EAT LESS AND TAKE
SALTS FOR KIDNEYS
Take glass Of Salts before breakfast
II your Back hurts or Bladder
bothers you

The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trouble,
because we eat too much and ali our food
is rich. Our blood is filed with urio
acid which the kidneys strive to filter
out, they weaken from overwork, become
sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and
the result is kidney trouble, bladder
weakness and general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like Jumps Of
lead; your back hurts or the urine is
cloudy, full of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three times
during the night; if you suffer with sick
headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid
stomach, or you have rheumatism when
the weather is bad, get from your phar-
macist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in q glass of
water before breakfast for q 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 flush and stimulate clogged kidneys;
to neutralize the acids in the urine 80 it
no longer is a source of irritation, thus
ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts ia inexpensive; cannot in.
jure, makes delightful effervescent
Whitewater beverage, and belongs in
every home, because, nobody can make
a mistake by having a good kidney flush
ing any time.

system was announced q few weeks
ago.
Probably the most significant In
stance of efficiency under the new ar
rangement comes from Oshkosh, Wis.
Oshkosh post, No. 20, located 80 men
who had put In claims for training, but
had been unable to obtain a decision
on their cases. The post got these
men together and notified the district
office Of the board at Chicago, which
sent a flying squadron" of trouble
men to Oshkosh. Everyone of the 80
cases was cleaned up at once.
1t Is the intention of the Legion,
through its national vocational officer
at indianapolis, and cooperating Le-
gionnaires in every department and
community throughout the country, to
see that this same system is put into
universal practice until the last red
tape ENHANCEMENT is swept from the
path Of every crippled veteran, wheth-
er member of the Legion or not,
who is entitled to training under the
provisions of the vocation rehabilita-
ton act.
Since the Legion took up this work
In Michigan, total Of $500 cases have
been settled by the Legion and the fed.
eral board, working together. Confer
ences have been held In Is districts
of the state and Legion men, accom-
panied by representatives of the board,
met vocational officers of the local
posts and sought out the men whose
cases had not been acted upon.
In New Jersey, the Legion and fed
eral board have offices In the same
building, and through cooperation the
board is brought In touch with every
man who has claim, with the result
that immediate action is being OBJ
tanned In practically every instance.
Four district conferences have been
held In Ohio and arrangements have
been made to have flying squadrons"
visit the posts as fast as men having
claims can be located and gotten to-
gether.
In Utah, the Legion Is interviewing
every ex-service man In the state with
reference to- any claim he may have.
AS soon as such man is located, his
case is taken up and settled immedi.
ately.
In Wisconsin arrangements have
been made to hold vocational confer
ence as part of the state convention
of the Legion at Green Bay, as
a final determined effort to wind up
any and all cases that may still be
pending at that time.
Similar reports, all attesting great
success for the cooperative plan have
come in from California, Arkansas and
Alabama.

SAGE AND SULPHUR Y
r DARKENS GRAY HAIR
It's Grandmother's Recipe to
Restore Color, Gloss
and Attractiveness.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur. properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre TO the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to
get this mixture was to make IL at
home. which Is mussy and trouble
some. Nowadays, by asking at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" you will get large
bottle of this famous old recipe. i'm
proved by the addition of other in
gradients, at a small cost.
Don't stay grayl Try I'll No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as II does II 80 naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with II and draw this
through your hair. taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark. glossy and attractive.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound Is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire dark hair and a
youthful appearance. IL Is not In
tended for the cure. mitigation OF pre-
yention Of disease.

BUSY COUNTING NEW NOSES
Recent Membership "Push" Will Re-
quIre Time to Decide Total OF
New Faces Added.

There are two reasons why It will
be impossible for some time to an
nounce the total of new members OBJ
tanned in the Legion's recent member
ship push. The first Is the inevitable
lapse of time necessary to get individ-
ual figures from nearly ten thousand
Legion posts In all parts Of the coun-
try-and In some parts Of other coun-
tries. The second Is the fact that,
while the push closed officially on May
%, the enthusiasm accumulated and
concentrated on that week Of effort
has spilled over the edges and gone
right on effervescing.
The full story of the push-the meth
DDS used, all the way from somebody's
ingenious idea to everybody's solid
hard work-can perhaps never be told.
Governors Of more than thirty states
gave whole-hearted endorsement to
the push, and the resulting publicity
was Of immense value In directing at
tention to the Legion's effort. Gov
ernor John III. Bartlett Of New Hamp-
shire, for instance, issued proclama-
ton, exactly as on Thanksgiving. "In
one sense" reads the proclamation,
"this Is an exclusive affair. as In the
nation only four million, and in New
Hampshire only eighteen thousand
men and women are eligible for men,
bershlp. Yet in a wider sense, the
push, as II is designated, carries a
powerful appeal to all Americans who
cherish our national traditions"

Long Fight.

There will be female officers In the

Is a neat little section comforting the
"assimllated rank" of major. captain.

The superintendent is to have the rank
Of major, the assistant superintendent,
director and assistant directors the
rank of captain, the chief nurses the
rank of first lieutenant, and other
nurses are to be second lieutenants.
Officially speaking, q person holding
assimilated rank is one who exercises
limited authority of that rank under
the full privileges Of the rank. 1t lacks
several of the elements of absolute
rank. It does not call for commits
sion and It does not carry the pay, al
lowances or the emoluments Of one. It
makes no attempt to confer the power
Of command incident to line officer
Of similar grade. The only incidents
Of absolute rank conferred are:
1. The dignity incident to the name
of the rank.
2. The right to wear the insignia
thereof.
8. The eligibility to exercise author
ity within the limits set forth In the
law, which are as follows: "As. re-
CARDS medical and sanitary matters
and all work In the line of their du-
ties, they shall have. and shall be re-
garded as having authority In and
about military hospitals next after the
medical officers of the army"
The movement for rank for army
nurses began with Americas entry into
the great war. A series Of hearings
on the proposition were held before
the house committee on military af-
fairs on April 16, April 20 and June z,
1918. Nothing Immediately resulted,
but the nurses maintained an active
bureau In Washington, headed by Mrs.

HUNT TURK HEIRESS
Was Left $100,000,000 by
Rockefeller of Turkey"
York by an Alleged
Shelk.

New York.-The tale of the "Thou-
sand and Second Night" was told In
New York by Ben Mahomet, who pro-
claimed himself a sheik Of Arabia and
brother Of the amir of Hedjaz.
Ben Mahomet arrived here with six
retainers. His mission, he said, was
a worldwide search for Sari, Turk
ish helress, who, the sheik declared,
was plighted to marry the amir.
Sari, according to Ben Mahomet,
was last seen In COnstantinople talk
ing to q sailor from an American war
ship which had put into the port. How
the Turkish maid was able to escape
the vigilance Of her nurse long enough
to hold this conversation was not ex-
planned by the Arabian chieftain, but
after this meeting 1t seems Sari disap-
peared.
Her father Hadahismo, grieved bit
terly for the loss Of his daughter who
was known the length and breadth Of
Turkey for her beauty and charity,
and soon he died, leaving her 800, 000,-
600. Hadahismo was In Turkey, ac-
cording to Ben Mahomet, ''like Rookie
Teller Is In America"
When 1t was considered certain that
Sari had left her native land, either
voluntarily or with an abductOr, the
amir is said to have asked his broth
er. who studied at Cambridge UNIVERSE
ty In England, to search the world for
her and to spare no expense. From
Turkey the sheik went to France,
thence to Italy and Tangiers, and
finally set sail for the new world, ar
irving in New York via Halifax. Ben
Mahomet announced that If detectives
here had failed him he would appeal
to the government at Washington and
seek to learn what ship 1t was that
touched at ConstantinOple soon after
the armistice, when Sari disappeared.
