cites the kidneys, they become over

cause all sorts of distress, particu-
larly backache and misery in the kid
ney region; rheumatic twinges, Sc
we're headaches. acid stomach, con-
stipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness,
bladder and urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or
kidneys aren't acting right, or If
bladder bothers you, get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any good
pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a
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 and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush
riogged kidneys and stimulate them
TO normal activity; also to neutralize
the acids in the urine so 1t no longer
irritates. thus ending bladder dis
orders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which millions of
men and women take now and then
to keep the kidneys and urinary
organs clean, thus avoiding serious
kidney disease.

BETTER THAN cALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered Dr..
Edwards Olive Tablets are
a Harmless Substitute.

Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the substi.
tute for calomel = are mild but sure
laxative. and their effect on the liver Is
almost instantaneous. They are the result
of DR.. Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
His efforts to Danish it brought out these
little olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the good
that calomel does, but have no bad after
effects They don't injure the teeth like
strong liquids or calomel. They take hold
of the trouble and quickly correct it Why
cure the liver at the expense of the teeth?
Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the
gums. So do strong liquids. 1t is best not
to take calomel. but to let Dr.. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place.

The war estimates for The fiscal year
ending with next June ranged all the
way from tweniy-eight 20 thirty-two
billions Of dollars. Even II the colossal
fighting had gone on there never was
any chance that the Government would
spend in this fiscal year. ihirty-two
billions Of dollars. The clear-bralned
Secretary Of the Treasury saw the
truth plainly. It was that the indus
trial machinery Of the country could
not produce so much war material as
that II it could not be produced there
would be no need to pay for it.
But at that, the highest estimate was
for twelve months Of grinding out war
material al top speed and pulyerizing

this fiscal year. And there are left Of
this fiscal year more than seven months
in which now there will be grinding

not a rime comes off the cost Of our
soldiers pay, there will be billions OF
dollars 90 be saved in the next seven
months in explosives no longer pro-
duced at home and blazed away on the
field.
All the major costs Of the war can be
stopped at once. This means that all
the estimated major costs for the whole
fiscal year, since there have been act
ually less than five months OF spending
and wiz be more than seven months OF

 EAST OF MISSISSIPPI
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press. Washington, Oct. 1S.-Reports to the Public Health Service today from 35 states showed that Spanish inf1u- enza still is on the increase in most parts of the country.
