before breakfast
If your Back hurts or Bladder
bothers you

The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trouble,
because we eat too much and all our food
is rich. Our blood is filled with uric
acid which the kidneys strive to filter
out, they weaken from overwork, become
sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and
the result is kidney trouble, bladder
weakness and general decline In health.
When your kidneys feel like Jumps of
lead; your back hurts or the urine is
cloudy, full of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three times
during the night; if you suffer with sick
headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid
stomach, or you have rheumatism when
the weather is bad, get from your phar-
macist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take q tablespoonful in glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon juice, combined with
Gthia, and has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys;
to neutralize the acids in the urine 80 it
no longer is q source of irritation, thus
ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot In.
jure, makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water beverage, and belongs in
every home, because nobody can make
a mistake by having good kidney flush
