QUIT MEAT WHEN
 KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take glass of Salts before breakfast if your Back hurts or Bladder
 is troubling you.

No man or woman who eats meat regu- larly can make mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which excites the kidneys, they become over worked from the strain, get sluggish and fail to filter the waste and poisons from the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and urinary disorders come from sluggish kidneys.
 The moment you feel dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts or II the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sedi- ment, irregular of passage or attended by a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat and get about four ounces of lad Salts from any pharmacy; take 8 tablespoonful in. glass of water before breakfast and in few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate the kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder weakness.
 lad Salts is inexpensive and cannot iniure, makes a delightful effervescent lithla-water drink which everyone should take now and then to keep the Kidneys clean and active and the blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney complications.

 Dee, there isn't much that we can write about over here. We don't know any war news, and l wouldn't care to write about it if I did We are bil- leted in a dry place in very pretty section of France; at least they say it's pretty; I've never been out to see.

NOTES FROM CAMP PIKE.

Homefolks in Arkansas will be proud to know how generously the soldier lads from their state are sub scribing to the Fourth Liberty Loan at Camp Pike. The fact that some of them thought the war was over and tried to turn their accoutrements last Sunday got the other Arkan- sawyers on their mettle. They start ed in to redeem themselves by sign ing up for Liberty Bonds, and the way they filed into the battalion headquarters voluntarily was sur- prise to the old heads. They didn't stop with one bond either. Several took two and even three bonds and wrote back from Y buildings advis- ing friends to do likewise.

 When we get settled I'm going to soldering, for soldiers are the only fellows that will go back, and l for one, must go home.
 l haven't received any mail from the states yet, and 1 sure would love to hear from home. You must write me a long letter just as soon as you get this, for a letter over here IS just like a wedding at home--and for one copy of the Newport lnde- pendent I would give two francs.

An Arkansas darkey was shylng around the back of the officers train ing school parade ground last week when the depot brigade staff officers riding school was having it's first lesson. One of the stunts the in- structor was putting the shoulder straps through, was to lean back on the saddle placing the head on the horses flank. Some of the officers were having trouble in keeping their balance and the negro cried out; "Lawsy, massy, Oh's feahed dem ossl- fehs am gwine teh fall outen dey saddles backwards" He stood transfixed for time until another private explained to him that the of ficers were merely exercising.

Perhaps the best way TO Pest your
thought mechanism is to indulge in
muscular exercise. by which means
you concentrate your anatomical
movements and indirectly rest your
mind. To focus the attention upon
muscular movements or upon some

the muscles which are concerned in
the generation Of thought and ideas
