Georgia has made wonderful strides
in producing her own food. according
to Miss Lois =. Dowdle. Last summer
Georgia was producing cotton as usual,
but she was importing foodstuffs- This
year under an intensive home produc-
ton campaign. she will not reduce her
output of cotton. but she will have food
to export. Thus she not only will re-
lease food for the allies, but will re-
iieve the transportation burdens OF the
railroads

special problems have been met, and
how sectional problems have been

Why were these women brought TO
Washington?

Moreover, though he is a genius al

his co-workers in Belgium told me how

I'VE believe that the information and
the inspiration these women gained
from Mr.. Hoover and from the experts
of the administration Will make their

QUIT MEAT If YOUR

We are o. nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid, says a
well-known authority, who warns us to
be constantly on guard against kidney
trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost TO free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork; they
get sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog
and thus the waste is retained in the
blood TO poison the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel like
humps of lead, and you have singing
pains in the back or the urine is cloudy,
full of sediment, or the bladder is irri-
table, obliging you to seek relief during
the night when you have severe head
aches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleepless-
ness, acid stomach or rheumatism in bad
weather, get from your pharmacist about
four ounces of Jad Salts; take a
tablespoonful in glass of water before
breakfast each morning 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 clogged kidneys,
to neutralize the acids in urine so it is
no longer source of irritation, thus
ending urinary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
iniure; makes a delightful efervescent
Whitewater drink, and nobody can make
4 mistake by taking little occasionally
to keep the kidneys clean and active.
