RESOLUTIONS PASSED
ON THE FARMERS’ GIVE
A-BUSHEL WAR FUND.
The following resolutions were
passed by the Constitutional Conven
tion of Arkansas August 16, 1918:
Ha! —«———’ .
Whereas, It has been brought to
the attention of the constitutional
convention that a great national
movement in support of the War has
originated in Cleveland county, Ark
ansas, known as the “Farmers’ Give
a-Bushel War Fund,” which is per
sonally endorsed by President Wil
son, Vice President Marshall, Food
Administrator Hoover, and other dis
tinguished1 officials, and
Whereas, This movement is spread
ing rapidly to other states, and
promises to yield millions of dollars
from a comparatively new source for
the rehabilitation of disabled soldiers
and sailors of the United States and
allied countries, and
Whereas, This movement is direct
ing the attention of the world in a
most gratifying manner toward the
100 per cent patriotism of Arkansas,
which is hereby enabled to set a pace
for the other forty-seven states, re
lating every man, woman and child,
especially in the rural communities,
more intimately with the winning of
the war.
Therefore, Be It Resolved, That we,
the delegates to the Constitutional
convention of Arkansas in convention
assembled, do hereby most earnestly
endorse the Farmers’ Give-a-Bushel
War Fund, and recommend it to the
people of this and other states as
worthy of their most generous sup
port.
Introduced by
Wilson of Bradley.
Read and unanimously adopted.
H. G. Combs, Secretary.
IF BACK HURTS
BEGIN ON SALTS
Flash the Kidneys at once when Back
achy or Bladder bothers—Heat
forms uric acid.
' "^Xi
No man or woman who eats meat regu
larly can make a mistake by flushing
the kidneys occasionally, says a well
known authority. Meat forms uric acid,
which clogs the kidney pores so they
| sluggishly filter or strain only part of
j the waste and poisons from the blood,
| then you get sick. Nearly all rheuma*
| tism, headaches, liver trouble, nervous
ness, constipation, dizziness, sleeplessness,
j bladder disorders come from sluggish kid
i nevs.
| The moment you fee! a dull ache in the
kidneys or your back hurts, or if the
urkie is cloudy, offensive, full of sedi
ment, irregular of passage or attended
i by a sensation of scalding, get about four
| ounces of Jad Salts from any reliable
j pharmacy and take a tablespoonful ia
; a glass of water before breakfast for a
i few days and your kidneys will then act
I fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia and has been used for
generations to flush clogged kidneys and
stimulate them to activity, also to neu
tralize the acids in urine so it no longer
muses irritation, thus ending bladder dis
; orders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes a delightful effer
vescent lithia-water drink which all reg
j ular meat eaters should take now and
I then to keep the kidneys clean and ther
| 'flood pure, thereby avoiding serious kid
ley complications.
