These three books, popularly known as "Moss' Three Inch Library for the Citizen-Soldier", may be obtained through these headquarters for $3.00.

Citizens desiring to attend this camp must make application to these headquarters for authority to do so. Application blanks will be fur nished on request. 11. The Army Reorganization Bill, which became a law June 3, 1910, pro vides that the Government shali fur nish uniforms clothing, and subsist ence free to those who attend civil ian training camps; the provisions of this law cannot be carried into effect until such time as Congress shall have appropriated the necessary funds. The Army Appropriation Bill now pending provides $500,000 for this purpose. It cannot be foreseen when this Bill will become law. Under the circumstances it now becomes essential to return to the conditions originally announced on March 6, 1916; that is those who at tend must defray the cost of their own transportation and subsistence and pay for their own uniforms. These are the conditions under which the camps have been held in previous years and are the conditions which . rlntcK....n- nA TtV.4 Oglethorpe. , All correspondence relative to these camps should be addressed to The Officer In Charge, V i Military Training Camps, I Headquarters Western Department . - England Saved American Cotton ROLES AND REGULATIONS The following regulations govern ing the Camp of Instruction for Civil ians, in this department, are publish ed for the information and guidance of all concerned.

A deposit cf $30 will be required on reporting at camp. This sum covers board, other camp expenses, and in- tities to keep the price normal; and also that these agents are still in the United States, are tacts given to the United Press today. The British gov ernment, when it decided in 1915 to eludes $5 required to be deposited to make cotton contraband, realized that cover any loss or damage to United States property; this latter amount is refunded in case no loss or damage is ii currcd. The cost of transportation to nnd fiom the camps must be borne by the individual. Inoculation Not Obligatory 7. It is strongly recommended that it might cause a panic in the United States. Felix Rose, who directed the British plan to prevent this, told to day how he did it. "We had to de clare cotton contraband," said he, "but we wanted to protect the cotton planters.

'Is the British government ready to follow with the same action for the 1916 crop?' was asked. "It looks as if the 1916 crop would be able to sell itself without British aid." said Rose. Rose, an English subject, has been in the cotton business all his life. He j added in conclusion that every bale of cotton that has been seized by the British has been paid for and no shipper has lost money except pos sibly on cotton for which he would have received un exorbitant profit if he had gotten it to Germany instead of its being seized by the British. Every bale seized, he said, has been sold to spinners in England and not a single bale remains in storage. BIG EATERS GET Dm to R.tir?

Our blood is filled with uria acid which the kidneys strivo to filter out, they weaken from overwork, become sluggish; the eliniinative tissues clog and the result is kidney trouble, bladder weakness nnd a general decline in health. When your kidneys feel like lumps of lead; your back hurts or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment or vou are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night; if you suffer with sick headache or dizzy, nervous Bpells, acid stomach, or you have rheumatism when thc weather is bad. get from your phar macist aboil- four ounces of jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of wntor before brenkfast for a few d.ivs and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salta is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to Hush nnd stimulate clopged kidnevs; to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus i ending bladder disorders. .Tad Salta is inexpensive; cannot in- I jure, makes a delightful effervescent I Iithia-water bevernge, and belongs in ' every home, because nobody can make a mistake by having a good kidney flush ing any time.
