only those who would agree to share
their copy Of the Mail with some other

rigid inquiry would be instituted in

later | picked up another paper and

Since the occupation OF Roumania
Germany has received from that terri

statement is made IN dispatch from
the official Wolff Bureau, dated Berlin,

There have been repeated reports in
the domestic and foreign press regarding
the distribution between Germany
and Austria-Hungary OF the supplies

mented on variOusly according to the
respective political tendency of the
newspapers.
"An explanation, therefore, seems

Germany has received 630, 900 and

For the correct appreciation OF
these figures, II is necessary to con-

Germany and Austria Hungary is as

EAT LESS MEAT
IF BACK HURTS
Take a glass of Salts to
Flush Kidneys if bladder
botherS you.

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some
form or other. says a well known
authority, because the uric acid
in meat cXciteS the kidneys, they
become overwOrked; get sluggish,
clog up and cause all sorts Of dis
tress, particularly baCkache and
misery in the kidney region: rheu-
matlo twinEes, severe headaches,
acid stomach, constipation. torpid
liver. sleeplessneSS, bladder, and
urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or
kidneys aren't acting right or II
bladder bothers you, get about four
ounces OF Jad Salts from any good
pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in
a glass OF water before breakfast
for a 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 has been used for
generations 10 flush clogGed kid
news and stimulate them 10 nor
NAL activity; also to neutralIZe the
acids In the urine so II no longer
irritates, thus ending bladder dis
orders.
lad Salts cannot injure anyone;
n makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which millions
OF men and women take now and
then to keep the kidneys and uri-
nary organs clean, thus avoiding
serious kidney disease.
