ORIGIN OF COUNTRY FAIR
its Establishment Can Be Clearly
Traced to an Ancient Religious
Custom.

The country fair owes It's origin to
an ancient religious custom. In early
days, when EngIismen observed saints
days, a crowd of worshipers and pill
grims would assemble within the pre-
cincts of the church or abbey during
the festival of a popular saint. To
supply the wants of the throng, tents
were pitched, and stalls for provisions
set up in the churchyard. Peddlers
and traders found many customers
among the worshipers, and In course
of time these pious assemblies became
marts of trade, and were known as
'fairs."
Many odd customs associated with
fairs illustrate the social life of other
days. The opening of fairs in many
towns was announced by hoisting a
large glove in conspicuous place. In
the event of law forbidding the hold
ing Of fair without royal permission
the king would send his glove to the
town as token of his consent.
In Liverpool, a hand was exhibited
In front of the town hall ten days be-
fore and after each fair day, to signify
that no person coming to or going
from the fair might be arrested for
debt within the towns precincts.
At Paignton fair, Exeter, an i'm
mense plum pudding was drawn
through the town by four yoke of oxen
and afterward distributed for the
crowd. Its ingredients were: 400
pounds of flour, 40 pounds of beef
suet, 40 pounds of raisins and 240
eggs. 1t was boiled in a brewers cop
per for three days and nights.

IF BACK HURTS
BEGIN ON SALTS
Flush the Kidneys at once when Back
achy or Bladder bothers-Meat
forms uric acid.

No man or woman who eats meat regu-
larly can make a mistake by flushing
the kidneys occasionally, says WELL
known authority. Meat forms uric acid
which clogs the kidney pores so they
sluggishly filter or strain only part of
the waste and poisons from the blood,
then you get sick. Nearly all rheuma-
rism, headaches, liver trouble, nervous
ness, constipation, dizziness, sleeplessness,
bladder disorders come from sluggish kid
neys.
The moment you feel dull ache in the
kidneys or your back hurts, or if the
urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sedi-
ment, irregular of passage or attended
by sensation of scalding, get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any reliable
pharmacy and take tablespoonful il
a glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys viii! then act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia and has been used for
generations to flush clogged kidneys and
stimulate them to activity, also to neu-
tralize the acids in urine so it no longer
causes irritation, thus ending bladder dis
orders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes a delightful effer-
vescent lithia-water drink which all reg
ular meat eaters should take now and
then to keep the kidneys clean and the
blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kid

Soldiers Overseas To

Pershins Y A Pick" Men

Atlanta, Ca, Jan. The offer of
General Pershing to release officers
and men of the A. E. F.. from mill
tary duty in order that their services
might be utilized by the Y NJ c. A.
resulted in the recruiting of a large
number of soldiers for "Y" work, and
naturally resulted in decrease in the
number of men being sent from this
country overseas.
Up until the time General Pershing's
offer was made, the Y M C. A. had
done extensive recruiting for the pur-
pose of sending a large number OF
workers overseas. But when it was
learned that workers could be secured
in France-men well fitted for the
work because of their familiarity with
cOnditions-the services of many men
in the United States were not needed.
While many candidates for service
overseas were disappointed over the
outcome, the Y. M C. A. could not
have acted otherwise. General Per

New York, Jan. l...-There have

years old and was born at Oxford, Eng

PERSHING SENDS MOTT

Paris, Dec. 26-Many times during
the past year General Pershing has
taken occasion to commend the work
of the Y NJ C. A. for the soldiers
of the A. e. F. and to express his
keenest appreciation for the many
good deeds done by the 'Y" in this
country
On Christmas Day the commander
of the American Expeditionary Forces

War Work Council:
With deep feeling of gratitude fol

ENORMOUS AMOUNT
OF SUPPLIES SENT
BY Y. M. c. 4.
Cost of Sweets and Smokes for One
Month Reaches Staggering Fig
ure-Armistice Didn't End
Smoking on Any Front

New York, Jan. Almost $4,000,
600 worth of smokes, sweets, sporting
goods, chewing gum and other con-
modities was shipped to France during
the month of November by the Army
and Navy Y. M. G. A, for the use
of the American Expeditionary Forces
A statement to this effect has just
been issued by the National War
Council and tends to demonstrate that
the demand for supplies of this char
acter has not been reduced by the fact
that hostilities have ceased.
In exact figures the value of the
supplies shipped to France was 3d.
895,908 and each months quota will ap-
proximate this total until the forces
overseas have been materially reduced
by rehabilitation.
The demand for tobacco, cigars and
cigarettes has not diminished since
the armistice was signed, as witness
the fact that $1,351,000 of the total
amount went for the purchase of the
weed in some form. In the ship
ments were 464,911 pounds of tobacco,
198,065,320 cigarettes and $4,000 CT.
gars. AS for confectionery, there were
213,SOO pounds OF hard candy, 1851
pounds of chocolates and 1926, 280 pack
ages Of cough drops, not to mention
$4,000 tins of jams and 6,541, 800
pounds of sugar. The chewing gum
conignments totaled 6,100, 900 packages
enough to load every slot machine
in the United States.

diers it wanted and as many as II
wanted and by so doing the Associa
ton has saved a great deal of money
that would have been spent in trans
porting the workers to France. The
soldiers in France know the work of
the Y. NJ c. A. almost as well as
their own, and those who have been
so far selected are making excellent
workers.
The Y. M. c. A, however. will not
discontinue the sending of men to
France Now and then men who are
especially qualified for the work over
seas will be used, only they will be
fewer in number.
DR.. w. w Alexander, director of
personnel for the Southeastern depart
ment, points out that the generous Of
fer of General Pershing is only an
other indication Of the high esteem
which is held for the Y. M. C. A.
by the United States government and
by the leader of the American Expe-
dictionary Forces.

part:

was bounded into humiliation by
Josephus Daniels
"Mr Daniels is reported to have said
that the navy needs no wet nurse ;
