POSTAL SERVICE
TO GERMANY NOW
MADE POSSIBLE

A system whereby persons re-
siding in the United States who
have friends or relatives in coun-
tries now under German control
may correspond with them, has
been established by the Red Cross
and 1t is reported that about twenty
Moliners have already availed
them selves of the opportunity to
write to relatives. Postal service
to such countries has practically
all been stopped since this nation S
entrance into the war but by means
of the Red Cross system Americans
on this side of the water may soon
write to those in German prison
camps and to relatives living in
German countries.
NJ ]. Duryea has been named to
supervise this service in the city
and those desiring to write are pro-
vided with application blanks,
which after having the message
written on and the necessary Ques-
lions answered are forwarded to
Washington. There the letters are
read and rewritten to prevent any
valuable information from reaching
the enemy. From there they go to
a neutral country and then are sent
to the destination.
Thus far most of the mail has
gone to Belgium. Only letters are
handled in this manner and money
and packages are forbidden. This
personal communication system is
another service undertaken by the
Red Cross and for which they re
ceiVe no return.

WOMAN Gets
TIRED or FARM
Seeks Gayer Life With Man Other
Than Her Husband and Comes
60 Grief In Moline.

Farm life is not such a pleasant
thing as it is painted according to
Bertha Conrad, who at present is
an inmate OF the Moline city jail.
Bertha likes excitement The farm
was too dull. Suspicious OF the Mo-
line police were aroused yesterday
afternoon and the woman was
placed under arrest. Roy Hirsh-
baum, in whose company She was,
is also behind the bars. 4 viola
ton of the Mann act is suspected
by the authorities and a stolen au-
tomobile is involved, too.
Bertha claims that she has a hu5-
band who is farmer up az Cass-
vile, Wis, and that she is the
mother OF a year-old child. Roy
Hirschbaum happened along, it ap-
pears, and farm life suddenly lost
all favor in her eyes. They pro-
ceeded this far and here came to
grief
Hirschbaum is 90 years old and
now states that he is tired of the
woman's company and wishes he
was rid of her. Mrs. Conrad has
not had much TO say except that
her husband is a brute and has
continually abused her. The auto
mobile, which. it is said, belongs
to the young mans father, is now
in the hands of the police, Il con
veyed the couple from Cassyiile to
Moline. The youth claims that he
sent the woman back home about
a week ago, but when she reached
Maquoketa, Iowa, she stopped, go
ing back and rejoined him. She
claims when she arrived at MaquO-
keta he came after her and brought
her to Moline.
The couple is being held pending
word from authorities in Wisconsin.
Chief DeJaeger may play the peace
maker, and if it is found no laws
have been violated the situation
will be amicably settled-proyided
all agree.

CLEANS KIDNEYS
III Your Back Hurts or Bladder
BOthers You. Drink Lots Of
Water.

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a
lot of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you
keep your bowels clean. by flush
ing them with a mild, harmless
salts which removes the body's
urinous waste and stimulates them
TO their normal activity. The func-
ton of the kidneys is to filter the
blood In "a hours they strain from
it 500 grains of acid and waste, SO
we can readily understand the vital
importance of keeping the kidneys
active.
Drink lots of water-yon can't
drink too much; also get from any
pharmacist about four ounces OF
a glass of water before breakfast
each morning for a few days and
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 clean and stimulate
clogged kidneys; also to neutralize
the acids in urine so il no longer is
a source of irritation, thus ending
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot
injure; makes a delightful effer-
vescent lithia-water drink which
everyone should take now and then
to keep their kidneys clean and
active Try this, also keep up the
water drinking. and no doubt you
will wonder what became OF your
kidney trouble and backache.-
