WAR WORKERS.ARE
 GUESTS OF HORSE SHOW MANAGERS

While preparations for the open ing of the Horse Show at Madison Square Garden today were receiving the finishing touches the men respon- sible for this week s great exhibition in aid of the United War Work cam paign together with the judges and some of the prominent exhibitors, in- eluding many army officers, were the guests of John McE. Bowman at a Horse Show breakfast yesterday in the music room of the Biltmore Ho- tel.
 The sporting significance of the oc- casion was heightened by the pres ence of real live thoroughbred pony, caparisoned in red, white and blue, that stood on a strip of tanbark sur rounded by flower bedecked hurdles to reproduce a horse show jump in miniature.
 MT. Bowman, with Judge William H. Moore seated on his right and Robert A. Fairbairn on his left, oc- cupied the hosts chair. After propos- ing a toast to "The Great Leveller, the Horse,' which was drunk stand ing, he warned every one that there would be no speechmaking, but soon afterward forgot his own injunction by asking James w.

We are a nation of meat eaters and our blood is filled with uric acid, says 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 tis- sues clog and thus the waste is re- tained in the blood to poison the en- tire system.
 When your kidneys ache and feel like Jumps of lead, and you have stinging pains in the back or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or the bladder is irritable, obHging you to seek relief during the night; when you have severe headaches nervous and dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or rheumatism in bad weather, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts; take tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast each morning and in a 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 neutra- lize the acids in urine so it is nc longer a source of irritation, thus ending urinary and bladder dis orders.

 German cavalry has played a small part on the western front, but I had occasion to remember that srnaii detachment of mounted men pene- trated as far south as the Forest of Fontainbleu, which is away beyond Paris, in the first great onslaught in 1914. They were all captured by the French, who could not believe that they had advanced so far beyond the main body, and who would have ex- ecuted them as spies but for my in tercession at the urgent request of the German government"

been most influential in the uphold ing of the high morale of the men.
 MT. Fosdick elaborateA on the seven divisions of war works for which the drive for funds is being conducted this week. The American Library As soctation has been,- he said, a factor in keeping the boys interested. The A. l.. A. receive requests for books that would seem almost improbable. One enterprising young Sammy, with an eye to the future, wrote for books on plumbing and steamfitting; an- other wanted books which would help him in his course of economies and banking which he had started at the time of his enlistment. Still another wanted Hamlet and Bacon's Essays to carry about with him. A, reading army was Mr. Fosdick's term.
 Dearest of all to the fighting men is the Salvation Army" he said. Their doughnuts and pumpkin pies have wlon place in their hearts that nothing else have reached. Although the smallest of all the activities they have gone fearlessly about their work of cheer"
 | The support of the people of Bridge port, contributions that will bring the quota over the top was Mir. Fosdicks plea. The boys, he said, cannot come home for many weary months. Give in order that they may be kept con- tented and come back as they are now, as they have been kept by the seven sisters as they are called by the War and Navy Departments
 B. P. Buckingham was chairman of the meeting, and introduced the speakers, B. R. Bigelow recited a poem ''Let the Kaiser Live" with such fervor that the audience applauded until MT. Bige1ow gave an original salute to the flag.
 The Manufacturers chorus of 40 male voices sang several selections This was the first appearance of this chorus outside of their own meetings and their singing was one of the fea lures of the meeting.
 Rev. Matthew Judge opened the meeting with prayer, and Rev. Alex.

Sitting in dugout on the western front, in total darkness, without food for twenty-four hours, under constant fire from the heavy artillery of the enemy, covered with, dirt and cooties, and with most of their comrades dead or wounded, a small group of Ameri- can soldiers were singing, This is the end of perfect day. The spirit of our American boys was typified in the above remark by Raymond B. Eos dick, chairman of the War and Navy War Camp Activities, in his speech at the rally held in Polls theatre yes terday afternoon. MT. Fosdick has just returned from a three months trip in France. He visited all the billets of the soldiers and the front line trenches, not a camp or group but was examined, and according to his remarks, never in the history have such a fine army, a group of men with such a fine morale and with such high ideals been gathered to- gether for a common purpose. "The only demand of the sick and wounded tn the hospitals;" said MT. Fosdick, 'is when can we get back to the front lines?"
 Secretary Baker, in cleaning out his old desk the other day, found a report I had made at the time our men were fighting on the Mexican | border in 1916. I stated at that time that the army was completely demoralized, the morale of the men l | peditionary Forces are clean, physic- ally and morally. No body of men in the history of the world has been in such perfect condition. In all my travels through France I did not see one intoxicated man.
 When President Wilson appointed a commission at the beginning of the war to look after tne training camp 1 activities, the first thing decided was to provide such an amount of activity during the leisure hours of the soldier that he would have no time for the former demoralizing influences to gain a hold over him. The Y. M. c. A., the National Catholic War Council and the Jewish Welfare Board were called into conference, as their work was principally providing entertainment for young men and boys The estab lishment of huts and athletics of these organizations is now well known When we first called in the Y.
