LESS MEAT F BACK

TAKE A GLASS OF SALTS TO FLUSH KIDNEYS IF BLADDER
 BOTHERs You-DRlNK
 LOTS; OF WATER.

Eating meat regularly eventually produces Kidney trouble in some form or other, says well-known authority, because the uric acid in meat excites the kidneys, they become overworked; get sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of distress, particularly backacl1e and misery in the kidney region; rheumatic twfnges, severe headaches, acid stom- ach, constipation, torpid liver, sleep lessness, bladder and urinary irrita- ton. ss
 The moment your back hurts or kid- neys aren't acting right, or if bladder bothers you, get about four ounces of lad Salts from any good pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in glass of water before breakfast for few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for genera fions to flush clogged Kidneys and stim- ulate them to normal activity; also to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder disorders
 lad Salts cannot. injure anyone; makes a delightful effervescent lithia- water drink which millions of men and women take now and then to eep the kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus avoiding serious kidney disease.

ACADEMY BOYS WILL
 WORK ON FARMS
N. F. A. Students Addressed By Yale
 Battalion Officer.

The last period on Friday the boys of the Norwich Free Aradenly met in the upper study room in connection with the drive for recruits for the Boys Working Reserve. Principal H. A. Tirrell first explained the Working Reserve for Boys. The work counting for the badges is farming, munition work. and shipbuilding. After work ing 3s days on a farm or 50 days at shipbuilding the older boys receive certificates from the United States government and the state of Coniiec- ticut and a bronze badge.
 The younger boys who enlist in the Connecticut Working Reserve receive certificates and a badge from Connec- ticut The boys will not be sent where they do not wish to go but will get their positions themselves or they will be sent to farms nearby Seniors who are not expecting to go to college will be allowed to leave school early and still receive their diplomas A committee is now taking up with the college board committee about Sex- cusing seniors from college examina tions. The lower classrnen will not be excused from examinations or from school unless the work is very neees- sary.
 Francis J. Leavens. president of the board of trustees, then spoke a few words to the boys.
 He said that he had worked when he was in grammar school on a farm. It was not all fun, many times it was very hard work but he liked it. Boys working. on farms this summer will be helping the country and will be help inc themselves both physically and mentally by working in the open air. Those boys who are skilled as car penters can secure employment in war industries. MT. Leavens was hearti- " applauded by the boys.
 Mr Stafford of the Yale Battalion, Reserve Officers Training corps, then caven an interesting address which held the attention of the boys. He said that Connecticut only produces about one third of her food in normal times and now that so many men fsave been called into the army 1t is up Lo the boys of Connecticut to do their share. The wages ought not to in- terest tho boys, the French soldiers work for three cents day while our own soldiers only get sor1e dollar a day. Mr Stafford said that it would be hard work but eacn boy gets a chance to get at German. Last sum : mer there were 700 boys working on farms this summer every boy ought to be working, He said that he had two special things to say to the se- niors; after working ali summer on farm if you go to college be sure and enlist iii the Reserve Officers Train ing corps.
 MT. Tirrell then asked all those who expected to work on fsrn1s or ii. war industries to stard up and about one hundred boys stood up.

4vlcToRY BREAD OR CLOSE,
Food Administratioa's Slogan. Fe
 Bakers is Seis Explanatory.


 Any Connecticut baker who is not baking Victory bread and rolls cofl- taining at least 20 per cent. Of wheat flour substitutes must close his shop and stay closed until he is prepared to use the requisite amount of .substi- tutes, according to a telegram receiv- ed by the federal food administration for Connecticut. Robert Scoville. the federal food administrator for this stale has returned to Cearfecticut, having been at the state adrninistra- tors conferences in Washington where he was member of the com mittees on bread which adopted the slogan, Victory Bread or Close" ef- fective immediately The telegram re- ceived from Washington by Mir. Sco- vile, last night, is as follows:
 At the meeting of the committee of state administrators with the baking section of the United States Food Ad- ministration, it was devoted to make the slogan Victory Bread or Close ef- feetiFe,,
 ..ETIahe press of Connecticut is asked to give the widest publicity to the statement that all bakers who are not using the required 20 per cent. of wheat four substitutes in bread and rolls must cease baking these products and not assume operations until pre- pared to use the substitutes as re- auired. upon pain of tine revocation of their United States Food Administra- tion bakers licenses. This applies to bread and rolls only. Where there is 8, surplus of potatoes available, the food administration again urges the bakers to make use of them as sub stitutes to the limit of their ability, fN1 Jcy ,F LAs in the place of one pound of other sub. stitutes. It is realized that some bak- CTS will exert themselves to secure substitutes only if failure to do so is severely penalized.''
 MT. Scoville said that he anticipated no serious curtaiiinent of Connecti- cuts bread during the next few months by reason of the rigid en- forcement of the new order which is necessary because of the very serious wheat situation and because many li- censed bakers have been failing to comply with the regulation, effective since February A: requiring them to use at least 20 per, cent of some of the approved substitutes with the wheat four. Mir. Scoville said that a method was being perfected whereby periodic inspection of the bakeshops would readily reveal whether or not the baker was abiding by the terms of his license. That the wheat flour problem has reached the acute stage was attributed by MT. Scovilie to the fact that the American people as a whole did not heed the food admins tration's early warnings to save the wheat and now those who saved and those who wasted are likely to be fore ed to do all their conserving in inten- sive measure during the coming nine ty days.

MISC EsTELLA sPRAeuE
 REFuTEs STATEMENT
Outlines Position of Home Economies Department On Wheat Flour saIee Resufs5ions,


 Tn q statement outlining the position of Department of Home Economies on the s'5o-5o" wheat four sales reg ulations and in refutation of certain incorrect and misleading stateuented letters and editorials. recently publish ed in Connecticut newspapers, Miss M. Estello Scrague who, by reason of her official connection with the Federal Fool Administration for Connecticut, is, the accepted guide Of patriotic Connecticut housewives, has issued the following statement:
 ''The housewives of Connecticut are rapidly learning to rsadjltst house. hold conditions to meet the necessary directions issued by the United States Food Administration They are also doing this without stopping to duib- ble, as they realize much valuable time is lost by discussing the subject In the last few months the federal and state food organizations have moved state food organizations have proved themselves worthy of the confidence of the housewife and they no longer stop to argue the why or wherefore. In war times, especially. if an official issues an order, it is to be obeyed at once. Our men over there don't stop to reason why when a command is given. The commands given by the Food Administration are just as important as those given, by the war department and must be obeyed with the same splendid spirit, especially during crucial period of the next two months.
 ''The housewives have tremendous responsibility from now until the new harvest is in. We must have certain quantities of food. Wheat especially must be shipped. We must buy with each of our purchases of q 1-2 pounds of wheat four, 24 1-2 pounds of bar ley. corn. oatmeal, rice and such ce- reals and use them now in our farni-
