FATHER OF ELEVEN
Liable to Draft Under New Ruling
 Affecting British Subjects.

British subjects who have received notifications of the convention be- tween the United States and Great Britain under which, if they are be- tween 21 and 45. they must volunteer for service or eventually come under the Jurisdiction of the selective ser vice boards, are anxiously questioning attorneys, emu' CTS and others as to what they should do.
 To the unmarried British subjects the advice invariably is "enlist, either in the United States or British armies and do your bit-as the boys of both nations are doing il: you have no ex- cuse to remain at home if you have no dependents and are physically per feet"
 But the case of the married men is different and each individual case is different from another, so giving ad- vice is ticklish business. One British subject resident here has wife and II children. yet is under 45 and liable for service.

Editor of HPhysician's Who's Wht
 Makes Important Statement.

Judging from the countless prepara- tions and treatments which are contin- ually being advertised for the purpose of making thin people f1eshy. develop ing arms, neck and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and angles by the soft curved lines of health and beauty, there are evidently thousands of men and women who keenly feel their excessive thinness-
 Thinness and weakness are usually due to starved nerves. Our bodies need more phosphate than is contained Tn modern foods. Physicians claim there is nothing that will supply this den- cieHcy Sd well as the organic phosphate known among druggists as bitro- -phos- phate which is inexpensive and IS sold by Lee & Osgood and most all drug rists under a guarantee of atisfaction or money back. By feeding the nerves directly and by supplying the body cells with the necessary. phosphoric food clements, hitro- phosphate quickly produces welcome transformation in inc appearance: the increase in weight freduenay being astonishing.
 Clinical tests made in St. .Catherine,s hospital. N Y. C.. showed that two patients gained in weight 23 and 27 pounds. respectively, through the ad- n1inistration of this organic phosphate both patients claim they have not felt

THE ROOSEVELT RECORD

Theodore Roosevelt and his sons
have been selected for demonstra-
tons of mendacity and petty malice
which takes the most contemplate
form in reflections upon the perso-
nal courage and sincerity of the CO.
lionel, who wanted to go to war, and
upon his boys who did.
The colonel can stand it. He is
accustomed to learning that all he
did in the Spanish war was to hide
in a cellar in Oyster Bay, but the
real cry of indignation and contempt
which he let out in defense of the
conduct of his sons, challenged by AN
ignorant partisan editor, ought to ST.
lence the detractors.
Theodore Jr., major in the twenty
sixth infantry, gassed, partially
blinded, lungs injured, cited for gal
lantry; Kermit, captain machine gun
battery, given military cross for gal
antry; Archie. captain of infantry,
wounded by shell, commended for
galantry by order of General Per-
shing; Quentin, second lieutenant in
air service.
The Roosevelt record is such that
the critic who questions its sincerity
only defiles himself.-Chicago Tri-

BIG EATERS. GET
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take q glass Of Salts before hreskfsd
II your Back hurts or Bladder
bothen you.

b American men and women mus,
guard constantly against Kidney trouble
because we eat too much and all u food
is rich. Our blood is filed with uric
acid which the kidneys strive to filter
out. they weaken from overwork, become
sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and
the result is kidney trouble, bladder
weakness and a general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like Jumps of
lead; your back hurts OF the urine is
cloudy, full of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three time,
during the night; if you suffer with sick
headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid
stomach, or you have rheumatism when
the weather is bad, get from you phar-
macist about four ounces of Jad Salts:
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
litbia, and has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys:
10 neutralize the acids in the urine so it
no longer il q source of irritation, thus
ending bladder disorders.

Jure, makes a delightful ~efervescent

every home, because nobody can make
. mistake BY having a good kidney fush-
ing any time.

RAILROAD RATE ADVANCE

Recommendation that all railroad
rates be increased at least Is pei
cent is a belated recognition of a
necessity which has existed for sew
cral years.
Under government operation it is
proposed to do at one stroke that
which the Interstate Commerce
Commission has persistently refused
to permit under private operation,
Acting according to the plain facts
of the situation instead of being
swayed by prejudice. Director Cen
eral McAdoo is not likely to delay
long his acceptance of the advice
given by the men to whom all gov
eminent authorities were formerly
deaf.
Though much has been said about
the inefficiency of railroad manage
inefficiency of Government regula-
ton of the railroads. If regulation
had been efficient, it would have re-
cognized that poor service is dear
at any price, that revenue adequate
to maintain, improve and extend the
lines is essential to good service, and
that any attempt to punish mt
of railroads by denying them such
revenue falls ultimately on the ship
pers and through them on the peo-
pie in general.
The men who made and administ-
cred railroad laws were prevented
by the clamor Of demagogues and
railroad baiters from following the
guidance of their own judgment. Be-
cause one railroad had ~mismanaged
they punished also the ninety nine
which had been we'll managed, and
their patrons with them. Because
traffic had been pooled to the in
Jury of the public, they refused to
permit pooling so directed by public
regulation that it would have Injured
to the public good.-Portland Ore
