TAKE SALTS ID
 FLUSH KIDNEYS
Eat less meat if you feel Backachy OK Bladder troubles you-Salts IS
 fine fer Kidneys

Meat forms uric acid which excitea and overworks the kidneys in their efforts to filter it from the system. Regular eat CTS of meat must flush the kidneys occa- sionally. You must relieve them like you relieve your bowels; removing all the acids, waste and poison, else you feel a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dig ziness, your stomach sours, tongue IS coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment; the channels often get irritated, obliging you to get. up two or three times during the night
 To 4eutralize these irritating acids and flush off the body's urinous waste get about four ounces of lad Salts from any pharmacy; take table spoonful in a glass of water before break fast for few days and your kidneys will then act fine and bladder disorders dis- appear. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com bined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate slug gish kidneys and stop bladder irritation. lad Salts is inexpensive; harmless and makes a delightful effervescent lithia-- water drink which millions of men and women take now and then, thus avoiding. serious kidney and bladder diseases.

 This paper, we wish to say frankly now, has no sympathy for the Ger man people. They are reaping what they have allowed themselves to SOW, and everyone of them should be cut down if need be to conquer their he'll ish spirit. We merely contrast the two systems that obtain, one an auto cratic form of rule, the other demo- cratic. the latter of which is dear to the heart of every mother and which is necessary for the perpetuatlon of honor and freedom This war strikes hard against the mother heart, but she is making her sacrifice in this just cause as she has in everything. else since the world began.

"I'm so nervous" How many women say that2 But you don't need to be, and you'd better get over that case of nerves before it is too late.
 Nervousness is very often simply indi- gestion. Because food is not properly digested, liver, kidneys and other organs are not properly nourished. They get weak and fail to carry off the poisoas of the body, and gradually the nerves, be- cause they have to be nourished the same as the rest of the body, become weakened and diseased.
 To get your health back, begin taking Yin Hepatica, the great nature and nerve remedy and universal system purifier. Then the body will regain strength. T was so nervous could hardly bear for anyone to talk" is the way Miss Hazel Lancaster, of Ft. Oglethorpe, Ga, des- cribes her case. And, of course, she was greatly troubled with indigestion.
 Yin Hepatica completely restored her to health, and she never wearies of telling her friends what it did for her. We can tell you of other cases, no less wonderful. We urge you to try it. We have recom- mended it to others and 1t hasn't failed to give relief yet

GOVERNOR BROUGH HIGHLY PRAISES THE
 BUSHEL MOVEM ENT.

Little Rock, Aug. 28, 1918. Hon. c. K. Elliott, State Director of "Give-a-B BusheI' Movement,
 Little Rock, Arkansas.
 My Dear MT. Elliott:
 I have heard, with a great deal of bride and interest, of the great cam paign you and your respective coun- ty chairmen are waging for the Give a-Bushel" movement.
 In my opinion this is one of the i most democratic and helpful move ments that has been launched in con- nection with our present struggle for liberty and democracy. It reaches every farmer and farm home in our state. It typities the spirit of sacri- ficeand dof givingficershrdlucmfwy flee and of giving on the part of all the people. From psychological standpoint it interests people in the success of our cause who have not heretofore been reached. Every farmer and every producer can easily give a bushel of his most abundant crop for the care of the dependent families of our killed and maimed soldiers and sailors. No other movement or vol untary undertaking has been inaug urated for this purpose.
 The ''Give-a- Bushel" movement has the endorsement of President Wilson, Vice-President Marshall, Speaker Champ Clark, the Depart ment of Agriculture and our leading national authorities. It is an Ark ansas project, begun by you and your good wife in Cleveland cuonty during our recent Red Cross campaign, and netting in that county over $5,0OO. It's success in our state will be an everlasting monuments to the patriot ism of Arkansas and the most sub- stantial advertisement our state could possibly obtain. It is proposed to carry this movement into our neighborhood states, thence into ev- cry state in the American Union, and, finally, into our allied countries. It is safe to say, from the reports from practically every county in the state that have come into your office re- cently, that over 500,000 bushels will be contributed in Arkansas, and there is strong probability that the amount will reach 750.000 bushels.
 While those in charge of this move mcnt recognize the effect of the re cent drouth, it must be remembered that our brave boys lover there," who are making the supreme sacrifice, do not complain of winter blizzards and summer drouths, and perform their heroic tasks in the face of every known obstacle. Let the people of Arkansas emulate their example, and the sacrifices we make will be hal owed ny the tact that they are gen

the story of two letters. Each is to a mother who had given her sons in war in behalf of their country.
 This letter which the kaiser caused to be sent recently to German mo- ther whose nine sons have lost their lives in the servicee Of autocracy which enslaved them contrasts strik- ingly with one that President Lincoln wrote Mrs. Bixby, whose five sons were killed in the civil war.
 Here is what the Kaiser caused to be written to this mother:
 "His Majesty, the Kaiser, hears that you have sacrificed nine sons in defense of the Fatherland in the present war. His Majesty is inn mensely gratified at the fact, and in recognition is pleased to send you his photograph, with frame and auto- graph signature"
 And now read the words written to an American mother by President Lincoln:
 "Dear Madam have been shown
 
 in the files of. the war department a statement of the adjutant general of Massachusetts, that you are the mo- ther of five sons who have died glor- iously on the field of battle. 1 feel how weak and fruitless must be any words of mine which should attempt to beguile from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from rendering you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save. l pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your beheave- ment and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly sacrifice upon the altar of freedom"
 Could anything embody more strik- ingly the contrast between the system these two represent than the two let ters? It is said that Frau Meter, who received the Kaiser's letter, has now joined the street beggars in Del members Oldenburg to get living. She is no longer of any use to the efficient" military system that has taken her nine boys. But she has the knowledge that the Kaiser is ssgrati- fied' that they have died in his de- fense. It shows that the system is functioning properly and is still eff cient, but it's cruel efficiency demands also that the mother, who can rem der no further service, be forgotten. So he disnisses her with an auto graph copy of his photograph.
 The one letter is cruel. The other is humane. There can be no doubt that Mrs. Bixby cherished her letter
