KIDNEYS
ACTIVE WITH 4
GLASS OF SALTS
Must flush your Kidneys oc-
casionally if you eat meat
regularly.
Noted authority tells what
causes Backache and
Bladder weakness.

No man or woman who eats meat
Zegularly can make a mistake by
zJIshing the kidneys occasionally,
=ays well-known authority. Meat
orms uric acid which clogs the kid
ey pores so they sluggishly filter or
train only part of the waste and
poisons from the blood, then you get
ick. Nearly all rheumatism, head
ches, liver trouble, nervousness,
onstipation, dizziness sleeplessness,
ladder disorders come from slug
aish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache
n the kidneys or your back hurts, or
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full
! + sediment, irregular of passage or
! ttended by a sensation of scalding,
let about four ounces of Jad Salts
rom any reliable pharmacy and take
tablespoonful in a glass of water
efore breakfast for a few days and
our kidneys will then act fine. This
amous salts is made from the acid
f grapes and lemon juice, combined
With lithia, and has been used for
Generations to flush clogged kidneys
nd stimulate them to activity. also
neutralize the acids in urine so il
% longer causes irritation, thus end
ng bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
bot injure; makes delightful effer-
eScent lithia-water drink which all
egular meat eaters should AXE now
nd then to keep the kidne. n clean
nd the blood pure, thereby av. f1ing

field army and corps troops not at
tached to divisions. The replace
ment detachm ents also must go for
ward at an accelerating rate, since
American troops are now actually
holding a sector of the French front,
and men are being killed or wound
ed in action every day.
The completion of the full pro-
gram of the War Department with
out creating any additional divi-
sions probably will absorb in the
neighbofhood of 100000 men. The
extent to which it has been neces-
sary to increase artillery quotas
throughout the Army and to add
special units of all sorts has sur
prised every officer and accounts for
the existing shortages to large
I extent.
Replacement Troops
The number of replacement troops
necessary is worked out in a scientific
way, based on experience at the
front. A fixed percentage for each
arm of the service is established.
Among the noncombatant arms, this
| is very small; but it is quite high
among front line troops. While of
/ ticial figures are not available, it is
estimated that something more than
100000 will be necessary for the
1918 program, making 100000 nee
essary to call out during this year
The last increments if the first
draft now in process of mobilization,
totaling about $4,000, are being used
to fill regular and National Guard
divisions shown by their efficiency
reports to be available for early duty
abroad. Some of the men are be-
ing used also to fill up the special
forces, although an additional source

How I am doing my bit to help

You want to know what / have

At first l did not know that
could answer you very much, since
l have read your letter l have been
thinking considerably.
You remember when President
Wilson made an appeal to the peo-
pie to help to reduce the high cost
of living and thus create more crops
to feed the Allies, L applied at that
time to the Supervisor for an acre
of land. On that acre of land
made one of the best gardens that
you ever saw. l got enough pota-
toes to supply my family, raised to-
matoes, lettuce, beans and all kinds
of green's. / must admit that this

NEXT DRAFT TO
CALL 100000 MEN
DURING THE YEAR
Will Be Drawn to Embarrass
Coming Harvest as Little
as Possible

Washington, March S.-While a
out during the present year to fill
up the Army and complete its or
ganization, it was learned yesterday
that War Department plans do not
call for the creation of any addt-
tional divisions in 1918. The an
nouncement concerning the second
draft expected soon from Provost
Marshal General Crowder may out
line the manner in which less than
100000 men-probably not much
in excess of 500, ,OOO-are to be sum-
moned gradually during the year
to complete the existing organiza-
tions.
Delay in the announcement as to
when the next draft is to be expected
is true to the uncertainty as to which
method of allotting quotas to the
states is to be followed. The Sem
ate already has passed, and the
House military committee has fa-
Vorably reported, an amendment to
the law to base the quota on the
number of men in class one, instead
of upon the total registration of a
state. This change is regarded as
certain TO be made but the depart
ment is prepared to act under the
old system.
Will Not Delay Harvest
AS TO the date of the second draft,
members of Congress from agricul-
tural sections have been practically
assured that no withdrawal of men
from civil life was contemplated
which would embarrass harvesting
1t has been indicated, However, that
relatively small number of men
must be called to the colors prior to
June 1, and that process may start
in April when equipment, clothing
and quarters will be available. The
men are needed to fill up to full
strength divisions slated for early
departure to Europe and also for

BOXING SHOW

Committee May Stage Series
of Public Bouts; Mem
bership Show Soon

The entertainments committee of

pther boxing show. There is also
probability that within the next
hree weeks, this organization will
pffer to the fight fans of Harrisburg
bill extraordinary. This show will
be held in Chestnut Street Audi
orium.
For next Thursday night a local
bill is probable. If arrangements
are satisfactory, there will be six
good ring contests, and two wrest-
ing matches. The program swill
include a number of the boys who
made good two weeks ago.
Efforts are being made to get
Sammy Shift and Merle Lehmer
ogether. Shift was given the de-
'ision, but after the entertainm ent
was said that Lehmer had been
ouled and the referee expressed as
his opinion that Lehmer should not
pc credited with a defeat. To this
r.. Mcknight, manager of Sammy
Shift, takes exception and writes
he following:

In regards to your publication
