QUIT MEAT WHEN j KIDNEY^ BOTHER Take a glass of Salts before breakfast if your Back hurts or Bladder is troubling you. No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, eays a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which excites the kidneys, they become over- j worked from the strain, get sluggish and j fail to filter the waste and poisons from \ the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all i rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, i nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and ' urinary dioorders come from sluggish j kidneys. The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sedi ment, irregular of passage or attended by | a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat j and get about four ounces of Jad j Salts from any pharmacy; take a ; tablespoonful in a glass of water before j breakfast and in a few days your kidneys i will act fine. This famous salts ,i? made i ; from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, ! combined with lithia, and has been u&ed i for generations to flush and stimulate the kidneys, also to neutralize the acida in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder weakness. ' " Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot ^fajjure; makes a delightful effervescent i f iftkia-water drink which everyone 'r } abmld take now and then to keep the * " kidneys clean and activeand the blood avoiding ocriouji kidney I NOTES ? Dr. Vance W. Brabham of Orangeburg; has been appointed as his successor. There are at present only a few counties doing rural sanitation work. Dr. Brabham will be in charge of the work throughout the State and will try to get more counties interested in the work. Dr. Riser recently received his commission as captain in the medical corps. AMERICAN ABSTRACTS. Hereafter, desk jobs are to be open only to men technically qualified or those of deferred classification because of dependents or physical disability for active service, according to the General War Department orders of Friday. This clean-up oi the first draft office men must be accomplished by December 31.

Nearly a million railroad employees, including all clerks, track laborers and maintenance of way men, are to receive wage increases of $25 a month, the equivalent of $1 a day or 12 cents an hour, over the pay they received last January 1 undei a new wage order issued Thursday by Director General McAdoo. Advances are effective as of Septembei 1. Most of the employees covered by the new order have made consid erably less than $100 a month, and the voluntary increase was decided on by the director general after investigation by his advisory board oi railroad wages and working conditions of the pay of men doing similar work in other industries. In the main this board's recommendations were followed. Prohibition is continuing in its strides toward national effectiveness. Manufacture of beer in the United States will be prohibited after next December 1 as a war measure.

As an additional step in speeding up the draft organizations in the endeavor to secure for induction into military service in October men from the new draft registration next Thursday Provost Marshal General Crowder is planning enlargement of the local and district boards whereever necessary. Gen. Crowder has telegraphed draft executives in all States asking if an increase in the size of the boards would hasten their operation. Boards already have beer authorized to use additional registrars on September 12. The world series baseball contesl between the Chicago Cubs and the Boston Red Sox stood 50-50 at the close of the second game Friday, But on Saturday, Mays ptiched the American league representatives tc a second victory by a score of 2-tc 1, and Boston therefore goes home with an edge on the series to date Boston won the first erame bv the close score of 1 to 0. The Cubs captured the second, 3 to 1. A pitcher was the hero of each contest, Big Babe Ruth pitched shut oul bnll the first game and was the chiei cause of Boston's victory. Leftj Tyler won his own game the second day by driving across two runs witl: a slashing single. So far, the games have been far superior to those last year in the quality of baseball shown. But the fans are showing little interest, small crowds attend ing both Thursday and Friday.

" j German Imperial Chancellor von ,!Hertling has handed his resignation J to the Kaiser on a plea of ill health, J according to reports from Munich ! via Zurich. It 4s not known whether . the resignation was accepted. I | The United States army transport j Mount Vernon, formerly the North German Lloyd liner Kronprinzessein Cecillie, was torpedoed by an enemy i submarine Thursday 200 miles from j the coast of France, while homeward .[bound, but was able to return to .! port. The report to the Navy De; partment today made no mention of . j any casualties and it was assumed '[that no ohe was injured by the ex ! plosion. No military units were on . board, but the big liner probably . was carrying some siik and wounded .' American soldiers in addition to her 11 crew of probably 600 or 700 navy . men. Hsu Shih Chang has been elected . President of the Chinese Republic , by a large majority. He was formerly president of the privy couni cil. The new President first became r prominent in the latter days of the . monarchy when he was one of the > leading statesmen in the negotiat tions preliminary to the settlement . of the relations between Russia, Japan, and China following the [ Russo-Japanese War. ' The people of Berlin have to keep ' their mouths shut now. Berlin and 'l the province of Brandenburg have : been placed under "the law relating ?? * _ ( i to a state 01 siege wmcn proviaes " | for a fine or imprisonment of per! I sons inventing or circulating untrue 'j rumors calculated to disquiet the i populace," according to the Cologne | Volke Zeitung. . Notice accompanying the decree, which is signed General von .Linsingen, of the BranI denburg province, calls attention to ,\ the circulating of frivolous and (J sometimes malevolent and traitorous , gossip, exaggerating the transitory j successes of the enemy and casting j doubt upon Germany's power for an j economic resistance, nad depreciating the wonderful achievements of | the German troops who, it appears, | are victoriously withstanding the j enemy."

Are you an elderly man between > the ages of 45 and 56 and anxious to ) go across the waters to France with ?. the boys and do all in your power . j to crush the principles for which , I Germany fights and to uphold the honor and rights of America and i her Allies. .! If so, you now have the opportun, ity of so doing for the army recruiting stations in this district have been authorized to accept applicants over r 45 years of age but under 56 for the [ various staff corps. This means that i you may join the army and enter ; the medical, ordnance or quartermas! t.er corns, all of which are absolutely I necessary and important in the pros> ecution of the war. Men are needed . in these branches and every older man who volunteers for the service relieves a younger and stronger man r for the trenches. -j Recruiting officials of the army II in this district have sent out an api peal to all in these ages who are siti. uated so that they may answer the ' call to the colors, attempting to imij press upon their minds the fact ! they are needed badly and that it is 1 their duty to volunteer just as much as it is the duty of the younger men. There are many under 56 who are in such circumstances and health that they may well don the honored khaki. The recruiting officials anticipate the enlistment of a goodly number of these men within the next few days. Every American who is able to serve must do so, according to the officials, for the war must be won as quickly as possible. Our allies are accepting older men for enlistment and America must do the same if our war program ?s to be carried out successfully. The young soldier may now ask the older man why he is not in the service and the older man should have a clear conscience and know that it is impossible for him to enter if he is not in uniform. In the past many older men over 40 years of age have expressed their ambition to join the army and help win this war to the members of the army recruiting party and have stateed that they are ready and willing to go whenever Uncle Sam offers to accept them. The opportunity is now at. hnnrl. fnr t.lipv mav ATiliat ?t. anv I recruiting station.?Greenwood Daii ly Journal, Sept. 6. ,V DUE WEST. V > . v: ikkkk'kkkkkk.kWkkWk.'
