EAT LESS MEAT
IF BACK HURTS
Take q glass Of Salts to flush Kidneys
If Bladder bothers you--Drink
lots Of water.

Eating meat regularly eventually pro-
duces kidney trouble in some form or
other, says well-known authority, be-
cause the uric acid III meat excites The
kidneys, they become overworked; get
sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts OF
distress, particularly oackache and mis-
cry in the kidney region; rheumatic twin
ges, severe headaches, acid stomach, con-
stipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness,
bladder and urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid"
neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, get about -four ounces Of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take a tablespoonful in 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
;snd lemon juice, combined with Ethia,
and has been used for generations to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them
to normal activity; also to neutralize the
acids in the urineaso it no longer irri-
tates. thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a GelieiStful effervescent lithia-
water drinl; which millions of men and
women take now aud then to keep the
kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus
serious kidneSH disease.

THREE VITAL FOOD
RULINGS MADE

Three important rulings, included
in which was an order directing that
all cold storage eggs must be brought
out of storage and put on the market
by or before March 1, were made
Tuesday by DR.. A. M. Soule, State
food administrator.
One of the announcements dealt
with the new Hoover order prohib-
iting the killing between this date
and May 1 of any hen Or pullet, and
prohibiting the killing and putting
on sale or shipping any hen or pull,
let between February Is and May
1. The latter clause was ara ,ngec
in order that any such poultry k illed
prior to this date might be dispo sed
of.
DR.. Soule announced that effe.c-
tive on this date the food admins.
tration will rule that every retail
dealer Of whatever nature, who sells
to hotels and restaurants, is to be
classed as wholesale dealer in that
line of business and must secure
license. Heretofore retail dealers
doing a business under 100000 q
year have not been required to get
Federal license.
The conservation of young pouI-
try is in line with the movement Of
the United States Department of
Agriculture to have the people of
the United States refrain from buy
ing or selling hens and pullets be-
tween February 1 and May 1. In re-
gard to the Importance of such rul-
ings, the food administration says:
every hen which is killed and
sold before May 1 represents food
loss to the nation of about 80 eggs.
The total loss of eggs represented
by the customary selling of hens be-
tween February 1 and May 1. In re-
amounts to about 15O,OO0,OOO eggs.
The value of these eggs is about
80 per cent of what the hen is act
ually worth, so that this program
does not entail loss to The poultry
raiser, but an actual gain"

ting the men take charge of every

Reames) who came from the coun-
try, acted we'll and caused great
amusement in the audience.
The pathetic poem by Maria Jane
Hopewell (Rebecca Edmonds) re-
ceived great applause. Julia Jones
(Helen Eakin) was very demure
and shy in telling her experiences
quite in contrast to Faith Snowmore
(Sarah Mundy) and Maude Hope
worth CHelen Haigler). Lydia Owen
was very fetching as a Dutch wo-
man, Martha Weinhauber, whom
Charlie Brown had disappointed in
love.
The exquisite music played by
Lucretia Dewitt (Winona Barks-
daie) was a good accompaniment to
the appearance of the lovely young
ladies, Sydelle Graves and Dorothy
Syfan.
James Coleman and Davis Kerr
were busy taking notes on the meet
ing and in smashing the hearts Of
the ladies. In the latter office they
were somewhat eclipsed by Mr..
Tommy Doolittle (Afthur Klush.)
In this little comedy all players
starred and gave great pleasure to
their friends.
The proceeds of the evening which
amounted to something over seven
ty-fve dollars, will be spent for the
immediate needs Of the high school.
Large dictionaries, song books, and
a. basket ball outfit are under con-
sideration. 1t is not doubted that
the pupils will be as energetic in
finding things to spend this money
for as they were in making it.

Lowndesville, Feb. 25.-Notwith-
standing the gloomy conditions caus-
ed by the war, weather and scarcity
of labor, the farmers in our COM
munity are hopeful for another
year. They are somewhat encourag-
ed that the most of the wheat crop
withstood the severe weather and
bids fair to make good. Oats are
more seriously injured. The few
spring-like days last week were ta-
ken advantage of and much fertili-
zer was hauled. A number of our
most successful farmers are becom-
ing more interested in thoroughbred
stock and are introducing a pure
strain, of high price animals, among
their cattle and swine.

nT. REV DR. JOHN \. MCCORMICK.
N Episcopal bishop OF western Mich
igan, who has just returned from
France, where he has both represented
his church and served as head chap
lain Of the Red Cross, says reports
Of European enthusiasm over the ap-
pearance and performance OF Ameri-
can boys in the war are not over
drawn. and in particular are not made
merely to flatter American pride. He
declares that any one. seeing Ameri-
can troops and comparing them with
European. can readily understand the
praise and the ground for it. He
refused to disparage European al
lies, but added that the public schools
Of the United States. and the infusion
Of college training. are apparent IN
the product new overseas The bishop
gives half a dozen illustrations OF
quick wit and ready achievement OF
American boys TO prove his point
Bishop Mccormick expresses the
conviction that Americans in action
in large numbers viii bring an end
10 the war sooner than many people
imagine. and almost wholly because
of the superior quality OF American
brain in the mixture OF plan and eX-
ecution- It may take a long time to
make Europe behave itself, according
to the large program outlined by
president Wilson. and so may keep
Americans in Europe a considerable
period, but the bishop holds. in com
mon he says with some Europeans
who have seen the quality Of Ameri-
can fighters, that the road to Berlin
will be opened and be Travelled at no
distant day.

TO say that a man is a responsible
l being Is to say that his nature il
designed for burdens To say that
he should be released from respon-
si5ility IS to unman him and make

nature is designed for the lifting Of
the burdens imposed by the knowl-
edge OF truth. And yet some people
are disappointed that the Bible no
where promises complete exemption
from the burdens Of life.
The Christians Advantage.
What then is the Christians ad-
vantage over the non-Christian in
lifting life's burden? Christ said:
Come unto me. my burden IS light,
and in whatsoever realm the Chrls-
tian moves. Christ goes with him and
helms TO lift the burden. Christ's an

and death and destiny makes the

may seem a tremendous burden for
the human mind. But TO deny these
is TO assume burdens q thousand
times weightier.
The Burdens Of Duty.
But the Christians burdens are not
all in the realm OF the intellect. There
are burdens of duty. And many OF
the Christians duties are just what
all men recognize as incumbent upon
humanity. He must be honest. pro-

such things a man deserves no special
credit. A true gentleman needs no
