nomination, / wish to make public
my announcement as candidate in
the primaries for said office, on the
republican ticket, and solicit the sup

with the voters of the county, I want
the office and work.

sacks. The wheat s.being ground into

HEAVY MEAT EATERS
HAVE SLOW KIDNEYS
Eat less meat if you feel BackachY OF
have bladder trouble Take
glass Of Salts,

No man or woman who eats meat regu-
larry can make mistake by flushing the
kidneys occasionally, says a. we'll known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
cxcites the kidneys, they become over
worked from the strain, get sluggish and
fail to filter the waste and poisons from
the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessncss and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
Theimoment 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, stop eating meat
and get about four ounces Of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take a
tablespoonful in glass Of water before
breakfast and in few days your kidneys
will act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid Of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush and stimulate
the Kidneys, also to neutralize the acids
in urine SO it no longer causes irritation
thus ending bladder weakness.
D Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injnre; makes delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious, kidney
comnIicntinns. (.

Ends Stubborn Coughs
in a Hurry
For real effectiveness. this old homo
made remedy has no equal. Eas-
lily and chcaply prepared.

You'll never know how quickly a bad
cough can be conquered, until you try
this famous old home made remedy. Any
one who has coughed all day and all
night, will say that the immediate relief
given is almost like magic. 1t takes
but moment to prepare, and really
there is nothing better for coughs.
Into a pint bottle, put 21a ounces OF
Pinex; then add plain granulated
sugar syrup to make full pint. Or
you can use clarified molasses, honey,
or corn syrup, instead OF sugar syrup,
if desired. Either way, the full pint
saves about two-thirds of the money
usually spent for cough preparations,
and gives you a more positive, effective
remedy. 1t sleeps perfectly and tastes
pleasant-children like it.
You can feel this take hold instantly,
soothing and healing the membranes in
allthe air passages. 1t promptly loosens
q dry, tight cough, and soon you will
notice the plriegm thin out and then
disappear altogether. A days use will
usually break up an ordinary throat or
chest cold, and it is also splendid for
bronchitis, Group, whooping cough, and
bronchial asthma.
Pinex is a most valuable concentrated
compound of genuine Norway pine ex-
tract. known as the most reliable remedy
for throat and chest ailments.
To avoid disappointment, ask your
druggist for "2h ounces OF Pinex'' with
full directions and don't accept anything
else. Guaranteed to give absolute salts
faction or money promptly refunded.

Several State MERCHANTS up for Slight
Violations Of Food Admin
I strator's Rules.
NO SAvELESS DAYS

1t is comforting to know that Fed

reviewing the food situation, says that
We will be able to export nearly sia
million more tons of foodstuffs to the
armies and allies during the coming
year that we did last year This car

by arbitrary rules, but it cannot be
done unless the people continue to con
serve the food supply and save every
crumb possible. The Allies were saw
ed last year by being fed with some
self denial on the part OF our people
but no one suffered any great incon
venienee.
Every individual should become his
or her own food controller II we con
tinue to feed our army and the Allies
we must continue to save, and do i!
voluntarily and freely. There will be
no wheatless days nor meatless days
for us during the coming year if W.
practice the rigid economy in the use
of foodstuffs that we should follow
war or no war, as matter of economic
duty. But, il we are to continue &c
have no more wheatless nor meatless
days, we must see to it that there are
no SAvELESS DAYS.
Owing to a world shortage Of sugar
there will, of course, be limitations
on the use Of sugar, but none on bread
and meat except that all the people
will eat the Liberty Loaf composed OF
so per cent wheat -four and 20 pei
cent substitutes. This is the demo
cratic plan agreed upon by the confer
ence of the food controllers of this
country and the Allies held in London
a short time ago. In fact it is the plan
of our people that our Allies shall sit
down at common table with us dur
ing the remainder of the war
Such slight sacrifices as we have
been heretofore asked to make, anG
will continue TO make, are more thar
offset by the actual saving in dollars

NEW BAKING REGULATIONS

The State Food administration has
just sent letters to all hotel and res
taurant keepers of the state inform
ing them OF new baking regulation
by which they are to be governed in
the future. This rule reads as fol.
lows:
Public eating places must serve
limited portions. No licensee operat-
ing hotel, restaurant, dining car,
steamship, boarding house or other
public eating place, or club shall
serve to any person at any meal more
than two (2) ounces of bread or rolls
of class or four "a ounces of bread
Of class 5, or Of any other breads; Pro-
viced, that this shall not apply to
sandwiches or to bread served at
boarding camps, or to rye bread which
contains at least so per cent of rye
13ur
As interpreted by the Hotel Division,
this rule retains the old two ounce
limit on Victory bread and rolls and
the four ounce limit on quick breads
But, on the other hand the sandwich
rule is Withdrawn altogether so that
there is no limit on the number OF
sandwiches which may be served, or
which may be packed in pals; the
bread limit at boarding camps is re.
moved, and finally new standard is
established for bread which may be
served without limit in that so per
cent rye bread may be served free of
all restrictions.
The records kept by hotel and res
taurant proprietors for each month
must show the number Of meals sery-
ed, the number of pounds of wheat in
any form, the number Of pounds of
bread when bread is purchased from
bakery, the number of pounds of beef,
the number of pounds OF pork, the
number Of pounds of sugar used each
month.

FALLS TO DEATH
WHEN CAR TURTLES
Perry CatIett Fatally Injured
On Wednesday.

Perry M. Catlett, of near Cham
bersyiHe, Frederick county, Va, was
so badly injured when an automo
bile he was driving fell over an EN-
bankment en- the Martinsburg pike
near Ridgeway Tuesday night that
he died at 400 O'Clock Wednesday
morning without regaining consci
business. The body was removed to
Winchester and prepared for burial
and taken to The young mans home
near Charlottesville.
The young man was employed by
the J. L. Baker Limestone Company
ct their quarries near Bunker Hill
and last night he was in his own
automobile, which his mother had
bought for him, on his way to see a
young lady living several miles
south of the quarries. He was alone
at the time and in attempting to
round curve on the hill he failed
to turn at a sharp enough angle and
the car plunged over an embank-
ment
Young Catlett was pinned beneath
his car and his chest was crushed
in. He also received other injuries.
Persons living some distance away
heard the noise of the accident and
when no car came along they went
to investigate. They lifted the car
off of his body and the injured man
was taken back to his boarding
house at Bunker Hill. He died at
400 O'Clock this morning without
having regained consciousness.
The man had lived with his moth
er, Mrs Virginia L. Catlett, most of
the time. He had registered in 1917,
but had been granted deferred clas-
sifcation on account of dependent
mother and on agricultural grounds.
Besides her he is survived by two
brothers, Clarence L. Catlett and
Smith Catlett and one sister, Miss
Leila Cat1ett.
