IF BACK HURTS
BEGIN ON SALTS
Flush the Kidneys at once when Back
aehy or Bladder bothers-Meat
forms uric acid.

No man or woman who eats meat regu-
Iarly can make mistake by flushing
the kidneys occasionally, says a we'll
known authority. Meat forms uric acid
which clogs the kidney pores 80 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, sleeplessness,
bladder disorders come from sluggish kid
neys.
The moment you feel a 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 ii
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 lithia 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 Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes a delightful effer-
vescent lithia-water drink which all reg
uiar meat eaters should take now and
then to keep the kidneys clean and the
blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kid
nev combinations

PARACHUTE AID
TO BALLOONISTS
Mother Of James A. Nc.
Dewitt Recites Heroic
Stunts of Son.

Americans who before the war used
to watch in wonder and with bated
breath balloon parachute jumpers at
county fairs have themselves done
stunts on the firing line in France that
make the aforesaid county fair en-
tertainers look like pikers and mere
amateurs in the air game.
II anyone is disinelined to believe
this broad statement, let him read
the official War Department mem
orandum for the commander of the
army balloons. First Army" giving a
long list OF commissioned and non
commissioned officers who have made
parachute jumps "on the line under
fire" and in each case made a safe
landing.
For instance, in all the history OF
county fairs did you ever hear OF
stunt such as First Lieut.. James A.
McDevitt, Eleventh Company. A. 5.
u. S. A. pulled off. Lieut.. McDev-
tits mother, who lives at ia Yale
avenue. Cincinnati, Ohio. will tell you
with justifiable pride that such a thing
was never done in the history OF the
world.
Four times attacked by enemy
planes. his gas bag and basket rid
died with bullets. McDevitt jumped
from his burning DdllOOl' idhueN
safely in his parachute and as many
times Immediately assembled in tresh
balloon, only to have to repeat the
performance.
Bullets Pierce Balloon.
One of these jumps was made at
Nancy on September II. Three weeks
later, on October 5. during the ad-
vance northwest of Verdun, the off,
cial report states, after his balloon
had followed him to the ground IL
was found that eight German bullets
had pierced his balloon and four had
gone through the basket in which he
was standing making observations
for the American troops. Only the
next day his balloon was attacked by
two enemy airplanes and he was
forced to jump. 1t took him only
eighteen minutes. however. to get an
other airship and go about his OBJ
servation work in the skies. An hour
and eight minutes later the boches
set fire to his balloon and again made
him Jump for 1t. Again he landed
safe. Mrs. McDevitt now is presumed
to believe that her son bears a charm
ed life and has ceased to worry about
his safety.

ARMY MOTORS
TO BE POOLED
Plan Tried Out in District
Will Be Extended to
Whole Nation.

Irled out in the District of Column
ola, the pooling of the motor We
hlcle equipment of the army under
the Motor Transport Corps has
proved SO successful that 1T is to be
extended 10 the rest of the country.
All passenger and cargo carrying
vehicles are included in the order,
which will give a more efficient trans
port service for the army with much
less equipment.
An elaborate taxi system has been
established in Washington, where the
need for passenger cars for official
business is great. There are thirteen
stations, with an adequate telephone
system officers above the rank of
captain are provided with cards en-
titling them to call government cars
when needed for official business
only.
A bus service operated on sched-
ule between the principal buildings
occupied by army organizations pro-
vides transportation over regular
routes for officers and employees on
official business.
These arrangements have made IL
possible to reduce to q the number
of motor cars assigned to officers for
their individual use. Only the heads
OF departments, corps ana bureaus
are entitled to have cars assigned TO
them individually.
The new system will reduce the
! motor equipment necessary for the
armys use by about g per cent. The
vehicles released from domestic serv-
ice will be available for overseas
duty.
Joy riding. the evasion of State
