EMERGENCY CALL BEING
 MADE FOR LABORERS

Little Rock, Oct. 7.--An emergent call for labor is being made by the government in the following message from Secretary Lane sent yesterday to every County Council of Defense chairman in the state:
 "A stock of high explosive shells imperatiVely needed in France has been destroyed, and the ofw of these supplies has been retarded, not only for the present moment, but for months to come unless immediate re- lief is provided This loss must be made up at once by putting additional burdens on all other American muni- tion plants. Within the next forty eight hours the number of men to be supplied by your state will be wired by the U. s. Employment Service to it's federal state director. Please is sue the necessary notice to your state, county and community Councils of Defense t oput their entire inhu- ence behind the employment service in this emergency. This call for men must be met, but there should be no difficulty in getting them The work is dangerous but that will not deter any one, for it is unthinkable that any man in this country would hold back fro mdolng work which the women of England and France long have car ried on.

PHYSICALLY FIT
 AT ANY AGE

It isn't age, it's careless living that puts men ''down and out Keep your internal organs in good condition and you will always be physically fit. Watch the kidneys.
 The kidneys are the most over worked organs in the human body. When they break down under the strain and the deadly uric acid ac- cumulates and crystallizes, look out These sharp crystals tear and scratch the delicate urinary channels causing eXcruciating pain and set up irrita- tions which may cause premature de- generation and often do turn into deadly Bright's Disease.
 One of the first warnings of slug gish kidney action is pain or stiffness in the small of the back, high colored or scanty urine, loss of appetite, indi- gestion or rheumatism.
 Do not wait until the danger is up on you. At the first indication of trouble go after the cause at once. Go to your druggist immediately. Get a trial box of GOLD MEDAL Haar- lem Oil Capsules, imported direct from the laboratories in Holland, where they have been in use for over two hundred years. They will give almost immediate relief. If for any cause they should not your money will be refunded. But be sure to get GOLD MEDAL. None other is genu- inc nI sealed boxes, three sizes.
