DON’T BE A TURK'S HALF
BROTHER!
(By Porter Oakes.)
If you had been born an Armenian
instead of an American, and a subject
of Turkey instead of a free citizen of
the United States, this would be your
condition today:
Your kid-brother would be a slave
servant in the dirty house of a dirtier
Turk.
Your own sister would be the rav
ished, abused, leered-at property of
a foul-minded Mohammedan.
Your father and mother would be
crouched, stark, cold and lifeless by
the side of a road that leads from the
Turkish dominion, where they fell in
their struggle toward food and free
dom.
L Your wife would be sitting in the
* meat mm
TO THE KIDNEYS
Take a tablespoonful of Salts if Back
hurts or Bladder bothers—Meat
forms uric acid.
—
We are a nation of meat enters and
our blood is filled with uric acid, snys t>,
well-known authority* who warns us to
be constantly oil guard against kidney
trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to fir:'
the blood of this irritating acid, h.rt
become weak from the overwork; they
get sluggish: the eliminative tissues
barren desert to which she was de
ported and driven, starving and
heart-broken, with your hungry, dy
ing baby clutching at its mother’s
parched, withered breast.
And you’d be dead—brutally butch
ered after they had deprived you of a
man’s right to fight for right, and
stripped you to the skin of all you
had.
these multiple-tragedies have come
to a million homes in the Turk in
fested lands of the East. While the
world’s police-nations concentrated
their efforts to exterminate the
snarling mad-dog of Prussianism in
Europe, the carriony buzzard of
Turkey, temporarily free from the
surveliance of a justly ever-suspi
cious world, attacked the helpless
peoples under Turkish domination,
sinking its talons into the flesh of
the weak, and leaving in its wake
death, disease, starvation and desola
tion to Christians and Jews.
The Allied nations will undoubted
ly see to it that the massacres are at
an end. But those of the past have
left four million desolate, starved,
sick, helpless men, women and child
ren who must die during the next six
months unless help comes from gen
erous individuals.
To give them food—to help them ;
live—to save their lives—or to be ;
half-brother to a Turk, adding your
neglect to their persecution, and let-j
ting them starve to death—that must j
be the decision of every man when
he is asked to contribute to the Arme
nian and Syrian Relief Campaign. j
The drive begins February Third.,
—
nml thus the waste is retained in s '
blood to poison the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel like |
lumps of lead, and you have stinging j
pains in the back or the urine is -cloudy, i
• full of sediment, or the bladder is ini j
table, obliging you to seek relief during I
the night: when you have severe head.• 1
lobes, nervous and. dizzy spells, sleepless- |
ness, acid stomach or rheumatism in !>•••■• j
weather, get from your pharmacist abo:: ..
four ounces oi Ja*l Salts; take a
h&blespoouful in a gla^s oi water before
break-fast c.-teh morning and in a rV.v
days your kidneys will act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
v litliia, and has been used for generations
to (lush and stimulate clogged kidneys
to neutralize the acids in urine so it i
no longer a source of irritation, thu:
ending urinary and bladder disorders.
• ad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
i.ijure: makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-wnter drink, and nobody can make
a mistake by taking a little oecnsinnrliy
to keep the kidneys clean and active.

with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as
they cannot reach the seat of the dis
ease. Catarrh is a local disease,
greatly influenced by constitutional
conditions, and in order to cure it you
must take an internal remedy. Hall’s
Catarrh Medicine is taken internally
and acts through the Diood on the mu
cous surfaces of the system. Hall’s
Catarrh Medicine was prescribed by
one of the best physicians in this
