QUIZ SOLDIERS FOR
HISTORICAL DATA

The Virginia War History commits
sion. through its secretary, Colonei
Charles r. Kelley, Is seeking to ascer-
tain, among other things. whether OF
not the recent world war served 70
broaden or contract the Virginia SOL
dier's viewpoint: whether 1t gave him
a serious realization of the duties o!
citizenship or whether the connict
served merely to impress him OF It's
horrors and the futility OF 1t.
These and a half hundred or more
other questions are IN a
QUESTIONABLE which the commission Is
mailing out to chairmen OF loca'
branches of the commission through
out the state.
Among other things. chairmen are
requested to ascertain whether the
soldier had any objection to military
service as a general proposition, and
IL he resented or was pleased at ms
call; whether camp experiences
resulted in improved mentality
or physique: whether he had
physical and mental changes. and II
his outlook was widened or narrowed,
whether his responsibilities gave him
a better vision or not; whether the
war and his part in it made
him more or less religiously IN
clined. Wide latitude is given the
soldier in answering the last question.
The commission believes thai any
man who took part in battle must
have received lasting Impressions.
On col of lack of funds. the
commission is unable to furnish the
necessary 10000 questionnaires. sug
costing that each city and county
have it's own printed. The commits
SION. according to Colonel Kelley,
will be unable to procure funds until
the next session. Of the general as
sembly, once expenses of the com
mission are being betrayed by the
state council Of defense, but the fnuds
of the later. owing to Governor
Davis hostility to an adequate ap-
preparation. are very limited.
The date is being complied by the
commission for a permanent record
to be preserved in the state library,
where it will be flied as a memorial
OF the deeds of valor OF Virginia
soldiers. sailors and marines In the
service of the federal. state n allied
governments during American partici-
patton in the world val,

TAKE SALTS To
FLUSH KIDNEYS
Eat less meat If you feel Back
achy or have Bladder
Trouble.

Meat forms uric acid which eXctes
and overworks the kidneys in their
efforts to filter it from the system.
Regular eaters of meat must flush
the kidneys occasionally. You must
relieve them like you relieve your
bowels: removing all the acids, waste
and poison, else you feel a dull mis-
cry in the kidney region, sharp pains
in the back or sick headache, diz-
illness, your stomach sours tongue is
coated and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine is cloudy, full of sediment; the
channels often get irritate1, ebliging
you to get up two or three times DUR
ing the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous
waste get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy: take a
tablespoonful in a glass of watec be-
fore breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys will then act fine and
bladder disorders disappear. This IA
nous 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 and stop bladder ir-
ritation. Jad Salts is inexpensive;
harmless and makes delightful ef-
fervescent lithia- water drink which
millions of men and women take now
and then. thus avoiding serious kid
ney and bladder diseases.
