rroddrd by leaders.
Oregon's liherty loan total, with In
complete returns from Portland,
reached t:J.4S0.S5S last night, with the
probability that the actual tabulation
will show at least Kt.OOO.OOS. Outside
of Multnomah County tha slate total
stood at $ll.l.Ots. Figures for Port
land hava not ln compiled for three
days, but It believed that the city cam
tbelr findings. Not only has Mr. Rob
ertson supported the third loan, but he
has bonds in the two prior Issues and
a splendid reaord in other patriotic
activities.
This should be said In Justice to Mr.
Tlobertson." said General Guy W. Tal
bot, commander of tha Portland forces,
"that he has a peculiar way of attend
ing to hie own affairs and Is an odd
man to approach. The difficulty In the
matter waa undoubtedly due to these
reasons. For he la a patriot through
and through, and baa also been a loyal
backer In previous drives witn ni
money as wall aa spirit.
Km tire Family Participates.
"Just prior to tha present bond cam
paign Mr. Robertson purchased 120.000
worth of Government short-time cer
tificates with the intention of convert
tng them Into liberty bonds of the
third Issue, as soon as these bonds were
readv for delivery. Jn addition ne n
bought through the United States Na
tional Bank 15000 of the third liberty
loan bonds, as well as bonds for his
wife and daughters.
-He has been Influential In influenc
ing others to contribute to this and sim
ilar war work activities.- ir. noorn
son baa alwaya been willing to do his
share in duties of this nature and will
also be ready with his part In the
future. Hia loyalty remains unlm
peached."
With reference to reports concern
ing citizens who are alleged to be able
to buy bonds, but who have not yet
subscribed to the third loan. Robert H.
timith. state campaign manager, urges
those who report such Instances to be
abundantly certain of their facts, and
then to report them fearlessly.

"We hava received numerous com
T7alnt about people who have not sub

come such Information and want all

a strong line of demarcation between
rumor and fact. A great deal of loose
talk has Iven circulated by people who
ara not Qualified to speak.
"While every case of slacking re
sorted to us will be given a rigid and
thorough Investigation, our advisors
should reday charges until they are
convinced of the facta and convmcea
that such report Is warranted. The
charge of falling to support our boys
at the front la a serious one. Actually
It menta a stone wall and cold lead.

Flush your kidneys occasionally
if you eat meat
regularly.
No man or woman --ho eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by flush
ing: the kidneys occasionally, says a
well-known authority. Meat forms uric
acid, which clogrs the kidney pores so
they sluggishly filter or strain only
part of the waste and poisons from, the
blood, then you set fick. Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, liver troubje,
nervousness, constipation, dizziness,
sleeplessness, bladder disorders come
from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a 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, get
about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any reliable pharmacy and take a ta-
blespoonful in a. glass or water Before
breakfast for a few days and your kid
neys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapeB
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate
them to activity, 4-lso to neutralize the
acids In urine so it no longer causes
irritation, thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive ana cannot
niure: makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink, which all regular
eat eaters should take now and then
to keen the kidneys clean and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
complioations. Adv.
