IF KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
says Backachc is sign you have been
eating too much meat, which
forms uric acid.

When you wake up with baekache and
dull misery in the kidney region it gem
orally means You have been eating too
much meat, says we'll 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 relieve 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 ofUen
get sore, water scalds and you are obliged
to seek relief two or three times during
the night.
Either consult good, reliable physi-
ciaI at once or get from your pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
q 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
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize acids in the urine so it
no longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is a life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes a delightful, effer-
yescent lithia-wa ter drink.

had to find hiding place for the day.
I thought I would approach the first

but that day I had misgtvngs-

If did, and decided to go without
food altogether for that day.
1t was foolish thing to do, found,
because I not only suffered greatly
from hunger all that day. but 1t inter-
fered with my sleep. would drop of
to sleep for half an hour. perhaps.
AMI during that time I would dream
that I was free, back home, living a
life Of comparative ease, and then I
would wake up with a start and catch
glimpse of the bushes surrounding
me, feel the hard ground beneath me
and the hunger pangs gnawing at my
sides, and then I would realize how
far from home I really was, and I
would lie there and wonder whether
I would ever really see my home
again. Then would fall asleep again
and dream this time, perhaps Of the
days spent In Courtrai. or my leap
from the tain window, Of the Bava-
rian pilot whom sent to eternity in
my last air fight, of my tracer bullets
getting closer and closer to his head,
and then would wake up again with
start and thank the Lord that was
only dreaming it all again instead of
living through it!
That night I got an early start be-
cause I knew I had to have food, and
I decided that rather than look for
vegetables I would take a chance and
apply to the first Belgian peasant
whom came to.
1t was about o'clock when 1 came
to small house. had picked up a
heavy stone and had bound it in my
handkerchief and was resolved to use
it as a weapon If 1t became necessary.
After all I had gone through, I was
resolved to win my liberty eventually
at whatever cost.

hour and then came to another little
village. My usual course would have
been to go around it-through fields,
back yards, woods or whatever else
lay in my way-but had gained SO
much time by going through the last
village instead of detouring around
it and my appearance seemed to be so
unsuspicious that I decided to try the
same stunt again.
I stopped humming and kept very
much on the alert, but apart from
that, I walked boldly through the
main street without any feeling of
alarm.

along the main street when I noticed
ahead of me three German soldiers

CHAPTER xI.

What the Belgian told me about

succeeded In getting one?
decided that until l reached the
big city which the Belgian had men,
Homeland which I cannot name for

there who befriended mel would
proceed with the utmost precaution.
Since I had discarded my uniform
and had obtained civilian clothes, 1
had not been quite as careful as was

cling at night. 1 had not gone into
hiding SO early in the morning es
before and I had sometimes started

might be. From now on, I resolved,
however, would take no more
chances.
That evening j came to q river per-
haps seventy-five yards wide and I
was getting ready to swim it when I
thought I would walk a little way to
find, If possible. a better place to get
to the river from the bank. had not
walked more than few hundred
yards when I saw a boat. It was the
first time I had seen a boat In all my
experiences.
1t was firmly chained, but as the
stakes were sunk In the soft bank 1t
was not much of job to pull them
out. I got In. drank to my hearts
content, showed over to the other side,
got out, drove . stake into the ground
and moored the boat It would have
been . simple matter to have drifted
down the river, but the river was not
shown on the map and had no idea
where 1t might lead me. Very reluc-

the boat and proceed on foot.

over to me. touching me on the shoul-

almost touched my ear, he said in
broken English. ''You are an Eng

There was smile on his face and
friendly attitude about him that told
me instinctively that he could be
trusted, and I replied: "You have
guessed right-only am an Ameri-
can, not an Englishman."
He looked at me pityingly and filed
my cup again with warm milk.
His kindness and apparent willing
ness to help me almost overcame me,
and felt like warning him of the
consequences he would suffer IL the
Huns discovered he had befriended
me. had heard that twenty Belgians
had been shot for helping Belgians
to escape into Holland. and hated
to think what might happen to this
good old Samaritan If the Huns ever
knew that he had helped an escaped

asked him to suggest way by
which I could overcome the difficulty.
He thought for several moments
and studied me closely all the time
perhaps endeavoring to make abso-
lutely sure that I was not German
spy-and then apparently deciding in
my favor, told me what he thought it
was best for me to do.
IF you will call on this man"
(mentioning the name of Belgian in
-, city through which had to
pass), he advised. "you will be able to
make arrangements with him to Sc
cure a passport, and he will do every
thing he can to get you out of Bel
gium."
He told me where the man in ques-
ton could be found and gave me some
useful directions to continue my jour
ney, and then he led me to the door.
I thanked him a thousand times and
wanted to pay him for his kindness
and help but he would accept nothing.
He did give me his name and you may
be sure shall never forget it, but to
mention 1t here might, of course, re-
suit in serious consequences for him.

Germans are thrown out of Belgium,

there didn't seem to be much use in
resisting, unarmed as was and with
two other German soldiers within a

Like a flash 1t suddenly dawned on
me. however, that for all this soldier
could have known was only a Bel
gian peasant and that his object in
searching me, which he proceeded to
do. was to ascertain whether I had
committed the common "crime" Of
smuggling potatoes.
The Belgians were allowed only a
certain amount Of potatoes. apd it is
against the laws laid down by the
Huns to deal In vegetables Of any
kind except under the rigid supervi-
