UNIVERSITY NOTES.

The meeting of the Student Union, held
Thursday in the Medical College audi
torium proved to be one in which many
important issues were decided. The
meeting opened with the old vermont"
yell, led by Mcmahon, 49, followed by
a song, led by Parker, 10. 1t was de-
cided to hold the Student Union meetings
for the present every other Thursday
evening at the Medical College. Billings.
'1s. spoke Of the baseball situation this
year. Although the trustees probably
would allow varsity baseball this spring.
it would be inadvisable because college
closes so early. Thayer, 49, then sug-
gested that the $500 athletic tax should
not be levied after mid-year If there
were to be no varsity athletics. Then
Harris, IS. moved that this athletic tax
be levied with the athletic council having
full power to invest it as they saw mt.
Johnson, '18, asked for financial re-
port from the athletic council to be pre-
scented at the next meeting. when this
motion will be voted on. Jones. '18, laid
the question of varsity track before the
students. After considerable discussion
1t was moved by Buck. 49, that the
Student Union recommend to the trustees
that track athletics be reinstated the
second semester. including varsity relay
team. and spring meets il a schedule
could be arranged. After passing by
a vote Of "A to 70, the motion was killed
on a recount Of 6S to 81. In place of track.
a military tournament was suggested by
Booth, '1S. and a committee is to be ap-
pointed by President Berry to see Major
Leonhauser about the plan. Provost.

NITRATE FOR FARMERS.
One Hundred Thousand Tons of 1t COM
ing from Chile.

County Agent j. w. Dana received
Thursday form the Office of information,

a statement by Secretary Houston on the
purchase Of 100000 tons of Chilean nitrate
for fertilizer use by farmers under the
provision in the food control act which
authorizes the President to procure nitrate
Of soda for this purpose and to supply
II to farmers for cash at cost. The state.
ment follows:
II have been giving a great deal OF
thought and attention to the nitrate ques.
ton. I have been in daily touch with
the war industries board, which was tc
purchase and deliver the material at the
seaboard. and also with the shippins
board. Arrangements were completed
several weeks ago, through the war in.
dustries board under the immediate super,
vision OF Mr.. Baruch. to purchase approx.
imately 100000 tons of nitrate of soda ir
Chile In accordance with the authorize.
ton for such purpose in the food con-
troll act. Because of disturbed shipping
conditions 1t has been impossible until
recently definitely to secure facilities for
transporting the nitrate in whole or in
part. Within the last few days prepara-
tions have been completed for the deliv.
cry at the seaboard during January OF
5000 tons, and every reasonable assur.
ance has been given that supplies, up tc
the 100000 tons. for the ensuing months
will be delivered. Every possible effort
will be made to make certain these deliv.
cries, but II should be understood that
| on account of existing situations. circum.
| stances over which there Is no control
might intervene.
II cannot state to-day exactly what the
price will be, but 1t will be approximately
SIS on board cars at tho seaboard. Farm

tag fee. which varies in different States,
but probably will not average more than
Is cents ton. and any other local
, charges.

'riation will he sold only to farmers

MEAT CAUSE Of
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take q glass of Salts if your Back
hurts or Bladder bothers-Meat
forms uric acid.

If you must have your meat every day,
eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts
occasionally, says a noted authority who
tells us that meat forms uric acid which
almost paralyzes the kidneys in their eff
forts to expel it from the blood. They
become sluggish and weaken, then you
suffer with a dull misery in the kidney
region, sharp pains in the back or sick
headache, dizziness, your stomach sours,
tongue is coated and when the weather
is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and i~rritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or three
time during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids, to
cleanse the kidneys and flush off the
body's urinous waste get four ounces of
Jad Salts from any pharmacy here;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for a 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 flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize the acids in urine,
80 it no longer irritates, thus ending
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure, and makes a delightful efervescent
Whitewater drink.

SPARTANBURG WOMAN MAKES
HIGHLY INTERESTING
STATEMENT.

ut is the best medicine I ever
took for stomach trouble, nervous.
ness and palpitation of the heart. I
sure can praise and recommend it,"
declared Mrs. H. E. Lawter, of 116
Williams St., Spartanburg, in a
statement she gave in endorsement
of Tanlac, "The National Tonic"
on February 1, 1917. 81 suffered
from very bad cases of indigestion,
nervousness and palpitation Of the
heart" continued Mrs. Lawter. "I
could hardly sleep, and would just
roll and tumble for hours, and my
nerves were so badly disturbed that
I was kept miserable almost all the
time. I couldn't eat scarcely any
thing. What I did eat felt like
bricks in my stomach, and I had a
kind of choking in my chest after
meals.
my heart futtered a great deal,
and this, I think, was partly caused
by the great quantity of gas that
formed on my stomach.
FINALLY, I decided to try Tanlac,
as it had helped so many others who
ha dtroubles somewhat like mine,
and now I. am not bothered with
stomach trouble, thanks to Tanlac.
I feel a great deal better in every
way, too. My nerves are much
stronger and steadier, and I used to
get so that I jumped when
anyone spoke to me-. I'm certainly
not that way now, as Tanlac has re-
lieved those troubles and l
have not been bothere a bit with
palpitation since 1 took the first
bottle of Tanlac.
81 feel fine now in many ways
and I sure can praise Tanlac and 1
give it credit for the change in my
condition. I am fifty-nine years
old and it takes a powerfully good
medicine to help anyone as old as l
am as much as Tanlac has helped
me-"
