portraits OF men Of revolutionary
times and after having been present

uncomfortable.
Dean COwper firmly believed they

Then the war came along ana Dean
Cowpcr got into uniform. Not the
least or the joys that Dean COwPcr
cot out Of the khaki was the wearing
OF leather Ieggings and knee

In March the dean was demobi-

trousers which came with cit
clothes He bided his time. waited
until he found just what he wanted.

PLAN LATEST UNION

CINCINNATI. Ohio. Sept S.-The
prosperous wartime condition CT
labor has attracted the attention OF
Covington. Ky. lawyers. who are de-
sirOUs Of forming "A union, one of the
main objects OF which would be 10 fix
a minimum charge for legal services.
An attorney approached on the sub
ject today said There is no reason
why lawyers should not form union
as we'll as actors, car men, machinists
and other crafts. The high cost OF
living and the character Of the work
performed by lawyers justifics the
formation OF a union and a fixed min
imum charge for service
As to the minimum rates for legal
service, il has been suggested that
charge of s. be made for writing
deed or mortgage. So for cNaminE
real estate title. SO for conducting or
defending case in the police or
county courts and $50 for similar
service in the circuit courts.

z new TAX SERIES

A modiied program OF Government

tion Of Treasury certificates maturing
prior to 1920, and an expression Of
gratitude TO the bankers OF the nation

today BY Carter Glass, Secretary Of
the Treasury.
Instead Of the semi-monthly offer
ing OF loan certificates. two new tax

tary. ito say definitely when the semi
monthly issues OF loan certificates win
be resumed, nor upon what terms they
will be issued. but such issues will
certainly not be resumed before Octo-
Der IS, and the minimum amount Of
fcred yAiIl not exceed $3.50, O,0OQ-
These modihcatiens are made possible
BY the success OF recent issues
of Treasury certificates, the for
tunate cash position OF the Treas

vestment- demand which will result
rom the payment OF so large an
mount OF certificates on or before
September 10.
THE third semi-monthly issue OF
Treasury certificates OF Indebtedness,
series C-f82O. was offered without
asking the banking institutions OF the
country to subscribe to. any specified
quota. The Treasury felt confident
that these certificates could be sold
In amounts more than sufficient to
meet the reduced needs Of the Gov

quota to individual banking institu.

# KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache is a sign you have been
eating too much meat, which
ferns uric acid.

When you wake up with backache and
dull misery in the kidney region it gen.
orally means you have been eating too
much meat, says well-known authority.
Meat forms uric acid which overworks
the kidneys in their effort to filter it
from the blood and they become sort of
paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys
get sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels; re-
moving all the body's urinous waste,
else you have backache, sick headache,
dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue
is coated, and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The urine
is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often
get sore, water scalds and you are obliged
to seek relief two or three times during
the night.
Either consult a good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then 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
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize acids in the urine so it
no longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is life saver for regular
neat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, cannot
niure and makes a delightful, effer-
vescent lithia-wa ter drink.
