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 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 o 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 eff
ferVescent lithia-water drink which
millions of men and women take
now and then, thus avoiding serious

GAUJOT FAMILY
FIGHT PRUSSIANS
Fourth Generation of Soldiers
Glad to Fight For France
Under American Flag

Miss Marguerite Gaujot, of Ridge
field. Conn.,, who has been visiting
her aunt Mrs. John j. Hursh, Green
and Woodbine streets, left for home
yesterday after a most delightful
stay in this vicinity.
Miss Gaujot is a daughter of the
late General Ernest Gaujot, world
wide traveller and mining engineer
who went to Japan years ago in the
employ of the Mikado to organize
the royal engineers on the American
plan. For his work, the Mikado gave
him the title of Lord and General in
English.
For four hundred years the Gau-
jot's have been soldiers, one An
tome Gaujot being with Rochambeau
in the American Revolution, in 1875,
another in the conquest of .Algiers,
while others have figured in the wars
of France. This Antoine was a body
guard of General Lafayette and his
sword is now in possession of the
family in this country.
To-day there are three of the Gau-
jot family fighting with the Allies,
and as they are Alsacians it makes
it most interesting to fight for France
on French soil under the American
flag, for it seems like. paying back
the compliment owed the French
since Revolutionary days. These men
say that their life interest to-day
eliminates in the thought that they
may fight the Prussians for Alsace-
Lorraine.
Three Now in Service
Miss Gaujot's three brothers in the
service are Colonel Julian L. Gaujot,
of the 18th Cavalry, Regular Army;
Rene Gaujot, of the Aviation Corps,
both in France, and Captain Antoine
GSujot, of the National Army, now
ready to "go over there" Colonel
Gaujot was provost marshal of Cen
neral Pershing's headquarters in the
recent Mexican campaign, receiving
a medal of honor for services in the
Douglas border affair. Captain An
tome Gaujot has also received a
medal of honor for swimming n river
under fire in the battle of San Matee,
Philippine campaign.
Connected with this family of gal
liant soldiers is DIR. Robert Hursh, of
this city, who has just received his
commission in the Medical Reserves,
National Army.

His Blow Before

Crown Prince, Confident of

T'eutons Outgeneralled
Counter Offensive Sprung at
Right Time and in

{By The Associated Press)

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
FRANCE, July ga retrospective
glance at the entire battle since the
Germans tried to cross the Marne in
their great effort TO break up the
French armies shows that the Crown
Prince, thinking the French exhausted
by the terrific defensive battles they
fought during March, April, May and
June, had decided to launch a fresh
offensive. lie was so confident of sue
cess that he did not endeavor to hide
his preparations.
When Generals Won Einem, Won
Mudra, Won Boehm and Won Eben
started the attack on the night of
July Id they expected to overcome all
resistance and easily capture Mont
mirail, Epernay and Chalons. General
Petain, however, had prepared another
plan, which was presented to General
Foch on July II and which was ap-
proved the following day.
Problem Hard on West
The idea was to abandon advanced
posts and hold the principal line of
resistance with only the absolutely
essential forces and in the meantime
prepare to spring a counter offensive
on the German flank when the enemy
troops were fully engaged in the bat
tie. Eastward of Rheims the execu-
tion of General Petain's plan was
favored by strongly held posi-
tons, but to the westward of that
city the problem was complicated be-
cause the organization of the ground
held by the French had not been COM
pleted.
When the battle opened however,
and opposing plans were put to the
test, that of General P6tain proved
itself superior to the others. The
French, Americans, British and Italians
co0perated in a wholehearted way ano
completely upset the Crown Princes
utter defeat and discontinue of the
| German armies, which were obliged to
employ many divisions which had been
reserved for later blows.
The Allied counter offensive was re-
markably we'll prepared and executed
1t was struck at the right place and
at the proper time. The Germans are
now very anxious regarding the posi-
tions of their great army between the
Aisne and the Marne. 1t is for this
reason that they are fighting with des-
peration
The present moment for them is one
Of the most critical of the war since
the Allies possess the initiative and
the rapidly increasing American army
enables them to undertake operations
which would otherwise be impossible.
The fighting will continue to be very
severe, as the ground which the Ger
mans occupy is very suitable for
defensive battle, but their resistance
is costing them dearly. Their Difficult
ties are being augmented every day
and 1T is probable le that they will be
compelled to think hard before start
ing any other offensive action, even
if its object is only to relieve the
situation

mittee were told to-day by Secretary
Baker and General March. chief of
staff.
The transportation facilities of the
expeditionary army are fully meeting
the strain placed upon them in keeping
the moving troops supplied and in
uon, the Representatives were told.
While without information as to
casualties in the present battle, Secre-
tary Baker said the percentage of men
killed in previous fighting had been
remarkably low Figures furnished the
committee showed that the death rate
in battle has been eight thousand,
while there was exactly the same pro
portion OF deaths from diseases among
the eXpeditionary forces.
The officials said this undoubtedly
was the lowest death rate among
troops at war in the history of the
world.
Members OF the committee inquired
as to the losses by the Germans in
killed since the present battle started,
but General March said he had no in
formation on that subject. adding that
the American forces were too busy
pressing their offensive to even at
tempt to estimate the German dead.
