EAT LESS MEAT
IF BACK HURTS
Wake glass of Salts to flush Kidneys
If Bladder bothers you Drink
lots of water.

Eating meat regularly eventually pro-
duces kidney trouble in some form or
other, says well-known authority, be-
cause the uric acid in meat excites the
kidneys, they become overworked; get
sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of
distress, particularly backache and mis-
cry in the kidney region; rheumatic twin
ges, severe headaches, acid stomach, con
stipatiou, torpid liver, sleeplessness,
bladder and urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy:
take tablespoonful in a glass of watns
before breakfast for few days and yo, r
kidneys viii then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of crap s
and lemon juice, combined with 18th a,
and has been used for generations to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them
TO normal activity; also to neutralize tne
acids in the urine so it no longer irrt-
tates, thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone /

water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then to keep the
Kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus
avoiding serious kidney disease

There win be two flags in the COM
petition among communities. Another
type of flag will be awarded to indus
trial plants, stores, factories and other
organizations, and a paper emblem
will be awarded to households
The flag which will be most sought
after is the one to be awarded to com
munities which have oversubscribed
their quotas in all loans. The design
is very much like the Fourth Liberty
Loan fiag-white, with red border and
four vertical stripes, and one ira
verse stripe, resembling tally mark.
In the first campaign the cities and
counties were not assigned quotas. 1t

A neat little emblem will be award

buys Victory Loan short-term notes

Every town and county in the dis
trict is striving for the community
flag. Leaders in church organizations:
employers in factories, stores and of
fees and others are urging their mem
bers and employees to subscribe so
that they may win the right to fly the
flag. Thousands of them are being
awarded throughout the country, and
this district will get it's share if the
people do not lag in making their sub
scriptions to the Victory Loan.

rehabilitation of
Army Stock Rapid

DALLAS, Tex, May 7.-(By Asso-
ciated Press. 1-Demobilization of the
army mule and horse is going forward
rapidly, according to figures on gov
eminent sales just compiled by c. O.
Moser, live stock inspector of the pur-
chasing quartermaster.
The figures show that during the
war the government bought 115,0OO
head of horses and mules at total
cost of $27,000,000 in the southern
and central purchasing zones. When
hostilities ended the government own
ed about 100000 head of horses and
mules, 100000 in the United States
and 100000 in France, only 10000 of
the latter number having been shipped
from this country.
Because of the big demand for these
animals on central west farms the gov
eminent has been hurrying distribu-
ton, and when auctions now advertis-
ed are completed 10000 animals will
have been placed back on farms since
Jan. /.
Cavalry horses cost the government
an average of $165, artillery horses
$3.50, and mules $3.50, according to
these figures. At the sales cavalry
horses have brought an average OF
$85, artillery horses $3.50, and craft
mules $780, The sales have included
many worn-out animals, some selling
for as little as $40. On the other hand,
many animals have brought fancy
prices.

1. F. Swift Replies to H( over

L. P. Swift, president Of Swift and
Company. made the following COM
ments with regard TO Mr.. Hoover's let
ter 10 the President on the packing in
dustry.
Il am naturally greatly Interested In
Mr. Hoovers letters to the President.
which was written last September. and
ewlcome 1t as an honest expression OF
opinion about the packing-house situ-
alton i am only sorry that Mr. Hoover
mad not had the opportunity 10 avail
himself Of the info nation brought out
al the recent Congressional hearings in
Washington.
The principal issue seems TO be
whether or not there is a monopoly
and ! believe II was clearly demon
strated al these hearings that the large
packers are In active competition with
each otehr. There are absolutely no
agreements among the lve largest pack
ers TO control prices, and they together
handle less than forty per cent. OF the
meat supply OF the country. The LARGEST
company handles only about twelve per
cent. or the total meat supply and less
thant twenty-five per cent OF even the
output OF houses that are under u. S.
inspection.
There are about two hundred and
seventy packing concerns, besides those
operated by the fve largest. that are
under Feedral inspection. and hundreds
Of local houses that are not subject 10
inspection. All large cities hava packing
houses that compete directly with the
i've largest. Some OF their representa-
yves appeared nj the hearings in Wash
lnston and stated that they were pros
pe"ine. and that there was fair and
open competition In the industry.
Il have publicly stated that we have
no serious objection 10 being relieved
OF our Interest In refrigerator ca-s and
stock yards. But we have pointed out
that II is decidedly questionable
whether any efficiency or benent can be
galned by such procedure. We would
also call attention 10 the fact that dur
ing the recent hearings. no evils. need
ing correction have been brought 10
light In connection with packers owner
ship OF these facilities.
Il quite agree with Mr.. Hoover that
there is no reason for the Government
to take over the branch houses 6f the
packers. but do not feel that sufficient
consideration has been given 20 the

4, question OF handling other products
than meats. Swift and Company handles
only few such products, and they
are distinctly related 10 our business.
either as by-products Of the packing
houses, or as goods which can be
econom 'cally handled through our ex-
tensive distributing organization
Il hardly think that the Government
should assume authority 10 dictate
what products any business concern
may or may not handle. There Is not
only no need for such step In con-
nection with the packing business. but
IL. would act as 4 dangerous precedent
WI ch might be extended 70 all other
I industries.
1T is . little diflcult for me 10
recoLcile Mr. Hoover's criticism OF the
fact that the large packers have elimi-
mated m'dd!emen and gone direct TO the
retailers with the general opinion that
marketing should be as direct as pos
sble from producer 10 consumer. /
think IL will be conceded that II we
have eliminated unnecessary mddlemen
this has been 10 the advantage Of the
public OF large.
Since there Is no monopoly. the facts
do not justify the statement that as
time goes on this efficiency cannot fail
to diminish. and, like all monopolies.
begin 10 defend itself by repression
rather than by efficiency As long as
the large packers have 10 use their
utmost efforts In competition with each
other and with hundreds OF smaller
concerns 10 earn their profits OF only
two or three cents on each dollar OF
sales, there Is no room for a falling
OF in efficiency.
However. I welcome such sincere
and d'sinterested views as those ex-
pressed by Mr.. Hoover The public and
our legislators need 10 understand our
business much more thoroughly than
they do now. before they are 10 a posi-
ton to undertake restrictive regulation.
Swift and Company has voluntarily ap-
peared before Congressional Commit
tees 10 give such information as Is de-
sired. We have nothing to conceal. Al
we want is an opportunity TO get the
facts before the public, and when this
has been accomplished. we shall rely
on the sense Of fair play Of the Alnori-
can people, and shall abide by their
verdict"
