QUIT MEAT WHEN
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take glass Of Salts II your Back
hurts or Bladder troubles
you.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally
says wellknown authority. Meat
forms uric acid which excites the
kidneys, they become oyerworked
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, sleep
lessness 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 a 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
for generations to flush and stimu-
late the kidneys, also to neutralize
the acids in urine so it no longer
causes irritation, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes delightful effer-
vescent Whitewater drink which
everyone should take now and then
to keep the kidneys clean and active
and the blood pure, thereby avoiding
serious kidney complications.

CARTHAGE, ILL.,, Feb.

The Hancock County Farm Bureau
has been successful in arranging lof
eight short course programs, 10 De
held throughout the county, four
days session at each town. Inc
speakers who have been secured
from outside the county are experts
on their respective subjects and nave
given particular study to the fooc
supply, and 1918 is the year when
every patriotic farmer will redouDle
his efforts to produce more meat
and grain.
These meetings are a good place
to renew friendships, and thresh out
some of the knotty problems and get
new ideas from the speakers and IN
dividuals in the audience.
The first circuit will include AID
rian, Hamilton, Plymouth and Aug
usta the dates being February 5-s. Z,
Mrs. Jennie C. Barlow will spend
one day at each OF the points on
both circuits. Mrs Barlow is mem
Der of the supplementary staff or
the home economics department OF
the University of Illinois, who is CO.
operating in this work because OF the
present emergency. She will be at
each place on both circuits for one
day. and it is planned to have the
women's program separate from the
regular program. Mrs. Barlow's mes
sage has to do first, with the need for
increased use of home grown and
home prepared foods and second
with the necessity for conservation OF
meats, wheat, fats and sugar to win
the war. Her topics are National
Defense" and "Women's Share in the

lie press stated that the camp sur
geons had discovered, among the men
accepted by the local boards. some
with glass eyes, some with cork legs
and some with other obvious disquali-
tications. If such men were found
no disparagement is involved for the
local board surgeons: for it is safe to
assert that such grossly defective per-
sons came from the contingent or
about 10000 men who had never ap-
peared before the local boards, but
had been gathered up by the adJu-
tants general and sent direct to the
camps. There is no ground for sup
posing that the local board surgeons
were either incompetent or careless
to that extent. The spirit of their
practice was to make all intendments
in favor Of the government; but moth
ing permits us to suppose that they
would or did send to camp any men
with cork legs or glass eyes.

YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and Sui
phur Recipe and Nobody
will Know.

The use of Sage and sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to it's nat,
ural color dates back to grandmoths
er's time She used it to keep her
hair beautifully dark, glossy and at
tractive. Whenever her hair took
on that dull. faded, or streaked ap-
pearance, this simple mixture was
applied with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
outof-date Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" you will get this famous old
preparation, improved by the addi-
ton of other ingredients, which can
be depended upon to restore natural
color and beauty to the hair.

But were the surgeon generals
rules for physical examination. as set
forth in the directions to the local
boards, stricter than necessary for Sc
curing efficient fighting men? On
this point the civilian surgeons have
expressed variant opinions. large
majority consider that the physical
requirements are not too eXactlng.
But a considerable number deem the
requirements too strict in many re-
spects, notably as to the weight and
height relation, teeth, eyes and feet,
and contend that the regulations as
strictly applied tend to exclude many
capable and efficient men. For ex-
ample, one board cited a case of ex-
clusion for flat-foot of a man who had
for many consecutive seasons endured
the hardships Of a guides vocation in
the Canadian forests; and the prevail
ence of flat-foot among sturdy negroes
of the south was frequently COM
mented on.
Was there any extensive attempt at
deception of the local board surgeons
by registrants called for examination?
Few Attempts at Deception.
1t is gratifying to report that falsi-
fication was attempted to only slight
and negligible extent. Here and
there a board reports locality as
showing fifty per cent Of attempted
Justification: but these instances were
sporadic, and represent only some To-
cal obliquity of morals.
OF the various grounds for rejec-
ton, which were the most common?
It must be left to the future to study
accurately the valuable mass of data
