started here in which the British gov

this valuable territory, which covers
several thousand square miles, and is
rich in coal and other minerals.

Of KIDNEY PAIN
We eat too much meat, which

times during the night. When the

flush off the body'S urinous waste or
you'll be a real sick person shortly.
At first you feel dull misery in the
kidney region, you suffer from back
ache, sick headache. dizziness, stom-
ach gets sour, tongue coated and
you feel rheumatic twinges when the
weather is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots of water:
also get from any pharmacist four
ounces of Jad Salts; take a table
spoonful in n glass of water before
breakfast for n few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. 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 clogged kidneys
and stimulate them TO normal ac-
tivity, also to neutralize the acids in
urine, so it no longer is a source of
irritation, thus ending bladder weak

Germany to Attack Russia;
Forces Have Crossed DUina
and Advance Eastward
BY associated Press

Washington, Feb. 19.-Germany
has returned to the attack on the
Russian front and the Bolsheviki
government must face its greatest
test-the power of German militar-
ism. Invading forces have crossed
the Dvina at Dvinsk and are ad-
vancing eastward from Kovel, Vol
hynia, to aid the hard-pressed
Ukrainians and protect the food
supplies in the new country. This is
the first military activity on these
fronts since last November.
What opposition the Bolsheviki
can or will offer the Germans is
problematical. Although the Rus
sian army has been much weakened
by the rehabilitation order and
strife in the ranks the Bolsheviki
Red Guards have been successful
against the Ukrainians and other
opposing forces in Southern Russia.
A week ago. delayed dispatches
from Petrograd say. the Bolsheviki
leaders were doubtful if Germany
would attack and apparently had no
intention to fight the invaders. The
food shortage in Great Russia is be-
coming desperate.
Ukraine Situation Serious
The situation in the Ukraine is
serious which may account for Ger
many's decision to act. BolSheviki
troops hold Kiev, the capital, where
1000 persons were killed and 1000
injured in several days of heavy
fighting and Bolsheviki adherents
are destroying railroads and food
supplies. In Odessa ,also there has
been fighting.

work.
I'VE are all essentially American" !"
said DIR. Krass. Nothing that is
American is foreign to the Jews.
The Jew of America is member
of a great family of 100000 other
Jews, but the allegiance he owes
that family does not affect his 10y
atty to America"
THE jew" said DR.. Krass, sis
the barometer of civilization. To
the extent that nation oppresses or
does not oppress the Jew is recl-
oned its civilization. That nation
which most oppresses the Jew is the
least civilized; and America possesses
the greatest civilization because it,;
pressure is not directed against the
Jew, but for him.

William Jennings, chairman of the
committee which worked among
non-Jewish residents of Harrisburg,
announced last evening that he had
secured $4,000. This announcement
was greeted with great applause.
There were several 1000 contribu-
tions, a number at $500 and a flood
of 5000 ones. But the large sum
raised represents contributions from
only fourth of the Jewish families

The meeting was called to order
by DIR. Claypool, head of the Anti

which will direct the whole cam

stood by us we will stand by; any

Greatest enthusiasm prevailed at

church and every voting precinct
be individually canvassed to get ac-

entirely to liquor, citing among 9TH

man recently by a southern negro,

The lack of bathing facilities is
commented upon. Last year an ef-
fort was made to replace the float
ing bathhouse at Seneca street, but
no bids could be obtained, and as a
result this part of the playground
system was not opened. While there
were bathing facilities at Island Park
these could not accommodate the
thousands of residents in the west
end of the city. 1t is planned if pos
sible to have a bathhouse construct
ed this year for use at Seneca street.

ment will find funds available later
in the Year to have he slopes rip
