understand the vital inheritance Of
keeping the kidneys active.
Drink lots of water-you can't
drink too much; also get from any
pharmacist about four ounces of Jad
Salts; take a tablespoon in glass
OF water before breakfast each morn
ing for a few days and your kidneys
will act fine. This famous salts is
made from the acid Of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with Iithia,
and has been used for generations to
clean and stimulate clogged kidneys;
also to neutralize the acids in urine

THREE BROTHERS MEET
OFTEN ON BATTLE FRONT

Continued from Page One)
through the single letter which
reached them.
Crossing Macedonia, Greece, and
the Mediterranean, Brothers One and
Three arrived in Italy, where q
Frenchman at the desolate army post
where troops embark from trains to
boats and vice versa handed one OF
them a telegram. 1t was from the
aviator brother, who was at little
Italian town on the road to Rome,
through which their train passed en-
route to France. He was in an
aviation school,
The train stopped 40 minutes in
the Italian town, time enough for
Brothers One and Three to find Two,
and to get permission for him to
ride to Rome with them. returning
next day alone. 1t was the first re-
union Of the league" as they called
1T. Before the train reached Rome,
wrecks stopped it, and in muddy,
wet little Italian town, Number Two
had to leave at midnight They
parted, not expecting to get together
In wartime.
.s.ss, Trails Cross Again.
In France, Number One was sent
to a training school, and Number
Three was assigned to work in a
Paris bureau. The three were now
separated, and months passed, during
which One was in a hospital for a
long time, and Two stayed in Italy,
with Three in Paris. Then one day.
within 10 minutes of each other One
and Two walked into the office in
which Three worked. 1t was a re-
union of surprise.
Again they parted, this time One
staying lin a Paris military bureau,
Two going to an aviation center in
France, and Three to the front.
Months again passed, until Three had
a chance to leave the front for a
couple OF days. He went south OF
Paris to a town where he knew One
was again in school.
Another surprise was in store.
Two had flown over 100 miles in an.
airplane over the weekend from his
aviation school, where he now was
instructor, to the location of Number
One, arriving at the same time as
Three Needless to say, they ceie-
brated spontaneous and entirely
unexpected reunion, two of them
meantime having become officers,
and the third being within easy
range of bars"
Reunions, unexpected and surpris-
ing, are constantly occurring along
the front, usually in the course Of
the army's work.
Brothers One and Two and Three,
having no plans, but being optimis-
tic, agreed that their next meeting
shall be behind the American lines
in Germany, and not too distant in
point Of time.

IT.

National Prohibition as q war meas
ure is about to come. Minnesota,
along with the other states Will reap
the benefit. Already, they are saying
to us"Now that you have war prohi-
bition, why agitate any longer? Let
us drop the liquor question until the
war is over" If any reader of this
article has such sentiments in mind,
we have one question to ask: II the
saloons are closed, do you want them
opened again when the war is over!
Do you want the booze business re-
stored in times OF peace, when it
could not be endured in time Of war?
il there any Intelligent reason why
we should tempt our young men in
times Of peace in way that we would
not allow in time Of war? II we as q
naAion refuse to weaken his physical,
moral and mental force through in
toxicants in order that young man
may fight better, why not protect him
in the same way In order that he may
work better when the war is over? 1t
10 just as desirable that We should
have sane and sober producers as that
we should have sane and sober fight:
ers.
II these assumptions are correct, and
no man can doubt it. out duty now ID
to clinch the action that has been taxi
en- by adopting the Constitutional
Amendments for Minnesota and the
Nation at large. The stakes are all
set, the time is ripe, the election Is
coming anyway. 1t cannot be avoided.
for the law requires that we vote upon
the question. Let us 60 to the polls
and as one man vote to clinch the
action OF Congress and Danish John
Barleycorn from Minnesota forever.
We will then have done with this vex-
Ing question and removed the cause
Of the yexation from our political and
social life. One more assault--all to-
gother---over the top and the last cita-
del of the liquor business will fall.
good-citizenship will have triumphed
and the saloon and its breed OF
crimes will be no more.

RED CROSS NOTES
TO AVOID DELAYS,

When addressing letters to the
American soldiers in France, instead
of writing "a. e. F." the same
should be addressed American e.
F. Soldiers advise that delays will
be avoided in this way and less mail
will go astray, for "A. e. f." has
also been mistaken for Australian
Expeditionary Force"

THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

The Minnesota situation in refer
ence to the liquor trafic is now criti-
.cal--intensely SO. Though sixty.four
counties are dry and only twenty-five
are wet, the voting population In the
twenty-five wet counties Is almost
equal to the voting population in the
sixty.four dry counties. Furthermore,
at the last election, upon which calcu-
lations can be fairly based, 1t appears
that the wet majorities in wet coun-
ties may be large. There are still
counties In Minnesota so dominated by
alien and liquor influences that it IL
practically impossible to hold tenn
perance meeting In any church or pub
lie hall in the county
In addition to this, the laws of our
state make 1t 50 dificult to carry
through IN constitutional amendment
successfully that every available dry
vote Will be needed II we are to sue
coed. aIn many of the dry counties,
the friends OF the dry movement have
gone TO sleep, thinking that the Job
D Is done and their work Is over. Ali
such people must be aroused to definite
and vigorous action, II we are to win.
The vets are not asleep, They have
not dropped the campaign nor thrown
sup their hands acknowledging defeat.
They are steadily carrying on an "edu.
Scational' campaign and sending mis-.
leading literature in large quantities
ato leading business men. They are
slyly doing all they possibly can to
confuse the drys, even going to the
extent Of loudly proclaiming that the
drys are disloyal, and doing their ut
most to entangle the dry question with
the complex political situation now ex-
listing In Minnesota
4 DRYs OF MINNESOTA, DO NOT
ALLOW THE VETS IN ANY WAY
TO DIVERT YOU FROM YOUR
I GREAT TASK!

RED CROSS FURNISHING
NURSES FOR INFLUENZA

The supply OF graduate nurses in
Tulsa, greatly depleted by the call
into the army nursing service Of the
Red Cross, during the past few
months, has become exhausted with
the spread OF the epidemic OF Span
ish influenza. In fact, the situation
has become so acute that there is
not another available nurse in the
city.
Through the local organization,
which is acting under instructions
from st. Louis headquarters, large
number Of nurses aids, who during
the past few months have finished
tho Red Cross home nursing course,
have been placed in homes of the
city. Twenty-Five calls came to Mrs
Elizabeth Coleman, but only those
which were requested through ply
sicians of the city were compiled
with.
This plan, worked out by the Red
Cross and its nursing committee. will
he in effect until the spread of the
epidemic is checked.
II has been suggested that num-
Der Of the nurses aids also be used as
assistants in examination OF chill
dren OF the public schools and in
spraying their noses and throats as a
precaution against the epidemic.
Mrs. Kate II. Scott and Mrs. T.. b.
Long will have these in charge.
