FLUSH KIDNEYS
WITH SALTS #
BACK IS ACHING
Noted authority says we eat too
much meat, which clogs
Kidneys.
Take glass of Salts when
Kidneys hurt or Bladder
bothers you.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally,
says a well-known authority. Meat
forms uric acid which eXcites the
kidneys, they become overworked
from the strain, get sluggish and
fail to filter the waste and poisons
from the blood, then we get sick.
Nearly all rheumatism, headaches,
liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness,
sleeplessness and urinary 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
attended by a sensation of scalding,
stop eating meat and get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy; take a tablespoonful in glass
of water before breakfast and in a
few days your kidneys will act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
late the kidneys, also to neutralize
the acids in urine so 1t no longer
causes irritation, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes a delightful effer-
vescent lithia-water drink which
everyone should take now and then
to keep the kidneys clean and active
and the blood pure, thereby avoiding
serious kidney complications.

SOLDIERS FAMILY
CHARGE NEGLECT
Body Shipped From Camp
Meade to Sunbury by Ex-
press, Without Escort

Sunbury, Pa, Jan. 10. - Sunbury,
noted for its quick response to the
nations call to colors, in every con-
flict since colonial days, is surprised
at what they assert was either in
difference or, too much official red
tape of Federal military authorities
in. their failure to send home the
body of Sergeant Herbert E. Kauf-
man, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Max Kauf-
man, u soldier in the National Army
at Camp Meade, Md, who was killed
by n train at Newport News, Va,
last Saturday. The body was not
received until Thursday night, and
when it did come, no military escort
accompanied it. Instead 1t was ship
ped by express. The only other in
formation, other than telling that it
was on its way, was instructions that
the family should pay no char--es."
First news of Kaufman's ~ath
was received when a telegram came
TO the family last Sunday evening,
telling of his having been killed by
train and asking for shipping in
structions. These were wired the
same night.
Kaufman, who was 20 years old,
with his four brothers, owned
large clothing store in the business
section here. He was n young man
of high character and habits, and
belonged to the local lodge of Elks
and the Tau Pha Sigma, a leading
young mems club.
According to Ely Blow, secretary
of the Sunbury Business Mems AS
sociation and a merchant, who is
married to Kaufman's sister, the
case will be taken to Washington,
with a demand for an investigation.

Brothers 1t was reported that they
nave no fuel in their bins and it was
doubtful when a shipment would be
received. A number of churches in
the borough are dispensing with
some of the services as a coal con-
servation measure. AT the Trinity

communion has been postponed un-
til future date. The other churches
who have eliminated some services
are the st. Johns Lutheran and

A HISTORIC ToLLGATE RAzED
Landmark in Shenandoah Valley
Recalls Civil War Incidents

Recalls Civil War Incidents
Winchester, Va.-The razing of
the Hillman tollgate house takes
away historic landmark in the low
err Shenandoah Valley. 1t was con-
structed in 1910, before there were
railroads in this section, and it was
part of the thoroughfare from
Tennessee to Alexandria, Va, and
often twenty to thirty wagons could
be seen in q line making the trip to
and from the boats at Alexandria.
The first toll was collected at Gate
No. 1 by Simeon Hillman, and he
continued to collect toll until his
death in 1860. From 1860 to 1862
the gate was kept by his widow,
Charlotte Hillman, when, on account
of war conditions. the gate was
abandoned until 1865. The house
was struck by a shell just before
the battle of Kernstown.
IT was at this gate that Charlotte
Hillman held up General Sheridan
and his staff. The general paid the
regular toll for himself and his staff
followed his example.
But" said the general as he
passed through, II cannot vouch
for my army"
When the soldiers came up Mrs.
Hillman raised the pole, but stood
at her post all day long and kept
tally and after the war she sent the
bill to Washington and it was
promptly paid.
General Sheridan passed through
this gate again on his famous ride
from Winchester. General Stone
wall Jackson, in his valley cam
paign, frequently passed through it,
always paying toll.

Plans for the rebuilding of the

bridge, and is inadequate to meet the
increasing traffic demands. While the
new structure is being erected the
old one will be kept in use.

Birds and Reptiles Must
Have Favorite Dainties

There is no more extensive me-
nagerie in the world than the New
York. Geological Park, which. COM
prises $50 acres of land and water.
There are to be found 5000 speci-
mems of birds, mammals and reptiles
on exhibition in comfortable build
ings, yards, dens and cages.
With few exceptions this large
family is fed once a day. To pro-
vide food for such q hungry army,
with such differing tastes, is prob
lem. Especially is this true under
present conditions, for the war has
brought change in the diet of some
of the animals in the zoo. Their
daily bill of fare may be said to eX-
tend from "a" to a." as the list
of supplies distributed by the cook
begins with apples and ends with
zwieback.
A detailed list of the foods con-
sumed in n year by these boarders
would be a long one, but mention
may be made of some of the prod
ucts used. Fifty bushels of apples,
$50 lunches of bananas, so pine
apples, 80 pounds of raisins,. 20 boxes
of oranges, ESQ pounds of grapes,
40 dozen peaches, 10 dozen pears,
are the delicacies relished by ro-
dents, monkeys and birds, 80 water
melons being enjoyed by the tor
| toises. The best hay obtainable
forms the staff of life for the hoofed
animals, being consumed in large
quantities.
The pelicans, herons, sea lions and
some of the fur-bearing animals con-
sumo large quantities of fish, an ag-
gregate of $4,000 pounds, large and
small, and of various kinds, being
required
The carnivorous animals are in the
main fed on horseflesh, beef being
at present too high-priced for gem
eral use. There are delicate appe-
tites which must be satisfied among
the boarders. The small birds re-
| quire 100 pounds of dried flies and
10 pounds of mosquitoes. Certain
other birds. and the lizards, thrive
on 100000 meal worms, 1000
pounds of middlings, 1000 pounds
| of rapeseed and 100 pounds of poppy
seed. Zwieback, ground and mixed
with other things, is fed to hum
ming birds. 1000 pounds of this
product being used.
The kitchen connected with tho
zoo is equipped with ranges. hot
water supply. .kettles. pots, pans,
tables, meat blocks, double boilers
and ice box; in fact, any hotel chef
would feel at home with such an
extensive and useful outfit. A
slaughter house is located in the
park, and also a hospital-the finest
OF It's kind--provided with wards for
animals which must be quarantined
