To Remove Splinter.

To remove a splinter from the hand,
fill wide-mouthed bottle nearly full
of hot water, says Popular Mechanics
Magazine. Thrust the injured part
over the mouth and press it slightly.
The flesh will be drawn down and
shortly the splinter will be exposed
under the action of the steam. This
method is far better than the common
and dangerous practice Of pricking the
flesh with pin or knife point. The
usual antiseptic solution should be ap-
piled.

We waited long, we bore much, and

to fight for American liberty, and we
won it. In 1912 we fought for the
freedom of the sea. and we won that.
In 1861 we sent our sons to fight for

In 1908. when the revolutionary
Turkish government was for freedom,
Germany opposed 1t; when it became
tyrannical Germany made this govern

because its success as republic made
the French people perilous to princes.
The German government plotted to re-
store the Manchu Emperor and the
Russian Gar to their thrones.
Because the American people by its
prosperity and power made liberty
desired by all the world the German
government has been its secret enemy.
Thirty years ago it plotted against our
treaty rights in Samoa; it sent its
fleet to worry and threaten Dewey
at Manila in 1858; it offered to Eng

Monroe Doctrine in Mexico. 1t has in

No meanwhile gets tangled up with a militant suffra gist The first stop for the troupe is Mystery Land where the girls don't wear much at tire. Yes don't want the troupe to go any further but No is compelled by his suffragist sweetheart to move the troupe immediately. The next stand is the Kings Palace in Wazooka Egypt.

 SALTS FOR KIDNEYS
Eat Less Meat if Kidneys Feel Like Lead or Bladder BOtherS You
 Meat Forms Uric Acid.

Most folks forget that the kidneys like the bowels, get sluggish and Clog9ed and need flushing occasion- ally, else we have bachache and dull misery in the kidney region, severe headaches, rheumatic tWinges, torpid liver, acid stomach, sleeplessness and all sorts of bladder disorders.
 You simply must keep your kidneys active and clean, and the moment you feel an ache or pain in the kidney region, get about four ounces of lad Salts from any good drug store here, take a tablespoonful in a 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 is harmless to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity. It also neutralizes the acids in the urine so it no londer irritates, thus ending bladder dis orders.
 lad Salts is harmless; inexpensive; makes a delightful effervescent Iithia- water drink which everybody should take now and then to keep their kid neys clean, thus avoiding serious com plications.
 A well-knoWn local druggist says he sells lots of lad Salts to folks who be- 1ieve in overcoming kidney trouble while it is only trouble.

Another emergency. such as that which prompted the Red Cross cam paign for 5000 tons of surplus cloth ing for Belgium makes it necessary for the American Red Cross now to appeal 10 the public for donations of surplus household linen. The emer- gcney has arisen in war hospitals in France and elsewhere. The linen sup ply the has been exhausted and the Red Cross is asking for approxi- InotcIy 6,600,0U0 articles of lincn in order that the hospital needs may be Net.
 The campaign will be conducted under the name of "the Red Cross }.incn ShoWcr'' Towels. handllerchicf$ >ond napkins are the articles princi- pully needed. According to a cable 5!}~;;&a 2e received from the Red Cross Commissioner to Franco, the cam Duign. to bo satisfactory. must pro- vide 1.250,000 bath towels. 2,500, 900 hand towels. 1,750.000 handkcrchicfs, t3J.O00 napkins and 650.O00 sheets
 To purchase these articles in the open market is Impossible since the needs Of the war hospitals would al- most exhaust the market supply and result M diSarTangCmCnt of prices. Accordingly, it rests with the public, the Red Cross announces whether. sick and wounded American fightiniy men are to have suitable linen.
 Tine linen should come from the surplus stock which many famiIic* nave on hand The articles donated should be substantially new They should be of strong rather than fine texture, since hospital linens are steri- Iiz@d with acid solutions.
 Indications as viewed from the re- suits of the Bcleian clothing campaign i'll all parts of the country. point to most generous response on. the part If the mcn and women of America. The appeal is addressed to women generally since they are the custodi- "ns of suppnp4 of linen which house. holds possess.
