SALTS IS FINE FOR
 KIDNEYS, QUIT MEAT
FLUSH THE KIDNEYS AT ONCE WHEN BACK HURTS OR BLADDER BoTHERS-MEAT
 FORMS URIC ACID.

No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally. says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which clogs the kidney pores so they sluggshly filter or strain only part of the waste and pojsons from the blood, then you get sick. Nearly all rheumatism. headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, constipation, dizziness, sIeeplessness bladder disorders come from sluggish kidneys.
 The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts, or if the urine is cloudy. offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or at tended by sensation of scalding. get about four ounces of lad Salts from any reliable pharmacy and take a ta- blespoonful in a glass of water be- fore breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This fa- nous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and has been used for genera tions to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to activity, also to neu- tralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder disorders.
 lad Salts is inexpensive and can not injure; makes a delightful effer- vescent lithia-water drink which all regular meat eaters should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and the blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney complications.

erations in a little more than half the time. The Canadians have taken part in offensive operations a great deal because of this quality.
 I was wounded at the battle of Givenchy The first battalion made an attack at o'clock in the aftern1on, June 15, 1915. They took three lines
 of trenches and were driven back. We were supporting them and at g that night we were sent in. We were fighting round mine orator. It was more like a snowbaH fight with hand grenades than anything else can think of-the Germans on one side of the crater and our boys on the
 other. We were driven back after we
 had taken one line of trenches.
 They sent me to small hospital at
 Farnboro in Hants which the Elm press Eugenie paid for and financed It was a part of her house which she had arranged for the accommodation
 of eight officers. ..and the place was
 managed by Lady Douglas Haig. The Empress entertained us at dinner sey- eral times and tried to make our pe- riod of convalescing less burdensome. | She was much interested in the Ca nadians but surprised that I could not speak French. She said she l would die happy if she could live to see the Germans thrashed.

of the Canadian troops is the stimu- Jus on the North American continent to individuality and initiative. The reports of the way our men have fought prove 2 marke6 superiority ever the troops of the rest of the AL lies. Some people think of the new methods of warfare as case of mud and misery. I had that impression once myself But on the contrary there is great opportunity and great need for individual initiative and &C., ,tion. s,.e
 When the troops are committed to an attack the opeers necessarily lose control of them temporarily until the objective is taken, The troops who all their lives have been used to de- ciding and acting for themselves are better equipped to grasp the situation as whole. And they get the results with their men.
 To illustrate how this quality of the Canadian troops was recognized by the higher commands: on my way back to an English hospital I got ac- quainted with young Englishman. This boy got wounded the same day I did. He had been in France ten months. I had been there six months up to that date. His battalion had never been over the top, whereas my battalion had been in four major op-

sPA1N,s RREplcAMENr.

That Spain must undergo some i'm portant readjustments is indicated by the situation in which it finds itself as the result of the sinking of its coastwise steamer by a German sub marine after it had been plundered, and the refusal of clearance papers to it's ships in American ports until the embargo on American goods pur- chaged in Spain for shipment to France is lifted.
 Spain is suffering at the present time from too much German influence The country has been filled with Ger ward in working for the interests of the fatherland, and it is to the in- fiuence which they have ceen able tc bring to bear upon certain factions ir that country that it was possible tc have the delivery of the large order of blankets which General Pershine had placed there held up under the excuse that the railroad systems had broken down.
 Just at this time Germany proceeds to commit another outrage on Spain's shipping which causes greater resent ment than ever because the vessel was engaged in coastwise traffic The re- suit is that Spain demands that its ships be respected in the future, all of which may be assured by Germany without any intention of keeping the promises, but when this country shuts off the supply of goods which Spain draws from this country until it sends to France the blankets purchased there Spain must realize that it has a double cause for shaking off the tentacles of the German octopus. i has been allowing Germany to play it's game on Spanish territory too long for it's own good.

eERMANrs INTERIOR TROUBLES

It doesn't make any difference which way Germany moves it is sus- pected. There can be no surprise in this in view of the conduct of which it has been guilty in the past few years. Thus it was but natural that it should be suspected that the labor troubles and strikes reported. as oc- curing in that country should be look ed upon as purely reports put forth by the imperial government for the purpose of influencing opinion else- where and making the people in the entente countries believe that the peo- pie of the central powers were anxious for peace that the enemy nations might thus be called off from their war activities 50 that an advantage might be gained by Germany and it's allies. If revolution founded solely upon rumor could be made to swerve the entente from their war plans much benefit might be secured.
 That the imperial government was wrongly suspected in this relation is to be gathered from the measures which have been taken in German cit ies to put an end to the uprising. The placing of cities and certain districts under military control makes it evil dent that there is at least some ground for reported labor troubles and that Germany is actually confronted with unrest among it's working classes. Naturally the government is opposed to a general strike or any trouble which will handicap 1t in the war and it can be expected to take drastic steps to put down anything of the kind. If, however. the people of that country are really serious in their stand it presages no little trouble for Germany even though it can place much dependence upon the control which the military possesses.

THE SHIP CONTROL BOARD.

In. order to bring about improved conditions on our transportation sys- tems and give the country the benefit by eliminating serious handicaps the railroads of the country were placed under a centralized control for the period of the war. It has been con- ceded to be a step which ought to pro- duce results. but it is not solely with land transportation that we have been bothered. There has been a huge handicap in the lack of ships and the manner in which goods which were destined to our troops and our allies have been tied up on this side of the water. We have likewise been con- fronted with the task of getting our soldiers to the posts in Europe where they are needed.
 It must therefore be regarded as a step in the right direction when a board of three who are experts in shipping matters is named to control and coordinate Americas part in the transatlantic shipping problem. Hence forth we can expect that this board will be able to so adjust this part of the transportation task that all goods for export will not be forwarded to enc port when there are others capa- hle of handling a certain amount of them, that terminals will not be crowd ed with freight, that delays in loading and unloading will be overcome and that the whole business will be put on a basis of efficiency which has so long been needed. Unless the work which the ships must be relied upon to ac- complish is effectively and expedi- tiously done the looked for results ot government control of the roads will to a certain extent be knocked in the head.

Q tremendous loss of respect for Ger many by the rest of the world. What ever pride it takes in it's accomplish ments is only the pride of the savage and assassin.
 Sir Eric Geddes of the British ad- miralty doesn't deny that the ruthless activity of the submarines has, caused great destruction to shipping but he maintains that the underwater boats are held even in the period when those who are responsible for them predicted that they would win the war, and as time goes on their achievements are bound to grow less. They will continue to be factor with which the allies must contend. both as to hunting them and as to con structing new ships to take the place of those destroyed Improvements are however, being made in both of these directions every day which means that their effectiveness is going to de- crease instead Of increase.

They are made of soft, colorful fabrics, the lining may be added or dispensed with. they man age to blend with any kind of separ- ate skirt that the wardrobe affords, and they permit woman to remove her coat at luncheon in the afternoon. which was a permission not given by the separate white shirtwaist.
 The universality of the topcoat and the decreasing popularity of the tail ored suit are other factors that pro- mote the growth and development of this blouse of the hour, which, after all, is return to primitive things.

FUR COLLARS LARGE.

If there is special emphasis placed on any part of the coat, it is the coll lar. Fur collars are truly. capes that reach almost to the waist line and cover the ears when worn high. Oth- CT styles wrap about the neck and fasten anywhere-directly in front, on either side or both sides. Buckles, large buttons. and tassels are used to fasten the collar. Shawl collars are frequently seen which fasten across the front, turning the fur inward. A waistcoat of fur is one of the new ideas produced this season.

An ordinary china teacup is half filled with cottonseed oil, the little floating wick is placed in this. A match is then touched to the upright wick. While the sides of the cup prevent the direct light of the flame from being visible to the person in bed. a pleasant dim light is cast over the room.

It is much cas- fer to count holes than it is rows on the work itself, and it is almost irn- possible to keep count in ones head, especially when people are talking. The punch system is particularly helpful when you are knitting a large piece of work like a sweater. Also keep a crochet hook with knitting to pick up dropped stitches or to bind off
