CAMP FIRE GIRLS
RE0RCAN|zE, NOW
W|NEbACO CAMP

4 new Camp Fire group has been
ORGANIZED with Miss Ileen Brophv a 8
guardian. This is called the Wineba 90
Camp Fire and it consists of the fol-
lowing IL girls: Charlotte Nerdun
Charlotte Black, Madeline Fuller. Mad
cline Christopher. Ellen Ryan. kath-
arine Turcotte. Mary Mcdonald. Edna
Daily. Gertrude Craig. Irene Durnville
Arlene Purdy. Ida Bourdway.
The month of March was the 18th
Dirt hday month of Camp Fire Girls
and so it was the purpose of those at
headquarters to double Camp Fire.
With the aid Of the Ana saquanticook
Camp Fire, which has been organized
and active for a number of years in
Gardiner, this now group was. formed
during March and so the old group
will receive from headquarters a ma
tionai honor bead for its efforts.
Camp Fire means more than good
time all by ourselves. for each year
we include others in what we do. The
first decade Of Camp Fire is now past.
We all know what those 10 years gave
to the girls of America. They gave the
Camp Fire idea itself, with it's wide
possibilities for finer girlhood, they
brought splendid women who have act
ed as officials and guardians. they
brought the girls, many Of whom arc
now grown and who set the standard
high for all the years to come.
The girl of today is the woman of
tomorrow. What is the significance of
the Camp Fire program as we think of
ttat tomorrow? What kind Of women.

DRUGS EXCITE
THE KIDNEYS,

The American men and women
must guard constantly against kidney
trouble because we often eat too
much rich food. Our blood is filled
with acids which the kidneys strive
to filter out: they weaken from over
wor.s. u come sluggish. the elim-
native tissues clog and the result is
kidney trouble, bladder weakness and
a 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
18th sick headache. or dizzy. nervous
spells, acid stomach. or If you have
rheunla ism when the weather is bad,
begin drinking lots of good soft water
and get from. your pharmacist about
four ounces of .Jad Salts. Take a
tablespoonful in glass of water be-
fore breakfast for few days and
your kidneys may then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for years to help flush and stimulate
cloEged kidneys, to neutralze the
acids in tho system so they no longer
are source OF irritation, thus often
relieving bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
lure, makes delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink and belongs in
every home, because nobody can
make q mistake by having q good
kidney flushing any time: BY all
means have your physician examine
your kidneys at least twice a year

was not without skill in the choice

stinctive dislike for man whom he
felt to be his intellectual superiors.
He also disliked people of independ-

within the family circle he preferred
these who were more subservient.

Francis Joseph was a faithful son
Of the Catholic Church and looked
up with reverence to the Holy
Father, but quite in the spirit of the
tradition Of his house he guarded
the rights of the dynasty and the
state with utmost tenacity, even
against the pope. He took no in

ever he expressed an opinion on
these subjects he showed decided

tria- Hungary towards the South and
West of Europe had become impos-
sible. Only in the southeast could
she still count on an expansion of
her territory and power. Thus from
the close of the nineteenth century
onward the policy of the leading
Austro- Hungarian statesmen had
taken the direction indicated by
geographical conditions.
"In this Austria had to reckon
the opposition of Russia which. with
the pressing eek of Turkish in
fuences. had become her great rival
in southern Europe. In order to
maintain herself as a great power

hostile attacks, and suffer no res

she could not allow another great
power to command the Danube and
its estuary and arrogate to itself
the hegemony of the Balkans peo-
pies. This political and economic
opposition between the Hapsburg
monarchy and Russia was reinforced
by rivalry of an ethical and cultural
nature.
In view of this struggle against a
, competitor superior in population
and military strength, the Austrian
Hungarian had sought an alliance or
understanding with those European
states whose interests appear to run
parallel with their own.
