EAT LESS MEAT
IF BACK HUB
Take a glass of Salts to flush Kidneys
if Bladder bothers you—Drink
lots of water.
Eating meat regularly eventually pro
duces kidney trouble in some form or
other, says a well-known authority, be
cause the uric acid in meat excites the
kidneys, they become overworked; get
sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of
distress, particularly backache and mis
ery in the kidney region; rheumatic twin
ges, severe headaches, acid stomach, con
stipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness,
bladder and urinary irritation.
> The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren’t acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of water
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, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
; flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them
to normal activity; also to neutralize the
acids in tire urine so it no longer irri
, tates, thus ending bladder disorders,
i Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
I makes a delightful effervescent litliia
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then to keep the
kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus
avoiding serious kidney disease.

Indigestion
Your stomach—does it ever bother you?
That's a sure sign something's wrong
indigestion, constipation, lazy liver,
1 clogged kidneys, impure blood, Nature
is warning you, and you had better heed
the warning.
Nature not only warns us, but ab» pro
vides the remedy. There are eight great
herbal remedies that give positive relief
in all kinds of indigestion. These have
been combined into one great nature medi
cine—Vin Hepatica, the universal system
purifier.
L. F. Sweeny, a Nashville traveling man,
, broke down as a result of the meals he
was forced to eat on the road. Indigestion
and constipation of the worst kind caused
him untold suffering. Vin Hepatica re
stored him and as he puts it, made him
“fit as a fiddle.”
Vin Hepatica is surely a matchless tonic
for regulating the bowels and building up
the entire system. Try a bottle S3 cj'

DRAFT GR1I1G ’
IS POSTPONED
Will Be Held Next Week After Local
Boards Have Been Given Addi
tional Time To Prepare.
(By The Associated Press.)
Washington, Sept. 24.—The na
tional lottery, which, • in a measure,
will derermine the order of the call
ing of the 13,000,000 men between 18
and 45 years of age, which registered
September 12, probably will not be
held before next week. Officials
had hoped to fix a date late this
week, but this plan is said to have
been abandoned in order that addi
tional time may be given local boards
to correct errors made in assigning
serial numbers to the registrants.
Since men between 19 and 36 will
be called first, tfye drawing will have
less effect upon determining the or
der of the call than did that of the
100,000,000 men who turned 21 before
June 5 last. The numbers for all the
k 13,000,000 men will be drawn, but
youths of 18 and men between 36 and
I 45 will not be classified until the
beards have given classification to
all men between 19 and 36 who are
the first to receive their question
naires. In the meantime many of
the 19 to 36 classes will have been
inducted into service.
Reports received today by Provost
Marshal General Crowder from near
! ly all states indicated that satisfac
J tory progress is being made by local
; boards in attaching serial numbers to
i the registration cards, but in one or
: two instances mistakes by local
! board have made necessary the re
i numbering of the cards for all regis
: trants under their jurisdiction. No
date for the drawing can be fixed un
til this work is completed and the se
rial number posted and while this
may be done this week, it is said that
General Crowder will allow several
days for the discovery of any errors
before holding the drawing.
SHOULD CLAIM EXEMPTION.
Washington, Sept. 24.—Provost
Marshal General Crowder again to
day asked men registered under tne
selective service law who are now
engaged in answering questionnaires
not to let motives of chivalry prevent
.them from claiming deferred classi
fication if their occupation or-the
status of their dependents entitled
them to do so. He said that such
chums can be made by a third per
son and that though local boards are
endeavoring to ascertain the true
condition, even where a claim is not
made, the necessity for expediting
the work makes it incumbent upon
registrants to assist.
DISCONTENT OF
GERMAN PEOPLE
FREELY ADMITTED.
London, Sept. 24.—Count Von
Hertling, the German chancellor, ad
dressing the main committee of the
Reichstag today, declared that the
public discontent is not justified by
.the military situation on the western
front, according to a dispatch from
Berlin today.
The chancellor opened with the
promise to meet the desire of the
Reichstag for information as far as
possible. He proceeded to allude to
the “deep discontent “which has seiz
ed wide circles of the population,”
and said that the principal reason
was the pressure of the terrible four
years of war, with all the depriva
tions and sufferings brought in its
wake and the sacrifices imposed on
all classes, families and more or less
on every individual.
“I have no intention of trying to i
diminish this pressure by words,” he \
continued, “but gentlement, if this
discontent is influenced by our pres
ent military situation, by the events
on the western front, I must, with
out desiring to anticipate a statement
which we may expect from a repre
sentative of the War Ministry, de
clare most emphatically that it far
exceeds justifiable limits.”
Count Von Hertling admitted that
the last German offensive was un
successful and that it had been neces
sary to withdraw to the Siegfried
line.
“The situation is grave,” he added,
“but we have no cause to be faint
hearted. We have already had to
pass through harder times.”
The chancellor instanced the fail
