War Rates at the
Hotel Petrograd, Paris

The work which Miss Geary has been doing
is of quite different nature, but it is quite as
important in it's way and even more personal
in it's appeal to some Of US, for it concerns the
protection and comfort of the young women
we are sending over in various capacities
to work in own army-your daughter
or sister or best FRIEND maybe And isn't it
comfort to the people at home to feel that
when that young woman arrives in Paris she
will be housed in real American hotel con-
Quoted by real American woman who is COM
petent to advise her on every subject under
the shining sun? should say it is!
The Hotel Petrograd, otherwise known as
"The Hotel for Women War Workers." was
opened last December and since that time it
has registered 1900 women (this does not take
into account the scores who have made two
or three visits) 1t prides itself on it's cuisine,
and it has dining room under whose glass
domed roof $50 people are wont to dine in the
evenings. Rooms at the Hotel Petrograd, with
petit d6jeuner and the table d'hote dinner,
range from to II francs, that is, from about
S16O to $2.15 per day. Dinner alone costs
francs and no tips are allowed.
There are real American comforts at the
Hotel Petrograd, hot baths and steam heat, if
you please. The latter was kept up all through
last winter at what seems to us terrific ex-
pense | almost afraid to tell you-325
francs was the price per ton for coal, between
$50 and $50. But Miss Geary assures you
that it worth it for the comfort that it
brought to the girls coming back after long
weeks spent in work at the front

If BACK HURTS
BEGIN ON SALTS
Flush Your Kidneys Occasion
ally if You Eat Meat
Regularly.

No man or woman who eats meat reglI-
larly can make a mistake by flushing
the kidneys occasionally, says n we'll
known authority. Meat forms uric acid
which clogs the kidney pores so they
sluggishly filter or strain only part of
the waste and poisons from the blood,
then YOU get sick. Nearly all rheuma-
tism, headaches, liver trouble, nervous
ness, constipation, dizziness, sleeplessness,
bladder disorders come from sluggish kid
neys.
The moment you feel dull ache in the
kidneys or your back hurts, or if the
urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sedi-
ment irregular Of passage or attended
by sensation Of scalding, get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any reliable
pharmacy and take tablespoonful in
q 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 kidneys and
stimulate them to activity, also TO neu-
tralize the acids in urine so it no longer
causes irritation, thus ending bladder dis
orders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes delightful effer-
vescent lithia-water drink which all reg
ular meat eaters should take now and
then to keep the kidneys clean and the
blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kid
ney complications.
