GOOD HEATH is
A PATRIOTIC DUTY

Literally, this is period when no
one should have time to be sick".
Every man, women and child in Amer
lea should be busy doing that which
best serves the common welfare Sick
ness and doctor bills are c"uroa.ic
waste, and waste in National eificien-
cy at time when we can least afford
1t.
The time will come when it will be
little les than a disgrace to have such
cause they are preventable, and every
time the e is a case Of either the plain
fact is that someone has been care
less almost criminaliy careless with
one Of our greatest oe all possessions,
human health.
All our thousands Of deaths, ten of
thousands Of cases of serious illness
and million of dollars in losses from
doctors nursing and drug bills because
of typhoid and malaria are avoidable,
and the way to avoid them is to screen
out flies and mosquitoes. When
these pests are screened out when we
keep flies away from our food and
drink and mosquitoes from biting us
we will have prevented probably 90
per cent. of all the sickness and ineffi-
cheney due to typhoid and malaria.
Whatever it may cost, good health
is worth the price; whatever adequate
screening of all doors and windows
may cost the investment will pay a
thousand percent and more.
And what is true Of typhoid and
malaria is also true of our preventa-
bic minor ailments. Indigestion alone
due to unwisely selected or improperly
prepared foods is heavily handicap
ping many person yet is almost
wholly avo ;dable.
We can't afford to be sick at this
critical time; least of all can we afford
to go down with preventable disease.
Screen up; clean up, keep well.-The
Progressive Farmer.

lillian CRIMINLS RESPECT
OFFICERS OF RED CROSS

When Col. Robert Perkins, Red
Cross Commissioner to Italy, was in
his country recently, he related an
experience of a Red Cross worker in
Rome.
This man, dressed in the uniform
of the American Red Cross, had dined
1T the opposite side of the town to
that in which his living quarters were
located. Coming home rather late,
and losing his way, he got into the
slums of the city. Walking along a
very dark street, he was suddenly
waylaid by two bandits, who pointed
4 pistol at his head, and demanded
his money. He very calmly said: 81
am Capt. --, of the American
Red Cross" They Immediately as
sumed an attitude Of the utmost res
pect, pocketed their revolvers, and,
with the greatest courtesy, told the
Red Cross officer that he had wander
ed into part of the town where it
was not safe, and after saying that
they would see to it that nothing
should ever happen to any man rep
resenting the American Red Cross,
escorted him to the more civilized
parts of the city and, bidding him
courteous Good evening"" departed.

cLEMENcEAU THINKS
YEAR WILL END WAR

Paris, Aug 20.-t is the belief of
Premier Clemenceau that a complete
triumph will be won during the pres
ent year by the arms of the entente
allies and that the war will have end,
ed before another year has passed, ac-
cording to the understanding reached
by United States Senator ]. Hamilton
Lewis, of Illinois, of remarks the pre-
mier made during a conversation
with him. The gist of the conversa-
tion with the consent of M. Clemen-
ceau has been given to the Associated
Press by Senator Lewis.
Premier Ciemenceau paid high trib-
ute to President Wilson as a con-
structive leader and said he was
greatly impressed with Newton d.
Baker, the American secretary of war,
as man of great resources. The
premier declared that when the Anne
rlcan troops arrived uncertainty ex-
isted as to whether they could bring
Their undoubted courage into imme-
date action after having been trained
to life of peace. The first showing
of the American troops had amazed
France with their bravery and sol.
dierly perfection, he said.
The premier declared the work Of
the American troops on the battle.
field did more to terrorize Germany
than any other thing the enemy has
met. He said France has every conf.
dence now that this war was on the
way to immediate victory.
Senator Lewis said Premier Glenn
enceau gave him messages to Presi
dent Wilson and the people of the
United State.

IF KIDNEYS AND
BLADDER BOTHER
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys
and Neutralize Irritat- =.
ing Acids.

+ Kidney and Bladder weakness re-
suit from uric acid, says a noted
authority. The kidneys filter this
acid from the blood and pass it on
to the bladder, where it often re-
mains to irritate and infame, causing
burning, scalding sensation, or
setting up an irritation at the neck
of the bladder, obliging you to seek
relief two or three times during the
night The sufferer is in constant
dread, the water passes sometimes
with a scalding sensation and is very
profuse again, there is difficulty in
avoiding it. ..... .. - !.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
it, because they can't control urina-
ton. While it is extremely annoy
ing and sometimes very painful, this
is really one of the most simple all
ments to overcome. Get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from your phar-
macist and take tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast, con-
tinue this for two or three days. This
will neutralize the acids in the urine
so it no longer is a source of irrita-
ton to the bladder and urinary or
gans which then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with litIia,
and is used by thousands of folks
who are subject to urinary disorders
caused by uric acid irritation. Jad
Salts is splendid for kidneys and
causes no bad effects whatever.
Here you have q pleasant, effer-
veseent lithia-water drink, which
quickly relieves bladder trouble.
