LittletOn S Loan Quota.

Several citizens of Littleton
including our friend, Editor T.
r. Walker, through the columns
of the News Reporter, have call.
ed our attention this week to the
fact that Littleton did raise its
quota of the Third Liberty Loan,
in spite of the fact that figures
published in the Herald of May
II, showed them to be about
SIG, 900 short Of their quota of
Sal, 100.
The figures published by us
were taken verbatim from the
official report of the Federal Re-
serve Bank at Richmond, through
which all the Loan subscriptions
of this State are handled. In
vestigation since the publication
of the standing referred to has
ascertained that a good part of
the Littleton subscriptions had
not been reported at the time
this statement was issued by the
Federal Reserve Bank.
We are glad to know and to
state that Littleton did subscribe
her quota, and we are sorry that
a different impression was cir
culated by our article of May II. |
The fault lies, however, not with
the Herald, nor with the Federal
Reserve Bank, but with those in
who neglected or failed
to report total sales promptly to

MEAT CAUSE OF

Y If YOU must have your meat every
day, eat it, but flush your kidneys
with salts occasionally, says 8. noted
authority who tells us that meat
forms uric acid which almost para
ives the kidneys in their efforts TO
expel it from the blood. They be-
come sluggish and weaken, then you
suffer with dull misery in the kid
new region, sharp pains In the #back
or sick headache, dizziness, your
stomach sours, tongue is coated and
when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine gets
cloudy, full Of sediment, the channels
often get sore and irritated, oblging
YOU to seek relief two OF three times
during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush OIL
the BOYS urinous waste get four
ounces Of Jad Salts from any pharnl-
acy here; take a tablespoonful in
glass Of water before breakfast Tor
q few days and your kidneys will then
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid Of grapes and lemon
Juice, combined with ithia, and has
been used for generations to flush
and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also
To neutralize the acids in urine, 50 IT

der weakness. !.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot
