Wrestling with the problem Of how
best to impress upon the people Of
the Ninth Federal Reserve district the
surprising Importance Of saving OF
every degree, great, small and me.
dunn, the central committee Of the
Ninth District War Loan organization
has happened on an astounding case
OF what small savings can do.
This Is, according to A. r. Rogers,
central committee chairman, that II
every one Of the 110,00O,OO0 citizens Of
the United States should buy just one
Thrift stamp day for little more
than two years they would have

pie, saving rs cents day for 25
months, or to be exact, 764 days, would
have saved sum equal to that spent
for the following great undertakings:
The American army which turned
the tide of victory in the world war
on the fields Of France.
Additions to the navy since April,
1917, and all the costs of maintain
ing the navy and paying it's men for
81 months.
The merchant marine Of the United
States SO far as 1t had been completed
to January /.
The Panama Canal.
A number of great dams and irriga-
ton projects.

throughout the United States.

This sum- about $1,000, 100000, will be
returned by the allies at maturity Of
the loan. Meanwhile the United States
will receive interest on the whole
sum.
And the startling fact remains"
said Mr. Rogers, that rs cents day
saving by every person in the United
States would pile up this amount Of
money in % months.
This shows the overwhelming i'm
portance Of saving in eSen the small

anyone who can read these figures
and not realize that small savings are
important. Too many people feel that
when they buy Thrift Stamp or

verse is true. If efficiency means any

"Of course the United States gov

does not change the facts we are CIV

The total sum each citizen would
have to save to equal the national debt
is $190.91. If only one cent more were
saved the sum would be S1,100,000

JIMMY SMITH QUITE
LUCKY BALL PLAYER

A ball player who is not q regular
on a championship team, but who
draws share of world series purse,
is naturally counted very fortunate.
Jimmy Smith, utility inflelder of the
Reds, has "sat out" his second worlds
series, and for the second time re-
ceived a neat sum of money without
having to work for it.
Smith received $5,20701 as his
share Of the series money between
the Reds and White Sox. All he had
to do for this "gob" of cash was to
run for Sherwood Magee, pinch hit
ter, and to get into an argument with
Eddie Collins.
In 1917 Jimmy was with the Giants,
and drew down bundle Of coin in
the fall, though he did not take part
in the series with the White Sox.

QUIT MEAT WHEN
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take glass of Salts before breakfast
If your Back hurts or Bladder
is troubling you.

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
excites the kidneys, they become over
worked from the strain, get cluggish and
fail to filter the waste and poisons from
the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
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
a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat
and get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take
tablespoonful 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 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 irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
iniure; makes a delightful effervescent
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.
