she left, Newport (she was then
Mrs. Leeds), vowed she would
never again set foot on Aquidneck

Notwithstanding the fact that

Little Rock, Nov. 14.-By proclama- ton, Governor McRae yesterday dislg- mated Thursday, November 30, as Thanksgiving Day and urged it's cb- servance throughout the state.
 Following is the governors procla- nation:
 "The season of thanksgiving ha come. It is a beautiful and benefcent custom that causes us to pause for 8 day to acknowledge gratitude to Gou for material and spiritual blessings. An humble attitude of praise and thanks will help our people at this hour. The size and number of iifes blessings do not count so much as willingness to give thanks for life ana health and humble possessions. There is too much pride of spirit; too much forgetfulness of God. Our blessings are greater than we realize. The peo pie of our state and of our country might well consider the blessings tha are ours. There is much suffering overseas. When We consider olr owa manifold possessions of power and ih- fluence and wealth and opportunities, let us also reflect on our obligations to the ess fortunate peoples of the earth.
 Therefore, I, Thomas c. McRae, Governor of Arkansas, hereby desig- nate and set aside Thursday, Novem- Der 30, as a Thanksgiving Day and respectfully request it's observance throughout the state''

No man or woman who eats too much meat can make mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says we'll known authority. Big meat eating may develop uric acid, which eXcites the kidneys; they become overworlled from the strain, get sluggish and fail to filter the waste and poisons from the blood; then we get sick. Rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness, sleepiness and urinary disor ders often 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 sediment, irregular of passage or at, tended by a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat and get about four ounces of lad Salts from any pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water be- fore breakfast, and in a few days your kidneys may act fnc This famoNs 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 often ending bladder weakness
 lad Salts IS inexpensive and can not injure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia water drink, which everyone should take now and then to help keep the kidneys clean and active and the blood pure, thereby often avoiding ser ious kidney complications.
