have put them more clearly than Pres
Ident Wilson. Here la what he said:
"These, then, are the things we must
do, and do well, besides fighting the
things without which mere fighting
would be fruitless:
"We must supply abundant food for
ourselves and for our armies and our
seamen not only, but also for a large
part of the nations with whom we
have now made common cause. In
whose support and by whose side we
shall be fighting.
"We must supply ships by the hun
dreds out of our shipyards to carry
to the other side of the sea, subma
rlnes or no submarines, what will
every day be needed there, and abun
dant materials out of our fields and
our mines and our factories with which
not only to clothe and equip our own
forces on land and sea, but also to
clothe and support our people for
whom the gallant fellows under arms
no longer work, to help clothe and
equip the armies with which we an
co-operating in Europe, and to keep
the looms and manufactories there in
raw material ; coal to keep the fires
going in ships at sea and in the fur
naces of hundreds of factories across
the sea; steel out of which to make
arms and ammunition, both here and
there ; rails for wornout railways back
of the fighting fronts ; locomotives and

EAT LESS AND TAKE
SALTS FOR KIDNEYS
Take a glass of Salts if your
Back hurts or Biaaaer
bothers.
The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trou
ble, because we eat too much and all
our food Is rich. Our blood Is filled
with uric acid which the kidneys
strive to filter out they weaken from
overwork, become sluggish; the ellm
lnative tissues clog and the result is
kidney trouble, bladder weakness and
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 you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night; if you suffer
with sick headache or dizzy, nervous
spells, acid stomach, or you have rheu
matism when the weather is bad, get
from your pharmacist about four
ounces of Jad Salts; take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and your kid
neys will then act fine. This famous
salts Is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with llthla,
and has been used for generations to
flush and stimulate clogged kidneys,;
to neutralize the acids in the urine so
it no longer is a source of irritation,
thus ending bladder disorders.
