SALTS IS FINE FOR
KIDNEYS, OUT MEAT
Flush the Kidneys at once when Back
hurts or Bladder bothers-Meat
forms uric acid.

No man or woman who eats meat regu.
larly can make a mistake by flushing
the kidneys occasionally, says a well:
known authority. Meat forms uric acid
which clogs the kidney pores 60 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, sleeplessnesa,
bladder disorders come from sluggish lid
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 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, COM
bined with ithia 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 Sa.ts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes a delightful effer-
vescent lithia-water drink which all reg
ulaf meat eaters should take now and
then to keep the kidneys clean and the
blood pure, thereby avoiding serious Kid
ney complications

DRINK HOT WATER
BEFORE BREAKFAST
Says you really feel clean, sweet
and fresh inside, and
are seldom i'll.

If you are accustomed to wake up
with coated tongue, foul breath or
dull. dizzy headache; or, if your
meals sour and turn into gas and
acids, you have a real surprise await
ing you. !
o Tomorrow j.. morning, Immediately
upon arising, drink a glass of hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it. This is intended to
first neutralize and then wash out of
your stomach, liver, kidneys and
thirty feet of intestihes all the indi-
gestible waste, poisons, sour bile and
toxins, thus cleansing, sweetening and
purifying the entire alimentary canals
Those subject to sick headaches,
backache, bilious attacks, constipation
or any form Of stomach trouble. are
urged to get a quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate from the drug store
and begin enjoying this morning In
side-bath. 1t is said that men and
women who try this become enthu-
siastic and keep it up daily. It is a
splendid health measure for it is more
important to keep clean and pure on
the inside than on the outside. because
the skin pores do not absorb impuri-
ties" into the blood, causing disease,
! while the bowel pores do.
The principle of bathing inside is
not new, as millions of people practice
IL, Just as Hot water and soap cleanse,
purify and freshen the skin, so hot
water and a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate act on the stomach. liver,
kidneys and bowels. Limestone phos-
phate is an inexpensive white powder
and almost tasteless.

WHERE DOES YOUR COUNTY STAND?
The Poorest County VIII be That One Which Did Least to
Raise lis War Savings Quota.

Where does your county stand?
Was it one to raise it's quota OF War
Savings pledges? Has it received its
War Savings honor flag, which signi-
6es that it has answered nobly the
call Of it's Government and can be
counted on at every call? If not, why
not? Are you satisfied with your
county's record? Did you do your
part in signing the pledge and giving
your services to make your county
60 over in the drive?
Another opportunity is going to be
given your county and you to say
what you will do. Those who did too
little or pledged amounts too small
will be given a chance to save their
record. Many who have reconsidered
since they were called on weeks ago
and their services more liberal and
willing. Many since that time have
come to know the good investment
that War Savings Stamps offer and
they are willing to- pledge themselves
to save more that they may invest
more in the best securities on earth
Again, as result of the drive, many
people have come to realize for the
first time that they owe their country
a debt of gratitude and service. They
will seek this opportunity to pay this
debt.
No individual, no township, no coun-
ty can afford not to pay it. None of
these can afford not to invest to the
utmost in War Savings Stamps, as a
mere selfish means of protection after
the war. Then will money be scarce,
labor cheap, and prices high. The
county or the individual that has
made no provision for the future will
be more than unfortunate The poor
est county as we'll as the poorest in.
dividual after the war will be that one
who made the least effort to buy its
full quota of War Savings Stamps
and other securities offered by the
Government. Poor indeed will be the
man or county that will have no rec.
ord OF having served his country to
the point Of sacrifice that it might win
the war, when all the history of the
war shall have been written.

EVEN so.

You are too busy, you say, to get
out and help your county raise its
quota OF War Savings Stamps. So
are the boys in France busy, very
busy-busy day and night keeping
back the Huns aid saving our homes,
farms and factories from the fate that
Bel: m met.
You are too tired, you say, to solicit
pledgesN or to remind those who
pledged to buy.
So are the boys in France tired, very
tired,-tired of fighting by day and
keeping watch by night that America
and her homes may be safe from Hun
atrocities. So nigh to exhaustion the
boys may be, but the prospect of q
restful night to them is only another
night of ANXIOUS waiting to go lover
the top" and perhaps into the jaws
Of death in the morning.
1t is not convenient, you say, for
you to buy War Savings Stamps at
this time, or give your services to the
War Savings cause.
Even so it was not convenient for
the boys to leave their homes, farms
and factories, their wives, mothers
and sweethe arts,-everybody and
everything that was near and dear to
them,-to go to France to save de.
fenceless women and children. It was
not convenient for the United States
that Germany should sink the Lust.

conveniences.
You have no money to spare Won

Nor have the boys over there any
blood to spare. Yet bravely and I'm.
complainingly they are giving their

as your money is to you,-to save
your country from German invasion
