Government Pays Cost.

The financial angle of the thing is
OF particular interest and benefit. The
government pays the entire cost of
the education, including any doctors
or nospltal blils that may have to be
PAID during the course. In addition to
this, the man draws his compensation
from the bureau of war risk insur-
ance

the last month of his service was
more than S65 a month. than he draws
that higher pay during the course of
his education.
In addition. if the mans family was
drawing any allowances, these al
lowanceS are continued
A sample case is as follows: Holm
Brown was corporal getting s36
month. He had an allotment of SIS,
which gave his family an allowance
of $50 a month during his active serV-
ice. Before he entered the Army he
was a mail carrier. He lost a. leg in
battle and it is obvious he cannot do
the same work again. He is dis
charged. and, after consulting one of
the vocational boards advisers, de-
cides he wants to be a craftsman. The
board puts him in school, keeps him
there till he is competent, and then
assists in placing him when his course
is ended. He will draw SIS a month
and his family will still draw the $50
allowance during the entire time his
course continues. If Brown had been
an officer. with pay of Sal month,
then he would have simply continued
to draw his S141 pay. The government
could not afford to pay Brown a pen
sion sufficient to live on. and If 1t
had, he would still have been a loss
industrially. As it is, Brown is better
off. the government is better OF. and
the country generally is better off.

"Sure Has the Goods"

Federal board for vocational edu

and often of themselves are enough
to make a soldier pass UP something
he ought to know about.
The very act of Congress which
created the board is much like all
acts of Congress-very legal and
camoufiaged as to language-but as
one doughboy who has passed through
the hands of the board put it, cit sure

highbrow sounding labels for a very

Not Same as Reconstruction.

Lots of people. soldiers included,
are apt to confuse Vocational rehabil-
itation" with the reconstruction
work" done at military hospitals
while the man Is still in service. They
are not the same, although the latter
often brings about the same results
as the former; although the one work
often merges into and gives a foun-
dation for the other, and although
there is the greatest possible team
work between the officers in charge
of both.
In reconstruction work, such as is
being done out at Walter Reed Hes
pital, the main thing aimed at is to
cure or timber up the arm or leg, or
finger, or improve the shattered
nerves. The fact that man, in help
ing himself cure his condition. learns
to be an expert on the typewriter, or
the stereotype machine, or to be
wood-carver, farmer or teamster, is
ION the side The main object of the
work is to get him well. or as well as
possible. Complete courses are usual
ly impossible because the patient
doesn't stay there long enough The
vocational reha Utilization scheme is to
take the already cured man who is
absolutely prevented from doing what
he did before. and train him to per-
form the old favorite OF Something
just as good"-iust as good for him
and just as good for the country.
Some times the fact that q man has
been Reconstructed makes it need
less for him to be "rehabilitated bur
more often not. and the board for yo-
cational education stands ready TO
take any man the very minute he is
discharged and do business with him.
The board maintains a vocational adj
wiser at every big military hospital
and the discharged man is urged TO
get in touch with that officer

MEAT CAUSE OF
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys
IF Back Hurts or Blad-
der Bothers

If you must have your meat every
day, eat it, but flush your Kidneys
with salts occasionally, says noted
authority who tells us that meat
forms uric acid which almost paraly-
zes the kidneys in their efforts to ex-
pei it from the blood. They become
sluggish and weaken, then you suf-
fer with a dull misery in the kidney
region, sharp pains in the back pr
sick headaches, dizziness your stom-
act fine. This famous salts is made
the weather is bad you have rheuma-
tic twinges. The urine gets cloudy,
full of sediment, the channels often
get sore and irritated, obliging you to
seek relief two or three time during
the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the body's urinous waste get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here; take tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfas. Tor a
few days and your kidneys will then
act fine. This famous salts is made
frCsn the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
neutralize the acids in urine, so it
no longer irritates, thus ending blad-
der weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot
injure, and makes a delightful effer-
vescent Whitewater drink.
