 The kidneys do their utmost to free the blood of this irritating acid, but become weak from the overwork they get slug. gish; the eliminative tissues clog and thus the waste is retained in the blood to poi son the entire system.

LATE CHRISTMAS LABELS

Through no fault of the soldiers abroad or of their families at home numbers .oi the Christmas labels arrived too late, November 30 was the last day set py the government for the sending of the ooXes' ana many were received after that
 The Jefferson county chapter can or fer no help in this matter, as 1t had positive instructions to send no ooxes after that date. The ships which are to carry the Christmas boxes are 10 leave on a certain date, and It would probably be too late to reach them. II the chapter has any further instructions about these belated labels it will at once publish the information.
 However, it can offer one suggestion to these families which have received their labels too late. The labels can De sent to Wanamaker's establishment Tn Paris, France, with a money order ana a request to send a box of candy or whatever you want to send to your boy in France Wanamaker will send the box, so that your boy will get one for his Christmas present, and you can write and explain to him that his label came too late.
