CAUSES CAFES TO /
SING swan SONG.
cSverument Order Places at Least
Three In Rock Island Out Of
Liquor Business.

| II least three cafes in Rock Island
Vii close tonight Is far as the sale
q liquor 10 concerned.
The Harper House, Harms and Co.
lcnial cafes are divorced from the H.
ouor business tonight Although the
order prohibiting the sale of liquor
within one-half mile Of Rock Island
Arsenal will not go into effect until 9
o'clock tomorrow morning. the cafes
viii tonight serve their last drinks.
Il Is thought possible that the Rock
Island house will have the only cafe
IN operation in the tri-cities tomor-
row night This depends on the gov
arument survey to determine the
ftstus Of the hotel in the 1900 block.
Drinking in cafes has gradually I'M
dergone a decrease. Several years
ago when the cafes were permitted to
open until II o'clock and there was
cabaret entertainment, these places in
Rock Island were in their full glory
But gradually they have decreased in
popularity, evidenced by the smaller
crowds in them. Legislation of the
municipal commission reducing the
closing hour TO II o'clock and elimin-
ating the entertainment feature, were
big factors In causing a decrease in
the size Of the crowds nightly in the
cafes. And finally, the government or
der eliminating at least three, prac-
ticaily removes the cafes from ROCK
Island.

EAT LESS MEAT
If BACK HURTS
Take q Glass Of Salts to Flush
Kidneys II Bladder Bothers

1Ous
Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says a well-known author
ity, because the uric acid in meat ex-
cites the kidneys, they become over
worked; get sluggish; clog up and
cause all sorts of distress, particularly
backache and misery in the kidney
region; rheumatic twinges, severe
headaches, acid stomach, constipation,
torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder
and urinary 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 a glass of
water 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
for generations to flush clogged kid
neys and stimulate them to normal ac-
tivity; also to neutralize the acids in
tie urine SO 1t no longer irritates, thus
ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes 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.

GERMANS NOW TRY HEAD OFF DISASTER Fight Desperately to Save as Much as POSSible-Retreat Inevitable
 Their Losses
 Increase.

London, July 22.-Hard fighting is proceeding in all sections of the line from Soissons to Rheims, according to dispatches reaching London this after noon, but always with the allies on the offensive and the Germans fighting desperately to save what they can be- fore the onrush.
 The French captured 45 more guns, including six of large caliber. in the fighting along the MGne, where the Germans were compelled to retreat very hastily, leaving behind large quantities of material of all kinds.
 Although the Germans are fighting bitterly along the bottom of the salient, there are indications that they realize that retreat is inevitable, for they are burning villages several miles behind their lines, and there is great congestion of troops around the top of the salient, which may indicate preparations for new line
 With the district south of the Marne cleared of Germans, the allies are con- structing bridges and getting large bodies of troops and supplies across for pursuit The Germans undoubtedly will continue to fight stubbornly to hold the salient, but if things continue, to go well with the allies in their att tack tho nnpmv. iS 1ilolv tO ho forced back to the line of the River Vesle,
