EAT LESS MEAT
IF BACK HURTS
Take a. glass of Salts to flush
Kidneys. if Bladder bothers
you-Drink lots of water

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says a well known authority
because the uric acid in meat excites
the kidneys. they become overworked:
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 liv-
er. sleeplessness and urinary irrita-
ton.
The moment your back hurts or
kidneys aren't acting right, or if
bladder bothers you, get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any good
pharmacy; take a spoonful in a glass
OF water before breakfast for few
days and your kidneys VIII then act
fine. This famous juice is made from
the acid Of grapes and lemon Juice,
combined with ithia, and has been
used for generations to flush clogged
kidneys and stimulate them to nor
NAL activity; also to neutralize the
acids in the -urine-so it. no longer ir-
ritates, thus. ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes delightful effervescent lithia-
water. drink which millions OF men
and women take now and then to keep
the kidneys and urinary organs clean.

HIT BY FLU

The flu is making its inroaus aniuug
the men OF the city police department.
Beginning with Chief Ellis, who gave
up Saturday and who is quite i'll at
his home, eight other men OF the de-
partment were off duty Sunday be-
cause of illness. In a number OF cases
the men have been compelled to be off
part time because OF serious illness in
their families, and a number are work
ing overtime each day. to keep the po-
lice affairs running at par.

gone forward with the realization that this is
their job-that it is a part of the war game and
that they are volunteers in a glorious cause.
Theirs it may be to save mother to her chill
dren perhaps going into that home, giving a
brood of children nourishing food and leaving the
surroundings clearly, may mean the saving of
many little lives.
The call continues and it must be met This is
something that must not fall on the few. It may
be your turn to ask help tomorrow. For it must
be remembered that the richest of us today are
dependent on the poorest of us-we cannot do
without one another. We must ask for the help
we need and we must give the help we are asked
for.
When the conference Of the War Camp Com
n1unity Service was held in Pensacola, the rea-
son given for holding the assemblage here was
that Pensacola was known throughout the coun-
try for its wonderful community spirit, and that
as this spirit was the very soul of the work, the
conference had been called in Pensacola that the
workers coming here might see what the COM
munity spirit at its best could accomplish.
Dr. Mossman, assistant surgeon Of the Public
Health Service, whose life work brings him in
faces today, has declared that in all his public
work he has never witnessed such wonderful
response to a need.
The thing that has most impressed him here,
according to his statement, has been the
willingness with which men and women are CIV
ing themselves, as well as their money.
TN most situations such as this said DR..
Mossman, in discussing the work in Pensacola, ga
busy feels that a good-sized check cancels his
obligations. Here men and women are giving the
checks and giving the personal service, too.'
Pensacola is proud of the fact that her people
have never failed in any crisis They are meet
ing this in such way to give courage and
hope to all concerned.
There is only one danger now. And that is
that the volunteer work may slacken, through
the feeling that the need has been met. The need
cannot be fully met until the disease is elini-
mated. Each day will bring new needs. And the
needs will demand new workers. No one should
hold back. All should feel it duty to respond
And through this response Pensacola will over
come this dilemma as others Of equal gravity
have been overcome.

CZECHOSLOVAKS.

| Many ask who are the Czechs and where is
their home. Czechoslovaks are the Slavs of
North Western Austria Hungary, consisting os
two branches, namely Czechs (Bohemians) and
Slovaks. Czechs live in Bohemia, Moravia and
100000. Slovaks, 100000 in number, inhabit
Slovakia, in Hungary, which is everywhere con-
tiguous with Moravia and Silesia.
These Czechoslovak lands measure $4,000
square miles, and have 12,50O,O0O inhabitants of
which 100000 Czechoslovaks. These
Czechoslovaks struggled against German and
Magyar violence for one thousand years. They
were an Independent state till the Middle of the
XVIIIth Century when the Hapsburgs destroyed
the last vestige of their independence. Czecho-
slovaks, however, never yielded, always insisting
upon their rights. During this war they began
terrible revolt against Austria-Hungary. They
are dying on the gallows in thousands for their
liberty. Their men of military age fled from the
Austrian army to Russia, France, and Italy,
where they organized independent Czechoslovak
armies, which fight under the Allied High Com
mand, for the common cause of liberty and for
the independence of the Czechoslovak State
They are marching through Siberia, forming the
so-called eastern front, where they are engaged
in death struggle with the German and Magyar
brutality and the bolshevik treason
Czechoslovaks are giving their lives for their
independence, for the great ideals of humanity,
as proclaimed by President Wilson, and are hop
ing for an Independent state embracing the pres
emit boundaries of Bohemia, Moravia and Slo-
vakia.
