Uncle Sam, after considering how he could make most readily avail able this source. brought into being the l.. S. Working Boys Reserve
 What the Reserve Is
 The U. s. Working Boys Reserve is registered army of patriotic youths between the ages of sixteen and twenty-one, organized under the U. s. Department of Labor to help the nation where most needed to win the war in field and factory. Every boy physically fit, of proper age, is eligible for this non-military civilian army To enroll, the young man ap plies to his Federal State Director, fills out an enrolment card, obtains the consent of the parent, takes the oath of service and receives cer- tificate bearing the great seal O. the United States and an enrolment badge. He can serve his country in three separate units of the Re serve. If he goes into the agricultur- T unit, he will probably work on l farm from a camp, or live in the farmers family. and after six weeks of satisfactory service he will re ceive a Federal badge bearing the great seal of the United States. Ii he works in an industry which is essential in helping to win the war he enters the industrial unit, and gains the Federal bronze badge wheh he has served ten weeks sub
 equent to enrolment. The reserve recommends that all boys who are 1t school remain there and use their spare time in preparing themselves vOcatiOnally for some essential occu patton. The boy who thus trains himself and goes into active service n war-essential occupation as 2 member of the vocational unit, is lwarded the Federal Bronze badge on aking employment.

PROVING A GREAT HELP

 Ways.

In the last mail the Empire re | ceived from the Department of La Dor at Washington a. booklet on Making Boy Power Count" and how Young men of America are helping in the field and factory to win the war Each state has what i is known as the State Director of the r. s. Boys Working Reserve Alaska is not included in the print. ed list of directors given. William s. Hall, national director, gives the following interesting account of the work:
 Uncle Sam has gone to war in self | defense. With his ships ordered from the free seas. his vessels de stroyed, and his people wantonly mur dered, he was compelled either tc submit or fight He has sprung tc 1 the side of his allies to take up the gauge of battle. If Germany wins eventually she will impose her will on the civilized world, and the prin ciple5 for which our forefathers had fought and bled will perish from the face of the earth.
 For thirty years Germany has been organizing every resource, human a. well as material, for war Her men trained, her factories, her mines her harbors, her railroads, have all been planned so as to make effec tive all of her power in the conflict that was intended to make her dicta- tor of the world. She has taught the countries against which she is fighting that they too must make war with every ounce of human and material power in order to match her wonderfully co-ordinated fighting machine.
 Uncle Sam has assumed a sacred trust The entire civilized world looks to him not to fail ill defending the principles with which to insure the happiness of mankind for cen turies to come With more than one-third of the worlds weath, with 'ncalculable material resources, Un- cle Sam finds that his supply of la DOT is limited and cannot be ap- preciably increased Human indus try, that is labor, alone can sustain
 he fighters at the front. Labor must must be supplied continuously and at the point where it will pro luce the maximan benefit for the nation The shortage of man-poWer must be met by redistribution. Idlers must become producers and he worker in a non-essential indus try must be induced to take up some thing that is helpful to winning the war Labor must be drawn from sources that have never been utiliz- ed before. Uncle Sam takes inven-
 ory and finds that the most prom sing supply from which to draw is from the five million young men of the nation between the ages of six teen and twenty-one About two mil lion of these are either idle or are engaged in reproductive activities for a substantial part of the year.

MEAT CAUSE OF
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take Salts to flush kidneys

If you must have your meat every

salts occasionally, says a noted authori-
ty who tells us that meat forms uric
acid which almost paralyzes the kidneys
in their efforts to expel it from the
blood. They become sluggish and weak
en- then you suffer with a dull misery
in the kidney region. sharp pains in the
back or sick headache, dizziness, your
stomach sours. tongue is coated and
when the weather is. bad you have rheu-
matte twinges. The urine gets cloudy.
full of sediment, the channels often get
sore and irritated, obliging you to seek
relief two or three times during the
night.
To neutralize these irritat ting acids. TO
cleanse the kidneys and flush off the
body's urinous waste get four ounces Of
Jad Salts from any pharmacy here:
take a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys will then act ffe. 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 sluggish kidneys.
also TO ucutralize the acids in urine 50
it no longer irritates, thus ending blad-
dor weakness.

Many persons write in for a number
plate bearing good poker hand. such
as a full house. three mines and a pair Of
Fights, or four of n kind. Others want
a plate bearing consecutive numbers like
1867. Others want the consecutive num-
bers to run backward. Men write in for
plates bearing numbers that correspond
with the year Of their birth. For ms
lance, a man born in 1876 Will ask for
plate number 1876. Then there is the
man who wants a number that ends with
the years Of his age. If he was So years
old he wants the number plate to end
with So.
There are some who want the plate
bearing the street number Of their home
or Of their place of business. Another
set asks for number 100 or 900 or TO-

particular combination Of figures. They
want TO be individual and distinctive.

supply dePots. and other structures en-

the lines
This IS the first American transport
carrying troops abroad that has been
sunk by German submarine. Nearly
100000 men have been transported to
France without the loss of single life.
One transport-the Antilles-was sunk
while returning to the United states with
the loss Of seventy lives.
An investigation determined that the
Antilles was insufficiently conveyed and
as result Admiral Fletcher. in charge
Of conveys, was relieved Of that duty.
After the sinking of the Antilles ord
ers were issued to strengthen conveys.
This is Blow Feared.
The sinking OF the Tuscania with It's
toll of soldier lives have dealt the blow
which the American people have dreaded
and of which officials here have been in
fearsome expectation for several
months.
TIL United States began Transporting
troops TO France last July. since which
time there has been an ever increasing
stream of American soldiers passing
overseas. Secretary Baker recently in
dictated tho number when he said mat
there would be 100000 men IN France
early in 1915"
Until the Tuscania was sunk not
single soldier bound to France had been
lost through a submarine attack. Sub
marines have lain in wait for American
transports from the start but have been
cheated of their prey by the vigilance of
American naval destroycrs forming the
conveys.
U-Boat Brushes Told.
Secretary Daniels has detailed some
OF the brushes between conveys and
lurking submarines, though the accounts
appeared to have been somewhat exag-
gerated.
Allied naval authorities have conced-
cd that the navy department has done
remarkably we'll in conveying so many
transports to France without the loss Of
of a single man until this disaster.
