OFFICIAL.

Registrants have been much un.
settled by published statements to
the effect that deferred classes
were liable to call by the local
board for the County of Imperial
within a short time.
1t should be understood that the
announcement has been repeatedly
made by the provost marshal gen.
eral that the army is to be raised
from Class l. There have been no
instructions at variance with this
announcement, and until some diff
ferent order is promulgated by
General Crowder there is nothing
to warrant those in deferred
classes pursuing any other course
than that which their civil activi-
ties may require of them.

EAT LESS MEAT
IF BACK HURTS
TAKE A GLASS OF SALTS TO
FLUSH KIDNEYS If BLADDER
BOTHERS YOU-DRINK LOTS OF
WATER.

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
Or other. says a we'll known authority,
because the uric acid in meat excites
the kidneys, they become overworked;
get sluggish; clog up and cause all
sorts Of distress, particularly back
ache and misery in the kidney region;
rheumatic twinges, severe headaches,
acid stomach, constipation, torpid
liver, sleeplessness, bladder and uTir'
airy irritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take a tablespoonful in glass of wa
te?r 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, com
bined with lithia, and has been used
generations to flush clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to normal activity;
also to neutralize the acids in the
urine so it no longer irritates, thus
ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then to keep the
kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus
avoiding serious kidney disease. adv
