PLAN TO ENROLL
ALL LABOR HERE.
The United States government
1 through its agency, the U. S. Public
Service Reserve, is going to enroll all
of the laborers throughout the United
States and the U. S. Possessions.
' . 1 This is being done so that the govern
>- mpnt will have a complete census of
all the available laborers that might ■
; be used in industries doing work es
I; aential to winning the war.
y- Every man above eighteen years
old will be given an opportunity to
volunteer his services to the govern
ment in a capacity for which he is
,...bwrt qualified. The government is
r' going to depend largely upon the pa
triotism of its citizens to volunteer to 1
help win the war by offering to do
. war work in the various war indus
; trie3.
At some near future date a house
to house canvass will be made by pa
triotic volunteer workers for the pur
pose of enrolling all of the laborers in
the city of Newport. Every man will
be asked to fill out a service card

is willing to volunteer to do gov-j
ernment work. Every man will be
expected to fill out a card but no one
will be required to volunteer. This
will be left to the patriotism of the
signer.
One general chairman will be ap
0 pointed who will be responsible for
* the entire organization.
jH The general chairman will appoint
one vice chairman for each ward in
the city. Each vice chairman will ap
point a necessary number of captains,
who will divide their wards into dis
tricts from four to six blocks and
appoint two or more enrollers to cov- j
«r each district.
The duties of the enrollers will be
to go from house to house and pre
sent each man with a card and get
the card filled out and signed in their
respective districts. They will turn
the cards over to the chairman in
charge of the ward, who will then
' make his report to the general chair- i

is rich. Our blood is filled with uric
acid which the kidneys strive to filter
out. they weaken from overwork, become
sluggish ; the eliminative 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 rheumatism when
the weather is bad, get from your phar
macist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
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
litliia., and has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys;
to neutralize the acidB in the urine so it
rio longer is a source of irritation, thus
ending bladder disorders.
.Tad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure, makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water beverage, and belongs in
every home, because nobody can make
i mistake by having a good kidney flush
big any time.

“For twenty-five long years I suf
fered with stomach trouble and indi
gestion and tried everything I ever
heard of for it, but kept getting
worse all the time,” she continued.
“I just had to force myself to eat
enough to keep myself alive, and what
little I did eat made me suffer hours
of agony, from gas that would rise
on my stomach. I had awful head
aches and dizzy spells constantly and
was so nervous I could hardly sleep.
I fell off in weight and got so weak
and so no-account that I felt I could
never be well again.
“One of my neighbors told me what
Tanlac had done for her, and I start
ed taking it. I begun to pick up right
away. I kept on gaining until I
had increased in weight twenty-nine
pounds and my strength has come
back to me in full force. I can eat
anything I want and everything
tastes good. My nerves, are all right
again and I sleep like a child at night
and get up in the morning feeling
fine. Tanlac has made me strong
and well again.”
Tanlac is sold by al the leading
duggists of the county.
