"Our country was driven into this

thrown against this ruthless force.

HouldSworth, arrived at the little

cannot be put into words.
For weeks, the parents Of Cor
poral HouIdsworth have been
keeping alight a fire OF hope that
their son was still living and that
he had not met a heroic death on
the battIefieIds of France. That
little fire was rekindled by the ar

stated that the writer had heard

Previous to the letters arrival,
Mr.. and Mrs. Houldsworth had
been advised by the war depart

had made the supreme sacrifice.
The Red Cross was appealed to for
further information, but before re-
suits had been learned as to the so
ciety's findings, the letter from the
commanding officer Of Houlds-

the news that he had given his life
as a soldier. The fire of hope died

IS COMPLETED
Survey of First Section of the Pro-
jected Aerial Service From sgd
ney to London Is Completed by
Interested Parties.

SYDNEY, Australia. Aug. Ia
Survey of the route Of the first sec
ton of the projected aerial service
between Sydney and London was re-
Gently completed. The section eX-
tends from Sydney to Darwin, which
is on the north coast of Australia and
relatively near the Malayan Archi-
pelago. The service will be carried
on by Sydney company.
From Darwin the route will cross
the sea to the island of Timor, pro-
ceed along the Malayan Archipelago
to India and thence run to Bagdad
or Port Said-probably the latter.
From Port Said 1t will cross Europe
to London. The survey of the sec
ond section of the route. from Dar-
win thru Malaga to Delhi is now GO
ing on.
1t is expected that the first flight
will be made within the next few
months, and it is planned to have the
proposed passenger and commercial
services in full operation in about
two years. If the company succeeds
London will he reached regularly
from here in 6 p days.
The Sydney-Darwin GCctioa is o.
600 miles. But the survey party trav-
elled about 4,GG0 niles in order to
select the most satisfactory landing
places or relay stations.
When the flights are in full swing
business between sydney and London
will be greatly facilitated from the
fact that letters may be answered
within two weeks of their despatch
from here.

DRESS WARM AND
KEEP FEET DRY
TELLS RHEUMATISM SUFFERERS
TO TAKE SALTS AND GET
RID OF URIC ACID

rheumatism is no respecter of age,
sex. color or rank. If not the most
dangerous of human afflictions it is
one of the most painful. Those sub
ject to rheumatism should eat less
meat dress as warmly as possible,
avoid any undue exposure and, abo' e
all, drink lots of pure water
Rheumatism is caused by uric acid
which is generated in the bowels and
absorbed into the blood. 1t is the
function of the kidneys to filter this
acid from the blood and cast it out
in the uHine; the pores OF the skin
Of this impurity. In damp and chilly
are also a means OF freeing the blood
cold weather the skin pores are clos
ed thus forcing the kidneys to do
double work, they become weak and
sluggish and fail to eliminate this
uric acid which keeps acumulating
and circulating thru the system event
ually settling in the joints and mus
cles causing stiffness, soreness and
pain called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put tablespoon
full in glass of water and drink be.
fore breakfast each morning for a
week. This is said TO eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to
normal action. thus Kidding the blood
of these impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lith-
Ia and is used with excellent results
by thousands of folks who are subject
to rheumatism. Here you have
pleasant effervescent lithia-water
drink which overcomes uric acid and
Is beneficial to your kidneys as well.
