branches were exceptionally

URGE BUCKNER FOR
 PLACE AS CHAPLAIN

Rev. Walter D. Buckner, for more than a decade sector of Trinity Epis- copal church here, and a brother of Mrs. M. A. Austin, is being urged by some Memphis friends to accept ap- pointment as army chaplain for duty with an overseas contingent The Memphis News-Scimitar of Saturday contained the following:
 "The Rev. Walter D. Buckner, rec tor of Calvary church, is being urged to accept appointment as chaplain for overseas duty.
 "The tender, or rather the urgent appeal, came rferfom Maj. E. c. Mitchell, in command of base hospital unit No. 57 and Maj. E. D. Smythe, chief surgeon.
 Base hospital unit No. 57 will be one of the largest base hospitals in France. twill have 1000 beds, a large staff of physicians and surgeons, large number of nurses and many enlisted men. It will be one of the most complete organizations to be found anywhere back of the lines.
 'Dr. Buckner has not decided what he will do. He is torn between the desire to enter war service and the duty of remaining in Memphis and performing the more prosaic but none the less important tasks in connection with the war.
 "There is only one thing that Dr. Buckner would rather be than a chaplain with the American forces. and that is private with gun in the first lines trenches with the Ameri- can army.
 Left to his desire Dr. Buckner He is wrapped up in the work. He takes large and leading part in ev- cry movement for the advancement of the cause of America that 'Memphians enter upon. The people of Memphis recognize him as one of the few in dispensable persons in the city.
 "Dr. Buckner came to Memphis sev- en years ago from Little Rock. He is spoken of as the bishop coadiutor for Tennessee as assistant to Bishop Gai- Tor. He is strong speaker, a man Of strong convictions. with an appealing personality and is an all-round love able man.
 A strong protest against his accept +ance has already started among the 1000 communicants of his church and the people generally. He will decide within the next few days what answer he will give to Mai. Mitchell! and Maj. Smvthe His impulse is to go and he will make the supreme sacrifice If he remains behind.
 Base hospital unit No. 57 is in training at Fort Oglethorpe and the call for active service will come when the organization is ready"

CARPETED
 WITH GERMAN DEAD

Paris, June 12.-The ground over which the French advanced in their counter attack Tuesday was literally heaped with German dead says the Havas correspondent at the front. In re-taking BellOy and reaching the southern outskirts of St. Maur the French surprised the Germans who until then had thoughts they were masters of the situation. The Ger mans retired in disorder and brought horses to the first line at full gallOp in order to carry away their guns.
 The ardent and valiant counter at tacks, the correspondent says, proved that the French have not lost their hitting powers.

EAT LESS MEAT
 IF BACK HURTS
Take a Glass of Salts to Flush kid neys if Bladder Bothers
 You.

Eating meat regularly eventually produces kidney trouble in some form or other, says a well-kncwn authority. because the uric acid in meat excites the kidneys, they become overworkcd; :; get sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of distress, particularly back ache and misery in the kidney region rheumatic twinges, severe headaches. acid stomach, constipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and urin- ary irritation.
 The moment your back hurts o1, kidneys aren't acting right, or if blad- der bothers you, get aboW four oun- ces of lad Salts from any good phar- macy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast fer a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famofs salts is made from the acid of gIfpes and lemon juice, combined withF lithia, and has been used for generations to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to norm al activity; also to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer i1- ritates, thus ending bladder disord- CTS.
 lad Salts cannot injure anyone; makes a delightful effervescent lithia- water drink which millions of men and women take now and then to keep the kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus avoiding serious kidney disease.-Advt.
