LIBERTY OAK SET

By Proclamation President Calls
on Nation for Funds.
PEOPLE URGED TO BUY
Half Holiday is Set Aside and Every
City and, Hamlet to Hold Meet
ings for American Rights.
Washington, D. C President Wil
son, in behalf of the Liberty Loan,
Sunday night issued a proclamation
fcting aside October 24 as Liberty
yawl urging the people ol the na
tion to assemble on that day in their
respective communities and "pledge
to one another and to the government
that represents them the fullest meas
ure of financial support."
"Let the result be so impressive and
emphatic," the President urges, "that
it will echo throughout the empire of
our enemy as an index of what Ameri
ca intends to do to bring this war to a
victorious conclusion."
The President's proclamation fol
lows: "By the Presient of the United
States of America:
"A proclamation:
"The second Liberty Loan gives the
people of the United States an oppor
tunity to lend their furfds to their
government to sustain their country at
war. The might of the United States
is being mobilized and organized to
strike a mortal blow at autocracy 'in
defense of outraged American rights
and of the cause of liberty. Billions
of dollars are required to arm, feed
and clothe the brave men who are go
ing forth to fight our country's battles
and to assist the nations with whom
we are making common cause against
a common foe. To subscribe to the
Liberty Loan is to perform a service
of patriotism.
"No, therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson,
President of the United States of
America, do appoint Wednesday, the
24th of October, as Liberty Day, and
urge and advise the people to assemble
in their respective communities and
pledge to one another and to the gov
ernment that represents them the full
est measure of financial support. On
the afternoon of that day I request
that patriotic meetings be held in
every city, town and hamlet through
out the land, under the general direc
tion of the secretary of the Treasury
and the immediate direction of the
Liberty Loan committees which have
been organized by the Federal Reserve
banks.
"The people responded nobly to the
call of the first Liberty Loan with an
over-subscription of more than 60 per
cent. Let the response to the second
loan be even greater and let the
amount be so large that it will serve
as an assurance of unequaled support
to hearten the men who are to face the
lire of battle for us. Let the result be
so impressive and emphatic that it will
echo throughout the empire of our en
emy bh an index of what America in
tends to do to bring this war to a vic
torious conclusion.
"For the purpose of participating in
the Liberty Day celebrations all em
ployes of the Federal government
throughout the country whose services
can be spared may be excused at 12
o'clock Wednesday, the 24th of Octo
ber. "In witness whereof, I have here
unto set my hand and caused the seal
of the United States to be affixed.

EFENSE BODIES
WELL ORGANIZE
Local Councils Have Been
Formed in Practically Every
State in Union.
MACHINE WORKS SMOOTHLY
Value of Centralization la Shown by
the Reports That Have Been Re
ceived at National Head
quarters. Nation-wide local organization for
war purposes Is approaching comple
tion, according to a report just made
to the several state councils by the sec
tion on co-operation with states of the
national council of defense. In every
state la the Union there Is by this
time an official state council of de
fense; and in 43 of the 48 states a
chain of county or local councils has
been developed. Two more slates have
planned to begin such local organiza
tion at once. Every week the section
on co-operation' with stutes hears of
new districts organized and new activ
ities undertaken by the local organiza
tions. The reports which come to Washing
ton from the state councils show the
value of the decentralization thus ob
tained. The most useful sort of war
work Is that done locally by Individ
uals who come Into personal touch
with all the elements In their com
munity and who know their field like
a hook. Not only 'are the county and
town councils of defense useful In do
ing work for which there is a unique
demand In their own locality, but they
are especially valuable In carrying
through projects Initiated either In
Washington or In the state councils.
Machine Works Smoothly.
The great machine Is now working
smoothly. Suppose Washington wishes
locnl co-operation throughout the coun
try In some particular task. Through
the section of co-operation with states
It calls for the help of the state coun
cils; the state councils pass on the
work to the county or town councils;
and these In turn In some cases direct
the work of subordinate councils and
communities. With a minimum of du
plication the work is carried on local
ly under federal direction. And the
machine works the other way, too.
Any suggestion from a local organiza
tion may he transmitted to Washing
ton and be made the basis of work In
as much of the country as Is prepared
for it.
Thero are many Interesting varia
tions In local organization. While the
county Is the usual unit of state sub
division, In many of the smaller east
ern states the township or municipal
ity has been tnken as the unit, while
Bevernl states have town councils
working under the county councils.
There arc three distinct methods of
choosing the members of local coun
cils. In a niujorlty of the states the
members were appointed directly by
the governor or the state council, but
In a few states certain county officials
were ex-officlo constituted the county
council, and In many cases the stute
council arranged a meeting of promi
nent citizens, at which the county
elected Its council members. The rela
tion between state and local organiza
tion varies from Wisconsin, where the
work of the state council Is law and nil
the activities of the county councils
are supervised with greatest cure, to
Massachusetts, where the municipal
councils are held competent to manage
their own ufTuIrs and receive nothing
more binding than suggestions from
the statehouse. It may generally be
said that local organizations are given
wide discretion hy the state bodies.
Most Are Self-Supporting.
In a inujorlty of cases the local coun
cils are self-supporting, sometimes be
ing supported by volunteer contribu
tions and In a few cases hy appropri
ations from the locnl authorities. The
generul verdict seems to be that the
flnuncliil problem Is easier for local
than for state organizations.
Detailed Information ns to the work
that the different states are doing Is
lieng collected and filed by the section
on co-operation with states, and Is at
the disposal of the public. The section,
undertakes to act as a clearing house
for the state councils, trnnsmltting
suggestions and advice from one to!
the other anil furthering the rapid,
growth of the whole vast system of
war activities.

SALTS FOR KIDNEYS
Eat less meat if Kidneys feel like
lead or Bladder
bothers.
Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels, get sluggish and. clog
ged and need a flushing occasionally,
else we have backache and dull misery
In the kidney region, severe headaches,
rheumatic twinges, torpid liver, acid
stomach, sleeplessness and all sorts
of bladder disorders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney
region, get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any good drug store here,
take a tablespoonful In a glass of wv
ter before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia, and Is harmless to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate
them to normal activity. It also neu
tralizes the acids In the urine so It no
longer Irritates, thus ending bladder
disorders.
Jad Salts is harmless; Inexpensive;
makes a delightful effervescent Hthla
water drink which everybody should
take now and then to keep their kid
neys clean, thus avoiding serious com
plications. A well-known local druggist says he
Bells lots of Jad Salts to folks who be
lieve in overcoming kidney trouble
while it Is only trouble.

Many a man has fallen down because a
test of his water showed unmistakably
that he had kidney disease.
The kidneys are the scavengers and

the poisons from the blood. Their signals
of distress are easily recognized and In
clude such symptoms as backache, de

"The very best way to restore the
kidneys to their normal state of health
and cure such symptoms," says Dr,

GASOLINE FROM GASES
New Method of Extraction Found
by Uncle Sam's Experts.
Absorption Process Different From
Those Formerly Used and Is Ex
pected to Reduce Waste.
At the present moment, when the
country's needs for gasoline threaten
to outstrip supplies, a new means for
obtaining gasoline Is of greatest Impor
tance, says a statement issued by
Uncle Sam's department of the In
terior. Such a new source is disclosed
in bulletin 120, "Extraction of Gasoline
From Natural Gas by Absorption Meth
ods," by George A. Burrell, P. M. Bld-
dinon and G. G. Oberfell, which may be
obtained free upon application from
the bureau of mines, department of the
interior, Washington. Bulletin 120 is
an Important contribution to the lit
erature on the extraction of gasoline
from natural gas.
The extraction of gasoline from nat
ural gas by compression and condense-,
tion has been an Important and rapidly
growing Industry in recent years. In
1915 about 05,00(1,000 gallons were pro
duced by such methods, while In 1916
the estimated production was 100,000,
000 gallons. This gasoline is of dou
bled Importance in that it can be blend
ed with napthas otherwise unsatisfac
tory for use In the automobile, and
made Into an acceptable motor spirit.
The absorption process Is quite dif
ferent from the older compression
process and heretofore has not been
described in literature. It is a method
only recently commercially applied to
natural gas yielding the same quality
of gasoline and capable of being ap
plied under conditions where the older
process could not be employed profit
ably. By it the gasoline in natural
gas, though extremely lean, can be ab
sorbed In oil from which It is separated
by distillation. Natural gases yielding
less than one pint of gasoline from
each thousand cubic feet of gas have
been treated with commercial success,
where formerly this gasoline had gone
to waste and had constituted a source
of much trouble and expense in the
pipe lines.
In view of the present needs of gaso
line for war and Industrial purposes,
this additional quantity of gasoline,
heretofore a waste and source of ex
pense, is of tremendous Importance
and may be considered as an excellent
illustration of the results the bureau
of mines Is obtaining in its Investiga
tions for reducing wastes and Increas
ing efficiency In the petroleum Indus
try. Bulletin 120 treats fully the underly
ing principles of the absorption proc
ess, as well as the methods for testing
natural gases for gasoline, the con
struction and operation of absorption
plants, and records the results ob
tained by several plants of demon
strated commercial success. While so
far restricted in commercial use to the
treatment of large volumes of gases
too lean for profitable treatment by
compression, It Is not thought to be
limited to that field but Is believed to
be capable of extension Into condi
tions where compressors are now be
ing employed.
Sea Soldiers Are Quick
in Preparing for Action
What Is believed to have been .
a record In "lashing" and "stow- j
Ing" was made by the United
States marines serving on board
a superdreadnnught of the At- a
lantlc fleet recently. i
When the call "up all ham-
mocks!" was sounded shortly 8
after midnight the sen-soldiers
were sleeping In their hammocks.
In Just five minutes and twelve e
J seconds they "turned out," J
"lashed and stowed" their ham- e
J mocks In the nettings, dressed
themselves and were at atten-
J tion on the quarterdeck ready '
for any duty which might have j
. been required of them. .
FROWNS UPON STAGE FEASTS
Uncle Sam Asks That Imitation Food
Be Used or Scenes Omitted Alto
gether During War.
Uncle Sam's food administration Is
asking the theatrical and moving-plc-ture
people of the country to refrain
from using real food In their produc
tions during the war. The administra
tion Is of the opinion that in meals on
the stage and In the making of films,
Imitations can be used in most cases,
and believes that where this is not pos
sible, the scenes showing the use of
food can be omitted.
The amount of food unprofltably
used In theatrical performances
throughout the country amounts to a
much larger bulk than is ordinarily re
nlir.ed. The food administration de
sires to stop not merely the actual
waste of this food material, but to pre
vent the unconscious bad effect on au
diences at this time when every effort
Is being made to drive home the need
of the elimination of every possible
food waste as a means of helping to
win the war.
Lead Output of United States.
The United States geological survey,
ilepnitinent of the interior; has under
taken a midyear canvass of lead pro
duction, the results of which have Just
been tabulated by C. E. Slebenthal.
For convenience of comparison half the
corresponding quantities for the 12
months of 1918 are inclosed In paren
theses. The output of domestic desil
verized lend, excluding desilverized
soft lead for the first six months of
101T, was 152,231 short tons (158,235)
the output of domestic soft lead. In
cluding desllverlmf soft lend, was 124,
292 tons (117,879) and the output of
lend produced from foreign ores and
bullion was 29,539 tons (9,453). The
total exports of lead were 88,677 tons
(57,808). Disregarding stocks, the ap
parent consumption of lead In this
country In the six months was 268,952
tons (230.587).

Ten years ago probably not one
American in a million expected to see
the day when the government, on thir
ty days' notice, would by its flat stop
the-making of whisky for an Indefin
ite period. Yet that is precisely what
was done last month, under the pro
visions of the Food Control Act, while
the country looked on in amazement.
The greatest distilleries In the world
those at Peoria and Louisville
stopped the buying of grain, save in
comparatively small quantities for the
manufacture of alcohol for commercial
and medicinal uses. These great
plants have not been equipped for
producing anything except whlBky.
Experts tell us, however, that of all
the grain that was taken by distil
leries the country over, only 40 per
cent went fhto whisky. This estimate
would indicate a saving of 40,000,000
bushels of grain a year for food pur
poses. There need be no fear of a
whisky famine, for the stock accumu
lated by the distillers and stored, is
described as enormous. Meanwhile,
the government will continue the col
lection of heavy taxes on this stock,
and Its revenues from this source may
be even greater than before the manu
facture was stopped. From "The
Progress of the World," in the Amer
ican Review of Reviews for October,

Cause Corns But
Who Cares Now
You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once a week Invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by a Cincinnati authority
to use a drug called freesone, which
the moment a few drops are applied
to any corn or callous the soreness is
relieved and soon the entire corn or
callous, root and all, lifts off with the
fingers.
Freesone dries the moment It la ap
plied, and simply shrivels the corn or
callous without inflaming or even Ir
ritating the surrounding tissue or
kin. A small bottle of freesone will
cost very little at any of the drag
stores, bat will positively rid one's
feet of every hard or soft corn or
hardened callous. If your druggist
hasn't any freesone he can get it at
any wholesale drag house for 700.

Philadelphia, Pa. "One year ago I
was very sick and I Buffered with pains
m my side and back
until I nearly went
crazy. I went to
different doctors and
they all said I had
female trouble and
would not get any
relief until I would
be operated on. I
had suffered for four
years before this
time, but I kept get
ting worse the more
medicine I took. Every month since I
was a young girl I had suffered with
cramps in my sides at periods and was
never regular. I saw your advertise
ment in the newspaper and the picture
of a woman who had been saved from
an operation and this picture was im
pressed on my mind. The doctor bad
given me only two more days to make
np my mind so I sent my husband to the
drug store at once for a bottle of Lydia
E- Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and
believe me, I soon noticed a change and
when I had finished the third bottle I
was cured and never felt better. I grant
you the privilege to publish, my letter
and am only too glad to let other women
know of my cure. "Mrs. THOS. McGotJ
