Take Salts to flush Kidneys :. if Eaok kurts CT Blad-
 der botI1ers

If you must have your meat every day, eat It, but flush your kidneys with salts occasionally, says a noted authority swho tells us that meat forms uric acid which almost para lyzes the kidneys in their efforts to expel it from the blood. They be come sluggish and weaken, then you suffer with a dull misery in the kid ney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinses. The urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the channels often get sore and irritated, obIiging you to seek relief two or three times during the night.
 To neutralize these1 irritating acids to cleanse the kidness ard flush off the body's urinous waste get four Tounces of lad Salts from any phar- macy here; take a ta blespoonful 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 i 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- i der weakness.

 No anti-malaria work had been done in Sailed prior to the arrival of the units sanitarians, who found 75 per cent. of the inhabitants were vic tims of the disease. Special diff culties were created for the sani- proportion of it's population is Arabic, and the idea of pouring kerosene oil into cfsterns to make the water fit to drink was beyond their compre- hension. It was only after the 'mukhtars'' - the semi-official and semi religious leaders-were em- ployed al assistant inspectors that progress began. Lectures were de- hvered to them. with practical dem onstrations of the effect of kerosene c on larvae, and finally the lecturer drank some of kerosene-tTeated wa ter. These demonstrations convince I the "mukhtars'' to such good effect that shortly thereafter Arabs came to Dr. Schmidt's office to complain that the inspectors had not yet kerosene ed their cisterns Another innovation that tended to make this work sue cessful was the training of a number of young women as inspectors to meet the religious scrup1e of the Mo hammedan women against appearing with faces uncovered before strang men. In four weeks the mosquito infected cisterns of Safed were re- duced from 35 per cent. to per cent

Home Made Lotion for
 Wrinkled, Flabby Skin

To remove wrinkles and age lines, or to delay their formation, 8 simple lotion made by dissolving one ounce of pure powdered saXolite in a half pint of witch hazel, will be found wonderfully eficacious. This tends to tighten and tone up the relaxed skin, making it firm and smooth. The ingredients of course can be had at any drug store or in toilet sections of department stores.
 Bathe the face with this harmless lotion daily for awhile and every line will vanish, including the deepest crowsfeet and furrows. Even the first application gives surprising. re- suits. There Is nothing better for re- ducing double chin and saggtng cheek muscles, as well as enlarged pores. No trace of the treatment itself remains on the face, so your friends will not guess the reason for your rejuvenated appearance.-Adv.

 Sanitary Division.
 The improvement of sanitary con ditions in Palestine is a gigantic task, and the beginnings made in this di- rection by A. M. z U. are of no mean proportions. During the war, much time and energy was spent in the struggle with malaria and other cpl demic conditions. The chief cam paigR of the Sanitary Division was against the mosquito plague.
 Dr. Samuel M. Schmidt, one of the original members of the Sanitary Di- vision of the Medical Unit, says that as the British Army moved northward in its last campaign the A. M. z. U sanitary squad moved Up, taking over the work which previously had been conducted by the arny's sanitary sec tion, thus saving what had already been accomplished. and making further gains in the fight against ma laria.

POWER OF REED LEADERS SAPPED
 BY DISSENSLONS

With the American Forces in Ger many, Oct. 10. (By the Associated Press. )-Sideligh on the trend of events in Soviet Russia indicating that internal dissension in the Bol- shevtk ranks is sapping the power of the Soviet leaders, are contained in the report Of a soldiers and sail ors' conference, details of which re- gently reached American headquar- ters. The conference was held in Pe- trograd in the summer and much dis satisfaction at conditions was dis played by the soldiers.
 Portions of the report read:
 ''The convention of the supporters of the Red Guard and the sailors. held in Petrograd, was attended by several thousand from the army and the fleet The minutes show that the commanders and the commissioners still take advantage of theer oThce, and although members of the com f4lurist party, are ever trying to se- cure special privileges. The soldiers and sailors were indignant because of the increase in pay of the con- manders and declared that condl- lions were worse now than those that prevailed under the regime of the Emperor They demanded that the pay be equal for all, whether the sol dier be private or a general
 Complaints were made against the conditions of the barracks, because no repairs were made and the funds appropriated for this purpose went into the pockets of tae high officials. The condition of the hospitals IS still more deplorable. There are no doc toRs or medicine and those really sick or wounded have to shift the best they can for themselves. The worst problem Of all is to provide for the families of soldiers in the field. Nothing is done for them and the money for them also disappears into the pockets of the official thieves

TWENTY CITIES BOOST
OWNING OWN HOME
Department Of Labor Starts Cam
paign for Civic Better
meut.

"Own Your Own Home" campaign
has been launched by the United States
Department Of Labor and twenty cities
are getting under way with their drives
for home building and home owning.
Paul C. Murphy of Portland, Ore,
has been selected to supervise the formu-
lation Of these plans. He has consulted
with officials Of the Department OF
Labor and several leading authorities
on building in the United States, and
as a result has drafted the campaign
manual, which is now available for such
cities and individuals as are inter-
ested in promoting home owning.
The campaign plan contemplates gen.
eral committee made PIP Of civic and
industrial leaders, with some one whose
selection as chief executive OFFICIAL
Subcommttees are to be selected to
work under this general committee.
] he function OF each committee is ex-
planned in detail in the manual.
The entire campaign is pitched on
civic betterment plane rather than on
a purely commercial basis
The Department Of Labor emphasizes
these benefits which may be expected
from the own-your-own-home move
ment:
l. It will provide better living condi-
tions, increase efficiency, encourage
thrift, give greater comfort and hap
piness and create individual reserves
for misfortune and old age. Every
house owner, with his family. whether
rich, poor or well to do. becomes thereby
a better citizen, with increased self
respect, independence and responsible
ity to the city and nation and are
more vitally interested in the welfare
and prosperity of both.
2. That during the read1ustment
period such a movement hastens the re-
turn Of normal conditions results in
much needed construction for home and
industrial purposes; provides work for
returning soldiers and for labor chang
ing from war to peace industries; stim-
ulates all lines Of business in each COM
munity; creates general prosperity.

REPORT INCREASED
BUILDING ACTIVITY
Middle West Especially Busy;
Department of Labor Of
ficiaI Optimistic.

That there is an increase in build
ing and construction work through
out the country is evidenced in re-
ports received by the Department of
Labor. This condition is especially
noticeable in the middle west, where
private interests are decidedly active.
it is stated
F. T. Miller. director of the divi-
sion of public works and construction
development of the Department OF
Labor makes the following summary
Of conditions:
There is justification for the op-
timism in several significant de7elop-
ments of the last two weeks. The re-
vical in business, for which some
have been waiting and others work.
ing, seems to be on the way. This
Is indicated, in my opinion. by these
circumstances:
Grounds for Optimism.
81. Bank clearings are compare
lively large. The territory. which, in
1917. showed ten billion five hundred
millions in bank clearings for Janu-
ary, and in 1918. in the same month,
showed eleven billion eight hundred
fourteen billion five hundred millions.
''2 Retail business is unusually ac-
tive and is showing Improvement
from week to week.
80 There is noticeable accelera-
ton of advertising activities and
when business is advertising it has
confidence in future business possi-
bilities.
"a. For the first time since 1907 real
estate in the metropolitan district of
New York city is active, some of it
speculative buying, indicating a con-
viction in the minds of the investors
that real estate prices are to advance
and present real estate prices are not
abnormal, but quite otherwise.
D. one encounters everywhere a
feeling that gradual resumption of
business is under way.
6. There is significant tone of
hnality in expressions on the wage
level question. There seems to be a
general belief that wages should re-
main unchanged. This because an in
crease in wages would be prohibitive
on production and construction costs
and decrease in wages would add
complications of a serious character
to the readjustment which is now un-
der way.
"7. Building statistics indicate very
clearly there is a gradual improve
ment. Municipal building permits in
November last were but per cent of
normal. in December they were 10
per cent, in January 20 per cent while
in February they were from 35 to 40
per cent.
