VETERANS WILL
 GET JOBS WITH
 CENSUS BUREAU

Washington, Oct. 25-Sixty-fiye former soldiers and sailors have been appointed supervisors for the four. teenth decenniaI census, according to an announcement issued today by the Bureau of the Census.
 "The Census Bureau was particu- larly glad whenever 1t found a for mer service man for the job of su- pervisor," announced Director of the Census Sam. L. Rogers. Most of the applicants who qualified, however, of broader experience than the ma jority of soldiers and sai1ors''
 Three women appear on the list of of supervisors, one having been ap- pointed to serve in the State of New York, one in Texas and one in Ne vada. This is the first time in the history of the Census Bureau that women have been selected to fill these positions.
 Of the 372 supervisors chosen ap- proximately 100 are lawyers. Ex-ser- vice men come next in numbers and editors rank third with more than 40 appointments. Farmers are rep resented with about 25, while educa. tors, numbering about 20, run the farmers a close race.
 Several physicians have undertaken the task of collecting Uncle Sam's statistics, and likewise a great many business men.
 Each supervisor appointed had to undergo rigid tests as to his fitness for the position, especial stress hav- ing been laid on character and ex- perience.
 F'No man was appointed a super visor for the fourteenth census,'' said ] MT. Rogers, Until every possible guarantee was given as to his ability 1 and honesty. Character was at all times the leading and predominatin3 consideration with the Census Bureau in every appointment made"

LONDON PAPERS COMMENT ON
 STRIKE STATUS

London, Oct. 27-NTorning papers give a large amount of space to the American labor crisis and parallels are drawn with the present situation across the Atlantic and industrial events in Great Britain since the first of the year.
 '9The general resemblance is re- markable,'' says the Chronicle, which suggests some profound underlying We fear President Wilson's illness will make it extremely difficult for him to meet the demands of the sit uation.''
 The Daily News remarks upon the coincidence of the strike in the Amer ican bitiminous field, which was an- nounced the same day that British miners began their campaign for na- tionalizatton of mines at a meeting held in Manchester.
 As far as American workers are aiming at a reasonable irnproveme ent in the standard of living, this coinci- dence is a satisfactory one," says the newspaper ''The imminence of the labor conference at Washington has
 e direct effect upon this object, as the l conference will be able to recognize }the urgency of the problem and evolve some policy tending to it's solution.'' 1 The labor organ, the Herald. says: i ''The second industrial revolution is
 now taking place. The first deprived
 a. man of his Individuality and made
 him part of a machine to manufac- i ture profits; the second is an organ 1 ized cooperative movement to restore individuality, insure 9 man the re- suits of his own labor and of his mas i ter's machine. That is the expIana-
 tion of the American unrest and ot
 similar unrest in our country"

AMERICAN AUTOS
 ARE FLOODING ENGLISH MARKET

London, Oct. 27.-(By The Asso- ciated Press) Nearly every industry in Great Britain not favored by the protection of import restrictions is trying to have itself keyed" A key industry Is one essential to British industry and considered so affected by the war that 1t must be nursed back to health through the medium of government assistance.
 The government did not remove import restrictions September on products manufactured by so-ca1led British key industries. The majority of manufacturers forced into compe- believed their industry should have been in the favored list.
 Among these are the automobile men who have protested vigorously against American machines coming into England with a duty of B Ia per cent. British manufacturers ad- init they cannot produce cars in any thing like the amount needed within many months so the Board of Trade so far has turned a deaf ear to their protestations. In the meantime Amer ican cars are increasing in number on London's streets and one Ameri- can firm advertises t'delivery within forty-eight hours after order taken
 Duty, the difference in exchange and freight charges raises the price of an American car in London tc about double the price in the United States but that is not deterring the EngHshmen from snapping them III as rapidly as they arrive.

No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a weIl-known authority. Meat forms
 uric acid which eXcites the kidneys, they become overworked from the
 strain, get sluggish and fail to filter
 the waste and poisons from the blood
 then we get sick. Nearly all rheu-
 matism headaches, liver trouble,
 nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness
 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 at tended by a sensation of scalding. stop eating meat and get about four ounces of lad Salts from any pnar- macy; take a tablespoon in a glass of water before breakfast and in few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined d with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate the kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irri-
 tation, thus ending bladder weakness. lad SaItz is inexpensive and can- not injure; makes delightful effer-
 vescent lithia-water drink which | everyone should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active and the blood pure, thereby avoiding ] serious kidney complications.-Adv
